Yeah that is definitely the bad thing about nerds becoming 'cool'. Hip and easy majority overrides what's cool for the hardcore.

That, but the whole over-sequelization is choking games. That's why nintendo games are still so cool. I'm shitting my pants over a new Wii Zelda cause it's been 4 years since I played the last one.
On the flipside, there's not much to look forward to when you're facing Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed every year. Guitar Hero is a perfect example of oversaturation stagnating a semi-fresh idea.

Hey, Assassin's Creed 2 turned out to be MUCH better than the first and the story was actually really good. One of the top games for me last year.

Personally, I didn't like it. Regardless, I was super excited for it and bought it at midnight. They're releasing another this fall, which kind of cheapens the experience does it not? I mean there is such a thing as too much of something good.
It may sound crazy, but isn't half the fun of a big game the wait that surrounds it? Would James Bond movies be such a spectacle if there were one every 8 months? I think not. With such short dev cycles, it's also just a matter of time before the quality goes down.

Depends on the quality for me, with things like Mass Effect and such, they don't really have to change the graphics or redo them, just upgrade and create a few new things here and there. Then it's all about the story.
I remember back in the day, you would hear about a game coming out, and it would be years before it did. Remember Ocarina of Time? - or hell it seemed like any Japanese game worth a damn always took 6 months - a year to get translated and released here.
I get tired of generic shooter #249 and it's sequels every god damn year.

Eh, I guess it's not a big deal for me because I play MMOs, and that always leaves me with another option for a game if something turns out bad or nothing good is out for a while. Most of the stories I care about turn out pretty good, anything else is just multiplayer.

nah, that adventure game looks like it could be fun with a group of attractive people who are all naked. as long as no one is sober.
EDIT: also, I am currently eating skittles
