But yeah it sells cause people are addicted to dopamine so they need to kill or loot every minute they play or the game is "boring".
And what do you think is happening in your brain with a game designed how YOU want it?
If i want the game to be slower and the occurences of satisfaction and rewards are therefore more spaced out.... Less dopamine ? Idk what you are implying there.
Everything you're doing is still for the dopamine. You just like it slightly different than others. Pretending that people are somehow wrong because they enjoy different levels/frequency of dopamine hits is silly.
Lol what? I never said people were wrong. Larian's style caters more to the casual audience that is used to dopamine-heavy activities like scrolling social media, mobile gacha games, or even most modern games in general. You said it yourself : "Some people simply like the theme park style of map design. They don't want to have a realistic feeling, performance friendly map. they want to walk for 10 seconds, and have something interesting happen, or something interesting to see.".
Yes I would've liked it better if Larian went a different route. That doesnt mean everyone else is WRONG. Like, if I don't like mushrooms I don't think people liking mushrooms are wrong, I just dont like it myself. People like what they like.
