Still, most big name games will bend over backward in order to pull in the "COD audience". Things have gotten bad and good though, a lot of publishers aren't getting in the way so badly and we're starting to see a lot of cool new games come out. Yet still, you would never see a game like Odd World taking the spot light in gaming now a days, straying from "the formula" is dangerous.
Also I nutted up and beat Space Marine and Fallout. Fallout was awesome but confusing, space marine was mediocre and had a lot of random really hard parts. The final segment of Fallout was pretty awesome, and the final boss was fun minus the fact that he could endlessly summon guards to attack you. I tried cutting them down, then I realized it was pretty impossible. The game hit a pretty perfect difficulty honestly, felt hard but not luck based and not really bullshit. Despite me doing a TON of extra stuff in order to get a good ending I still had 3 cities get completely destroyed by super mutants, which pisses me off. Space Marine's end was just pretty stupid. I got stuck on it and died like 10 times in one night, then I took a major rest and I beat it in my first try with barely any effort. The final boss was also basically a giant QTE, which was boring. They sort of set up an ending, and I do like how they finally show humanity in a dickish way near the end of the game.
Man, after seeing all the stuff in the new Hitman game I'm convinced that stealth is dead. If there's ever an indie dev that wants to make a new stealth game I will support him hard.
WHOLE NOTHER EDIT
Baldour's Gate 2 starts in a dungeon/prison right? Also finally installed Assassins Creed 2, the running is pretty fun.
