Games are getting better and better and more original all the time but still developers are producing a load of rubbish, why?
I'm aware that bad games are being release because they are going wrong so they release it quickly in order to make sure they don't lose anymore money but developers shouldn't get into the situation that there games are bad. If they are making bad games they shouldn't be in the industry. We only expect the best but what i am worried about is the casual gamer who doesn't read reaviews etc...
These gamers might like the look of Superman but we know full well it is (what I want to say I can't cause it is too rude)rubbish. But they go and buy it and the developer ha just successfully ripped someone off.
I can't believe this far down the track games are still getting 8% it is ridiculous. It is time for change because we only want the best so it is what we should get.
Here's to the future

Ant although i'm not going to diss the PS but there is a lot more bad ones on the PS why?
Because Nintendo is a lot more strict!!
Only few bad games get by them...
the designers take 2 said that "making a game for Nintendo is a lot harder as they only except the best and their own standards to compete with is an almost impossible task!"

I know i may well get shouted at for qriting this, but bear with me til i've finished.
Non-original games dont have to be bad games.
Original games can be bad games.
What makes a good game, for me anyway, is that it has to be fun to play.
Whether the game is original or not is, to some extent, by the wayside. Look at MSR, Shenmue, Virtua Tennis, GT2 Goldeneye etc. They are all great games. They are all fun to play.
But are they original?
Not really. Driving games have been done before, RPG's have been done before, FPS have bee... etc etc.
BUT, what these games all do, is to add to the gameplay, that is what makes them so good.

LOL!! I take it NOM made those reviews.
So, the N64 didn't have many poor games, did it?? Clayfighter?? Superman??
And what are these awful PSX games that you are talking about. Since there are 'so many' of them, why don't you name them??
Although, all you'll do is list a load of FIFAs. Look,if bad games are being made, ignore them!!
There are more than enough good PSX games, so just ignore the bad ones!!

I know it is an obvious title I quite simply hate bad games I may ignore them but I hate them. Why are we getting them? Whay do Devlepors like ripping us off?
