Still waiting for my money. If you just want to make a check, make it out to 'cash' That's my maiden name.

You know what I mean: most companies are doing certain types of games 'because they sell well' or 'because they're popular now' as opposed to trying something unique.

Screw the medal, I'll take cash.

It's amazing that nobody but me was smart enough to take 30 seconds to see if this problem had been mentioned already.

I think the real problem is, when you get right down to it, almost every game out there has effectively been done before, whether as an effective carbon copy of a previous game or 'like game X but with Y'. Remember way back when all games were new games?

Rune Factory is pretty good; quite a bit more flashy than I expected (voices for characters and the FMV opening), and dungeon-crawling is a nice addition to managing the farm (which, to be fair, can get monotonous).
