Some games minimize and try to lock your mouse to the game if you alt tab out. Windowed mode makes it pretty much seamless, pain free. No difference I ever found, just easier to alt tab out and check a map, take notes, pause and watch a video.
I never saw a major performance difference, but being able to switch windows without the game possibly crashing is great. Especially in single player games, sometimes you just need to pause and check laundry, or check email. Alt tab and good to go.
That’s the benefit I use it for. Some games force minimize when you tab off and they can crash when you try to tab back to them.
There used to be a noticeable graphics performance boost to an app when in full screen mode, but that was back in Windows 7 days and may not be true any more.
Adding a reboot button is ONLY necessary if the game isn’t made correctly. There is otherwise no reason to ever need to restart the game. I would see the addition of a restart option as lazy or an admission of failure by the dev.
I could still see it as an admission of imperfection.
Arc Raiders includes an “unstuck” feature. They’re aware their physics system isn’t infallibly perfect, and getting stuck permanently could lead to loss of hard-earned gear. So, if a player is in one spot for more than a minute, they offer an option to teleport you to a safe place a few feet away.
Have you played other visual novels? Spending some time in those may help you recognize the tropes of the genre, and then when you see them in DDLC, you’ll know what not to expect since that game is specifically subverting expectations.
As other people have said though, DDLC is very intentionally somewhat upsetting, and there’s nothing wrong with looking up a short synopsis to understand what to expect before deciding for yourself.
If you’re triggered easily, I’m not sure if the game is a good fit for you as it does delve into some deeper, more serious topics.
The only other thing I could think of to try and resolve this issue would be to purposely spoil the plot of the game for yourself by reading summaries in advance and then make the judgement call on whether or not you believe you can handle the subject matter?
The PS2 has a hard drive slot but just didn’t come with one by default. There was an official Linux release for it and in Japan you could even use it as a DVR. I don’t think this is a fair comparison.
Another commented said Fully Remappable Controls, but I want to foot stomp it. On PC games, I use EDSF instead of WASD, but if some controls can’t be remapped and they overlap with EDSF then I won’t play the game.
On console, I fucking hate that Elden Ring maps “crouch/sneak” to pushing down on the movement stick. I’m furiously fighting for my fucking life against a boss that attacks every 0.7 seconds. I’m moving that stick as fast as I can, which means I’m pushing hard on it. It sucks to be trying to run away from an attack but then start crouching and sneaking away from a 40ft tall axe coming down on you.
I tend to clutch the remote when stressed. It’s highly frustrating when I’m in the middle of an intense gunfight and suddenly my character tries to melee. Having to push down and hold a thumb stick while doing other actions with my fingers makes my hand sore as well.
Games should not have preset color options for people with colorblindness. Games almost NEVER do them correctly or offer good enough options. They should just give users full-blown color pickers for whatever gameplay elements require them and let users decide for themselves what colors work best.
If you try to play it casually it’s absolutely awful because there’s no guidance on what to do and some of the tasks are awful if you don’t know how to skip them.
But if you watch enough speed runs and LPs of the game you start to figure out why the game breaks, how to do the bad parts, and how to intentionally mess with it. And it’s hilarious to do so. It’s like an unintentional broken sandbox. And the best part is even when you’re not trying to it breaks anyway.
Also the physics in the game are absolutely WILD. It’s one of the few games on earth that’s so bad it’s hilarious.
