While i agree with some of what you said. I disagree a lot other things. The biggest problem with game addaption stuff is they dont even keep the plot or loor of the game they just take kind of what the character is and have them do what the character kind of does.

I know many gamers who don't go into a game going OOOOO that leveling system looks fun. who does that, that is all the boring stuff the story and where you go from point to point the worlds and the mythos of the game because these things is what make it interesting. game play just keeps them invested in the game so they do not leave half way through.

i can tell you now even if a game looked fun to play if there was not something story wise or like other element to it then i would pass on it.
