Poll: Is Gaming Going Downhill

[Megacherv]

Heavy Rain
God of War 3
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in time
Uncharted 2


These games say different.

How do 4 sequels and a game that hasn't come out yet prove me wrong?

Because these games are original, or are fantastic in their own way (and it's actually 3 that haven't come out yet). I'd say that Heavy Rain is the most story-based game I've ever seen, God of War 3 is complately brutal (in a good way, the demo was awesome), Bad company 2 will (hopefully) be as fun as the first one (and have the same sense of humour), Ratchet & Clank needs no explanation, and Uncharted 2 looks like it's a fantastic game filled with epic set pieces that can make an archaeologist orgasm.

Gaming isn't going downhill, it's merely slowing.

wich might be an indication that it is going uphill, if it where going downhill the seed would increase.

In the context of slowing down, I mean they are just not coming out with as much new ideas.

Don't read what I say as JUST that, consider the context.

In what context would something slow down if it started going downhill?

It's an analogy.

By going downhill it means the industry is starting to fail.

By slowing down, I was refering to new ideas.


THAT'S the context, hell look at the freaken name of the thread "Is gaming going downhill" do you honestly think that he means "It's speeding up" NO he is refferring ot ideas, and sequals.

did you even read the OP ?

so new ideas are slowing down?
What does that even mean?

You sir or Madam, must be a retard or a troll as no one is that stupid.

by slowing down I mean NOT AS MANY NEW IDEAS COMING as opposed to when there were many new ideas coming out, now you mainly have sequels from which would imply that the rate at which new ideas are coming HAVE SLOWED DOWN.

Scratch that you must be a troll.

No, it is just you who seem incapable of making analogies without making a mess of things.

Sure, its the internet but one still got to maintain some sort of standard in these things.

No.

All of this could have been avoided, if you read the OP, and had enough logic to get at what I'm saying.

No one else was puzzled by what I said, or else I would have had more replies.

Just please read the OP, before posting as it tends to make the comments make sense. >_>

Of course I understand what you meant it is the analogy that annoys me.

just because I understand perfectly well what you mean doesn't mean that you get to mix analogies however you like.

Now you're just annoying me and are not worthy of the time it took to post replies, I can see now that you won't just shut up and move on.

You are just sore because you know that gaming was never really on a hill to start with.

Modern Warfare 2. I rest my case.

Exactly why I think gaming is going downhill, because people say games are going to be great, before they even come out, so no matter how bad some games are, they will still sell a shit load, and reviewers will give them good reviews because it is safe to give a popular game a good review like halo 2 and halo 3 got.

Indeed. This whole thing is making me a little sad.
