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.

I think the problem is more so limited to first person shooters and specifically competitive first person shooters, there is a large amount of innovation in indie games, and in all other genres of games such as RPGs. For as long as books can still be considered new so to can video games have new and exiting stories, you are just playing the wrong kind of game. FPSs dont tend to focus on story and tend to use similar mechanics (simply because they work) they have noticed that when they try and change people complain, and sails are better when they do very similar things to before (maybe just a little different look then before). In the end i think it is a lack of innovation in the FPS realm not so much the gaming realm in general.
