The yellow paint thing never dawned on me. I'm so unplugged.
Went digging to read about it and then saw it was in Re4 remake (which I just played.) It just didn't register.
I get that it can be silly, but are people truly insulted that it is in the game? Or do they just want to *** and be part of a conversation online so they don't feel invisible?
A large part of the fun of these games is not knowing the way, exploring and all the possible things you have yet to find.
Then you see this:
Ok now I know I don't need to explore or look around, I just need to go right for that yellow and press A on it to move to the next area. To then find the next yellow blob and do the same.
It changes how you think about what you're doing. At least for me anyway, I was wandering around looking at everything and then I saw that paint and stopped doing that completely, cause if something was important they would have a neon sticker on it obviously. Just went right to it and moved along to the next bit.
they put this yellow crap around because of streamers, and I get why they do that. audiences will get bored if the person gets lost for 5-10 minutes, it's ok for players to get lost and explore though. Devs seem to have forgotten that.
