My main issue with gaming right now is simply to much content is locked/held back for DLC and to add to that now you get all this store exclusive crap. We are expected to pay the same price for less content and at the same time we keep hearing publishers bitch about used sales when they are ripping off new buyers left right and centre.
Yes in some ways this gaming has gone stale but i do blame some of that on the length of this gen and the devs. Not many will try new IP's this late in but then most of the one that do get burned because gamers seem to stay away from new IPs now days bar a small few and just stick to the yearly releases.

Today I decided to actually play through the demo of Resident Evil 6... even though I really haven't been a fan since 4 (well I didn't really like zero either but whatever).
Nothing happened in Leon's. I walked through some rooms and I think there were zombies. Chris' starts off with the lamest patriotic speech that should be just before the climax of a really bad action movie, and zombies now have guns. Fuck the acid spitting jackasses from Jake's storyline and - I don't know - I can't remember anything else about Jake's Campaign.
That's all that stuck out to me.

I certainly agree on DLC. What a developer is telling a consumer when they announce paid DLC is that their disc is worth shit. Not gunna sugarcoat it I'm going to do DLC, but it'll be free so long as I can help it (Bastion's DLC is free on all platforms except 360 because MS forced them to charge)

Its effecting my game buying now and the reason I've not got Max Payne 3 yet is because R* announced lots of planned DLC before the game even went on sale. Other games as well i end up saying screw it ill just wait for the GOTY or till its a lot cheaper.

Despite the fact that I absolutely love Borderlands I won't be buying it for a while for the same reason.

Bastards even do it with XBLA games. Fire Pro Wrestling is out today for 800MSP but they have day 1 DLC worth 400MSP to get 12 'new' matches, 20 new wrestlers, a set of new moves and costumes.

No, no, no, no, youz have got it all wrong. The industry's biggest problem, that thing that it's missing is REAL FUCKING STEALTH GAMES. I still feel cheated about bein tricked into buyin Assassin's Creed coz it was billed as a stealth game (despite lovin it)
The only time I wanna feel invincible in a game is when I'm Batman, Duke Nukem, or Sonic after just poppin the relevant pod/TV. And quit it with the constant checkpoints, I want a sense of peril when playin games, not "oh well, I'll just reload from my checkpoint five seconds back", they're makin games too easy so there's relatively little challenge anymore (also one of the main reasons online gaming has taken over this gen)
I'm playin Deus Ex: HR right now on Give Me Deus Ex, and it's just too easy. I've won every trophy and award possible on FM 2012 for the last two seasons runnin. I only ever died on RDR by accidentally jumpin off a cliff or goin too far into water. They're just too much of a breeze.
I remember gettin frustrated as fuck on the final level on Sonic 1 for the MS, no rings, three lives, one hit and I'm dead, no saves. It was tense as fuck, and you'd have to keep it turned on overnight if you want another crack at it. That shit was challengin. Nowadays, the only ones that do pose any sort of challenge are either too unappealing or absolute shite. They need to take that same shit and inject it into games that people actually give a damn about.

shut it! put the two together, look at EA's half arsed attempt to cover up a lazy upgrade, nobody wants to use all these new social features when playing football, upload this, create that and Ultimate over there! PES has always focused on the key aspects, like the way its played, I can see more fixes on PES than I can FIFA, I can see more desire to do good on PES than FIFA. Yes yes its maybe because PES is so far behind that any update will still be seen as disappointing compared to its rival but for me I love it, so do the critics.

Have you tried the 2nd demo? All reviews are saying its as good as Fifa 13.
As for Stealth get Mark Of The Ninja from XBLA.

FIFA's so good that it doesn't really need much doin to it. I'd love to be able to say it was the other way about, coz I used to be a Pro Evo head, but FIFA's undeniably the better of the two by miles. I can actually put it quite simply... FIFA feels like football, Pro Evo just feels like a football game.

well KONAMI have said that a new studio has been announced for London for next years installment, do believe the reason for EA's play it safe FIFA 13 is they have something up their sleeve for next gen!

All sports games should release a game ever 2-3 years, do shitloads of DLC for peeps who wanna keep up to date n shit, and leave enough time to make vast improvements per game. In an ideal world.
