Make something NEW
Exactly. I haven't bought a pre-release game in a while because most of it is buggy and bland. But I bought the new Zelda game at pre-release precisely because it does something new.
If they're intent on spending more on graphics instead of actually innovating gameplay, I'm content buying older releases that provide the exact same gameplay for a steep discount. I don't play MP games, so my selection is pretty broad.
But I will buy a compelling new game, I'm just more into story and gameplay than graphics. Most of my money goes to indies, most of the rest goes to Nintendo, and the dregs go to older AAA games that I can get for cheap.
