Are videogames dying in terms of creativity and innovation?
Pretty obvious what I'm asking here.
Are they dying in your opinion?
In mine they are. There isn't anything innovative or new nowadays. The same games over and over and over again, SLIGHTLY better graphics and textures, a little different gameplay mechanics but in general it's all the same. And in all honesty the grand majority can't hold my attention for 1 hour.
We've had lots of the same for the past few years. It's like devs are just set on recycling ideas, making sequels, making -blam!-ing HD remakes of games that haven't even been out for 3 years. And everyone just eats it all up. Seriously the mainstream gamers are the same as the people that listen to mainstream music. No thinking or anything, they just eat everything big corporations throw at them and act like it's awesome. No critical mentality, brain is always off.
I love videogames and it saddens me that the market has gone so stale and so devoid of creativity and innovation.
So give me your opinions guys. Let's have a nice discussion about a topic that surely everyone would find relevant around here.

Edited by hyenaedon: 1/18/2015 3:22:37 AMYeah. The single player story games are beginning to fade as people only want amazing multiplayer but no story whatsoever [spoiler]Cough Destiny Cough[/spoiler]. Not to say there aren't good multiplayer games, like Team Fortress, Halo, Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare. Also, a game for the Wii u called Splatoon looks really great. Check out the trailers for it. But I agree we need more inventing of new gameplay and not another CoD with a different logo. Another example is The Behemoth with Game 4, it's like a turn based strategy game but with The Behemoths style, which is amazing. [spoiler]Oh, what a wall I built.[/spoiler]
