Random battles Random battles are just potentialy annoying for nearly no benefit. Especially when they are just insanely repetitive like Zubats in a cave. When 30 minutes of exploring a cave ends up with fighting 30 zubats, it's just frustrating. It also doesn't help that they come out of nowhere like a bad jump scare. Your control over them is minimal, and if you are unlucky you just finished some annoying fight, only to start another annoying fight after 5 steps. QTEs. They are just... what's the use of it? They are quite literally "Press X to win". If they happen within a fight they can be fine (like, boss just grapped you, mash X to escape, or 50% phase transition happend) but if they happen in a normal cutscene, their greatest impact is that they just made a cutscene unskippable. It also doesn't help that they just feel... primitive. You are not supposed to fail QTEs in the first place, and if you fail, it's simply because they got you by surprise the first time. There is simply no satisfaction if you beat a QTE, in the worst case they just punish you for being distracted during something you thought was a harmless cinematic. No gain, only pain. "Handholding" - Eh, that could be anything, and is the hardest to explain or justify as a valid complain. That's something that has to be judged case-by-case for sure. --- Planning is the process of replacing chance with error. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
