SH => SH5 How did we come into this?

Note the sarcasm in the previous post. I still play SH1, and I really miss the days when a game manual was big enough to clobber someone with.

It seems that game makers these days think that flashy graphics are the only thing we want. I like graphics, but I much prefer gameplay.

Sorry, got you wrong. (Maybe because I'm not a native speaker, or because I have been hanging around here too long... )

many researches discovered, that good gameplay makes a game nice to play. and to play it again and again - this is no secret.

but todays games are not produced for "re-play". they are like burgers...taste nice for the moment, but you will be hungry shortly after the meal. and this is a system. cause only games, which are not worth to play them again, cause people to buy new games.



and eyecandy helps to sell games. most people are not that minded, like many here in this forum. most of the gamers become more and more "casual gamers", which are like addicted nerds, who just see a nice packshot, trailers, screenshots and need to buy this crap. but after some hours of playing, even they recognize the less nutritive game content -> and head out to buy a new game.

its a willed and planned system, guys.
