I don't know if other people notice it or are bothered by it, but I feel like now anytime I play like a 3rd-person open world game, the protagonist will start panting like they're out of breath whenever they make any kind of physical extertion

Is this supposed to add immersion? Because continously hearing heavy breathing and grunting while running around is super distracting and makes the experience less enjoyable imo

like I'm playing some Assassin's Creed Mirage and if I sprint two steps the pc sounds like he's gasping for air

Feel like COD sprinting did this early on

I read that as painting and was going to ask if there were new Okami-like games.

Most protagonists in AAA games are part dog so they pant instead of sweating

Unrelated, but one time I went to a 4DX screening for a movie and it was one of the worst experiences I've had that I paid money for...

I can't remember what but something I played recently had characters sound like they were ready to keel over every time they climbed a ladder.

I hate this too. It's even worse if the game has a stamina system wherein the hero can't even jog for as long as my fat ass.

I also read this as painting and thought it was about the yellow paint discourse

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Yellow paint discourse?
I also had no idea and had to look this up. "Yellow paint" refers to the trend in modern games to color-code interactable objects or the correct direction to go by slapping yellow paint on it. The discourse is that some people don't like that.
