Edge Magazine - Assassin's Creed III devs: "Easy mode often ruins games".
"It’s like if I picked up a book and it said, 'Do you want the easy version or the complicated version?' [Game designers] can simplify the language, you know; we can make it two syllables."
Kotaku - Easy Modes Can Ruin Games? Um, No. Thanks nin.
It' just baffling to see that, in the year 2012, there are still people in the video game industry who approach things as though this was the 1980s, and the only games on the market were there to test you. If I don't have to pass a test just to turn a page in a book, or reach the second act of a movie, I shouldn't have to in a story-rich video game either.

you get people that can regularly go 4:1 K:D and people that regularly go 1:5 K:D. Skill is still very much alive in multiplayer.
Relatively it is of course but overall it has gone way down. Had some friends hop in CS:GO that haven't played since probably '01/'02 and have spent most of the time playing MMOs, MOBAs and F2Ps in the meantime, these guys have no business beating anyone in an FPS and yet they were regularly in the top 1/4 of the scoreboard. Which of course prompts the question, "Why the hell are the majority of players so bad these days?" And the only thing I can think of is coddling by developers. Anecdotal of course but it's something that's been bothering me for years now. |
