10 Video Game Things They KEEP GETTING WRONG
2. Lack Of Innovation
You ever have those moments where you wish you could go back in time with your memory erased and experience a game all over again?
We were like that with Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Not because it's a fantastic game (it is, but that's another point), but because it was so innovative, and so different from everything else out there.
It was a bold new direction not only for the Zelda series, but games as a whole. It shoved you into an open world with minimal guidance, simply allowing you to explore the game using a revolutionary set of physics and elemental interactions.
Moments like this in the gaming industry seem very few and far between. We live in an era of remakes, remasters and cookie-cutter carbon copies of other games that are serviceable, but really don't push the envelope. Just look at every last thing Ubisoft is putting out.
Not every game can cause a revolution, but sometimes with AAA gaming, it feels like you've seen it all before.
Thankfully the indie scene is stepping up with innovative new games. Unfortunately for most of these games they'll sell nowhere near any bigger title's worth of skins and microtransactions, and that just doesn't seem right.
