A pity the remake does not have an option to switch off all the red herring items. Red Herring items really spoil a game…. it’s an idea that fortunately modern games seem to have left behind.
This is the sort of thing a remake should fix or give option to fix.
They should fix the “hidden button” problem too.
Presumably it’s not too late for NightDive to do further updates.
- giobox 3y agoI spent my first 5 hrs collecting all the dog tags automatically, as naturally in any modern game this would lead to some kind of achievement. I only found out they serve no purpose at all when my inventory was completely full and I had to check on reddit if I even needed the damn things. I played the original, but my memory is somewhat hazy given its been ~30years. On balance I really like this remake, but it does carry some of the original's warts too.
- andrewstuart 3y agoEasy to imagine a "no useless items" option in gameplay settings. If a game has Red Herrings then I just stop interacting with items entirely. When items always have a purpose then they attract attention. Working out what is useful/useless isn't fun.
