what's the most intuitive game ever made? as in,, if you made a 5 year old from subsaharan africa/victorian england play it, he'll instantly pick up the mechanics
Kneel.
>>724233539You just posted it. SMB is a masterclass in game design.
>>724233539Sonic the Hedgehog is way more intuitive than this piece of shit. However, a child could not easily grasp it because it is also very complex.

>>724233539>AfricaGTA San Andreas.A nigger will figure out immediately that stealing a bicycle is the first thing you can do.
>>724233539I live in East Europe. At my gaming caffe, a 12 year old gypsy kid got a gladiator title in WoW on a legit EU server (not those private pay to win for gear ones).So probably WoW.
>>724233684my grandma is has zero grasp of how to use electronic devices(like she can't even find youtube on her smartphone) so i tried teach her by making her play mario and she immediately got stuck>she didn't understand what arrow keys ARE>she doesn't realise that she's supposed to go right>she didn't understand you could jump in a direction>she couldn't figure out that you have to hold direction buttons to keep walking>she couldn't underatand why she kept "loosing" when she came in contact with a goomba>she couldn't figure out stomping a goomba killed it even when i told her>she couldn't recognise the ? sign even when i told her its there>she didn't realise falling off a cliff killed youand got stuck in the first area for 30 min.intuitive level design my ass
>>724233539There are no intuitive games. Every single videogame is trial and error. This is why Souls games are so successful.
Monkey Ball Arcadea single button and a single stick
>>724234246>marior>arrow keys??????????????????????????????????
>>724234246your grandma is just flirting with you
>>724234661used one of those websites on pc
>>724233539>a 5 year old from subsaharan africa/victorian englandNothing beyond very rudimentary Pong machines or something in that ballpark, because everything that came after implicitly requires you to understand some non written rules of how videogames are supposed to be engaged withEven early Atari is too advanced for your request, it requires a level of technological language abstraction that can only result after what was at the time a decade of videogames developing on their own as a medium with its own rules
>>724235276so how do gen a toddlers learn vidya?
>>724235542In English please
>>724235542their parents knew
>>724234246she probably gets calls from a guy with an indian accent named "peter" who tells her that her bank needs google play cards and she believes it
>>724234246>>724233539This is an extreme example but people overestimate how intuitive this game is and perhaps underestimate how much they learned from other people or publications/internet. In the late 2000s I found some older people who had a NES and still occasionally played it, they and their kids never realized hold B to run and jump further.
>launch the sequel>try to use the core game mechanic by jumping on an enemy>instantly diewhat the fuck
>>724233539Has to be Tetris doesn’t it? Unless you’re a complete retard. Who doesn’t know right and left
>>724237939Most puzzle games use 1 button and left/right with basically one mechanic needed to win, so most would qualify?
>>724234246If she couldn't see the question mark perhaps you need to check her glassesOverall ur grandma sounds kinda dumb bro. MY grandma who has passed on a few years back at 97 understood "go right" means progression.
>>724237413All is forgiven for that banger theme
>>724234495In my experience most people don't understand that you are tilting the level itself, not controlling the monkey in the ball
>>724240975does this make much difference?
>>724241058If you're playing the later levels absolutely
>>724233539FF7 as long as they can read. It is perfectly designed to scale game mechanics over time in a seamless way and the flow keeps you stimulated.
>>724233684Tons of people didn't even know you could run
>>724241250LMAO
>>724241250The average idiot doesn't understand the depth of the materia system. Then they get to the claw monster or one of the weapons and get filtered.
>>724233539Flappy Bird. Doesn't get much simpler than that.
>>724233790Rolling when you press down while running, something absolutely essential to the game, has to be found through trial-and-error if you're not already aware of it.
>>724234246People who have fossilized in their tech illiteracy are not going to pick up any video game, no matter how intuitive. Especially one with real time gameplay. You're basically asking her to operate alien technology.
>>724237413You can jump on enemies and just stand on top of them. Literally nothing happens. What the fuck are you talking about?
