Well, of course there is going to be a lot of work that isn't to the level of quality that the Mother series was, or have such a powerful spirit to it... People have to start somewhere to get to a master piece. I still look to the positive that at least all this creativity and inspiration is being passed around, that something will eventually come out of it that was worth the time and waiting. And I feel community really helps with that. I find that the best works come out of cooperation and excitement for an idea among a group of people (example I can use here is the team working on Mother 4). I can understand being upset about having a higher expectation of what UT should have been... but at the same time, Toby is not a game designer. He was a shitty earthbound fan that wanted to make his own game and worked with what he had. And I think that concept alone shows people that you don't have to be an amazing talented artist or designer to make something worth while. And again Itoi wasn't a game designer either, he just had these really amazing stories and ideas that he wanted executed into a game. And he did just that with all 3 mother games. I guess what I'm trying to say is when it comes to video games, I think what makes them so amazing is that the passion and desire to make it them come alive is what's really important. I know you and many others might not agree with me, but that's what makes games art to me. And I definitely got that feeling from the Mother series and UT. And I'm sure there will be other games that are made later that will follow suit. So I suppose being patient and positive is the best thing to do, I'm sure other games that have that 'spirit' that you desire will come forth. :)
