Aren't they already saying that about Fallout? It is almost like when we get past 25 years old, Entertainment seems to just get worse. Oh I pine for the stuff that came out when I was 15-25 years old, that was the pure golden age of entertainment. Unlike the new stuff that is just derivative dribble with a fancy coat of paint, that is too easy to play. and the really old stuff that has crappy graphics and sound, and overly complex game play.
I am probably older than you and believe me, most games have always been mediocre. We just don't remember them as much. And I think games have largely gotten better. I mean, look at Fallout; every version (pre-76 I guess based on what I hear) was better than the last. And I've been playing since 1.

Fallout 1 & 2 were awesome.
Fallout 3 lost some of the feel but brought a more polished experienced, and was probably a net benefit.
FO:NV was very, very, very good. Nearly as good as FO 1 & 2 in writing, storyline, etc, and much better in other ways. Perhaps this was the peak of the series.
Fallout 4 was pretty weak; not in the same league as any of the previous games IMO. Maybe for some people the base constructio
Nah, 2 was better than 1, then it went kinda downwater. It's telling there's a fan mod for fallout 2 (Fallout : Rejuvenation iirc is the name) that's got better writing than anything the actual companies have produced since 2.
There have always been mediocre content produced across all media but the disaster that struck films and games as opposed to music is high budgets spent almost exclusively on the wrong things
I like Fallout 1 best. It was buggy as hell, and too short. But it had all the right elements, even the game manual was great. Fallout 2 was ok, but sort of failed in that it was waaay too long, and Reno with the mobsters and drugs and adult film industry just felt like it was in the wrong game. And Horrigan was a lousy bad guy with a contrived end-game fight. It was fun though, don't get me wrong.
So much for Fallout (Score:2)
It will still exist, it will even still exist for PC, but it will require the latest DX and the storylines will also go downhill.
