Splinter Cell Conviction: Not a stealth game. Not negotiable. Ghost Recon: Went from a tactical game to another Call of Duty clone starting with advanced warfighter. The upcoming Hitman: It's a re-skinned Conviction, yet another series ruined by casuals. Rainbow Six: Went down hill after Raven Shield and the terrible Vegas games. The planning was removed because casuals are too stupid and ADHD to deal with it. Doom 3: Lost the pacing of the others. Became just another corridor shooter with cheap jump scares that failed to even scare you. Level complexity gone to cater to brain dead casuals along with secrets. Deus Ex HR: Removed a lot of complexity, shoe horned boss fights, went out of it's way to encourage a half-assed stealth approach Empire Total War: Utterly broken mess that remains that way today. Diablo 3: Pay2win korean cartoony game Dawn of War 2: Removed any sort of complexity, lost the feel of the WH40k, encourages cheese, no actual fighting, just a game of whack-a-mole. Starcraft 2: Based entirely around rushing. Empire Earth 3: Ditched the great things about the first game to dumb it down. Quake 4: Once again, pacing ruined and turned into a casual disaster. Also lost all the secret areas and map complexity. Bad Company 1/2, Battlefield 3: Ditched the strategy required in previous titles, consistently got rid of features, doesn't support modding, still using punkbuster. Civilization 5: A lot of the complexity removed, dlc everywhere, no mod support so they don't have to compete with dedicated modders who aren't in it for the money Every Call of Duty after 2: Self Explanatory Cliffs of Dover: Still utterly broken, much of the realism is gone. Sniper Elite V2: Corridor shooter with bullet cam. Elder Scrolls: Consistently dumbed down. Ruined Magic. No proper mod support and you can't add in new behaviors because the planned DLC would already be done by mod creators. Resident Evil: Self Explanatory. Went from zombies to tentacle monsters. No actual concerns about surviving. Always have plenty of resources, even on hardest difficulty. Microsoft Flight: The simulation is gone. But, at least there are far superior alternatives. Sim City: Sim City 4 was an incredibly complex game. Once again, casuals can't handle complexity because they don't apply themselves in life. Jagged Alliance Back in Action: Dumbed down, a lot of removed features. Homeworld 2: Much of the complexity was removed. Though mods do fix this. Sword of the Stars 2: Didn't learn from their mistakes. Stronghold 2 and 3: What made the first one and crusader great was gone along with any sort of passion. Both are incredibly buggy and lackluster. Crysis 2: Casual mess. The open ended nature, graphical quality made for gamers, skill based gameplay, excellent power set up down to selection, enemies, and atmosphere were gone and became a generic super soldier game. Command and Conquer 3/4/RA3: Units removed because the engine couldn't handle it, dumbed down, lost the feel and atmosphere of the previous games, especially with cutscenes. At least the casuals can't ruin grand strategy and rougelikes. Of course, now that I say that they somehow will.
