You got me, I think those games are garbage to. I played half of the first game and only about 5 hours of the second. I wanted to finish them but I just couldn't take it, it was agonizing.
Here is the thing: I LOVE run and gun platformers. The first three Tomb Raiders still are enjoyable to play as far as I am concerned. Uncharted just took the tricky jumps and the shooting mechanics from Tomb Raider and nothing else... Those were the worst parts of the tomb raider series. What made tomb raider enjoyable was exploration and puzzles. I never get any sense of exploration when playing uncharted, and I don't recall a single puzzle. It was just awkwardly gunning things down and running from burning trucks. How utterly boring.
Tomb Raider also had that little thing missing from many games today.. I think people in 'the olden days' used to call it fun. Fighting dinosaurs and trying to stop people form bringing forth the end of the world with ancient magic relics and other enjoyable nonsense. Uncharted was just a smart ass killing foreigners. You could say the series qualifies as 'America porn'.
"Dumb American with guns" explotation? Ameriplotation? I cant think of a better name for this new brand of cinema that will explode on the Italian film making industry

Best... Typo... Ever...! This has set me off in hysterics... and my imagination is running wild! I am now completely switched on to a possible revolt of my cuppa in front of me...!
On to your point though, as much as I can see your point, the praticality would be diabolical! If people had to pay for good games, but anything that is 'mediocre' is free, then people will end up just stopping buying the good games! I agree that some people will still buy them, but most people, especially people not as into games as we are on here, will chose the cheeper alternative... This will devalue the games industry tenfold!
You could suggest that good games are higher price than mediocre games, but tha already happens, and is happening more and more with new games! Hell, some games don't even appear to devalue as fast as others any more!!
Unfortunately as valid as your point is, it is too impractical for an actual implementation!
WELCOME TO THE MADNESS MAH BOY

!!! Here, have a biscuit.
But anyway, yes i kinda believe anything since no matter where i look nothing seems to make sense anymore but in a way it reminds me of the fans of Sonic games, who buy the games over and over even of they get worse every time. A normal person would have, you know, write a polite angry letter and fuck off to do something else, not just staying in a dark hole and waiting for a miracle to happen.
Just for once i will like to have a real discusion of what makes a game good and not being showered by post like:
"Everyone has an opinion and that opinion is that everyone has an opinion"
"You just dont get it"
"I know where you live (angry face)"
"You are a Redneck Hipster Hippy Emo Goth New Jersian moron who works for the Fox Channel"
Because when you get down to it, i think no one in existence knows what the fuck is talking about. That is why i use common examples of movies that flopped when they came out and turned out to by hidden gems that apparently NO ONE cared they even exist until its already too late, to compare to the situation of games in hopes that at least i laid the basics to where to start
Besides, we all know that pirates don't control global warming......because global warming is a product of the MAJECTIC12!!!! They cloned Tony Jay and Walt Disney and put them together with augmented lungs to sing the Rite of Spring. Since they sound so identical, the timeline will confuse them as the same person and make a paradox that will allow Raptor Jesus to come to this world and be captured by an army of Twilight Fangirls that will confuse him with Nosferatu (obviously, since the fangirls don't know any fucking better.) Later he will be frozen and shipped to a secret base in the head of John Malcovich where he will try to contact Gaia from the Captain Planet series and ask her to turn on the heat on the planet by playing the Disco Inferno song (You know, makes sense). And that is why we have global warming, all according to plan because it was the will of The Force as prophesied by The Milkman, whose milk is delicious.
