Things About Gaming Or Games You've Come To Accept

I love gaming but theres just so many things that i've come just to accept about it..even if i dont want to.

• There will never be another Soul Reaver game. The series is dead and any attempt to remake the games will go horribly.
• The days of isometric sprawling RPGs are long gone.
• JRPGs have stagnated and theres no sign of changing
• Kid who plays games saves his family from a house fire - Unrelated to games. Kid who plays games attacks another child in anger - ITS THAT DAMN MODERN DUTY'S FAULT.
• Gaming journalism is years behind being good. Every site will just copy / paste a press release.
• Game ratings exist from 7 -10 on most sites.
• Nintendo doesnt make games for me anymore (im just not the target audience anymore)
• People will push that 'gaming is a mature hobby enjoyed by a wide variety of people spanning young and old' but still crack a fuss if content is 'too mature'
• Theres always going to be at least one person that makes you embarrassed to admit you play games in public because of how ludicrous he acts and claims lines like 'us gamers'.

• Multiplayer games released on consoles have a life-span of about two weeks if their name is not Call of Duty or Halo. Really depressing. (mnzy)
  
• DLC and other payed content will become more and more frustrating since nobody seems to mind it and buys 5 maps für 16$ (mnzy)
•  Call of Duty is now only marketed at, bought and played by chavs, bros and twats... which is a shame considered CoD 1 and 2 were brilliant.  (Gap)
  
• People will keep saying "JRPGs are stagnated" when they have little experience with the genre. ( extremeradical)
  
• Escort missons (extremeradical)
  
• Jay-Z is part of a larger Masonic conspiracy involving triangles. Obviously (extremeradical)
•  Single player campaign lengths are becoming smaller due to DLC and more focus on Multiplayer (wwfundertaker)

Earthbound won't come to Virtual Console   :(
Anything Mother related and the United States really.
Lawrence Holland probably won't make another Star Wars space sim .

-3D is going to happen to console games, and it's going to suck. 
-Not a single one of Nintendo's announcements at E3 2010 is going to be as good as it could have been.

• Regenerating health
• Beyond Good & Evil 2 will probably never be made

-Pokemon Games will continue to be "kiddy" yet highly entertaining to people that give them a chance 
-Activision will anualize every ounce of all of their games to maximize profit 
-Gaming will always be art!

People will always throw their money away by doing business with Gamestop.
Society is willing to except a level where the player guns down civilians in an airport, but thinks seeing a side boob in a cutscene is horrific.
Motion controls are here to stay (fuck)

• Final Fantasy as we knew and loved it is dead.
• People who played Final Fantasy VIII before playing VII think it's the superior game, and vice versa, but to be perfectly honest they're both bursting with cheesy writing and crazy mechanics.
• Even if 12 million people pay $15 a month for a game, all of those people are weird shut-ins with no souls.
• Anyone who is 10 levels higher than you in your favorite modern shooter has no life.
• The more advanced the game, the more patches it needs.
• People who play games can be scary, angry people when masked by Internet anonymity.

150 single player hours of Fallout: New Vegas and still going. There are other games genres, you know! "

After Valves source engine has run its course, I've accepted the fact that FPS games will all require you to aim down the sights for maximum accuracy.   
 
I really hate this gameplay mechanic but its just an evolution of the FPS that I'm going to have to accept.

I've given up with any hope of adding all of these to one list. It would simply require WAY too much time and effort on my part...i'm just one man!
 
From what i've viewed i can pretty much get behind most things said. Its amazing how...terrible gaming is in some aspects. But this should not be taken lightly however ive come to accept that despite all these problems, if anything was to go south (gaming appeal to the mass market, review scores)...pirates would be to blame, and not the fault of developers.

People who play them online will find any and every method of making the game not fun for you.

Many developers lack the creativity to create a protagonist that isn't a 20-30 something year old white male.

Call of Duty sells more than Okami.

The Aliens Vs Predator franchise is dead.

They will make Dragon Ball games until the end of days. 
There will never be another game in the Freelancer Universe. 
Nolan North is everyone. 
Gordan Freeman will never speak. 
Cpt. Price is immortal. 

"There will never be another Soul Reaver game. The series is dead and any attempt to remake the games will go horribly. "

There is low to no penalty for dying, otherwise the game is considered to be ultra-hardcore.
 
Not saying I'd like to go back to the NES days where you had to start over from the beginning after using that last life.

• Leaderboards will never matter like in arcades (to many hackers/cheaters)

I've come to accept that there's only around 10 games per year (bit high actually) that are worth full price and give a great experience.
It used to be so many more, I got 40 gamecube games and barely 15 xbox360 games, too much focus on the bleeding multiplayer!

• I am completely comfortable watching live professional tournements of a videogame that, 6 months ago, I didn't know existed.

gaming is an expensive hobby

Did I say dead? No. I said dying. Kinda ironic you would mention Fallout seeing how that game is pretty much devoid of life.

This is the worst.  I hate how true this sentence is. 

"-The Assassin's Creed series is doomed to fail now that every major member of the storytelling staff is leaving Ubisoft Montreal."

@extremeradical: I'm happy to explain my self about JRPGs. I just want something more like earthbound and chronotrigger. Taking the genre in different direcitons and not just accepting random encounters and turn based combat. I understand theres ALWAYS going to be games that want to change it, but its like saying 'well that part of the ship isnt sinking' to justify the titanic. "

That gaming will never be as good as  what I grew up with.

The PS2 won't be supported in 10 years 
  
The PC always gets the shaft in multiplat releases

 -Duke Nukem Forever, even if it comes out, is going to suck. 
-There will never be a Half-Life 2: Episode 3. We will just get Half-Life 3.
 -Direct downloads will destroy brick-and-mortar game stores, and my love for physical media is going to have to end. As a result, I will buy less games due to the lack of resale value. "

" That gaming will never be as good as  what I grew up with. "

No matter how they dress it up, all FPS game are just shooting guys in the head. Until something is done about that, video games will feel stagnant to me. Same with everyone demanding all games be fun and this devoid of anything potentially interesting.
