Jesus Christ. I hate it. So so much.
replyI've never been able to put my thumb on it, and I just chalked it up to me being older now, but I'm not a big fan of a lot of games. And this video opened the curtains as to why. Just so much hand holding and noise.
Did you like Myst? That was the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
replyTitle screen video gives a vague story. Game starts. No dialog. No text. Just ... clicking and discovering the rest of the story.
I fucking loved that game. That and the Dr. Brain games define my childhood. Oh and gizmos and gadgets. And Commander Keen. And Descent. And Hillsfar. And Deathtrack.
replyBut also yes, I did enjoy Myst. It's also what I enjoyed about Minecraft when it first came out. You just had to figure your shit out or get killed by zombies.
I don't remember which game it was, but I'm pretty sure it was a ubisoft game, maybe AC3, where it felt so much like a tutorial that I spent the entire game wondering when I'd get out of the tutorial and onto the real game.
replyIt ruined the game for me, because I never felt like I was let free to actually play the game.
