Watch me suddenly become everyone's enemy number one... ...the tendency to value multiplayer over single player...
Actually, I agree with you. It was never easy for me to play games on multiplayer before since my internet is slow a lot of times, so sometimes Id only be able to play on single player. I havent even been able to log in to PSN for the past couple of months, so Im forced to play single player.
I must say, playing Demons Souls without any online features sucks, though.

Game that isnt fun and interesting sucks shit.
If the game has fun and top-notch gameplay, even the lack in story can be forgiven.
If the game has top-notch story, characters, enviroment, atmosphere but lacks on gameplay, it's propably still pretty cool.
Hell I remember playing something like planescape torment and wtf the combat sucks balls yet it has best story any game has ever offered. also characters and rest of the shit are great.
And yes it was a great game.
If the game has well done "that" what is supposed to be main focus of game then its propably GREEAT.

Dante's Inferno. Nothing but a shit version of God of War.fag of a game. "Oh poet,(<-this poet character springing out of nowhere from the game is stupid enough) the bishop said he would pardon all the bad things we did during the holy crusade. so i grabbed the closest villager next to me, fucked him in his ass, and came all over his armpits. now, some shadowy dude took my wife. i need to go to hell"
stupid. dante's inferno wasn't about you fighting the way through hell for being a faggot.
its just some stupid 'cool' factor to have a reference to something ancient, like what god of war had towards greek mythology(character-wise).

Watch me suddenly become everyone's enemy number one...My most hated trend, or maybe second after the graphics over gameplay problem, is the tendency to value multiplayer over single player. I do not have a bunch of people ready to play with me at all times. In fact, most people I know don't even like the same games I like, or just don't have the money to buy everything. Usually I let this slide since I'm not really interested in most games that do this, anyway. But the next Pokemon Ranger game really managed to piss me off with this point again. I don't care too much about that line either, actually, just playing them to get the Pokemon you can transfer to other games, but one of these needing a multiplayer-only mission? I know exactly one other person with a DS, and that's my sister. And she does quite definitely not have the money for that, being a typical poor university student.
I am not alone!
I hate multiplayer. From the moment I started playing video games, I've played them alone, and I've always liked it that way. I don't like relying on other people to accomplish something.

Meh, I have mixed feelings about this one. Online is fucked up for me, but I enjoy the good old fashioned split screen. If I was more technologically up to date, I would be playing co-op with my nigga with headphone chat shit. Oh yea, I just love me some single player.

Oh snap, I just had this dejavu moment. I remembered the time I used to play Soul Calibur 3 with my friends during school lunches. It was so fucking awesome.

I'd go to my brothers place with like 5 people and pass controllers around for hours playing Soul Calibur. I think my record was going around the room 3 times before I gave it up to get something to drink. Good times. I didn't have a favorite character but I liked playing one of the girl twins or voldo. I really like the feel of Soul Calibur over other fighting games like Blazblue or Street Fighter.

RPGs that force you to protect useless and defenseless units= big fucking pain in the ass.
Games that don't have an optional tutorial and said tutorial is 6 hours long...and has 17 cutscenes...and is useless...
I find that multiplayer is usually a good thing. L4D is stale as hell if playing solo, the same going for Borderlands or SSBB. yeah...

Companies selling shit they know their fans are going to buy, but not putting enough effort into actually making it above avg. material.

Unskippable cutscenes. Graphics over gameplay.
Shitty sequels.
Overhyping games.
Shit voice acting/stupid cheesy lines.
Story.
Copying.
These aren't really "trends". These are more like consistent problems with the industry. Except for "unskippable cutscenes" ... they're more of a case-by-case basis kind of thing.

You sir understand why games fail in this gen (Not saying all games just most).
You are a true gamer because you jumped outside the box known as "Graphics and etc etc". I'd pat you on the back but im on the internet :3.

Unskippable Cutscenes, I swear in the days of PS2's and Gamecubes you could skip every single cutscene, these days games make me go through them as I cry to myself over how bad the cutscenes are, how bad the story is, and how badly I just want to play the bloody game!
I don't have a problem with bad cutscenes in general, just don't like it when i'm forced to sit through it.

Whenever I have a bunch of cut scenes in my games I just go get a snack for something to drink while I'm waiting. Or I do laundry on those days and when there are cut scenes I just move the loads and fold my laundry. I even played other games on my DS, GBA, and iTouch while I've been playing Mass Effect 2 since it has some scenes that can't be skipped.

Also, I'm not really a guy for street fighter or tekken.

I don't mind them being unskippable the first time - especially when they include story-related information. But already in the first Mass Effect there were a couple of cutscenes just before battles, where I had to watch the scene again and again after dying. Really made me wish I could skip them, too.

I will probably be alone in this, but it feels to me that most games coming out now (big titles, at least) are trying to be more like movies than games. I like that there is an emphasis on the story, but it doesn't feel the same. It used to be that when you played a game, there was a clear health bar, and now, it's like it's taboo to put something on the screen besides the character and environment.
I may be wrong, however, since I don't play any of the big titles. (All I have is a PS2 and a Wii, after all.) But from what I've seen, the current state of gaming isn't where I want to be. I like anime characters, not people that look like they could walk out of the TV and exist in our three-dimensional environment. I like having health bars and similar things on the screen.
