Uh what? No they didn't? You could completely ignore the "press me to win" button.

Unless your problem is that the option is there at all which... I mean... just ignore it

I think there are definitely some psychological factors in play which make a lot of people dislike those kind of "I win" buttons if they're always available. For example I feel like if a game had all of its unlockables and rewards available at any point by just clicking on them, as an alternative to earning them the normal way throughout the course of the game and by completing tough challenges and whatnot, the rewarding feeling of earning them the normal way would be almost completely gone for many even though you could obviously "just not click on them."

Being able to choose whether you want to have the option available to you or not at the start of the game or something similar is probably be the best solution if you want to please everyone. More than a few games do it like that already.

No, because people will just grumble, buy the games, and such practices will soon become commonplace. Same as it ever was. :unsmigghh:

I haven't been watching your Evil Within 1 because I wanted to get around to it myself, I just started it today.

This game is goddamn stupid as gently caress and I love it. It's like Michael Bay's Resident Evil 4, and RE4 was already Michael Bay as gently caress

It's been a long time since I played Last Window but I think there was a puzzle that required you to open a sealed part of the instruction manual, maybe it's got something to do with that (or it's probably just that guy's notes but there's an ingame journal you can draw on so idk what his deal is)

e: oh i didn't see the manual is right there, my post makes no sense

Donkey Kong Country Returns/Tropical Freeze had this and it was infuriating because it was like Nintendo was making fun of you for dying in this incredibly difficult videogame. So I'd add the stipulation that you can turn the feature off.

Tropical Freeze did not have any kind of Super Guide option that I can recall (unless you need to die like an absurd amount of times in order to trigger it).

Sebastian's "What the gently caress?" in the second chapter is my favorite line in the entire game. It is perfectly voice acted and I am so sad he is not voiced by Anson Mount in the sequel. That man has the absolute best deadpan curse word drops.

I hope you enjoy it, man, it's a goddamn good game. My advice to you is to play the first few chapters like it's The Last of Us. Too many people try to play it like RE and get curbstomped and run out of ammo, but if you sneak around and only shoot if you have to, it's a lot more fun.

Yeah, just looks like notes. I see the sealed puzzle in the manual though which I have already decided I'm too dumb to do.

seriously, that was the moment I was like "alright, I'm on board now". I admire just how much the game hates you with that first gameplay stealth section, too.

I like the boss runs because it gives me time to mentally recover from tilting

The one Nioh fight that's just a boss duel kind of proved that for me. There was a set of 40-50 deaths where I was just on autopilot and running into the room to die over and over because I was mentally fatigued to the breaking point

What really makes me lose it in Soulsborne games is when I mess up and die to one of the mooks that's on the way to the boss.

+1 to making all your shots count. I wasn't too starved for ammo throughout the game and when I was low, it was thrilling.
