This. There's been flashes of it, but if games continue to be at the level they are 10, 20, or even 30 years from now then yeah, I could see myself growing out of them. However, as long as games like those by Team ICO keep getting made, I'll always be playing somewhat, I'm sure. "
Team ICO is a beacon of hope in a sea of mediocrity, mindless shooters and showelware.
I absolutely love videogames, and I think that if a game tells its story correctly, it can be absolutely fantastic and completely different from any other type of media (ala Team ICO's games). But I hate how games deal with things like death. Take Uncharted 2 as an example; It's a game that is praised for its likeable and funny characters, but I hate Nathan Drake. And I think he is pretty insane considering how many people he kills and how he is just able to laugh it off. A lot of independent developers seem to understand this, and a few larger teams (again, Team ICO) as well.
Also, I really dislike how a 7 hour game is considered "short". Of course this has something to with the amount of cash you paid for it, since 60$ for only a couple of hours is of course very expensive. I want games to be shorter; 2-4 hours of gameplay. This will...---
" I am a big folk guy. I like contemporary folk though. I don't see how the Tetris theme song fits in there.
I think more along the lines of this when I think folk.

YES! Kings of Convenience are fantastic! They are actually from my home town. :D
But as for what my favorite genre of music is... I really don't have one favorite type of music. I listen to basically whatever I enjoy and what fits my mood.
