The problems I see don't sound any different than pretty much anything in the entertainment industry these days (with maybe an exception for TV), style over substance. Why spend any time on a well developed story and fleshed out characters when we can wow you with the special effects? Why give you a new gaming experience when we can just update some things here and there and call it a new game when it qualifies more as an expansion pack? Why focus more on gameplay and story when we can wow you with the visuals of modern technology and give you various eye-candy? And why should we care to try anything different when people are still giving us money?
