I've noticed a very irritating trend in games lately. It seems like if you don't immediately push forward on the predetermined path, a voice (there is always some kind of comlink\psychic connection) starts barking orders at you for what to do next. Anyone else find this extremely irritating?
I'm the kind of gamer that likes to take my time, search, and gawk at the scenery. I find it impossible to enjoy the game, when, like a nagging wife, it barks the same orders over and over until you comply. That brings me to my other point. Why the hell is there always a voice in my head? I play singleplayer games to be alone, not to constantly have someone yammering away in my head about shit I don't care about. In real life I don't even carry a cellphone, I hardly want a non-interruptible psychic link with someone who has to give me constant feedback.
Shut the fuck up games, please. Hopefully developers stop this annoying trend sooner rather than later. I had to uninstall Homefront because of this (grab the gun, grab the gun, go through the door, go through the door) Good lord, if I had someone in my head this much in real life I would perform a very hasty decapitation on myself to sever the link.
