It makes sense. After all, consoles have, and had particularly in the past, also complex and/or deep games, they managed to have them since they gained the ability to save games or resume them from checkpoints. But do devs and publishers always forget they tried this wannabe smart trick countless times and they just managed to make RPG fans furious, while earning very little interest from FPS ones? I got nothing against simple games, a simple game can still be great and bring a lot of fun. But a dumbed down game absolutely cannot. About the culprit, the publisher is always the main suspect for this shit... |
I don't think it should be considered dumbing down, however I'm not aware of 100% of the changes.
I think it's really removing something that is enjoyable because it's familiar vs. keeping an old mechanic that acts as a barrier to entry or is not used by some players.
