To get more people interested, games now use focus testing, insert hints into hints, show the way even in the most linear levels, set very short term objectives to the player. Yet, with all this, i feel, games not only fail to get more people interested, but make some people, who already love games, loose interest. I mean, sure, they do get easier to understand, more appealing to people, get more game elements and mechanics. Maybe they sell better (while still somehow failing with 3 million sales in the opening month). But i said interested. For a very long time I couldn’t understand quite why this happens. But it seems, I’ve got it now. As always in my posts, I’m speaking from my experience and my knowledge, telling my own opinions, but usually I find some support beforehand or write about some topic, I’ve seen discussed before. This time, what I write might be true only to me and some of my friends and I might be completely wrong in my assumptions. But let’s see, if whomever reads this can relate.
