[Rant] What's Wrong with Video Games These Days?

Hey, if we want to talk about great gameplay and no storyline to make a top notch game, we just have to look at Grandia Xtreme. Well...at least I can.

It wouldn't. The wii is just motion controls on a less-powerful system. That's it. It's not a step in the right direction, it's a step sideways. We have light guns. Every system pretty much has had one. Play duck hunt. OMG innovation.

But not every system has had a light gun that could do fancy motion tracking and possibly do a rad job of emulating arcade light gun games such as Police 911 and those others which track your entire body. Or, you know, they could make the FPS actually feel like a real shooter instead of me sitting on my couch fiddling with some knobs.

Also, I'll be the first to admit that I feel Wii Tennis has more potential than any other Tennis game I've played. I mean, I can't wait for them to come out with a full-fledged Mario Tennis using controls like Wii Tennis.

It's ok, though. You can just ignore me since I only play games that nobody cares about anymore because they're more than a month old.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Duke Nukem Forever is so going to be the best game ever.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wait, you console people used to play Battlefield with 16 person servers? That's too small even for a decent match of TF2.

I just wanted to point out that time in development doesn't necessarily make a game any better. I mean, if you want another example, try Daikatana as one which was released, but probably shouldn't have been.

I don't think anyone will fault Blizzard for their continual late releases since all of their games that are released late are absolutely top notch and have benefited from the extra polishing they give to it.

But take my favorite game at the moment, TF2. Do you really think it takes as long as they're waiting between patches to create the new content, or do you think they're just dragging their feet for no good reason?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
