Modern gamers need quest markers
>>
I need them. I need to hoooooondred percent it. How can I say I beat the game if I don't hooooooondred percent it? I must hooooondred percent at all costs.

I found him, hes on the right.
>>
>>748150306
I can't find him, can I get a yellow marker, a blue fart gas trail, and a pulsing beacon visible through walls and objects?
>>
>>748150306
Where's the scent line that shows me how to find him and the backup UI indicator that shows me the scent line is a mechanic that shows me the path to find him and the back up support UI indicator that highlights him if I take more than four seconds to find him and the auxiliary backup support UI indicator that tells me my semen is low?

I found it on my first playthrough, blind. I don't see what the issue is.

>>748150306
Quest markers and yellow paint seem a sensible response to all the extra detail onscreen in modern games, at least in moderation
>>
modern games need quest markers because they are shit and unengaging and nobody cares about them enough that treating them like anything but an ubishit checkbox simulator is tollerable
>>
>>748150857
OAAGH I'M GONNA PLATINUUUM AAAAH

>>748152528
Not quite. It's because "muh realism" made it so that intuitive and non-intrusive audiovisual cues became more difficult to achieve with the death of stylization. Or in other words, it's a consequence of UEslop.
>>
>>748150306
maybe they wouldn't need them if quests and maps were made with other forms of navigation in mind? devs are to blame here too, easier to just slap a GPS line on the map than write good dialogue where the quest giver tells you to head east over the bridge and to then ask Ballfondler III in the inn there for further directions, even moreso when everything has to be voice acted.
>>

>follows the yellow paint EXACTLY and walks off the sofa
WOOOOOOOOOW HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT JUST LEAD ME TO A BOTTOMLESS PIT
>>
>>748152643
Large part is because level designers have less control over the player in open world. You don't know where the palyer is approaching the obstacle and whether it's his first or hundreth dungeon.
>>
>>748152528
I do not really see the big deal either especially for something like Wolverine that is just a linear game leading you from set piece to set piece. It’s like complaining about the “go forward” arrow in 2d beat em ups when you kill all the enemies

Has nothing to do with gamers. Quest markers and yellow paint are made to accommodate bad developer management and outsourcing.
Anything that's not systemic or immediately understood by 55 IQ retards is going to get constantly overwritten and would require far more test cases.
Yellow paint and quest markers are needed for any team with more than 20ish people (outsourcing included) and consultants/approval boards/overenthusiastic CEOs.
>>748152528
It isn't. You can teach a player to respond to anything if you're diligent about it. A Jew can hear a shekel drop in New York traffic. The problem is that modern post-2002 games just aren't planned out enough.
>>748152643
This is only the case if functional and non-functional assets look the same AKA the result of asset store copypaste.
>>
>>748152768
Why do retards like you insist on conflating the "all the enemies are dead and you can move again" arrow with the shit like the Wolverine fart trail? They don't even serve the same function, not unless you're dumb enough to not understand that you're supposed to be going right in a beat-em-up (which might be a problem for you, to be fair). It's not telling you to go right, it's letting you know that nothing else is gonna spawn and that you CAN move again, both of which are relevant in a format that lacks other ways to communicate this information. Yellow paint and fart clouds only exist because the devs are lazy or incompetent or because they think their players are retarded.
>>
>>748153896
The right arrow only exists because the devs were too lazy/incompetent to naturally communicate that no more enemies will spawn, it’s immersion breaking and they should have come up with a better way
>>
>>748150306
gaming companies are mostly braindead woke cumskins who make shit primarily for cumskins in u.s like them bcs of petrodollar. the games made are for retarded blue haired moms, fat losers and troons. and they like wolverine type subway surfers slop

>>748154954
And for good reason, since it was only used to indicate that an invisible wall had been removed and you could now exit the current screen. It was never used in games that always let you keep moving, like Super Mario or Sonic

All jokes aside, a lot of this stuff is from arcade cabinet games that were usually played by dumb kids. As a dev, you wouldn't want one player to hog the machine for too long.

the problem being mocked is how normalfags will consider 100% completion of baby daycare shit to be equivalent to getting all the achievements in an actually challenging game and devs are all too happy to accommodate this mindset
