The game is designed to evoke an snes era rpg. Including the part of an snes era rpg where you explore
Everywhere and talk to everyone before you come what you're looking for.
Ah, so essentially you're saying we, modern day gamers, are spoiled?
(For the record, I can't even disagree with you!)
A bit, though that's the great thing about video games today, the fact that stuff like skyrim, that does always have an arrow, and stuff like this, that are more of the classic sleuth style of game can coexist on the same top seller page.
If I were to make the claim modern day gamers were spoiled, i would include my self in that as well, seeing
as how I've been playing for 8 hours now, and at various points found my self wishing to god there was a fast travel button.
In all, I wouldnt say anyone's spoiled, more like you just have to get into the right mindset.
