Re: skipping content
But see, that's the part I honestly don't get. If we take the example of a hard and rewarding game (and I wouldn't put MMOs into that category since they are mostly designed around grinding and addiction anyways) - something like the final fortress levels in any Megaman title. I fail to understand how a dedicated player… -
Re: skipping content
Still off topic, but could you elaborate on that? I haven't looked much into the topic, but I was always under the impressions that cheats died out due to the advent of microtransactions, and DLC.

Is it stupid? absolutely.. can I understand it? sort of It's like playing an mmo and doing raids for weeks for some armor.. and then the next… -
Re: skipping content
@Pior - I didnt mean locking them, that would make no sense as you said, it should just not be too tempting. This all should likely not be generalized. There are many games where skipping is likely a safe addition and others where it is rather not. I feel big singleplayer productions mainly fall under this problem, they…
