I dont know what it is, but over the past 4 or 5 years, I have not been impressed with the games coming out, and to be honest I am getting a little bored.
During the mid-week madness and weekend sales I have been buying games at discounted prices. Over the past year I have bought maybe a dozen games, and almost none of them make me say "wow", or even grab my attention.
Where are the games like Doom, or even something new like what half-life was. Is it "really" that difficult for developers to come up with new ideas?
For the past 2 1/2 years I have been mainly playing the left 4 dead series. But the lack of timely updates (as compared to tf2) has left me with a game that has little interest anymore.
The whole battlefield genre of games is of no interest to me.
Not interested in tf2, much prefer Fortress Forever, but the FF community leaves a lot to be desired.
About a month ago I bought fallout new vegas, it seems like a lot of fun so I might try playing it a little bit more.
Borderlands is fun, but its more fun with a friend playing co-op.
Lets get back to the current games. From the list of new games like homefront, brink, duke nukem forever, and bulletstorm, just about all them have received poor reviews. I am not going to waste my money on games that receive poor reviews.
I bought my son black ops and brink; I was not impressed with what I saw on either game.
Back in the late 1990s I was a big id software fan, but id has not made a good game in years. I am looking forward to Rage, but I have doubts about how good its going to be.
The games I am looking forward to are:
Diablo III is supposed to be out soon, and that is something I have been looking forward to.
Serious Sam BFE look interesting.
Dead Island looks interesting, that is one I am going to keep an eye on.
I really like the left 4 dead series, but valve has not been updating the game with anything new. Unless its a major bug, l4d/l4d2 are not even getting patched. Dead air was released last weekend for l4d2. But after playing a few times, I was like "so what". It seems that a whole bunch of noobs have started playing l4d2, and its just no fun with people who do not know how to play.
Over the past few years it seems to me that the whole gaming industry has taken a nose dive. Instead of creating new and interesting games, developers crank out garbage, after more garbage.
