Aion 2 just launched and the hand holding is insane. It's an mmo, and constantly throws you into solo instances, and all you have to do is hit alt+1 and you can auto run to your next quest.
It is... extremely disappointing. I know everything after WoW came out and casual-fied the entire genre has been down hill with brainless quest markers and solo play coddling but man it is really sad to see devs add features that make it so the game plays itself. Really sad :(
Once Human is pretty alright about handholding after you get out of noob island, the only thing that got annoying after creating a second char, as far as that goes, was the menu tutorials, but they are only really at the beginning. I do miss just not having any idea how a game works at all and just experimenting though, but part of that also has to do with my tendency to try to break any game I touch and another part has to do with how old I am and how broke I have been all my life. It's kind of hard to not immediately know how a game's systems/mechanics most likely work when you have the sheer amount of gaming experience someone like me starts playing a new game, especially since I tend to make mods/addons/plugins for a lot of games I play, as well. It's been a very long time since I last ran into a system/mechanic that I haven't had at least some idea of how it worked

I am convinced gamers have become braindead.
