[...]I actually blame a lot on game developers and marketers. As far as Watch_Dogs is concerned, I think the game does deserve all the bashing and hate it's getting. Everything surrounding the game was hyped up, with bullshotted trailers and doctored screen shots. If the game hadn't set an unobtainable standard for itself with it's bullshots, than the "controversy" surrounding itself wouldn't exist. As I see it, the marketers of Watch_Dogs brought the problem on themselves. They could've avoided this whole mess if they had just been honest with the consumer and showcased what was actually being used for the game.

The industry, as a whole, has relied on hype and deception rather than honesty. Every game has to be hyped up to the max of extreme. Companies regularly drum up the graphics capabilities of their consoles and games, focusing them over everything else. Instead of talking about gameplay and innovation, they daddle on about how "cutting edge" their "next-gen graphics" are.

And you know the dark irony in all of this? The average consumer has bought into it so much, that they now prioritize the graphics-pissing-contest over everything else. Games have proven again and again that gameplay is worth LOADS more than graphics. But, because the industry has put sooooooo much weight bragging about resolution scaling, dynamic particle lighting, tessellation smoothing--and a whole bunch of other stuff I don't even know what the fuck--the average gamer now has an investment in graphics.

When the industry puts so much emphasis on graphics, it's no surprise that the gaming community will too. And because everything is now doctored up to generate as much marketing hype as possible, we get an unrealistic expectation for our games. The bar is held up so ridiculously high that nothing will ever meet it. So thus, we're set up to be disappointed.

No matter how good or fun or pretty the game actually is, it sucks because the marketing machine raised our expectations so high. And because bullshots and hype-trains are now par the course, we keep getting trapped in this cycle of unrealistic expectation and disappointment. Cynicism is only natural in this cycle.

The silly thing is that all of this could be avoided if game developers were just honest. If you premiered an "ugly" early-alpha builds of your game at E3 and then released the game after a load of work, gamers would go "WOW! This game looks so much better than it did in the trailers! Look at all this cool stuff they added!"

That's how it used to be. You'd see development screenshots in a gaming magazine that looked so-so, and then you'd play the actual game and it'd look better. That makes the consumer optimistic and happy.

With the reverse(premiere trailers looking way better than the finished product), what can you expect other than cynicism?"
