Notice it's pointed towards gamespot and their reviewing process, so why would it be in the general games discussion unless I was solely discussing the over all review of just GTA.I'm sorry but the e-hate is only going to come from a different board. Please take your complaints about a video game website's ratings to the general games discussion.

if you enjoy the simplicity of repetition after the intentional excitement is already gone , sometimes repetition is a sign dependency , are you co-dependent? hahaMaybe because the games are that good.

play a RPG, or don't buy games called "deadspace" if you think it's going to be about a romantic novelty.I know not all high rated games released recently are like that but I'm noticing some sort of trend in games. Take for instance, deadspace, fallout and crysis. They all contain so much violence and most of the times it's just mindless killing without much substance.
Not only that but there's also the depressive background of those games. It's always a lonely person walking around in a hopeless and empty world trying to survive or kill. In fallout, you walk around in a depressive world in ruins shooting people and zombies and exploding their heads.
In Crysis you're kinda all alone in an island full of enemies and you just run around mindlessly shooting koreans and monsters.
And deadspace...lol...the name speaks for itself.
And the list goes on and on.
But my biggest beef with all these games is that there's too much unnecessary violence without substance. What happened to the games that used to touch the deepest part of ourselves, that used to enlighten our minds in the most uplifting ways and teach us how to be a little better as a human being? Doesnt the world have too much violence and depression already? Isn't the point of gaming as a hobby to have our little entertaining escape from this world? If there's so much violence and sadness in games how are we escaping from the world?
I don't mind a little violence in games as long as the violence isn't just for the sake of violence, but due to something much more meaningful and edifying...
Sorry for the rant...Im just a little frustrated and sad for personal reasons right now. Thanks for reading.
I hope nobody replies with: "just don't play the game" or "don't game go read books" (i do that already) or "be quiet sissy" or "you don't like it but we like it".
I'm sure a lot of girls are of this same opinion. Maybe if game developers took these complaints to heart and adapt as needed, more girls would be willing to play their games?
