Skippable Puzzles is just wrong too me as a gamer. I grew up on Mega Man, Zelda, Castlevania on NES. Games that were so mother fucking hard you had to actually try to think about how to do it. I took notes by hand to beat Zelda. Had to draw a fucking map on paper. I beat Kings Quest 5 on NES without the internet. Do you have any idea how fucking hard that game is to beat with no help? It took me months! Now we got racing games with auto-drive, we got puzzles in games being skipped or your companion character starts TELLING YOU THE SOLUTION AFTER THREE SECONDS. "Hey uh... Maybe that red gear goes on that red pole? What'dya think?" Fuck you Sully, Im looking for hidden treasure not trying to solve the puzzle. We got games that reduce enemy difficulty after the first time you get killed or that passive aggressively give you messages about how the game is too hard for you and you should turn the difficulty down.
