Why would someone buy a movie that they would never see the end of? Every company is trying to be more accessable to the consumer. It's not about skill anymore. Nowadays, the industry is about graphics, play control, community, and innovation. With the exception of graphics, the Wii is arguably the total package. |
I agree, most games no longer require that extra level of skill few have to be complated, games are designed so almost anyone can complete them.
I guess teens and those in their early 20s label themselves 'hardcore gamers' because tehy have known no different and they presume the games they complete are somehow difficult, when in fact they are not.
People seem to have a short attention span and no patience these days, so I guess if they made the games too difficult they would not have mass appeal and therefore get less sales.
There are very few games out there that require more than a basic to average skill level, the last one I personally found difficult (although it would be called casual because of its type) was Mercury Meltdown Revolution.
