So you've replaced yellow paint with yellow paint button? Get this man to Ubisoft right now.

So paint, just not yellow.

Just a little arrow on the HUD is good enough.

>>737575220
Magically highlighted objects are implied to only appear as such to the player. They're not really part of the game world, they're part of the layer between the game and you, the player, just like a HUD. They don't break immersion, because they don't pretend to be part of the world. Yellow paint with nearby paint buckets tipped over implies an in-game painter who precedes you in all locations of the game to slather random objects in paint to help you, the protagonist.

Marginally so I'd say

Why do we need a solution?
Just let retards get lost
Who the fuck cares? They already bought the game.

>>737575983
Man, you must really hate video games
>>
>>737575983
The crates and barrels aren't magic, just the way they're easily visually distinguishable from other wooden surfaces. It's no different than a minimap, waypoints, or a health bar. It's part of the UI, not a diagetic element.

You've never gotten stuck in a videogame before? Check it out everyone, the golden god has arrived, roll out the red carpet lads we've got a real special boy here with us tonight

the simple solution is to not make drooling retards your main audience
mini bamham pulses were the perfect inbetween but i guess they fell out of fashion because i guess the average retard immediately forgot what button to press to trigger it

>>737572353
Unc take: design the game well so you don't need a fucking guide to find what you're meant to find
>>
>>737572353
Hire game-designers you lazy fuck. Not only are our overlords evil, but sheer greediness cannot explain the retardedness of blowing so much budget on pointless shit then cheaping out on the things that cost nothing like a competent game-designer or writer. TLOU2, fantastic game from a technical standpoint, rancid dogshit from a writing standpoint.

Make environments clear, make the level design sensical and the objective clear, and if players still have issues, just use the subtlest lighting you can find that still does the job. But the yellow cum sprayed over obvious things is disgusting and made for literally illiterate 60IQ players, this is the vidya version of "we want Netflix shows to repeat the plot 4 times per episode and loudly say everything they do so people on their phones can enjoy the show".
>>
>>737572039
yellow paint should only be present on the easy difficulty

Name one game where the solution was impossible to find/the way to go was impossible to see, there isn't! gamers are just retarded

So you agree.
Now fuck off back to your yellow-paint games, retard
>>
>>737579448
No, I think shiny, glowing barrels are for drooling retards. In fact, I take back marginally since it's clearly the same flying genie that's placing them everywhere. Poo poo pee pee.
>>
>>737572039
I thought yellow paint was retarded until I actually encountered it, for the first time, in Stellar Blade. It's not a consequence of games being dumbed down, but of increased graphical fidelity and background detail. Without it you would still need some way of informing the player which of the 500 highly detailed window awnings in the game are actually grabbable and which are purely cosmetic.

Never seen it in any other game (aside from wuthering waves putting it on breakable boxes) so maybe it's for retards in most cases. But I don't want to spend half the game jumping at ungrabbable ledges simply because 1% of them are grabbable and lead to either the correct path or an optional collectible.

>>737573484
>>737572592
I generally agree with these opinions that there are definitely better ways for developers to do the same thing, though.
>>
>>737572353
just set the game on an industrial work site, they're required by law IRL to paint ladders yellow and give ledges hazard stripes so nobody will care that the video game set there has yellow ladders and hazard stripes on ledges.
similarly, a yellow sticker on breakable crates full of supplies are also not immersion-breaking the way painting a yellow "x" on them is
>>
>>737572039
Play Crimson Desert then.

>wounded knee
>skyrim joke
Wounded knee is a famous part of western history and a western location. The game is directly referencing that with Booker Dewitt.

Wounded knee was also referenced in the video game "turtles in time"
