The genre is dying or is dead because of the moronic gamers now a days. They're all idiots. Survival Horror was always hard as hell to play because of very, very limited weapons and some of the hardest puzzles ever. Now a days, if the game doesn't have flashing lights and laser beams shooting across the screen every two seconds, a constant rank up, shiny pointless medals that say to the player "you're the greatest gamer on the planet," then people won't play it. Gamers today want easy. They claim they don't, but it's true. If it's too hard, then they don't play because they're attention span is that of a rock. p.s. Look at Alien Isolation. This game was tore apart on IGN because they felt the alien was too unpredictable. This is a -blam!-ing joke as back in the day, gamers of the Survival Horror genre would be salivating for stuff like this. Again, gamers today are -blam!-ing idiots.
