I wouldn't call Call of Duty 4 an ultra dumbed down game. It's the best action game to have come out in a long time.

Seems like they're crushing any hope of a proper Deus Ex sequel fast, going the bethsoft route and taking only the setting of the original before making a cookie cutter shooter with stats out of it.

when I was a kid I often played complicated games without ever reading a manual or looking up information. I just learned on my own, and I loved learning how to figure it all out. I don't think kids today would have a problem with it if they weren't so used to dumb games.
also, it's the whole thing with graphics. I love nice graphics. I think it's great how graphics in games have evolved. but unfortunately they've become the most important part of the games and developers settle with smaller and simplified games so they can concentrate on good graphics and other gimmicks.
Problem is Bioshock 2, Bioshock 3 and Bioshock movie are planned... with no mention of a System Shock sequel. A dumbed down spiritual successor can derail a series as much as a dumbed down sequel, if it's well recieved enough (and certainly Bioshock had a lot more market success than the System Shocks).TheRatKing said:Yeah except Bioshock was just the spiritual successor of SS2, while Deus Ex 3 is the direct sequel, kinda reminds me of a similar game that could have been a spin off or a spiritual successor, but became a direct sequel, with a completely different twist on game play.
You should try multiplayer, it gives you a much better return on your investment.Lexx said:CoD4 has some great moments but I never felt like playing it again - And I only needed approx 2 days to finish it. So I spend 50 bucks for 2 days and it seems like I will never play it again.
