The Last Marxist
Pika-Cthulhu said:My beef is with the acceptance of stagnation of game design due to consoles. Is it not bad enough that story, art, choice and consequence (yes, RPG elements I know, FPS are fairly simple fare and most do not apply) must be sacrificed upon the altar of easymode streamlined super accessibility, now, a company that previously pushed the envelop enough to have everyone bitch about its system requirements, has jumped on the console bandwagon of making shit for inferior technology used by the casual cattle.
Stagnation of development, and acceptance of how consoles are hampering further advances, all in the name of a fast buck from the lowest most base consumer.
Any concession made to the camp of consoles must be fought tooth and nail, or there will be precious little left for those who abhor the casual shit that is now on offer.
The FPS is lost anyhow. No point bothering to protect that genre. COD, BC and the like have made sure that we will now always face 95% crap regarding FPS. The other 5% will be like always one or 2 devs pissing into the wind, making something different and whether we 'fight the concessions' or not , these games will still be made just as our bunch of a few dozen or hundred losers will have no effect compared to the millions of cunts who will religiously buy COD 17, BC44, or Crysis11.
