Your referal to PC gaming becoming "superficial".
This was after the death of 'The manual' -or more to the point the dev's/publishers killed off complex gaming for cost reasons and switched to DVD boxes with an addendum in them, sorry, manual.
Besides, it's the dev's choice to 'dumb down' a true PC game, look at the joke that was Deus Ex: Invisible War. Warren Spector's baby whom he murdered, the resulting poor sales were nothing but their own fault.
You can't blame consoles, it's the dev's choice to make a game with a fantastic story/plot. You don't need a million keyboard buttons to make a good game, just a dedicated developer. Nowadays it's like life, everyone wants the easy route to make money. That easy route is an SDK or A to B.
Saying that, there are some very,very good -original- titles on console. But like the whole subject it's subjective  |

Good point, Stumpus. 
On that point would then be that a games complexity in it self is very superficial and is at the hand of its maker to do what he deems suitable.
Food for thought: the PC is one of many platforms forming a not so homogeneous market - which is good. Why? Since over two decades of electronic entertainment have proved a few interesting things: certain types of games work best on certain types of platform. I prefer sitting in my chair, glaring at the TV with a controller in my hand for my RPGs, while MMO or FPS games - as general rule of thumb, works smoother on the PC.
If PC is dieing as platform of games - which seems a bit subjective at the moment, it's not at the hand of a device like the Wii. |
