No More Games?

By Shawn Tesker


Playing games is pretty big for me. I consider myself a hardcore gamer owning all the three major consoles from Sony Microsoft and Sega. I enjoy playing all of them.

However, lately or more like for the past three years I feel like the gaming world is not moving at all. All we get are super hyped games that don't deliver.

For example, diablo 3, guild wars 2 and a few others I rather not name. I invested 60$ for each of these games, enjoyed it for a few hours or a couple of days, and then I was back to my normal routine leaving them to "gather dust" sort speak.

The game programmers are just out of ideas that's the way I feel although I should admit I'm not your average gamer, and I'm a pretty hardcore online player.

These few years in the gaming world every game just seems to promise the world and fail to deliver, it creates the feeling that's there's nothing new.

It's not just me. I know that I'm a pretty heavy gamer but there is just a lack of creativity that runs in the gaming world in this past few year.

Look at the gear, the computers the mouses the screens all got better, stronger, faster and with the ability to deliver us so much more a 20 mega and even 100 mega internet connections are now super cheap, I got my 100 mega broad-band connection for 10$ a month(that's like 2 cups of Joe) yet where is our game? sitting in the past, running on old engines and aged ideas failing or even unwilling to give us something better.

I can understand, maybe they're saying don't fix what is not broken it might be true in some cases, for example, the world of warcraft mists of pandaria. The world of warcraft is the largest online game in the world and yet it a drop lately although the new mists of pandaria blizzard expect a rise in subscribes.

If we can't get new game ideas how about some graphics or maybe some game engine, something that will space up the games for the more seasoned gamers.

Not all games are boring, for the past two years I enjoyed playing a game called the league of legends aldo it's somewhat a remake to a game called dota.

A super awesome idea is the secret world which is working on giving something new, and I personally believe it's great the moment, they will fix their clunky controls I will probably be back to that train.

When I was younger checking out games with friends was great, it was what we did all day long after school, but now I don't have the time for that I just want one or two games that can keep me busy for the next 2-3 months or more.

Blowing off steam online (and I don't mean the kinky option) is one of my favorite things to do on my spare time between work.

Please help me make this article a wake-up call to all the great companies, just twitt like and share it, and maybe we will get lucky, and they will hear us out.
