20 Things You Miss About Gaming

6. No Hand-Holding While franchises like Dark Souls are seeking to rememedy this, modern games just have too many dull, condescending tutorials. It's clearly a lot more fun to be dropped into a terrifying world against insanely difficult enemies and learn by doing (or dying). 5.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes it's good to just sit down and play without constant distractions. 4.
