EA says: games industry is boring people to death

I haven't seen anything that would wow the pants off me from EA since the Sims... Fallout Wowed the pants, my boxers, my shoes, and my socks off of me. I want to experience that again.

Disney is changing now but too little too late when they canceled Sabrina the teenaged witch over a magazine spread they lost all my respect. I didn't like the show but I still thought it was a stupid candy assed reason to cancel the show. Also there is no longer anyone related to Walt Disney running Disney anymore (they ousted the last one) so even more respect down the toilet.
 
How lucky we are that he came to insight in this matter already...

I could have told him this like 5-6 years ago :roll:

"We're boring people to death and making games that are harder and harder to play," Mr. Riccitiello said in an interview.

Im not sure what he mean with this statement.

To me it sound like he think games is getting more difficult to understand etc. But he cant mean that can he?

That would really prove that the ones who is really in charge, don't know squat about gaming except how to sell many of them.

Fallout got you in the nude? Awesome, I'm not the only one.
 
John Riccitiello, the recently (as of April) reinstated chief executive of EA, sat down and told them that the games industry is "boring people to death and making games that are harder and harder to play."

Riccitiello worries that the industry as a whole, including EA Games, creates too many games that lack innovation. He also urges publishers to experiment by looking beyond the typical $50-60 disc with 40-plus hours of play that "few players will ever finish."

----- They're admitting that the gaming crowd is becoming more mentally retarded by the day?

Astonishing. :|
 
I'm going to guess that he's right, if you're considering how large the gaming population is right now. I mean, we have very old people playing Wii games now, frat boys playing 360s, these people are not smart or even lucid.
 
How about we stop derailing the topic so quickly? It was about games like 1 and 1/2 pages in and all of a sudden it's a discussion about college / frat boys. :|

As for the old people playing Wii, they're not retarded - they are just old. Making games for the elderly is actually an entirely different section on it's own. They don't write those 30s trivia books just for fun..

Fucking ridiculous. There are already enough mind-numbing games out there. I want a game created by smart, witty people, not just good artists.

I think this is why we are all proud members of the fallout community. The reason they spent more money on graphics then on witty dialog is because people have to constantly upgrade their hardware and that brings in more money into the market but eventually the market well be so dead that they would have to make drastic changes to put it back into equilibrium, imagine Tim Burton, Kevin Smith or Quentin Tarantino started actively writing dialog for a game. The last game I played that made me say wow was Red Steel for the Wii.

If Quentin Tarantino wrote dialog for a game, we'd get a F-bomb every 4 words. I would therefore love the game for the blatant misuse of the word "Fuck" and the ability to shoot adrenaline into the heart of some bitch who snorted heroin.
Yes, the game would be called Pulp Fiction: Don't Fuck with Katanas.
 
If someone finds games too hard to play out of the box, how about instead of compensating for their laziness in learning to play, we put an IQ test on the installers then have it tell them to piss off and watch TV instead if they fail?

People get offended easily, and are very loud and obnoxious when stupid as well.

Just look at the "Museum of Creation".

I just have. And my opinion of some people has just fallen so far it may have gone all the way to minus infinity and come round the other side
 
All I can say is, I hope Need for Speed ProStreet is awesome, because if it sells well, I might see a sequel to the best game in the series, Porsche Unleashed. :)
