What is the saddest regression in modern game mechanics?
I'll go first.
Racing games no longer offer a tournament modes with progressive upgrade systems, where after each race, you are actually rewarded for being the best with money, that you can spend on getting a better gear.

@LukeAlmighty User interface and game design made for 0 attention span ADHD faggots.
Compass markers, objective overlay markers, simplified objectives.
Even maps in general.
You remember more of the game if there's no map, because you have to, and it's usually a better experience as a result.

So, yeah. 100%. I just don't think the problem is the brainrot as much as an absolute insanity of a modern game design obsessions with incompatible desires for photorealism and ability to play the fucking game.
@LukeAlmighty @coded_artist I played Blacklight for the majority of my FPS experience as a teenager and, because of that, I just tune out minimaps completely lol. The game has a wall hack instead of a mini map so I just don't pay attention to it in other games.
More importantly for making the player recognize the world that they are playing is to remove fast-travel.
@Jens_Rasmussen @LukeAlmighty I don't know man, Non of the Dark Souls games had a map, and they had numerous fairly large areas.
Did the first Deus Ex have a map? I don't remember.
I don't think maps are that important.
@Jens_Rasmussen @coded_artist
Yes, that's how game design works

These UI changes are required for folx experiencing differently-abledness.
Equity is more important than coddling chuds.

@SirLuke @LukeAlmighty Minorities and women in gaming are the source of this evil, I'm sure of it.
@coded_artist
Yes, I did complain about this already many times, but half of the issue seems to be the constant pursuit of graphical detail, that no longer allows you to play the game directly.
Also, minimaps are OP as fuck. I tried playing the Warframe again yesterday, and immediately realized, that I cannot see shit, and I spent more time looking at the mini map, then on the actual game, since there was no way I could find shit without it.
