These are interesting thanks for linking them!


I have changed my username from Justin Long Fanatic to EricChristianOlsenFanatic, so Justin Long Fanatic is my old name on this site, and EricChristianOlsenFanatic is my new one.

Re: Bring back mystery and self discovery in video games

Rangerofthilien you are correct. I mean having a tutorial for how to play a game is grand but there should be the chance for the player to Expirience it themselves see things and do things by themselves.

Everything today is accessible and very easy to use. It's good and bad at the same time. That's why I simply go back to my old games- for instance, even Spyro. It's fun.

Re: Bring back mystery and self discovery in video games

I agree wholeheartedly. This is why I loved older games and series' like Metroid and Dark Souls. Some games do it well, while others shove tutorials and hints down your throat like you don't have a brain. I'll definitely watch those videos on a slow day at work, then I might have more to contribute to the topic.

I've been pleasantly surprised by Breath of the Wild so far though! It's a very hands-off experience, which is a vast departure from hand-holdy Skyward Sword (Fi got on my nerves really fast). BotW is so open and fleshed out it gives me the same feeling of being outside and exploring nature, which is awesome.
