Games aren't the way they used to be. You used to be able to buy a game for its fun gameplay. Now the companies think, "We have the technology. Let's make the game as real as possible!" Then they make the splendid graphics and forget about the gameplay. Then they realized that they fogot the gameplay and put a crappy control scheme and even more crappy gameplay in it. They think they have a game since you interact with it. If that is the case, then the whole site of Homestar Runner can be a game since you interact with it.

Yeah, the companies are running out of creative ideas. They are more focused on good graphics and suffer from poor gameplay.

And Kitten Yiffer, the game was an online game. Forget the name... but anyway. That is a good idea. More cross-over concepts would be good.

Oh, phew. I was really worried for a second there.

Daikatana would be a perfect example of an ambitious game that ended up underperforming despite the high standards it wanted to set.

Yeah, i believe they have a lack of Creativity. Mostly these days, the games are made in the same concept but there are some good games though, which is good.

I don't think they face a lack of creativity.

The players don't want creativity, they want rehashs of old games or good GFX.

Seriously... I'm kinda sad to see that gamers tend to fit into two categories today...

Those who will play anything, as long as it got good GFX and those who will play anything, as long as it's old or that it's a remake of a old game.

Donkey Kong Country was listed as one of the most overrated game through time.

All I can say, I never found Donkey Kong Country fun. But then I never played it any longer than five levels.

Proof of this would be the fact that, even though the GBA has been out for almost three years, no original Mario game has been made for it...and all the remakes have the same exact Mario Bros. minigame. Sheesh. How hard is it to design new levels? (Yes, I know there's more to making a game than level design, but in the time Nintendo made those four remakes, they easily could have made two new Mario games instead.)

Well, that says a lot then, doesn't it.

And if you're looking for overrated titles you can definately find a lot worse.

Seriously. That game wasn't one of the games I would play for a while or in years. Good title, bad game.
