There isn't a single game that I get excited for any more because pretty much everything is garbage

Anything I'm "excited" for is pretty much exactly what I expect it to be

Last year all I bought was GTA5 and The Witcher 3 and Legacy of the Void. GTA5 and Witcher 3 are overproduced shit with zero redeeming gameplay. Legacy of the Void was exactly what I expected it to be.

Even VR isn't impressive to me. I bought a Vive and it's been on my desk for the past 3 days doing nothing. There's nothing "clever" about VR, it's all mechanics based on being a human.

THANK you. I recently used a Rift for the first time and was thoroughly frustrated and underwhelmed. Granted, it was a DK1, but that's the same unit everyone else used for the first time a year or so ago, when they were BLOWN AWAY BY THE NEW FUTURE OF VIDEO GAMES OH MY GOD.

Those fucking devices are going to prompt a wave of buyer's regret so swift, massive and synchronized that it'll coalesce into a new Chaos god, Oculum, the god of hindsight, who will consume our entire species in its birth-feast and then immediately realize it should've gotten a to-go box for those last three bites.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
>produced by a studio that while brand new was owned by someone truly passionate about games
>director was heavily involved in morrowind
>art and art direction by an acclaimed artist

It seemed like the perfect mixture. Too bad R.A. Salvatore was only involved in a little world building, Todd McFarlane just did some little commissioned work, and Curt ran the company into the ground.

>>335970025
The way I initially understood things was KoA: Reckoning was a dedicated single player game to introduce everyone to the game world prior to the MMO hitting.

Thanks to the retard athlete they had to shit a game out to not lose all their money and so they took assets used on the mmo and made Reckoning.

It wasn't a terrible game but I had way higher hopes for it. It had elements I really liked but the typical MMO fetch quests and the half assed plot really dragged it down. Everything felt like it just wasn't quite finished.

Sonic 4. Looking back, I feel retarded for believing Sega's lies, but some of that PR shit they spewed at first was really convincing that they "got" it.
