Limited time means limited time for games so are easier shorter games the answer?

I think PC gamers like even simplier games, you know, with all those Flash games that onlu use the space bar.

Only way to answer this question.

Seriously, people need to stop generalizing.

What kind of games one wants to play isn't solely decided by the platform they own.

I wonder why some people say console games are simple and easy? Ive been playing games a very very long time and have yet to see any difference in pc and console games "hard/easy" wise??

I think its just a way for pcgamers to continuously bash consoles..Always looking for something I guess..

its true. i can only manage simple games.

i would so love to be a PC gamer and play very complexed games that give me an overwhelming sense of smugness and self gratification. i wish i could spend hours reading manuals and learning which little icon to click on in the right order to make me more complete gamer.

but unfortuanatly my mind had been dumbed down to much by many many years of console games. and gin

Gamers want fun games. If they can be complex and fun that's great but they need to be fun or rewarding. It's harder to make a game rewarding than fun because... they are just games.

Who wants games so complicated that it takes all the fun away? Gamers want games that are accessible, not simple, yet fun.

I think both groups of gamers hate games being too easy (as comapred to the good old 90s). However I have noticed that pc gamers tend to be more critical when it comes to a game's difficulty. Perhaps its because mouse and KB make shooters substantially easier to their console counterparts (eg SC:C) or maybe its because since pc gamers tend to be older than console gamers they are more experienced gamers. Or maybe its because pc gamers can easily alt+tab and rage on a game :P

Compare ArmA 2/Stalker, to games like Gears of War/Halo.

Do console gamers want 'Press A to make the explosions'?

Do PC gamers want 'Numer calculations ultra simulator 7.0'?

No not really.
However the markets are very different.

Console games are more complex than they have ever been in terms of technicalities and in quite a few instances - game design. PC games on the other hand have a strong legacy of complexity in games, which is still present today - however in an era of multiplat Triple A games, mainstream big budget titles for most of the part plateaued.

There isn't Demon's Souls and Ninja Gaiden on the PC.

There isn't Dwarf Fortress and ArmA on consoles.

I'm not too sure why you are generalising the console gamer/games. There are heaps of long games on the consoles. Some of my favourites are longer than most PC games. Just because there are not many buttons to use on the controller in comparison to a keyboard, it does not mean its simpler, but more the developer working with the tools of the console. So instead of shortcut buttons we now have menu wheels or lists to navigate. I think your question has been answered several times here and with that i'll close it. Next time when creating a thread be more thoughtful with your discussion.
