Is PC Gaming Going to Dumb Down Console Games?

Dark Souls released for 360 and PS3 and was later released for PC. Now Dark Souls 2 is releasing for 360/PS3/PC and is being dumbed down.

Story: More straight forward and easier to understand

More Accessible...

Game progressively gets harder rather than very hard right at the beginning.

Seems like PC gamers couldn't handle Dark Souls and because of them us console gamers are getting shafted. What a sad time for console gamers everywhere. What are your thoughts on this disgrace to gaming? Are we going to see this as an ongoing trend in gaming?

:P

thankstome

Doesn't mean they can't cater to the PC gaming community...

It's probably the other way around now.

They probably made it with PC gaming in mind.

This is literally the dumbest thing I've read all day. Congratulations.

It wasn't until PC gaming entered the scene that they are changing their game.

dark souls is being dumbed down its not made for a single console like it was originally for ps3.thankstome

[QUOTE="RyanShazam"]

[QUOTE="thankstome"] otherway around and dark souls 2 is a console port to pc.thankstome

They probably made it with PC gaming in mind.

Then why are they putting this game on PC and dumbing it down? The first two weren't and they were originally console exclusive.

Exactly. Clearly consoles can't handle all of that stuff.

Consoles could handle that stuff though... The first two games were for consoles.

[QUOTE="thankstome"][QUOTE="RyanShazam"]I found Dark Souls to be just as challenging as Demon's Souls.

[QUOTE="thankstome"] nm no way pc can dumb down games look how many buttons a keyboard has compared to a controller.thankstome

Congrats for the dumbest thread of the day. You do relize PC gamers are on average older, and have supported more mature games such as The Witcher.

Yes but clearly it was underperforming on consoles. They needed to gut all that stuff just so consoles can run it properly. Jeez can't PC ever catch a break?

What do technical achievments have to do with the challenge of a game? Clearly PC gamers couldn't handle the complexity of the Souls series so in order to cater to PC gamers they had to make it easier.

[QUOTE="RyanShazam"]

[QUOTE="thankstome"] you can have more control actions on a keyboard because of more buttonsthankstome

So what?

wth...

[QUOTE="thankstome"][QUOTE="RyanShazam"]

So what?

RyanShazam

[QUOTE="RyanShazam"]

[QUOTE="thankstome"] meaning consoles dumb down pc games. not the otherway around. call of duty on pc you can lean and on console you cant. MORE BUTTONS thankstome

Flew right past your head.

[QUOTE="thankstome"][QUOTE="RyanShazam"]I think you missed the point of the thread...

RyanShazam

Flew right past your head.

everything is being made easier now though so blame the devs not the pc it's a fact of life pc allows for more complex gameplay than a console though.thankstome

You do realize the main point I made was about the gamers themselves right?

Dark Souls released for 360 and PS3 and was later released for PC. Now Dark Souls 2 is releasing for 360/PS3/PC and is being dumbed down.

RyanShazam

and what other precedents are there for this? there are examples of games being dumbed down when going to consoles. crysis and deus ex come immediately to mind. remember that the game was new to the 360 as well. why are you so convinced that it's the pc's fault?

why are you blaming the pc when it was new to both the 360 and the pc? you also ignored my comment about precedents.

PC version came later on. They probably would have dumbed down the PC version of Dark Souls if they knew PC gamers couldnt handle it. Unfortunaltey becasue of that us PS3/360 owners now get shafted with Dark Souls 2. I dont need anymore precedents. The 3 points I mentioned are enough to kill the hype of this game for any hardcore gamer like myself.

[QUOTE="RyanShazam"] The 360 is a console and Dark Souls was not casualized for the PC audience like DS2 is going to be.RyanShazam

After releasing it later on PC they realized the PC audience couldn't handle the game so in order to make more money and have Dark Souls 2 on PC also they had to casualize it.
