You think a 50-cent game is bad enough? Take a look at some comments from a game developer at GDC:
Greg Costikyan
In the most heated and applauded rant, Greg Costikyan discussed creative stagnation. Costikyan was originally a developer of paper based games and is also the co-founder of Unplugged Games which publishes mobile games. In his talk he stated that he has researched the cycle of popular games since the earliest table top games were developed decades ago. He stated that the Microsoft keynote address "made his flesh crawl" and that the age of innovation in the video game industry is over. Higher developmental costs and larger teams will mean that publishers will be less willing to take risks which in turn will stifle creativity and lead to more homogenous gaming experiences.
Costikyan went on to include Nintendo in his rant saying that the company could have shipped development kits to thousands of eager third parties to work on their next generation of titles but instead chose to rely on the ideas of a single aging game designer. He said Nintendo president Satoru Iwata "has the heart of a true gamer, and I wonder what poor bastard's chest he carved it from". He remarked that if the industry's current idea of innovation is "blowing into a microphone," then future of gaming will most definitely consist of endless Grand Theft Auto clones.
I was heavily dissapointed after reading this. I was worried about production costs for future games, and about next-gen titles being more about graphics than gameplay, but these are things I hadn't really thought of, and they make a lot of sense...

Yeah that is pretty bad, and true. I am assuming their will still be a few risk takers, but it may be few and far between. I may love the GTA series, but I hate all the clones. I only like it. That is really true though. Maybe Hollywood has done the same thing. They are scared to sink too much money into something that could potentially flop, so instead they release the same fucking stupid movies over and over again, that the masses of America seem to want to see again and again.
Oh lord this is just to much!!
And Grahf DMC2 was bad for a DMC game but its a lot better than most games in the genre. I have seen a lot of DMC clones that suck more.
I hate GTA and games like it nowdayas.
I liked GTA3 but Vice,San Andreas just suck they dont have the story or the gameplay that GTA3 had.

When i say story i meant the story when you worked for diffrent maffias in GTA3 that was cool,Vice and SA just isnt as cool.
