7th generation things that need to change

Okay as this is a great generation of gaming there are many major problems that need to change, for the better, overall and for each system. Game developers need to take note because these are very major problems that just make you say, WHAT THE EFF?

1. Rubber-band AI- Yeah as tech advances and we try to make foes smarter there is no need to make it so it becomes so downright cheap. Game developers think they make it challenging, it is not challenging if it is total randomness, out of your control, and the same rules do not apply to them as they do to you.

Examples: Mario Kart wii, the AI is not challenging if they constantly purposly ram you into objects, use POW blocks, and just keep hammering you with blue shells, not to mention no matter how far ahead you are they somehow get a boost without mushrooms or drifts. Other games like RTS have the same problem if it is a match where you can be anyone, the fog of war will not effect them. This really needs to stop, make it harder but not impossible and downright frustating.

2. All that glitters is not perfect- Graphics are wonderful but that saying beauty is only skin deep is very true in this gen with the wii and DS. Game developers working only on non-nintendo platforms just for graphics need to listen up, more platforms=more money and that is the purpose of their business, turning away a console just for its crowd is pathetic.

Example: Epic games never making a game for nintendo. Just because of their view it is not a reason more like a jealous exsuse because Nintendo has done so well. Hey just because you guys get a very nice game once in a while is no reason to be pissed off. Developers like EA, Capcom, Konami, etc have done well by giving the wii a chance to make some unqiue games.

3. Stop flooding the market with the same kind of fucking game! (This already includes stupid sports titles of the same kind every year)

Developers really need to listen up for this one and stop making shitty copies of the same game. For the wii, all those retard developers need to stop making mini-game collections for the wii and start making unqiue games like high voltage software’s the conduit, No More Heroes was a great example and many third parties need to get up to gear with this. The 360 Enough Shooters! There are so frikken many that what is it that makes yours any different from Halo or COD4!? Shadow Runner was a failure along with Turning Point Fall of Liberity. Graphics mean crap if there is no selling point for the games! Tourok was decent but there is so much out there that needs to change. enough shooters try somthing else like a platformer like BK3.

4. The most anticpated games fall short in key areas.

Games like: Halo 3, SSBB, and GTA4.

Halo 3 good game and all but the story was way shorter than the 1st 2 games and it became a stupid love story between the Chief and Cortana. Not to mention what could make for a nice continuation they killed off many supporting characters like Johnson. All I can say to the story was WTF?

SSBB: Fell short of expected characters. Many were hoping for about 40 at least 50 at max but we only received a 37 and only 2 were guest characters. With all this time they could have done better on the roster.

GTA4: Where do I start? Well many weapons were left out. Only 2 kinds of each weapon accept RPGs. Many features like buying new homes has been left out. Online matches can take forever rather than the few minutes like people want them to. The targeting system is still clunky at close range and the cover controls need improvement, it can be easy to get confused with shooting from cover and blind firing.

wow dude dont make comments about a game you never played like gta4

I have GTA4 you retard, I have played it and I would say it is far from perfect, there are flaws. Only thing I do for GTA4 online is free roam with friends. I hated having to chase 1 person around the whole city just for 1 stinking kill.

Ok cool but how can the aiming be trouble at close range unless you suck>?

No the aiming stinks at close range because it is not always responding and it can get clunky.

How can it get clunky? There is no auto aim for you so it is all on your end...

1: Epic isn’t jealous, they just think online, visuals, performance, and fun is to be had on PS3 and Xbox 360. DEVELOPERS ARE NOT FANBOYS, THEY DO WHAT THEY THINK WILL SELL THE GAME! Also, why do Wii fanboys always complain gears and Unreal tournament suck and then demand it goes to the wii?

2: Shooters themselves aren’t bad, and there are plenty other games that fit into other genres. (Mass Effect, Oblivion, Guitar Hero, and WAY more). Maybe you mean to say less bad shooters.

3: Super smash bros is NOTHING compared to the anticipation for Halo 3 and GTA 4. halo 3 made 170 million in it’s first day, and GTA 4 made a whopping >300 million. Super smash bros never even came close.

I know, $$$

Help me raise my Habamon!

Squip, SSBB had a stinking Midnight launch, that not enough Hype for you? Or is it just because you favor the 360? It was still a very anticpated game for the wii. The money in this case does not matter but rather what the big games have shown. People had high hopes for all these games but there was a great deal of dissapointment in all of them:

Halo-epic story now turned into a fucking space romance.

SSBB- Lacked the bigger roster we all wanted

GTA4- Past GTA injected with steriods so most of the good stuff was taken out. (The total stats thing was one of the only good things to go)

Only recent big titles I can think that did not have lacking points were Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy- Both had great gameplay, and COD4- only problem was the matchmaking system everything else was fine.

What the fuck? halo wasn’t a romance! Plus, many games have midnight launches, like some infamous ones like stranger’s wrath.

I agree whole-heartedly with inferno on this one... so much so that I have sold my GTA4 to my brother and am making a profit from it.
the controls in GTA4 are shit the online is boring and horribly set up, the lack of weapons and other items is a disappointment and don’t even get me started on the worst driving controls of any game ever! Don’t come at me with your nonsensical jabbering about how great a game it is... my opinion is that the game isn’t worth pissing on when you break it down to it’s most base level.
While all of you may enjoy it the nostalgia of the game wore off after day one of owning it. I’m not asking anyone to agree with me on this I just wanted to make this statement.

COD4, H3, SMG, GTA4, and GoW had midnight launches too. Just saying...

There was one on G4tv.

Amen to all 4 of those. A.I issues are a huge problems cause man thinks they can create something as smart and talented as a human. To make up for it they give them cheap advantages rather than making them smarter. Developer laziness.

Secondly graphics are only skin deep. But you see it both ways as well. From the graphics don’t matter perspective and the graphics only matter side. For the first side you see devs saying only the gameplay matters, when in turn you get a shitty looking game. Whereas on the other side of things you get a game that looks nice but has no substance to it, aka Gears of War, and most other shooters. What you need are games like Super Mario Galaxy, Resident Evil 4, and Okami. All games have used some innovative gameplay form while also making large advancements in the graphics department. This is why these games are remembered as some of the greatest games ever made and all those shooters will be forgotten.

Thirdly oversaturating the market is not only annoying but also dangerous. Remember the American video game market crash of 1983. This was caused by early developers releasing too many games that were the exact same in gameplay, looks, and genre. Yes oversaturating a market with your shitty shooters can destroy a market over time. It’s not somethign that might happen, its something that will happen. How was gaming revived in America? By releasing innovative and new games that stretched the boundaries of how games looked, played, and were progressed. Such titles as Metroid, Mario, Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, ect.

And fourthly yes overhyped games are definetly an issue but it’s not necessarily something you can stop. What you simply need is smarter reviewers, which unfortuantely will never happen.

And Squip, SSBB was just as hyped as Halo 3 and GTA IV. It did 3.0 million in America in its first month. About 1.7 million of that in its first week. Nothing compared to 2.8 million first week for Halo 3, but it’s definetly an extremely hyped game. Halo 3, your right, along with GTA IV are a lot more OVERHYPED in every aspect.
