It's not the concept of going back to an older style of games that's the problem, it's the fact that they generally take the worst parts of the new stuff and mix it with the worst parts of the old stuff.Zeeky_Santos said:

'We're going to take well known gaming character back to their roots'
= We are going to completely rape the canon of the series.
'Not actual game footage'
= We were too afraid to show you anything real from the game as tbh the graphics sucks and so does the gameplay, but this fancy cutscene will still make you buy it because this is Gears of War or Halo.

The problem isn't that it's hard, it's that they promised the impossible. I understand it's difficult, but people should be held to what they say to some level. If they can't even come close? Don't promise it.GothmogII said:
"Innovative."
We slapped a single new gimmick on the product and expect you to eat it up.
"User created content."
We were too lazy to create a full game. Play with the editor instead.
"Due to piracy,"
Our profits are at a record high, but we need a reason to dick you over even more.
"Action packed"
Hey, QTEs are an action, right?
"Strong Multiplayer"
We couldn't think of a plot longer than three hours. Play CTF and TDM on three maps for 60 hours.
"Mature themes"
Designed for 12 year olds. Expect boobs, blood, or bad language to the hilt, and thousands of kids teabagging you online.
"Controversial"
Because how else would we sell you last year's pile of **** again without a "No Russian" scenario?
Oooh this is a good thread:

"The latest entry in survival horror"

"A new experience in Massively Multiplayer."

"Merely spending time playing the game will give you points ... which is a shame because we'll be shutting the thing down in three months, after charging you twice as much as most games do."
"An innovative matchmaking system lets you play against other people."
=
"After you grind on the game for several hours playing by yourself against an impassive, unhelpful AI, we'll drop you into live games against obnoxious people who will pound you into dust using techniques you never even thought of, insulting you all the way."
"Immersive cinematics take you away to another world."
=
"The cut scenes pad out the game play to 40 hours, showing you people performing moves that you can't do, and engaging in dialogue written too poorly to actually make it into movies or television. But since we let you push a button every 45 minutes, you'll feel like you're having fun!"
"The latest installment of the widely-acclaimed Japanese franchise."
=
"The cut scenes pad out the game play to 80 hours, showing you people performing moves that you can't do, and engaging in dialogue written too poorly to actually make it into anime. Since we let you stare at women in pain every 45 minutes, you'll definitely be having fun! Don't worry, it's a different culture over there."

Heart pounding cinematic action
You have no real control over what is happening. It runs at less than 30 frames per second and has horrible motion blur on everything. At least it has some music, sassy one liners and panning shots of the scenery that were inspired by movies.

I read this thread, and I agree totally with all of you guys. WHICH IS SAD.
This is all fucking common sense shit, and yet somehow, the people who are supposed to be experts in the field have marbles where their common sense parts should be.
I suspect its because the schools are training technicians, not craftsman. And the companies are hiring technicians, not craftsman.
