I've seen this topic on 3 or 4 different sites today and when I think about this, it really ticks me off.
There is nothing I'd like to do more than buy a couple of good games, but half the games out there suck and the other half are same sh*t, different day.
It's almost like once they invented 3D graphics engines, the only thing they make are boring new FPS games of some sort that are boring, linear and you get tired of them very quickly. Other than that, you have the generic "racing" games and various real-time strategy games that really, at least to me, aren't that interesting.
6 or 7 years ago, they actually made different kinds of games and now everything is mostly advancing the appearance of what otherwise are the same games over and over and over.
I've not seen a truly new game since Half-Life and it's pretty frustrating to me.
It seems like every game is either of the Enemy Territory/Counter Strike variety, the FPS adventure type (Prey, Fear, etc.) or some other type of rehash (Doom 3/Half-Life 2).
