Solid Game-play Vs. Innovation

6
Are critics and gamers becoming increasingly jaded? It seems as if now days in order for a game to gain respect it must not only have solid game-play but be innovative as well. Gamers are no longer happy with a good game that plays well. These days a title must be the next big thing or it earns the stigma that the "been there, done that" crowd has bestowed upon it .

As someone who has played Dark Sector, I can tell you it was a damn solid game with amazing visuals. True that.

1.1 - Yeah Dark Sector was a decent game
but I just wish the main character moved less rigidly. Otherwise it's definitely worth picking up. You can snag a copy for less than $15 nowadays.

I enjoyed using the glaive the kill enemies.

If the game wasn't banned then later edited in Aus I would've got that game day one, but unfortunately I haven't touched it as I don't want a tainted version that takes several things out of a game, I would've imported but due to the shocking dollar and the fact that there were numerous titles out when DS came out it just never got to be.:(

As for the article I wholeheartedly agree, too many reviewers and sometimes gamers themselves get this whole notion that a game need to innovate to be great, it's simply not true, Killzone 2 was brilliant, it took all elements from previous great titles and turned it into one super great title, and the online is the icing on the cake(Not to mention worthy of an innovation note in itself).

2 - "Gamers are no longer happy with a good game that plays well"
umm, yes they are. uncharted won the hearts of many as did killzone2(despite what we are led to believe) but these games dont innovate. Gamers love games that play well and we all love games that innovate. Its only fanboys who slag others consoles that dont like games. They like sales. Boy are sales fun...

It released long after it was announced. It got hyped, then died down a bit, then hyped again. If it came out as a launch title or at least before Gears then it would of gotten amazing reviews. Same with Killzone 2. Killzone 2 didn't fail at all though. It is very underrated and more people should buy it.
