stingray Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Are hardcore gamers on the decline? Maybe the true gold lies with the casual gamers after all. Dropping the so-called fanbase seems to be more and more the way of the future, if you want to make a serious buck that is. Principles don't really pay the bills.

scrapilot Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Console and popular shooter games get old real fast, except Battlefield 2. Popular shooters are linear and all the same. They are trail and errish and only mildly fun compared to simulations. In other words, skills learned in these games are part specific with no feeling that perfected tactics will get you through disimilar levels. Battlefield 2 has no levels which is why I like it. Simulations are the only games that make you feel you have experienced something lasting as opposed to feeling you have just passed time. This is because simulations are interesting and not just fun. You also play a fluid battle as opposed to just levels. You lose simulations because of dificient tactics, not because you don't know the game. Indy developers bring lasting excitement because they bring imagination that is believable and scientific. Mainstream games are worth a gloss over at most.
