Lately, I have been noticing that games, famous franchises are tarnishing their own names through poor development choices. What's strikingly odd is that this problem seems wide spread in the AAA industry. Halo, Call of Duty, Star Wars Battlefront, Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Mafia, even Grand Theft Auto V (despite it's fantastic narrative), all have tremendous flaws that are not supposed to be common in such games that should be prided on being the best you can get.
To me, it seems that the most highest priority in development lately is making video games as pretty for E3 as possible rather than actually attempting to make a game with solid game play mechanics that are fun an innovative. However, there are some games that have met a maintained expectation that many AAA companies seem to really want to lower. Games like Overwatch, The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Battlefield 1, as well as other, more indie developer titles such as Hotline Miami 1 & 2 are all examples of great games as of late. However, I'd much like to hear what you guys think. What are your thoughts on the current video game industry?
