a game with a simple storyline and simple gameplay along with a 6+ game reputation equals mass popularity. i'm not saying that it's a bad game. i'm saying that it looks extremely similar to the first game and is terribly overrated. i'd rather play something else, and a little more complex. it's too repetitive for me
As technology becomes more complex many companies create systems I consider to be "idiot proof." Systems that are viewed as "user friendly" or "hassle-free" allow easy surfing for the general public but turn the more advanced user's experience into a living representation of hell. I tried using a Mac. Nope. All aesthetics, no computing power, and turns everything more advanced than running an application into a long endeavor. You still can, it will just take you longer to do so. Those who are left behind when it comes to more complex tasks don't understand the language of the modern OS seem to take the bait. Consolidation is the future. Everything will be smaller, compact, and more convenient, but at the same time slightly less effective. The [windows-running] PC will never die for those who know (a laptop is a PC too!).
