I remember how Point n Click fans went nuts about how the first Monkey Island game ruined the whole Point n Click genre by simplifying it for the masses. What Monkey Island did was to allow you to go back and pick up any item you had missed if any later puzzle needed it. Before that, missed items were lost forever and you had to start over. Sierra games were famous for having some secret item on the first few screens, that you only had one or two chances picking up, and you had to use it near the end of the game if you wanted to complete it. If you missed it, you got stuck near the end with no clue of what you even need to have. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

It is not a flaw. It is a deliberate design choice. You not liking it does not make it a flaw. PS just quit out.

Just because you do not like a deliberate choice by them does not immediately make it a flaw It's not a flaw just because I "don't like it"; that's very presumptuous of you to suggest. It's a flaw because it reintroduces an inconvenience that video games already resolved ages ago.

Stuff like pause screens & easy modes & accessibility options in the settings no longer makes them hardcore games. Seeing regular gamers also enjoying the game instead of just hardcore gamers like me would take away from my sense of accomplishment.

The correct response is "i like the burgers despite it missing the meat patty", and that doesn't negate the criticism Or, maybe people could understand there is a niche market for people who want to eat burgers without buns. And this place brings joys to those people. A reasonable person who doesn't want to eat their burger without a bun will still have thousands of other options of burger joints. Maybe instead of shouting at this one place to cater to them, and make this unique burger joint like every other burger joint, they could just go to one of the thousands of other burger joints and let the bun hating burger eaters enjoy this unique burger joint that creates burgers the way they want to, not the way the masses tell them to. --- https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6b/1a/6a/6b1a6a72ead402776666d859cc06a746.jpg ...
