| Don't blame the pipe, blame the lack of content Broadband isn't holding the gaming industry back, the gaming industry is holding the gaming industry back.
Poor design, high charges ($60 for a new game, really?) , lack of ingenuity, lack of creativity, poor follow through, and failure to adapt. Yeah, THAT is the gaming industry in a nutshell. That's also WHY they are being 'held back'. | |

overall game prices have gone down in the last 20 years.
look it up.
and all of these alleged problems:
said by twhiting9275:Poor design,... lack of ingenuity, lack of creativity, poor follow through, and failure to adapt. are patently false.
i swear the majority of the people in this thread don't actually follow the games industry. | | |

$60 for a game is not "going down", it's "going up", way, way up. Example.... The prices of video games in 2006

Again, wrong
You want examples? Fine
Mass Effect 3
Dragon Age 2
SWTOR
These are ALL suffering from the exact thing that I listed, poor design, lack of ingenuity and creativity, VERY poor follow through and failure to adapt. Of course there's more, but each and every one of those has the same exact problem.
next time, don't comment on things you don't understand | |

2006 is not "back in the day". it was the launch of the current console generation. i hate to call out your age, but i have to believe you're less than 20 years old based on that comment alone.
take a look at the attached image. game prices were higher in the 80s and 90s, especially when adjusted for inflation.
NES games were the equivalent of 59.79-99.65
SNES games were the equivalent of 80.17-96.21
again, you're age is showing if you don't remember this.

three of those games are the same genre and from the same developer. if all you play is the equivalent of Madden every year then i'm unsurprized you think games are derivative.
the industry is very large and you'd be better served by remembering that citing bioware rpgs and licensed lego games is clear evidence you're cherry picking your data.
want an example of a creative new game? look up Curiosity.
as an aside, just because Hollywood remakes and reuses franchises all the time (ie The Amazing Spiderman), that doesn't prevent original new stories from being told (ie. Looper).

sigh, i'd continue to call attention to your ignorance, but i think you've done a fine job yourself. | |
