I have a major beef with games being watered down due to their development on consoles as opposed to being developed on PC. They have a different audience in mind and develop their games according. Not that they aren't great games all their own, they have IMO without exception been watered down versions of what they could have been.

Deus Ex 2 was a great example of this. The sequel to one of the greatest PC games of all time. While not an awful game.. suffered in level design and overall content and gameplay to appease the trigger happy ADD generation (ie the mindless masses) In my eyes this has been true for every console game that could have been developed on PC, or should have been. With console gamers as a main focus, we get further and further from the depth that could be attainable in exchange for minimized experiences suited for the short playing bursts that happen on consoles.

Anyways, Intrepid is right.. im a bitter old man.
