I only know what this is because of subtronics..."they must have amnesia, they forgot that I'm him"
There are a lot of design choices I love about that game! I'm one of those people however that found the PvP frustrating.
Battlefield 1 just drips with atmosphere, it's amazing!
I tried that game once, got stuck at one point and put it down. I really need to give it a fair chance!
I think you hit the nail on the head, give me what I need to know when I need it, and make it more environmental when possible. Halo for example had the assault rifle show the ammo count on the gun itself and other games have as well, there are countless other ways to give information organically to the player.
This is a great answer and I learned a new word today! I'm okay with diegetic elements, as it feels organic and as long as it's not distracting I'm okay with that! I forgot about mirrors edge, the minimal(ish) design of that game is great.
I suppose saying "no HUD" was a bit narrow, the spirit of my question was more about games that don't have displays and elements pulling too much attention from the game itself. I appreciate the response!
Immersion is one aspect, but I also find that artists put so much work into creating great visuals, it almost feels like I'm ignoring the great things to look at by chasing dots on a map. I really just want experiences that help me focus more on the world in front of me.
Yessss I feel like developers really have room to get creative with visual elements like that for fighting games. For first person games even just the redness on the edges of the screen is good enough in most cases!
I played that aaaages ago and I remember that really stuck out to me at the time!
Oooo I forgot about dead space, that's a good one! Cyberpunk and prey are on my list!
Lol 1950 was a great time to have kids, ever heard of baby boomers? The war boosted the economy, lots of people owned houses and started families. Same after world war 1, there were the "roaring 20s" before the great depression hit.
The gift that keeps on giving, No Man's Sky. Pretty much just aimlessly wandering around and having a blast!
