Lets just put it this way, they don't make games like they use to.

A number of games will be to a certain extent but not all, saying that i've been gaming since I was 13 (30 now) and a number of games seem too easy because they all follow a similar formula that gamers have had years to perfect. How do you know were just not getting smarter in our old age 😉

This. BEST games were between 1995 to mid 2000....
Soon after that they went downhill, there have been VERY few decent releases.

At least it didn't take them the better part of a decade to admit it. Oh wait, my mistake.

I don't think all games are easier, but I do think most single players are WAY shorter than they used to be.
Most games I've played lately have been 10 hours TOPS to complete... contrast that to 40+ hours in the past its a bit sucky!

The games are okay, being multiplatform imposes its restrictions. What irritates me is the over emphasis of multiplayer.

Just look at world of tanks, that travesty pretty much plays you...awful!
Games are being made so easy to play that nothing is left for the player to do.

I miss single player games with a great story to it and puzzles mixed with combat, etc. The last decent game with that had to of been Alice Madness Returns for me.

Best games seem to come from indie developers as of late in terms of gameplay / difficulty and well ideas.

Come on face it...people want dumbed down games.
They want regen health they want to make it passed the next level without even trying even auto aim they want...if not they would not break records every time a new game comes out that has these features.
i heard 1 or 2 people not buy games that had these features and to top it all off if anyone does go on a rant about it they are squashed down as game haters.
gamers are like drug addicts...they take and use what you have no matter how good or bad

P.S. Dark Souls is a real hardcore game, it's like a capricious whore. Gameplay is a narcotic. Japs made a great game, but PC port is a total mess without mods. Anyway with mods it plays real nice!

I remember the days when you had 3 lives and no save game. They just send u in the wild and you do your best to survive 😀
