So let me give a little background:

I picked up Titanfall the other day, and it's a fun little shootey game. Before everyone goes nuts, I'm not a bro-gamer who obsesses over COD and such, I just wanted a change of pace.

I'm a PC gamer by heart, but I picked this up for my Xbox 360. I keep feeling like it wasn't worth $60.

And this seems to be the case recently: Titanfall, Ground Zeroes, etc. There seems to be a plethora of AAA games that are focused on graphical capabilities, and thus are lacking more substantive gameplay. So I submit this:

The next-generation consoles, which are now driving game companies to inefficiently and expensively produce games with higher graphical qualities (just look at how much Destiny is rumored to cost), are both causing games to be made with less content due to budget and hurting AAA game designers.


PS. I admit this has been a trend even before next-gen. RIP Irrational.
