I cant say that I am or was an intense gamer, but I have had my fair share of the classics 90->.
Its not that games are shit in themselves, the concept could be great and the graphics would be amazing...
But the writing is horrendous...
And level design is really bad...
And programmers are getting LAZY!
As an aspiring concept artist, I want to be able to have some say in what goes into these terrible games.
That is all. A little mini rant.
You ought to further elaborate on your points and provide certain examples.
