Pretty obvious what I'm asking here.
Are they dying in your opinion?
In mine they are. There isn't anything innovative or new nowadays. The same games over and over and over again, SLIGHTLY better graphics and textures, a little different gameplay mechanics but in general it's all the same. And in all honesty the grand majority can't hold my attention for 1 hour.
We've had lots of the same for the past few years. It's like devs are just set on recycling ideas, making sequels, making -blam!-ing HD remakes of games that haven't even been out for 3 years. And everyone just eats it all up. Seriously the mainstream gamers are the same as the people that listen to mainstream music. No thinking or anything, they just eat everything big corporations throw at them and act like it's awesome. No critical mentality, brain is always off.
I love videogames and it saddens me that the market has gone so stale and so devoid of creativity and innovation.
So give me your opinions guys. Let's have a nice discussion about a topic that surely everyone would find relevant around here.

If its dying its mostly our fault. We get games strictly for the multiplayer nowadays n not for a deep entrenched story. Companies see this n start to bs with the story but make sure that the multiplayer is top notch. Although i don't think creativity n innovation in the gaming world will ever die. I do think we need to stop buying games only for the pvp. Bc the industry is designing the games around us n our desires. Ive literally heard ppl say -blam!- pve idc about a story i just want to play pvp n im not just refering to this game. Think about it buy a game with a story and multiplayer on release date what do all ur friends do 5 mins after u turn on ur console to play? Invite u to pvp. It use to be go through the story beat the game then get on multiplayer now i can barely get to the story bc 5 mins in i get invites for pvp on release date. If we just start caring alil more about all the content we get not just one aspect of it i think companies like bungie will adjust. If not games like destiny will continue to be released . Just my 2cent
