Some of us like complex games.

I sometimes even wish the black/white buttons from the original Xbox controller stayed around because 6 face buttons is something I'd have liked to be standard.

Anyway, after reading the OP I just have to say: Stay far away from PC games. A game like Dota needs to be complex, and the incredible control you see with the pro gamers is something to behold - high skilled, high paced tactical war.

From reading your OP I'd say you should really get a Wii U. Different platforms cater to different audiences, and you sound 100% like the type of person that would love what Nintendo has to offer.


And those some are in the minority but parade around making it like that is law. There is an estimated near billion gamers and the VERY small percentage of pro gamers is a site but developers develop to reach a broad audience.


Wow. Ok.

Well those "billion" gamers mostly play around with crappy little simpleton games on their phones, and none of them frequent videogame websites.

But if you don't want complicated games then be my guest - there are tons of games for you out there. And you may think they are better, but the people with more gaming experience think differently.

I'm not talking about "pro gamers", don't put words into my mouth. Here's an analogy that you might understand: You go to a village that has no contact with the outside world. There are some kids there with skateboards, but of course they hardly scratch the surface of what's possible. In order to give them a striking, broad idea of what is possible, you show them a video of Rodney Mulen going berserk. This is done to make them understand that there is so much more to it than what they know. That is why I used the example of pro gamers - NOT to insinuate that they somehow represented any type of significant market.

Again; You want to play games with no inherent complexity - fine. I love playing "pure" games like Mario Galaxy and Indie games like Super Meat Boy and (check my sig) Broforce, but sometimes I really, really like the deep complexity of other games. Even a game such as Fifa would lose A LOT of it's depth if it was dumbed down for people who can't remember that they should hold L1 while lobbing to make a chipped lob etc. etc. It's complex.

But (most) humans are able to process complex things. So...

"And those some are in the minority but parade around making it like that is law"

If you say this, then I say: Don't parade around like your opinion is in any way better the opposite. If you come into a videogame website with people that have clocked THOUSANDS of hours on JRPGS and whatnot, then your attempts to hail Knack and Ryse as anything more than average games will absolutely fail.

Are you still reading?

Furthermore, I disagree with almost everything in your OP. But I tried to say it in a nice way.
