How do you restore the sense of mystery in gaming?The internet is always 0.2 seconds away and I can look up anything there.

This lies solely on the devs. Nobody bothers even trying to make video games mysterious anymore or have secrets. RE9 kind of did with a batshit throwback mega-puzzle full of schizo clues but that is exceedingly rare these days.
>>736426909>and I can look up anything there.....just don't?What kind of weak willed niggerfaggot are you?
>>736426909Sometimes I wonder if being an adult just means everything has to be done to optimise time. When I was a kid I never did this shit but as an adult I do it all the time.
>>736427057yeah, maybe kids are more likely to wander and explore and adults are like.. must take most efficient route possible
>>736427290I think it's because it's hard to see games as more than just things that need to be solved. But if I travel to a new country, I will often just walk in random directions to check places out, without needing to optimise.
>>736426909stop making games for PC everything is datamined by PCNigs weeks before a game launches and the story and mechanics are leaked before anyone can enjoyalso don't publish any guides for at least 6 months after launch
>>736428128why would that help, most pokemon games are fully datamined before release and masuda would rather paint the interior of mori tower with his brains than release software on a non-handheld system
>>736426909>The internet is always 0.2 seconds away and I can look up anything there.That's a (you) problem. Ruining the game for yourself isn't something developers can solve for you.
>>736426909The eldensouls games have it down perfect, just be vague and non descriptive about literally everything in your game. Explain absolutely nothing about the characters, environment or its history outside of weapons and gear. Maybe a bit of dialogue from an NPC. At no point is anything in the environment explained beyond a passing statement in a weapon description. It’s never explained why we can see the stars underground, or who the giant skeletons on the thrones are, but it’s cool and it makes you wonder. Watching these autistic trannies on youtube make careers out of interpreting item descriptions 40 minutes at a time is hilarious. The story is retarded by design, it’s not supposed to make sense or explain anything meaningful because thats what makes everything mysterious. With some pedantic autist trying to explain away everything interesting the mystery is ruined. Why are you speculating the intentions of an obscure NPC based on cut lines from the japanese version anyway? Just use your imagination and play the fucking game.
