the cure to that, is to play skyrim on pc. Bethesda, despite some personal grievances, I love for supporting the modding community. I added another full sized games worth of fan made content to oblivion all for free.

this kinda thing is going to make skyrim suck eventually when you dont want to pay every other month for a new map.
I would have to say that gaming has been lowering the IQ bar of people since Doom fell of the map. By offering no mental challenge other than pressing a button, the brain tends to be frozen in time, and it stays stagnant even after the game is over.
ps - I realize Red Dead Redemption is not an FPS, I threw it in there because it's an genius game with awesome competitive play.

There was absolutely no skill or anything needed to complete this game.
Go play some old games and you will see the difference.

Love that series,
however, it has seemed to be dumbed down a bit from the original (as in treasure maps/flag locations are given)..maybe because it's not "new" any more and I know what to do

This "no skill" bs has to stop, no company would ever be profitable if it released games that only 10% of the population could complete or were so difficult that it took more time than people can or will invest in it. I won't argue that games aren't becoming easier, because they are; but get off your high-horse. "No skill" is such a complete and utter exaggeration.
