Nobody is telling you you can’t have those preferences. But when someone makes a statement like the game doesn’t respect your time, you’re opening it up to debate. The game makes no allusions to what it is, so like I said you have to meet it on its terms. You can say you don’t like it, but if you buy Tetris knowing it’s a game that you try to clear lines in and you’re saying it doesn’t respect your time cuz you want to clear cubes, maybe that’s on you. (I know biggie made that claim I’m just explaining why we responded).

None of what I'm about to say is groundbreaking, it's said much better than I ever could in other articles / blurbs across the web, but I think it's a big reason Dark Souls was such a hit. We had gotten so homogenous in terms of quest / mission design in games, to the point where it felt like game makers didn't respect our ability to figure out harder problems without holding our hand. Or didn't want us to miss some cool part of the game that they worked so hard on so that they needed to make absolute certainly we wouldn't miss it. Many people look back on Morrowind so fondly because it encouraged you to figure that shit out, and you had to get there. We made this world, there are some ways to get through it a bit faster, but THIS is the game. You're going from place to place encountering stuff, getting side tracked, maybe you don't fuckin make it cuz you shouldn't have gone there or you weren't as well prepared as you shoulda been or what have you. Those have been my favorite games over the last 10 years or so. Design your game so I don't have a choice - I have to engage with the world / combat / whatever and I can't cheese my way out of it very easy. Cuz I'm stupid like that. I think I would like Skyrim more if I couldn't fast travel - or if it was way more limited. But if it's in there, I'm gonna use it. Save me from myself.

I wouldn’t say this. I’ve laid out some complaints with the game but you also have to meet the game on its terms. It’s not excessively obtuse and if you want to mainline the game it’s actually very straightforward. I have limited time to play games but I love a game that makes me engage with it rather than give me a specific go here do this for the entire premise.

Well I don’t think this announcement would be much interest to you if you want to play it on the deck .

Sooner than I thought. I wonder if the delay had anything to do with the show… Anyway I’m actually kinda super stoked about this.
