Hell, if you think being a PC gamer was bad, try being someone who isn't much into fighting, shooting, and driving games!Khaiseri said:
Name me a single good platformer released over the past five years Besides Mario. I can think of, maybe 1? 3 at most. There's been a few good games that don't involve shooting everything dead within a 20 mile radius or driving over everything within a 20 mile radius, or punching everything to a KO within a... Well, you get the picture. Call me crazy, but there's something about playing games of war that just turns me off. Maybe it's the fact that you apparantly need an online to really get into the game, which I A) don't own, B) will never find unless I REALLY look, and C) I don't want to use, as it seems that some people that jump on online play have their controlers stuck in their cerebaral cortex...
Bah. The sooner developers stop making the same old war games, the better, if you ask me...

I do not consider Mario that good, but anyway hat's not my point. Not every game made is about violence and war, there are some original ones, like Portal, but on the past years every company has been recycling every aspect of every other game.TAGM said:
Also, platformers...
Psychonauts, Mirrors Edge, American McGee's Alice has platformer elements, the Prince of Persia SoT Trilogy were good in my opinion.
Also, I would have liked more adventure games to appear, like Penumbra, but it's a dead genre now unfortunately.
Also I've never been into racing nor Fighting games, and maybe never will. BlazBlue seems kinda interesting, but I need to wait for when it comes on PC, but still I do not think any other fighting games will get my interest.
And I do not play online at all, I never considerate that good anyways.
The problem with game developers is that they are recycling a lot of games, but not making anything better on them.
Example: BioShock. It ripped off the same story of System Shock 2, but it's "moral" choice wasn't well implemented, and gameplay felt too basic. Yes, I know They also did SS2, but we wanted a evolution of SS2.
What games need to be would be more originality and more new IP's that are good. I'm tired of seeing more sequels, yet there are few that I'm interested on (Dead Space 2, Portal 2, Crysis 2).
Developers surely have their talent, they just do not use it.
I do see your point of not liking war games, but unfortunately this "new" generation of gamers only want war games (by new generation I mean kids, which I'm one myself, but even then I'm tired of seeing more of the same. I have more respect for old games than most of my generation, which call old games "Pixelated" crap). It would be a lot more fun if we had games where we do not kill each other, at least for a couple of years.
if you consider MW2 to be somewhat recent i would get that. its a great standalone game with a strong online community. good story especially if youve played the original MW.
just cause 2 is good if you want to dick around and have fun

Mario, not that good?!? BLASPHOMUS WHORE MONGERING FU *ahem.* By which I mean, it's been better then it is, but it's still worthwhile - at least to me. Eh, to each his own. I never actualy got portal or Orange box - I feel like a bloddy fool now, of course, watching people shouting about appature science and SANDVICH and so forth, and knowing what they're talking about and yet still fealing left out. Not that that matters, but... Whatever. as for the rest, they're all M.I.A. on my games list as well. I never actualy got any money until recently, so I've mostly just been given games instead of buying them for myself.Khaiseri said:
As for adventure games, there seems to be a recengence nowadays with point-and-click adventures - after all, we now have the mighty powers of DOSbox, so it's much easier to play Space quest or Kings quest or Another-god-damn-quest Quest. As for fighting games, about the only one I got into was SSBM - Brawl not so much - and racing games only came to mario kart to me. Yeah, you can tell mine was a nintendo household, can't you? we did have a genisis, but it's M.I.A. SNES? Right behind me, still wired up.
Yeah, seems most game developers are a lot like avid cristians these days - Scared of evolution. It would be nice if someone came up with some new ideas - It can't be that difficult. I've had ideas for games that I don't think I've seen before in my fucking SLEEP. (Mind you, Twilight got thought up that way, so... Maybe it isn't a good idea to move this idea ahead.)
And I deffinatly agree with you on the war game liking front. I listened to these group of guys talk about a few games in english, and I couldn't tell when they moved from one to the other - Or even if they did in the first place! Goes to show, doesn't it? I'm a fan of old games myself - Hell, I brung my Gameboy colour with me on holiday about a month ago, and that got played about the most, I think. It's more then just the nostalgia, though - Back then, you couldn't get away with awesome graphics and music, because the tech just wasn't really there for anything other then something totaly fucking awesome to sound or look even halfway decent. So, developers had to TRY to make things sound, look, and play good. OK, so we got crap, but it was a bit easier to work out which was crap and which was not just by looking at developers, titles, ect. Still, can you think of a game that didn't involve killing or destoying something? In mario, it's bowser and minions. In link, it's monsters and a giant pig man thing. Even in tetris, the main idea is to destory blocks! No wonder gamers are seen as violent assholes...
