This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Then you're gonna like Skyrim, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Nier Automata, Portal(?my memory is fuzzy on this one). I'm saying these because it's the ones I know they don't have suggestions like that and because they are narrative

I’m pretty sure most game don’t have game stopping pop-ups.

Lots of Japanese open world games do. Monster Hunter comes first to my mind

You’re right, I don’t know why I automatically interpreted the 4chan post making fun of western developed games

I think portal 2 (I forgot about 1) did have some stuff like that at the start in the little room with Wheatley.
the "space to say apple" room

Portal 1 literally has a line on the floor you are supposed to follow, and only a handful of items in each room you can interact with.

Then there is also that you are only allowed to place a single color in the beginning. Limiting your options.

Almost like a good game explains the mechanics and actually helps the player grasp the concept of the game over a period of time, before throwing them into the deep end.

Yeah, but at least that was a joke to introduce you to the jump button.
