Hey, Listen: NPCs Should Stop Yellin' at Us

So many NPCs are designed to nag at people. There has to be a better way to help guide and teach players without being as annoying as Navi or Cortana.

I have noticed that NPC's have become more annoying in recent years. Wolfensteain: Youngblood's characters never shut up, they are enough reason to avoid the game.

FF7 Remake looks like it has this problem too. The characters never seem to shut up when you are fighting. I hate this kind of thing, it's really off putting.

I like it. 7R looks really promising. The banter between Cloud and Barett, Jesse's crush on Cloud. They're all good character moments and add character growth naturally. But people have to complain about everything.

The funny thing is that this applies to real life too, and not just video games.

porkChop1661d ago

I don't mind if the characters say something once a minute or two to remind me what I'm doing. But in some games it seems like every five to ten seconds they're yelling at me, and it's just annoying and off-putting.

sprinterboy1661d ago

It's the npc who is annoying when there telling you to "hurry up" or say "over here" when your going through your load out or collecting ammo and searching for stuff of interest etc.
I'm always like I know where I'm fucking going and I'll come when I'm finished collecting all the loot and shit I've got to collect lol.

I really hate the ones that keep pestering you to advance the story. RDR2 was terrible about this. After big fights, you want to explore around to try and see what kinds of things you can get, because they won't be available after advancing, but you have this guy off to the side who just keeps telling you to come over here, or go do something every 30 seconds. It's like they think I don't know what to do next, despite the fact they've been telling me what to do next for the past 5 minutes.

porkChop1660d ago

Yeah in some games it gets super annoying. COD has been really bad in that regard.

MasterCornholio1661d ago

HEY LISTEN!!!!!!!!! HEY LISTEN!!!!!!!!! HEY LISTEN!!!!!!!!! HEY LISTEN!!!!!!!!! HEY LISTEN!!!!!!!!! HEY LISTEN!!!!!!!!! HEY LISTEN!!!!!!!!!

I know what the author means. Sometimes the characters can be so annoying.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64127d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

Cacabunga127d ago

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic127d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits127d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake127d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex127d ago (Edited 127d ago )

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time - A Legend 25 Years in the Making

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted 25 years ago, forever changing the face of video games and becoming a legend of its own.

Number1TailzFan159d ago

I used a guide to beat part of it but some of the rest myself, still enjoyed it regardless. Too bad they didn't stick with this kind of gameplay for the rest of the series as I would prefer it over what they're doing now.

TheBrainZ159d ago

A definitive moment in video game history. Played it countless times, and Zelda was the best reason to own an N64.

FinalFantasyFanatic159d ago

I played through OoT so many times on the 64, then I bought it on the 3DS before the Eshop shut down. I wish we could have a Zelda collection like we did for Mario, I still can't believe that never happened.
