While i do somewhat dissagre with this video i do agree with MatPat and his points. I do think lack of Innovation is killing gaming but i do think there is a shiny glimer of hope when it comes to Indie games

Yeah, gamers are hypocritical scum.
Also haha, let's not pretend that Resident Evil 4 was a survival horror game.
In addition, the likelihood of a second crash is unlikely. We aren't getting broken, unplayable products. Yes, Battlefield 4 was glitchy at launch and Diablo III and SimCity had a variety of problems but they weren't say, Ride to Hell. The market in 1983 collapsed because there was little-to-no regulation. It was a totally free market whose existence couldn't be justified. If anything will happen, companies like Konami, EA and Capcom will bite the bullet but that's about it. And those companies are going to collapse because the mobile market will implode in the next 5 years.

I think gamers need to stop buying "safe" games. Games like dark souls are the way forward- Not prepare to die difficulty, but games which give the baisics to help the new players in the series, whilst having extra levels of details for more experienced players. Miyuzaki himself once commented that he felt that "Games need to be more like games, and less like movies".
Obviously putting him at odds with David Cage, which is a battle i would most definitely want to see.
Did i go off topic here?

As much as I appreciate The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite for their story, as games they didn't exactly bring a whole lot new to the table (in fact Infinite's gameplay does feel slightly dumbed down in parts from the first game, for example I still can't get past the whole can only carry two weapons at a time thing). Still people seem to forget that these are video games that need to be treated as such. If you are going to use the same formula, why not add some twist to it that make people think about playing it differently from other games that would be similar? Playing it safe can only get you so far.

It is like movies. We can't have only Citizen Kanes, 2001 A Space Odysseys, and Godfathers sometimes we need movies like Die Hard that are not really intellectual ground breaking films, but it fun to watch. For a medium to grow it needs diversity.

For a medium to grow it needs diversity. That's the problem..recently in the AAA market their hasn't been a lot of diversity

I agree partly with Mat. Because it is true that we, the gamers, burn games which doesn't have diversity while still having a great chart of sales (looking at that stupid, terrible, horrible forsaken Fifa franchise). But these gamers are a stereotype. I'm looking for something creative too, but that doesn't mean I won't give these games a chance. I only give opinion after I played the game, and not just from watching trailers or reviews.
I'm hanging more towards the Retro side now though, but that doesn't mean I don't play the games from this generation :3

Too much of the same thing isn't good. Military themed FPS games come to mind. Zombie killing games. What else is a bit too common?

Well then, it seems I'm one of the most hipster gamers ever... I never got into the sequel/Cod wagon. I love every single one of those "underrated" games, and I never played COD, and neither has a couple of my friends. But in all seriousness, I swear to god, people really DO need to try new things, or games will be stuck in 1 giant loop forever and die off, unless Nintendo does it again and fix the gaming industry in 1 fell swoop... again.
