It's amazing how uncaring I am towards e3 and video games these days. Maybe it's my tastes moving elsewhere, but I was not impressed at all by this year's e3. It seems like every year I care less and less for the concepts... Another Gears of War, another Halo, another Metal Gear Solid, another ladeefreakingdah. There's very little in the video game realm to keep me engaged.
Even Square, who I once loved, has become a massive disappointment on so many levels. I honestly couldn't tell you the last Squareenix game that really excited me. FFXII was the last decent game they've done, and that was six years ago. FFversusXIII could be interesting, but 5-6 years in development is simply too long. I'll care about it if/when it finally gets released.
Honestly, the last game that has intrigued me was Xenoblade Chronicles. I've been playing it for 25 hours and I've had it since the day it came out. That's how little I play video games these days! Between that and Skyrim, there's been little in the video game world to keep me caring.
The innovation is gone. Now it's all bells and whistles (graphics) and there's very little charm. The charm that's left is primarily relegated to the indie game market. Alas!
