Can we get a Dev to sticky this? I feel the same way. |

I have a better idea.... how about you realize there is a market for casual games out there, and being judgmental doesn't matter at ALL to the people who like those sort of games.
Yes, you do't like it. Yes, there are a lot of casual games out there... But who the **** are you to say people are stupid for liking what they like and having preferences?
You haven't yet realized that the mentality settles on most if not all of the Devs with a name, who then do everything they can to make their game as easy as possible, so they can get the Call of Duty money. I'm not saying it's bad wanting to make money, but I wouldn't be surprised if Devs make it so you can unlock trophies/achievements by using a credit card. Gone are the days of a game like old Splinter Cell, when if you got spotted, the mission was failed and you had to restart. Gone are the days of SOCOM, a game that had to be played patiently or else you'd get killed. And there wasn't regenerating health in that one.
To put it more simply, gaming is in such a sorry state because so many want it easy, and Devs cater to the casual crowd, and they completely ignore the hardcore crowd. SOCOM went from dying in 2 shots, using concealment, communication and tactics in a round-based, one-life format being the norm to random bullet spread, regenerating health, bad communication, no tactics and infinite lives in respawn being the norm.
We're in such a sorry state because of simple minds. The only ones producing any difficult games are indie Devs. |

You can EA this and that. And I agree with you on some points. But what about those like me? Those that 80% of FPS games make up their diet. EA? Activision? You know there are more FPS publishers out there. ARMA, SOCOM, RESISTANCE, PLANETSIDE, UNREAL TOURNAMENT, TRIBES, RAINBOW SIX, SECTION 8 (this game pretty much.. just better features)
It seems your coming from a RPG and MMO perspective.
EVE and Korean mmo players (looking at you korean mmo) giggle at grinds. But not everyone loves to grind. You say those may not love the grind have entitlement issues, but that's as easy as me saying EVE is a OCD delight. Its Boring.
But has to do with one's personal taste. Not entitlement.
You want in depth FPS? It's not this game. Look up Arma, or vegas 2.
The Rainbow 6: Vegas games have to be some of the worst shooters I've ever played. I went through the campaign for 2 in less than 6 hours with a friend. |

I failed to see a strategy that would bring back hardcore gaming. Where did you see that in his post? |

I know plenty of people who only buy consoles for play FPS or even just one FPS religiously. I never looked at them as "Gamers." The true diversity of enjoyment of games, not a fan of a single type of game over and over and over. Those are just new school casuals the market has figured out how to make more money off of because it requires less dedication to creation and originality. But you also have a huge number of companies these days to select from all looking for one hit instead of a great library.
There are those of us that simply don't find other gametypes interesting. I never played RPGs, and if I were to dive into one now, I'd literally be a few generations behind everybody else that plays them, because I'd be new to RPGs. Racing games are boring because that's all the same thing. I never found sports games either, because I'd rather just watch my favorite team on TV instead of trying to play as them.
I'm just a shooter fan. I've been playing them online for almost 10 years. Been gaming for twice that; first games online were Starship Troopers Online and Silent Death Online, back when AOL was the main internet provider.
Dunno how you couldn't consider me a gamer. |
