How do veteran gamers feel about games since the release of next gen consoles. What has happened to action adventure and RPG games. There too easy, brainless, boring and short. Everything has changed. I miss resident evil you had to use your head and it was hard. Veteran on resident evil 5 is too easy and professional is stupidly difficult without upgrades or another human. Tomb raider games now have ridiculous hint systems. La Noire with half its content missing Final Fantasy xiii thats nothing like final fantasy games at all. Im not asking for final fanatsy 7 I am asking for something better but similiar. Story, Puzzles and Exploration with secrets. Games are being made for a broader audience which is great Newbies are more than welcome but veteran gamers want something too. The publishers have too much power over the industry. There should be a setting that turns off glowing items, tutorials, partner hint speech & stupid arrows Whats your thoughts??
This is a pretty common complaint today. I think the evolution of anything will always have people coming out complaining about the new material.
I agree though, games have been extremely dumbed down. I don't think this has decreased the fun-factor though, I'm having more fun gaming this generation than any previous, and my first system was an Intellivision:) So I've been around for a while.
What's interesting is that this might be a reflection of the overall dumbing down of society. For many, especially middle-class youth, LIFE IS ON EASY MODE.

It makes you wonder what the future holds. I predict short, brainless and expensive games. How short is nfs the run. I have to play games on higher difficulties else its no fun.

there is a clear fallacy in your argument. You put both "evolution" and "dumbed down" to describe the same thing. I would have had no problem had you posted "devolution" and "dumbed down". When something changes for the worse, it is not evolution. Games have clearly devolved.

i agree with a lot of what u mentioned, but i don't think it has really anything to do with a *dumbing down of society* seriously bro our society can't get no dumber than it already is, just watch the news for 5 minutes... i think what it amounts to is a combination of lazyness and carelessness, its easier for people to just accept rather than make a stand, take capcom for example with its recent DLC issue, had gamers manned up the first time and reduced there DLC sales to 0% they wouldn't have pulled that sh!t again, but there's always gonna be those groups who just wanna make excuses for the greedy corps basically cause its easier than saying something about it, most on these forums will often post that people on here complain too much, imo its the exact oppisite, people don't complain enough!
P.S- Intellivision!!?? damn... you've been gaming long as i have! :shock:
