For me it's not so much the showing me too much, it's more the lack of innovation and the iteration of tasks going from one game to another.  The problem with consoles now is that it's big business, it costs too much to bring a quality game out on these systems and on store shelves that publishers mandate that they want their game 'more like call of duty'.   That's why we got the stupid humans to fight against in Aliens:CM, sega wanted it to be more like COD.

I'm not so much drawn to OYUA though i am happy to see that platform come to market.  I am however being drawn back to PC gaming.   There's a lot more thought and innovation going on in the PC gaming space than the console space has seen in 5 years.

The new consoles are just going to make the problem worse.  Higher graphic fidleity means more expense which means less risk and innovation.  Also at least on the 360 side, i think they've lost a bit too much focus now developing a living room media center rather than a GAME machine.  Sony at least at this point seems like they've clued into that and are making the PS4 focused on gamers first.  We'll have to wait and see what microsoft has in store but the specs on these next consoles is very very similar.  The difference is going to be which console innovates games.  If Microsoft is thinking intergrated kinect is going to innovate games the way gamers want them innovated, they're going to fail.  And your casual audience that are using their 360 for Netflix and Hulu have no reason to upgrade to Xbox 720, it's nto going to do that stuff any better than the 360.

I'm not interested in having a 'new' experiance with everything I play.

I want to be entertained. I get that with big budget stuff and I get it with some games that some people don't even consider games.

That said, we'll hook up on whatever (and whenever) the ouya crawls out of it's hole. And I know I told you to follow the Bolts. Stop. They're getting killed now.

Now go buy Journey. I think it's on sale for $8. I've played maybe 10 hours but it will pop into my head every now and again. Very powerfull symbolism if you let it take over.

Vegetarians who watch hockey can't have opinions.  

Play more fighting games. 

Miss you bro, come back for some rb6 Vegas. 

I agree with Biznass -- Go buy Journey.  It's one of the best gaming experineces I had in long time and you can play through in one sitting.  

It will be interesting to see what the PS4 brings, if they really will open things up for more indie developers to get titles published on PSN.

very interesting, let me tell you my story into gaming and creativity. Since i was young i found i had patience to draw things good enough that i would even sell a picture of drawn (real example) porche cars in a cartoony yet detailed quality (quality has always been something ive come to love) and would actually sell my pictures so that i can buy "limber" (basically frozen juice in a plastic cup). Now you would think i would grow from this as far as the buisness part of it went. Ive drawn wolves with high hair details, faces, including copying an image my grama had of jesus onto a "pastel" (<spanish food) wrapper which is basically a type of wax paper that wraps around the "pastel" before submerging in water too cook, anyway so i had no type of paper and that was my closest to a surface to draw on. Why i chose to draw jesus, i still ask myself now a days for theres a multitude of things i believe in. The selling and drawing on whatever surface happened while i was in Puerto rico. so i never really sold art work for nothing more than $1, it was interesting to just see what ppl thought of a finished product once i handed it to them and they wouldnt have to even say anything, i almost knew instantly how they felt. that being said ive played games for many years and always had an eye for quality, mechanics not as much as i do now tho, i played games like street fighter with little knowledge that games could be modified! my creativity im more than sure woulda blown me away if i knew i could have done this, so any way, i gamed and gamed playing only what the world put infront of me untill i got into high school and took computer technology and data comunication, from there i learned all i needed to know to still be able to keep up with tech even 9 yrs later without going to college for it, the net was and still is my schooling continued. I eventually got me a laptop with a gforce 9150 go or something like that. Down this technical path i found out about diferent things ex: emulators, mods, sandboxes and such! when i saw a little program called MUGEN, i was like...why didnt i find this out before? lol, it just took me deeper in gaming when i saw chun li, matter fact, the whole street fighter character base system fight against fuking family guys and you can just imagine the shit theyve done. So i only just played the "mugens" i never actally moded one up my self since i was in the half life era and figured i might as well move on, but never forgeting what i experienced. So, half life, great game i believed, all type of mods including one called "Garrys mod" where you could jump in the virtual world of the game and use its own files to create your own world, im in love at this point, not because i was living a bad life but i found a way to express virtually not just on a 2d surface. I not only got into "Garrys mod" but i also changed things like skins in the actual games "skins are a characters actual art aside from how it was shaped, im saying color of things:clothes, skin tones, hair etc" When i switched her original skin for one such as a naked one which would literaly make her naked i proceeded to do this with a couple of games "not just nudity tho, but i admit mostly" lol. Then crysis came out! Sandbox for the cryengine was my thing, but considering i still dont have a system powerfull enough to create multiple process ive held off on it a but, yet i did add texture mods of high quality and including in crysis 2 installing dx11 settings which didnt come out till after its release! i made games look how i wanted to make em look! well with whatever mods i could find online, and i did get a little into programs like Maya, or before that Rhino 3d, mudbox bla bla bla..hard shit to learn and im still far from knowing how to create my own personal mods. In Unreal tournament 3 i didnt just kill the pc that was tryna kill me, i killed "Peanut butter jellie guys" lol epic to me i mean whats a game if it isnt fun right, and also graphical challenging as well as easy. theres plenty more i can jump into but i think ill let you guys ask me anything im open to help anyone look for what ive always been looking for, and its......just write to me already! lol
