video games
slowly realizing I really enjoy and need fixed storyline games over open world games
which I kinda already knew, but I was watching an old polygon video about FFCC and he was complaining about the rail-like feeling of the game and I completely disagree?
you get to wander around the map with fun lil random interactions in between! (tl;dr no random encounter grinding other, hurrah!)
to me, someone who loves this game and has played it a lot, the levels feel more like hiking trails
re: video games
I don't mind open world games when the price tag is free like FF14 or Genshin, because I don't feel guilty for just exploring & not advancing
but I had decision paralysis the second the Skyrim plot started up for real, I had never played an Obsidian game & it was too much
I'm too afraid to even touch BOTW because I'm scared I'll skip over some fan-favorite scene by accident or soft lock myself
it's just too much for me, I play games as a fun escapism, not Homework Simulators
