You're right!
Is manually mapping all these huge dungeons too much to ask for? Who decided these malicious auto-mapping features had to ruin all my fun!!!!!
*sad face* |
The problem for me (again, just an opinion) is that, back in the days, those dungeons you mention were crafted by people in a way that made it enjoyable and challenging to explore them. You know, designed. By actual level designers.
Nowadays, dungeons are auto-generated by algorithms and copy-pasted into the game. That's when you're lucky. If you're not, they're generated randomly on the fly, and this is sold to you as a "feature". Procedural generation! Who cares it the levels are boring and cookie-cutter, there's an INFINITE NUMBER of them! So you can be bored and disappointed an INFINITE amount of times!! Is that great?

You're serious, right?
Have you played Bard's Tale lately? We're talking empty hallways full of spinners and endless random encounters.
Compare that with games like Fallout 4 and Skyrim - where Bethesda hired 8+ level designers DEDICATED to dungeon design exclusively.
The gaming industry was always a business - you people were just too young to realise this in the 80s. Have you heard about the video game crash of 1983?
Do you think that happened because it was too full of artistry and creativity? OMG 
The only difference is that the industry is MASSIVE today - which means the quality to shit ratio will reflect that.
But there's plenty of talent and passion to find, if you keep you eyes open.

Jeeze guys, just ignore the prick for once, you know it's a dead end argument. Ends up derailing the thread anyway ...

I had to drag myself to play ME2 and ME3, I just won't bother with this one as it's just not my cup of tea.
That said, I do agree that hating on a game just because of inclusion is stupid. If the game itself sucks or you just don't like then that's fine but if the deal-breaker is 'ehr mah gawd they have gais in there!!111' then that's just silly.

Why would there be a law for it. If you feel any game is below your standards, you can choose not to buy it.
