Then:
>new game coming out
>has a silly commercial advertising it
>word of mouth whether its good or not
Now:
>new game coming out
>needs an extravagant introduction in E3 followed by a trailer making it look like a serious film
>trailer most likely has earthy female vocals in it
What else about video games do you hate now?
Rock on, gold dust woman.... Take your silver spoon and dig your... grave.

Microtransactions. Unskippable cutscenes. The videogame community letting faggot reviewers and youtubers dictate whether or not they'll buy or like a game.

>Not "edgy quiet/"modern" version of a once popular or currently popular song"
Just think about it. This whole "edgy piano music with quiet vocals" thing started with Gears of War. A game from fucking 2006. We've been having the same ad bullshit for over a decade now.
And of course, if it's not that, it's usually a more dramatic version of an incredibly overrated song. Battlefield once using "Seven Nation Army" comes to mind as one of the most recent notable offenders.
I miss when real nerds made games for other nerds

also why the fuck did GoW have a trailer with some litrullyhoo female singer covering nothing else matters? could they not get the rights to use the original song?

I hate this fucking trend and why would a Power Rangers movie need a somber cover of a Johnny Cash song? It's Power Rangers.

Early Access
DLC
Pre order exclusives
The expectation that games will launch a buggy mess
Console companies charging you to use their shitty network services
