2025.01.20 08:14 LordFunghi Does Game Development Naturally Lead to Open Worlds and Kill Creativity?
I've been thinking about how game development has evolved, and I can’t help but wonder if the push toward open-world games is leading to a loss of creativity in the industry. Back in the early days, limitations forced developers to think outside the box. They had to make tough decisions about how to use their limited resources, and out of that came some of the most iconic mechanics and game designs we still celebrate today.
Take Metroid as an example. Those iconic shootable doors weren’t just a gameplay choice—they were a clever way to manage loading zones and memory. But now, we can’t imagine Metroid without them; they’re part of its identity. The same goes for Zelda with its screen-by-screen exploration. The transitions weren’t about aesthetics—they were about swapping chunks of the game world in and out of memory. And Mario’s levels and flagpoles? A direct result of needing to keep gameplay short and focused because the hardware couldn’t handle huge, sprawling maps.
These limitations didn’t just shape games—they defined entire genres. Platformers, Metroidvanias, and arcade games all came from developers working around constraints. They distilled fun and creativity into small, manageable experiences because they had no other choice.
But what if we’d always had the powerful systems we have today? I think the industry would have gone straight to open-world games. Why have levels when you can just keep walking forever? Why have doors that gate progress when you can load the entire world at once? Without those early limitations, I don’t think we’d have the same diversity in game design.
The problem is that open-world games tend to prioritize mimicking reality. They aim to give us massive, seamless worlds to explore, but in doing so, they often sacrifice the abstract, innovative mechanics that make games truly memorable. Reality isn’t inherently fun—good gameplay is. Yet so many open-world games fall into the same formula: massive maps filled with repetitive activities. Climb this tower, reveal part of the map, collect resources, fight a mini-boss, and repeat. It feels like developers are checking boxes instead of crafting unique experiences.
If you look at the older classics, they were more about immersion than realism. Immersion doesn’t mean creating a 1:1 replica of the real world—it means drawing players into the game with strong mechanics, meaningful choices, and a sense of purpose. Even with today’s technology, games like Breath of the Wild show how you can create an open world that feels alive and engaging by focusing on systems that encourage creativity and experimentation. But for every Breath of the Wild, there are a dozen games that feel bloated and directionless, where bigger is mistaken for better.
I can’t help but think that we’re losing something by always chasing realism and open-ended design. Without self-imposed limitations, there’s less focus on the kinds of abstract, tightly designed mechanics that make games stand out. If game developers keep moving in this direction, are we trading creativity for the illusion of freedom?
What do you think? Are open-world games a natural evolution of game development, or are they stifling the creativity that made older games so special?

2025.01.20 08:14 ConstantStructure473 Does Third Party Guarantor Exist in Singapore?
As the title says, does third party guarantor exist in Singapore? So I have stumbled a 2 year contract job in certain field and they provide training for two months with certificates and all the cert cost around $15,000 sgd, but to sign the contract job they need a guarantor as the cost is quite high. So do anyone know if there's any guarantor services available?

2025.01.20 08:14 the_popular_amygdala Let's talk slumlords
Acknowledging young snow Australians without mum and dad's money past present and future, what are your experiences with renting rooms? In particular, what kind of landlords/subletters are the best? In my experience landlords are on average better than subletters simply because of the privacy factor. Overall rice landlords (roomlords?) are the best kind of letter overall because they are usually doing some dodgy shit financially and don't ask you questions in turn. The downside is they can and will usually evict you even faster than a snow landlord if any reason (such as a relative) arises, although this doesn't really mean much as tenancy organisations and civil tribunals don't exist to help you and rental laws are not enforced. Snow letters are much more of a mixed bag as they vary from absentee boomers to subletters who are anal about every detail of your life.
What I am most interested in is the enigmatic fragrant landlord. I have never had one of these, as they only advertise their rooms to other fragrants or to young single women. Why they are so interested in subletting rooms in their houses to young single women is also a mystery to me, as their culture regards women's consent highly. Do they ever get any from those ads they put out?

2025.01.20 08:14 Misaki000009 Waste of time.
My dad considers my hobbies to be a waste of time. When I was young, I used to try doing arts and crafts. So I'd paint, draw and make stuff here and there. My dad always used to remind me how it's a waste of time and resources. How drawing is not only me wasting pages but also pens. I still remember I painted a design on one of our old pillow covers lying in the house, my dad used it as a duster afterwards when he found it.
Now that I've grown older, I have pretty much gave on my previous hobbies. Afterall these years of nagging and taunting has just made me avoid them. So I thought maybe if I get into something more creative or something useful my dad would accept it. I started to crochet and make things, I haven't made a lot of stuff, probably like 2-3 items till now. I used to stay up at night and crochet just in case my family were to see me. Later on when he did find out, he was supportive in the beginning and didn't say much so I thought maybe it's fine if I can crochet. But now that it's been a few days, he's started nagging me again on how it's just a waste of time and yarn (remind you, this is the yarn that has been laying in my house for about 7-8 years now since my grandma passed away, it used to belong to her). How can I do better things in life and that this is going to take me nowhere.
All of this just makes me really sad. All these years I feel like all I've done is listen to what my parents are saying. All my life decisions, my career, my choice of food, my clothing. Everything has been decided my them. And then when the only time I get to express myself is also taken away from me, I can't help but hate myself and them for it.

Hiya I’m a new RN my agent is not very direct with information. I have 75 points , I have a positive skill assessment from ANMAC . She had advised to be to put in for an EOI for 189 this month . What are the chances of me actually getting the 189 visa or should I put in for 190 . I don’t have any experience as an RN as I’m starting my grad next month and I’m currently working casually as an RN in aged care no actual fixed shifts .

2025.01.20 08:14 No-Personality539 Gopuff
 | Who has recent experiences with gopuff orders from uber? It felt sketchy to me honestly. Maybe it was just the area I was in and the complete lack of experience and knowledge of this type of pickup. It was a weird night of uber for me. I started in Burlington NC, where I live, and uber gradually pushed me further west as the night went on and the orders kept coming in. On the way back from an order that took me further west, into Pilot Mountain NC, I was driving through Winston-Salem NC and had several orders come through for a store called Gopuff. Hadn’t ever heard of them before, but I declined probably four orders for that store because the payout and mileage was trash. I did end up accepting one because it wasn’t a terrible offer. The pay wasn’t great with the miles, but I hoped to add another order that would make the pay rate for time even better. The pickup was odd. Thankfully the drop off wasn’t an issue. Still, if anyone has any insight on these orders I’d appreciate the feedback :) submitted by No-Personality539 to uberdrivers [link] [comments] |

2025.01.20 08:14 Purpul_PPL_Eater Am I the only one who lives by this code?? 😂
I'm sure alot of people would agree with this. Especially the more hardcore and prolonged experienced gamers. No matter the game that I am playing. No matter the difficulty. Whenever given a choice, I just can't bring myself to play a game on any other difficulty lower then it's intended difficulty level (Normal). I don't knock anyone's choices in the slightest! It's just I don't feel any sense of accomplishment and in some ways feel like a little *tch if I'm not at least setting foot on Normal or higher modes during gameplay. The game could be Souls like difficulty even on Very Easy Mode and I still refuse. There's been a few occasions in my Video Gaming history that I've completely dropped and never came back to a few titles because of the outright refusal to play on easier terms. I can't stand a game that "forces" difficulty change if deaths are too frequent *coughs Dark Souls & Rogue Legacy cough cough sorry for the rambling 😂 what are your guys thoughts on what I've mentioned? Is there any valor to sticking to your guns and out right refusing the easier walk of life?
