I knew it from the start that cart trips would work like this. It's so Bethesda
meh, its a problem were starting to expect this from them.
such potential in the levels of awesomeness reached in each successive game they released across various series years ago.
now we seem to have hit a plane(plain?) of mediocrity, and have seen little improvement across titles, just tired old ideas implemented with MOAR GRAFIKS!!!
seriously though, the advancement of graphics cards has crippled the gaming industry more than its helped, either that or they are just fucking lazy and do whatever it takes to make money.
since your average idiot CoD/Halo/Skyrim player is content to buy whatever simply because everyone else is(most people i have met who own skyrim have never played an earlier game in the series, im led to believe this is the primary factor in the excitement about how awesome skyrim is.), then mindlessly stare at a TV for 4 days doing the same thing on repeat, we won't be seeing any change as long as these zombies are the primary part of the gaming community.
unless discerning players who want a GAME! not a interactive movie, become the greater group, mainstream games are gonna go downhill fast.
EDIT: a ridiculously minor spelling correction.
