It's not a general rule for all the cases, but i think most of them just don't want to face the facts, that a game they are hyped up about, is not as good as they thought. So then, a defence mechanism in their brain sets off, making them block off all the negativity with unreasonable arguments. Self-persuasion!
At least that's how i understand those cases were a person, or a group of people seem to be devoid of all logic.
The best way to support intelligent games is to simply buy intelligent games - like some indie games.
The way the gaming industry works is that there's no real room for mid-level games, a game is either a tiny indie game or an incredibly expensive AAA game. The latter are so expensive they need to try to appeal to as big an audience as possible, and that's what leads to a loss of distinctive quality.

sea would you care to share a link to your blog. I often wanted to start my own blog and write "realistic" reviews of game, but because I'm almost fundamentally against blogs (and some other reasons), I decided not to bother.
Ah, I know your pain Sea, and so do many other gamers on this forum.
But for the rest, I do not know what to say or advice really.
Just buy the games you really want to play and ignore the rest that are advertised as 'much have'.
Regarding Mass Effect 2, I enjoyed the game when I played it for the first time, but when I last tried to replay it it honestly couldn't hold my attention anymore, and I am not a short attention span gamer.
I guess I had 'seen' it all and with that the game lacks any reason to play it again.

The pinnacle of this game stupifying has to be Modern Warfare 2. The plot in the was just right down idiotic, the gameplay had some severe problems, the multiplayer was extremely noob friendly, adding several extremly easy to use weapons and tactics which only annoyed anyone with any self respect who refused to use them. One of my friends, who is really good at MW2, takes it as a personal insut every time someone, usually me, critisizes even a single small detail in it's multiplayer (he doesn't care about the campaing, and he is an intelligent person every ways. This again proves the self defense mechanism of a hyped fanboy when it turns out that the game he has waited wasn't perfect.
The gaming industry is shit. That's the bottom of it. All I'm really hoping for is another video game crash due to oversaturation of FPS games (just like before with the same old crappy Atari games and then the NES came along and saved everything). But in today's gaming industry, FPS games will never die, with every rehash of Call of Duty or Halo there will always be sales because of the people who buy them.
It's sad to think that kids growing up in this decade are being exposed to so many shitty First-Person Shooters. I see groups of 10 year old kids (not even exaggerating here) hanging around GAME talking about Modern Warfare 2 and "the next Call of Duty game".

And I gotta say, you got a nice blog there.sea said:

Wait, did you get an enhanced copy of Mass Effect where the story wasn't bad and a nerfed copy of 2 or something? I mean, I've played through both games and the second is basically superior in every way (The only thing I miss are things like the Electronics skill and whatnot.)

Uh, "bum-rushing the mass relay nobody has ever come back from" was the mission from the start. And dumb paragon/renegade option, dictating whether the game considers you good or bad" is basically Biowares trademark now.
Anyway, I basically had the opposite reaction you did. The story in the first game didn't really grab me, and has some pretty good holes in it. Plus Sovereign wasn't a very smart villain. (then there's the bad combat and vehicle controls, the shit menus, and micromanagement of equipment, which wouldn't have been so bad if it had been intuitive at all.)
The second one managed to draw me in and interest me. Hilariously though, the missions somehow seem more generic "Shoot things" than the first, but that's because there's no Mako segments.

i agree with OP
the thing i fear is kids today looking at games in 10-15 years and saying "Damn, today's games are so easy!" Like we are now.
