AAA games can't be good anymore. It's turned into the film industry (and became even bigger). They create these huge million dollar games (most of it goes to stuff that will exploit your brain into buying the product, akin to using yellow and red color in the food industry; and many other tricks) and the only thing that matters to them is max profits. This is partly because the developers no longer have control. The people who have control are the same business men that came from Wall Street who saw this emergence of an industry and an opportunity to exploit it.

Our culture that gives handouts to any that try is anti-best. There is no best anymore, everything is the same (read Harrison Bergeron (watch Whiplash too; it's sort of relevant)) which causes nothing but mediocrity. This affects games causing them to be mediocrity even with indie studios. Capitalism as we know it is also a problem that causes mediocrity from only caring about max profits. These (being mediocre and maximizing profit) are taught in our society. So, who would we blame for this problem? It's like the problem of the drug dealer and the drug user (who is in the wrong?(answer: both)), except the drug user was forced to do drugs by another individual. That individual is the education system which I won't get into here.

These games are bigger than films too so they bring in a lot of influence. Don't you think someone might want to exploit that amount of influence? They are but that's another discussion.

Mediocrity and exploitation and max profit at all cost. This game won't be good.

I looked at that laser wind up gun and it got me thinking of this.

Other than that, I swear they've decided to make Mass Effect.

On the plus side, even the stupid people that buy every AAA game to come down the pike, and nothing else, know what they're getting into.

I do feel for graphicsfags that also value good gameplay and storytelling, though. Nobody's going to sink millions into AAA graphics for something like Binding of Isaac that casuals won't even ever hear about.
