It Wandered In From the Wastes
When you would go insane with frustration after wandering around aimlessly wondering what the hell to do next?
Before online FAQs, or blatant map pointers in the game that tell you EXACTLY WHERE TO GO, you just kept playing until you figured it out. Is this an improvement in time economy? Or does it take away from the game?
I use Gamefly to play new games now, and they don't come with instructions (which sucks) so I go online to look up basic controls if they weren't covered in the mandatory 'memorize a bunch of buttons and menu systems' mission. Or I just forget. Either way, there's a million FAQs up for every game and it seems so pointless to wander around and get pissed off. But I can't bring myself to look at them, because then it's like.... pointless. No discovery.
Any body have thoughts on this?
