vlad, you keep bringing up the fact that games are dumbed down for consoles. Please explain to me how the fps genre has been dumbed down. And keep in mind, I know your favorite fps games are UT04 and Quake 3. And I know these games are about as simple as they come, UT04 has more going on than Quake 3, but still is quite simplistic. Now please, enlighten me.

 

I need to start bookmarking my posts.Just compare DE1 to DE2: Invisible War. Or FO2 to FO3. Sicne I don't want to repeat myself again that's the short example of it.

I know what you have posted previously and I disagree.

Give me sales figures of DE1 and I will tell you why they might want to make the game more paletable to a wider audience.  They would have done this regardless of going to consoles or not.  More graphically impressive a game is, the more money it costs, the more they need to make back.

Not sure how taking out some questionable actions in FO2 makes a game more dumbed down.  Does being able to murder children make a more complex game?

I told you. I still remember my surprise when I was playing as a bad char when I tried to shoot the annoying fucks in Little town, but the game didn't let me. Of course that's just an example. Just can't do as much.
