I'm currently addicted to Resident Evil 4 HD and playing it has got me thinking, how can such an old game(a classic fair enough) grab my attention so much, and how come it's turning out to be one of the best games I've played this year.
Another thread I suggested Evil Within was a classic, but I don't think that anymore, in fact the last game to grab my attention like Resi 4 is was The Last of Us.
I really think the games industry needs a shaking down, and games that are actually worth 20-40 quid are as rare as Dracula's steaks...
I wonder if I'm the only one that thinks this?
I have over 200 Steam games, as well as a PS4 and Wii U and mediocrity is a major problem on those platforms too. I'll be lucky if I finish 5% of my steam games to be honest.
The amount of times I've tried to get into a so called great game, take Alien Isolation for example or the not highly rated but very high budget and advertising campaign that was Watchdogs as examples.
I'm either getting old or games just haven't moved on in the most important category, which is gameplay.
