    So realistic. I also forget protagonist’s abilities if I take too long a break. I forget the story, too

      It’s also the asshole that made you watch a Monster add the whole game, while charging triple A prices.

    I need a game that gives me a summary of past notable story events and a quick “get back to speed” mini tutorial when I don’t play it for a long time, not this.

      Right. I remember playing final fantasy 7 in the 90s. I softlocked myself by being underpowered for a boss, but unable to grind.

      Turned it off, and when I turned it back on 5 years later, I was in a different area. No idea when/how J got there, but clearly I went back and did SOMETHING, but now had no idea where to go, or what to do.

      I’m not starting over, but also, I’m not going to figure this out.

      So now we’re 20 years later, and I have no idea where that memory card even is.

        Picked up Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story like 10 years later after giving up on it as a kid and had NO fucking idea of what I was doing. I remember bitching about the hard as fuck train minigame/mini-boss fight you have to do (perfectly, mind you) that I thought I couldn’t beat for the life of me. But I got back and was in a completely different area, not knowing how to leave or get back to where I needed to be.

        I really need to beat that game, it was my first M&L side game…

    Breaking 4th wall here. Just add this game to the list I avoid by this crazy bastard.

    Welp, fuck that. I already don’t like permadeath, why add decaying game progress? Fucking waste my damn time…

      Definitely not for all players. Depending on implementation, I could like this, but it needs to be almost like a mini tutorial to get you back in. Not a grind.

    This is the motion blur of gameplay design. I already forgot what the fucking buttons do, leave me alone
