Dumbed Down Games Leave Uncreative Dishonored Players Lost And Confused

My objective as a player of this genre is to kill any, and everything in my path. I will do as much as I can do make sure I do so without them realizing I have done anything.

I realize I accidentally the whole thing.

After I read that way back in the day, I couldn't resist trolling the fleshlight live chat help myself. There's a SS somewhere on one of my computers of our chat log.

But the guard said don't go upstairs. Jeez. Just trying to follow the law here.

Valve also commented on a similar situation in Half Life 2 Episode 2 where one player literally walked around in circles for over an hour not knowing where to go and another spent all his ammo trying to kill the Antlion Guardian when it wasn't supposed to be fought at that point yet.


Maybe the players themselves are getting dumber and developers are catering to that.

I usually hate stealth games specifically the ones that fail your mission if your spotted and make you start over.

This is NOT one of those games and looks like its going to be fun and very flexible even for people who arn't as fond to stealth gameplay.

I blame the schools.

I Blame the government

I blame Emperor Palpatine and his New Order.

I don't think calling linear games "dumbed down" is fair, nor do I think that gamers who are used to these games are "bozos". Not all games need to be free roaming, puzzle solving complexities that challenge how you think. And not all gamers want to play a game like that either - some just want a straightforward action game, which is why the games you listed sell so well. Also I like how you picked on 3 games you aren't a big fan of when WoW, a game more popular than any of them, is an MMORPG which by its very nature is a game of clear and simple objectives. I also like how you call these bozos "modern gamers" in general, like you sit atop a pile of the rest of today's idiots. What an arrogant article.

Someone is wildly overestimating the popularity of WoW...

People still play wow instead of Guild Wars 2? They must not be up with the times.

You're missing the point

Why bother with the point if you can't get the details right?

If you want to pettifog and make excuses for why you want to nitpick details that don't affect the validity of the post go for it, but if you're not going to offer any real rebuttal you're just making a fool of yourself. Don't come unarmed to a battle of wits, I feel like I'm making you hit yourself like you're my kid brother.

That reminds me I should write up my term paper on the difference between a battle of wits. versus a wit vs a joker and then the progression of anonymity on the internet giving rise to the birth of a troll. A type of joker that will look past any point of wit or reason in order to continue to get a laugh even if it is at a negative cost of everyone around him.

I was making a mmo joke. I can see your point that not every game has to be obtusely open world but I wouldn't call guild wars 2 linear or having simple clear objectives all the time. Id hope each game would be able to balance its game design on a individual game basis.

I would however go into that, there are gamers out there that people who have been gaming since the 90s would call lesser gamers. Some examples are very opinionated like my opinion of people who think borderlands 1 was game of the year worthy. Others are people(like your parents/peers) that play games like angry birds and farmville and still consider themselves gamers. Do you consider your grandmother a gamer because she goes to the casino and plays video poker? No

Sourdeez, my comments were to TurinAlexander about missing my point and being pedantic. I had actually given your comment a thumbs up, it made me chuckle. I can always appreciate humor. TurinAlexander however is just being a weiner.

Anyone that thinks the details don't matter isn't worth having a serious discussion with. You've already tried to insult me twice, and for what? I haven't said anything to or about you that was the least bit insulting and you're already falling back on it. I've already won the argument before it even began.

The detail you're debating doesn't change the validity of what I was saying. If you think my point is incorrect and all you can do is nitpick inconsequential details you have nothing to counter with. You may as well attack my spelling.

Is your character overpowered in Dishonored?

My super hero name "The Dark Pied Piper"

Too much penis waving on this site.

*puts penis away*

Wait, wait, wait... the guard said not to go up there, but you're supposed to go up there? That's just stoopid.

I'm actually laughing out loud right now.... well... it's more of an audible chuckle, but still.
