Do gamers expect a master piece everytime?

[elmuzzy66.]

Reading through the threads and some of the hate dished out to devs and publishers is unreal. Have we gamers become to demanding or have we just become too unreasonable in demands?
I don't see people in the film section dishing out hate to warner brother or directors. I mean if its a bad movie we watching once and thats it but gamers play a game don,t like it but then plough another 50 hours into it.

Any examples?

Cod, bf3 sim city and any game that gets a lot off press.

no 30 years of buying software , no we don't expect a master piece

BUT we don't expect a turd either

Define a turd?

I think major problems occur when publishers/developers take a well known and loved franchise and churn out a crappy generic game with that name on it in order to cash in.

If they stuck to making crappy generic games without ruining existing franchises then people would just call it a bad game and move on.

Cashing in on franchises is not something exclusive to vidoe games.

I didn't say it was, but this is the PC Games forum is it not, and the thread is about what gamers expect?

Consoles and pc gamers sry for not clearing that up.

snip.

Xbox live was the problem not the console. That introduced paying extra for simple online multiplayer.
