| RolStoppable said: Nowadays when I play a bad, boring or unchallenging game like Dirt 2 or Dead Space Extraction (both on Wii), I start to think of it as "casual game". "What a stupid and dumb game this is. What were they thinking?" I don't think that I am alone with this line of thinking. I am also pretty sure that many people use the term "casual games" deliberately to direct an insult towards someone else without it coming off as an insult. Stealth trolling so to say. How about you? What does "casual games" mean to you? |
You played Dirt 2 on the wii? It was really bad on the wii. Casual games are "dumb down" but that doesn't mean people who play them are retard or are not fun. Mario Kart wii physics are seriously "dumb down" compared to GT5,FM3, or even Dirt 2 (on anything but the wii). Then you have Iracing which is a very hardcore sim yet it will not sell anywhere near console racing games.
A hardcore gamer can have fun with both casual and hardcore games but the opposite is not true. (I've have race everything from MK to Iracing) I don't see why anyone be offended the fact Wii is aiming more toward casual gamers and children. Why try to deny what made Wii a success.
P.S by the way Dirt 2 physics leans a lot toward arcade compared to the older Colin McRae series. They did this to make it more casual. The best rally racing sim is Richard Burns Rally which is now 6 years old.
