Anyone notices that trend to dumb-down games not only continues (it is obvious) but - like galaxies running away from each other in space - continues to do this faster and faster?
I got several angry pm's from Guild wars 2 funs after i posted comment about "puzzle" you need solve in this game: it involved multiplying 2 x 2 (or 3,8 x 5,8, do not remember).
What kind of "puzzle" is this? What target audience developers had in mind when designing this puzzle?
Not talking about GW2 here, its just one of AWESOME games that will be forgotten by crowd in few months, when they move to next AWESOME game.
Anyone notices that this Flavour of the month AWESOME games are getting dumber and dumber each day? Few years ago no game designed for grown-up (or even "T"eens as in case of GW2) would offer to solve 2 x 2 as puzzle.
It is just one example, but i do speak a lot. I am surprised fellow codexers - people with refined tastes and of intelligence - support such games, instead of more mature, deeper ones.
