It may not says " wow consoles suck" but I can clearly see the diifference especially if someone is used to playing PC games. A good example is Oblivion. I bought the PC version and I can easily tell it was a 360 port. I quickly notice it's short drawing distance and low textures. It's not much "eye of the beholder" when objects suddenly appears out of thin air. Then most of the all I can tell Oblivion had the console "Hassle Free" and "accessible to everyone" gameplay which IMO was a step back for Morrowind. That's the one of the main problems I have with consoles , not only do they try to make the system "hassle free" but the gameplay as well. Thus a more dumb down feel. I'm thankful for the users mod while maybe a little more hassle yet it was worth it for both graphics and gameplay. |
I'd agree with this sentiment, but I don't think its just restricted to PC games vs console games although that does play a huge factor. Compare Mass Effect to KoToR. Both were on consoles but Mass Effect is far shorter and "hassle free" as you put it than KoToR.
Generally, developers have been simplifying games to appeal to more people, but they kinda need to to garner more sales.
