that said, besides all of that and some occasionally iffy signposting on 'okay what do you actually want me to do next' I enjoyed the game very much! it's fun!

My only real critique is that it could have done with a Metroid Prime-ish map for that final third with all the scavenger hunting. There's a lot of stuff you need to hunt down that's spread VERY far apart with zero signposting.
I think giving a player a map just for the endgame would have worked.

I have better things to do weekend, but I've written an open letter to the members of the London Assembly after their plenary session of 5th November which included a vote to ask Mayor to instruct TfL to pause the installation of all new floating bus stops.

I honestly think even the signposting in dialogue thing is being overblown, tbh

Watching normal people play games, I have found that there is no signposting obvious enough that someone won't miss it.

The funny thing is that the issue they're talking about was Solved in the original!
Nintendo didn't need this much signposting because it had Navi and Saria's song! If you ever forgot where you were going or were confused, both were options to get reminded of your objective or other hints!

Is this Doomy signposting to us that she plays every game on Easy mode?

And it’s multi-faceted too, like Zelda Notes is an arm of this effort, except honestly that’s healthier cause you can just not use them
It’s weird when the signposting is so heavy and baked into dialogue, cause like you said: only way around that is not talking to people, and that’s no fun

The characters are referring to the new universe Sora is in as "a world of fiction" but Nomura is heavily signposting that the reverse is more accurate lol
KH might literally be a storybook world that Sora has broken out of

my most insane take ever: zelda 2's progression is better paced and signposted in a nicer way than link to the past's. link to the past has the entire light world overworld available basically from the start, and one of the consequences of this is that literally all the signposting is to dungeon 1

My only problem with Pipistrello was that the signposting was kinda off and a lot of times I'd see something and instinctively try one thing only to realize the game wanted something else.

I wouldn't call OOT a particularly hard game but definitely harder than what came after, the smoother controls and more signposting might've made the experience smoother, also I dunno if stuff like damage values or enemy HP has been altered

Fascists like art they don't actually have to see. What matters is not the gross sensuality of art as an object of encounter but rather its value as a symbol signposting some socially sanctioned idea like Beauty or Patriotism.

yeah! the normal castle "guides" you by upgrades, but the inverted castle has no such signposting and there's not really any meaningful locks to block you from going anywhere, so you're just left to wander

So far I haven't actually noticed that many changes to the dungeon design in OoTmake? I was worried that they'd try so sand down some of the puzzles for newer audiences, but apart from a bit more signposting of certain puzzle elements they're still about as challenging.

There are a handful of weird changes. There's so much signposting--mostly just new dialog telling you where to go next. And the owl has a name now. I mean I guess the owl always had a name, but we never learned it in the N64 version. He just hooted tutorial info at you. And there's voice acting.

Already seeing older players lament the signposting.
Guys.
I need you to understand the struggle of an 11 year old in 2010 trying to play this massive, largely directionless game for the first time on a fucking WII CLASSIC CONTROLLER. Children are not born fluent in 90s game design.

probably both. they added more signposting to the dungeon to make things easier to keep track of, and they replaced one of the more nefariously hidden small keys
