We need more story driven single player games and less of the bullshit multiplayer money grabbing games we have now.

Agrees.
I love complex stories. Been playing Fallout 3 for a year now. There's so much characters and side quests. I'm at 125 hours on this game, and I didn't even finished the main storyline.

I must loot everything, that's why it takes me ages, hehe. Then I'm gonna play Fallout New Vegas... crap

More IPs, less copious amounts of sequels.

I'm lookin' at you Halo and CoD (BF too, but I like BF better so wutever). Sports games being the exception for me, but only because I like me some NHL. I'd argue the same thing is happening with sports games as well.

Indie games are cool too. Indie devs can come up with some cool shit like Jonathan Blow with Braid, Supergiant with Bastion, and Polytron with Fez.

I'm actually not too keen on most indie games nowadays. Most of the time they feel like demos for experimental game mechanics than anything else.

I kind of agree, but then we don't get sequels to games that really need it; Shenumue and Mega Man Legends anyone?

What I'm trying to get at here is that gaming franchises that don't get a sequel for years and has somewhat of a cult following, it wouldn't hurt to throw them a bone and make a sequel or something. I'm kinda sick of Mario Party and Call of Duty games just due to the sheer over-saturation of the franchises, especially since sequels seem to override the previous installments entirely in popularity.

Yeah I'm a little irked.

Mario Party 9 was awful

I get that feeling too, mostly because I think a lot of newer devs are trying to cash in on the indie craze. But, I do find some on occasion (like the three I listed) that easily become my favorite games ever.

I'm not talking about all sequels, I'm talking about sequels being released when there isn't a need for sequels (again, CoD). Games that are very story driven deserve sequels if the story telling is good enough or something purely new is brought to the table, just as the same as some movie franchises rightfully earned sequels while some have not. Saw, for instance, is the CoD of the movie industry. People still watch them, but are they really necessary? Similarly, CoD is arguably the same game every year, but with updated graphics, maps, guns, and story line which isn't really the selling point of the game to begin with.

Words cannot describe my hatred for CoD and what it's done to the genre XD
