OP, I'm just glad to see that someone here literally QQs over the state of the gaming industry and specifically, a sect of "entitled" gamers that they cater to.

Only thing I gleaned from that wall of text and boy, what a gem.



Had a laugh at the "+1's" and the "well said op's"...what a bunch of drama queens. You read all that drivel? Shame on you.

As long as they are making money and idiots keep spending money for their products this wont change. And you cant really blame EA or anyone else. Who needs to spend the time/money to make a great game when an average game can be made and make the same amount of money especially when reviewers now have average games getting great scores. Games like MGS4 gets ranked 10 simply because there is not a scale high enough to show how much better that game is compared to the other games that are ranked a 9.0. This is also why my game library is so small made up of only great games or fun games.

That being said Last of Us looks like they might be breaking the trend.....and Destiny also is looking pretty good. Only time will tell but at this point it does appear that there are some devs that are making really good games. We as gamers just need to know who to support with our dollars as if the good game makers get support at the bad/average not so much then the bad/average will have to step up their game.
