Many of my full thoughts can be found in this nintendolife article from way back in 2020; https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/03/talking_point_has_coronavirus_finally_put_e3_out_of_its_misery As for me... Well, for me personally, E3 Going away is most likely for the best. It's just that... Look; I remember way back at the start of the 2010 decade how amazing the concept of E3 was. "Wow! All these game reveals happen there! And sometimes they do things ON STAGE that clearly took a lot of time and money to sort out! This is why Only the fancy people can go! Boy, wouldn't it be awesome to be there!" Of course, the thrill factor of the whole thing was the only reason anyone would want to go- Nowadays, you can get the audience wigging out via people recording their reactions online and the like. We don't Need E3 anymore. that's a fact. It was meant purely for the business people to sit in front of the presenters to be shown where their money was being put. The moment you put normal people in there, it all falls apart. I'll always have the memories though, and those memories and the fantasy will always make me nostalgic, dispite everything. "I'll always regret that i was never able to let go." Words have never been truer, pumpkin_head.
Speaking personally, I like notes in games. If done right, it can give the sensation that there’s a world that exists in these games that exists beyond you. So often I feel like games have nothing but areas made just for me playing. Notes, while they can be overabundant and have important information put in them so quickly, I feel can help give you another view of events happening beyond you. My main problem is that sometimes note placement or why somebody writes a note makes no sense, like when they’re put in a place that no reasonable person would be able to reach, or when they leave a message for someone else that was never recovered. But other then that, I think it’s ok there’s notes to read in games. But then again i shouldn't get too excited about notes in games- sometimes it's hard to tell the difference if there's something important in a thing to read or if this is just someone screwing around. As long as there is a feature to read the notes after the fact, like in watch dogs legion, i should be fine with the abundance of notes in your game.
