> Center of the Universe There is a very real problem across many creative mediums these days (big budget movies in particular) that the stakes have been constantly raised to the point where there's very little room for smaller, personal stories. It's either the total destruction of life as we know it, or it doesn't get made. I think it's fatiguing for the audience, and always having enormous stakes makes it boring and pedestrian. Most of the games that I mentioned do fall into this trap in one way or another, but there are still some exceptions. Red Dead Redemption is a good example. You aren't trying to save the world, you just one to do this one little thing and then get back to your family... except it keeps dragging on and on.
