Some old school games are extremely fun.
just because you don't necessarily enjoy them doesn't mean that no one is allowed to enjoy them. If you don't like learning things through trial and error, that's fine. No one is asking you too. But you don't have to play this game either. It's completely unreasonable to expect a studio to make a game exclusively for you.
Wait? Where did I say that I don't like old-school games? I also wasn't asking to completely change the game design and catering to casuals or whatever. I was asking for what I think good (in that case even better) game design would be and I asked for more possibilites for different kind of people. I gave feedback based on my own experiences and I try to find the words why I think so. I don't think I have to justify myself for that to anyone here tbh...
If you really want to discuss the topic seriously, please go into each point and don't make some bland generalizations and accusations in my direction...
If every game was made with your exact criteria we'd have a pretty boring world, just the same if every game was made with my criteria. Thankfully they aren't, and I like the variety of games that exist out there.
What is my exact criteria?
I wasn't replying to your original post, sorry it's not readily apparent on this board's layout.
Artemis#### was complaining about old school games being terrible and I was offended by that comment.
As for my modding comment, there was a request for an in game note pad sort of thing and someone wrote how hard can that be.
Horrorscope saying "just categorize it" as if renormalizing a database and changing all the corresponding methods in the implementation layer is just a couple seconds of effort, reminds me of the pointy haired boss in Dilbert
As for your suggestions I feel neutral. Some points are nice, but since I don't know how the engine is built, I don't know how feasible they are to implement. They would be nice for sure if the devs can get to it. Others I disagree with but since this is your wish list, I have no urge to rain on your parade.
