So what does this say about gaming in the 2010s? Seems like the push back to retro-style gaming could be indicative of the recession-era in which people crave security in their life like they had in their childhood playing their Nintendo or Atari or whatever else. Hence, the games made today often harken back to those more secure times.
@CrazyCheeseMagee the recession is gonna get its in game representation via GTA V. Im not sure if there other games that has/or will tackle recession into the narrative
@DragONheart27X Sounds interesting. Do you know what city the city in GTA V is based on? If it's about recession, sounds like a good place would be one of those Rust Belt cities like Detroit that were especially hard-hit from the recession.
@CrazyCheeseMagee in LA (aka Los Santos in the GTA universe) watch the trailer, it clearly shows the disparity between the rich and the not so rich, and has scenes like houses being for sale, people camping under bridges, farmers getting smoked my a private plane, etc.
@DragONheart27X I saw the trailer. Looks interesting story-wise from the little I've seen and read. (Like it could be called Occupy: The Video Game.) Hopefully it will be fun as well, since that's the main point of video games.
Intresting enough, a games tv show in Sweden put two teams of politicians playing Sim City and competed against eachother which would get a better town. It ended up in disaster for both of them.
Nowdays politicians are more "home" to video games and younger politicians (30 something and below) admit that they play computergames. I think that this is a good change because politicians usually dont see the big picture like gamers who play strategic/god-games do.

boring level 4 was about the army not about video games

I wouldnt say that level four was boring at all, it shows you how much of an impact the military has had on computer games and visa versa.
