Modern games are so tedious. I don’t want to talk to every npc in the village looking for side quests. I want to go from left to right jumping on bad guys and avoiding spikes
I can see the appeal in more modern games, sometimes it is nice to lose yourself in a world and be a cowboy or something, but yeah, I think something is lost, or maybe not lost, but just different enough that people still want those old experiences again because they offer something more modern games can’t satisfy.

I do like talking to every npc in a village looking for side quests, but modern games make it completely tedious by putting quest markers everywhere and taking the mystery out of it.
