The funny thing about this discourse is that how do people not realise that the language of games is a thing throughout your entire life that stops you from playing new games? Like, the reason Dark Souls was such a shift was because a lot of people pushed others into it.
I have a bad habit of clowning on games that are like “press A to jump” or “move right stick to move camera” forgetting that legitimately that game might be someone’s first
but actually when the hell did I learn what a HUD was? Like was it explained in instruction manuals?
