6: Thats Too Kiddy
Without doubt gaming has definitely followed in more adult oriented footsteps but theres nothing more depressing than seeing some teenager desperate to look like a badass by bashing Mario or Sly Cooper or more family friendly games. You dont see anyone too tough to watch Pixar movies. Unfortunately, the gaming industry isnt quite at that maturity level yet, resulting in anything without guns and gore collecting dust on shelves. Please, for the love of God people, quit the macho act because nobody other than your closed minded self actually gives a s***. By ignoring everything under the sun but formulaic shooters you are over-saturating the market, which subsequently hurts creativity. Try new things regardless of how they look because you will never know if the actual game is entertaining until you give it a shot.
