Just more people equating big budget and shiny graphics with "advancing the genre" and reviving a "dead genre." Sorry, it just doesn't compute to many of us.

See, I find all Bioware games repetitive, and all single player FPSs a joke... They aren't advances in anything.. just repetition of a formula.

Rpgs haven't changed since BG2. FPSs haven't changed since HL2. Better graphics, same formula. People like it because they require little thought. Adventure games will never catch on again because they require thought and society doesn't like to think. PERIOD.

I just named 40 great games and they were dismissed like they meant nothing... I can't debate anything with people like that.

Just because YOU want big budget doesn't mean a genre with 10+ great gamesa year is "dead."

And Dark Fall, Lost Crown, Diamonds in the Rough, and Barrow Hill can absolutely compete with bigger named and budgeted games.
