I've been kind of warming up to consoles recently after playing them at friends places. I don't really see the dumbing down to be honest. I think you can point to specific games or franchises that are now less than what they were but I think that's more to due technological limitations than the intelligence of the audience. When I want a deep game to play, I just choose to play one. You don't need to play Halo and wrestling games if you don't want to. Likewise if Deus Ex 2 bothered you then no one is forcing you to play it.
Here's some examples of the console games I've enjoyed in the past few months. It's restricted to what my buddy owns since I don't have one myself.
Dead Rising - Great little zombie survival game. Graphically it's good, the gameplay depth is outstanding and the storyline is alright for a Japanese localized game. You're stuck in a massive mall, your player is a reporter trying to survive and discover what happened. It's also a game built from the ground up with replay in mind which I appreciated.
Saints Row 2 - I was shocked at how good this little game was. When I heard rap music in the intro I groaned but after watching my friend play for 30 minutes I was sold. It's another open world sandbox type title in the same style of Grand Theft Auto but much deeper than any GTA game I've played. I've heard there's a PC version but I've never seen it in stores and people don't say kind things about the port on here.
Tales of Vesperia - Let me preface this by saying I hate anime and JRPGs. This game still grabbed me somehow. It's JRPG through and through but the game has a ridiculous amount of depth and replay value. The storyline manages to break a lot of the usual JRPG cliches and there's even some genuine humor to be found. If more JRPGs were like this then I'd play less western style RPGs.
Infamous - I took a trip for a wedding and my local family there put me up, they had a Playstation 3. I was really surprised how great the graphics were and the parkour/combat were well done. It wasn't quite the fun I had with Prototype but it was fun in it's own way.
Battlefield 1943 - I went into this one expecting to hate it. In fact I hated it before I even played it just because I heard they removed some features that were in BF1942 which is one of my favorite games of all time. Surprisingly they removed mostly the crap I didn't really need in the first place. I had a lot of fun playing this on Xbox Live and the XBL experience in general was pretty good despite hearing many negative things about it from other PC gamers.
My friends have started to tease me about just getting a console of my own because I spend so much time playing theirs. I'm hesitant, I'm a PC gamer at heart but I must admit that there are fun and comparable experiences to games I've enjoyed on the PC. Sure there's a ton of shit on consoles but hell there's a ton of shit on PCs I don't like either.
I would need to register a new nickname on here though  |
