   What was the reasoning behind stripping it of all the RPG elements and reducing it to an FPS
   The console could have easily ran the whole original game.

   Did you play it? That interface was kind of painful with a mouse, would have been hellish with a D-pad

   Yes ... which is why I made this thread.
   Why did they reduce the game from an open and lush RPG to a hallway shooter.

   Nah I don't do that. I remember every game I've ever played in exquisite detail. I only play the best and most intelligent games. Never played 'dos ex'

    The greatest games released were exclusive to consoles.
    PC gaming is objectively garbage and is basically the electronic equivalent of a bunch of overweight losers playing table top games in their basement.

    and then you have games like Eternal Sonata, Soul Calibur series, Tekken, Gran Turismo, Disaster Report, Mario series, animal crossing series, Final Fantasy etc etc etc
    
    The greatest games ever made are either exclusively released on consoles or are console first and then the devs release a shitty port for pc kiddies later on.
    You cannot refute this.
    Now go jerk off to your shitty RTS games and mmos.

    I actually feel sorry for pc gamers, they don't have hardly anything worthwhile or interesting to play.
