Topic	What's a worse game mechanic?
deoxxys 05/06/24 8:38:45 PM #45:	NoxObscuras posted... I actually hate this trend in more recent games where there's no minimap or gps. Just have to use landmarks to find your way around this 50mi map. If it was an option that could be turned on and off then I wouldn't mind. But I hate not having those options. I want to be able to just turn my brain off sometimes after a long day of work. thisworld posted... No way! I'm not a casual but I'm also not a 13 years old with unlimited free time anymore. I want to turn off my brain after irl shit and just enjoy the game. Definitely don't want/need a second job charting a massive in-game map. Here's the crazy thing, we don't need massive maps. All they do is waste your time making giant maps full of nothing where most of your time is spent traveling. Carefully constructed worlds and environments where you can encounter lots of different things in a compact space is king! I don't know why ever since 3D was invented people have the obsession with making massive worlds. Simply just having a big world isn't better. Banjo Kazooie, Dark Souls, Outer Wilds are all great examples of well-constructed worlds focused on the spectacle of their individual designs. --- twylite sprinkle http://tinyurl.com/jeqyas3 https://tinyurl.com/mgvx7h2 <cite>deoxxys posted [p:980273294] in What's a w...
