Some good scraps on that card!

When I was growing up reading those I was also a big fan of the Artemis Fowl series!
I think you hit the nail on the head, give me what I need to know when I need it, and make it more environmental when possible. Halo for example had the assault rifle show the ammo count on the gun itself and other games have as well, there are countless other ways to give information organically to the player.
This is a great answer and I learned a new word today! I’m okay with diegetic elements, as it feels organic and as long as it’s not distracting I’m okay with that! I forgot about mirrors edge, the minimal(ish) design of that game is great.
I suppose saying “no HUD” was a bit narrow, the spirit of my question was more about games that don’t have displays and elements pulling too much attention from the game itself. I appreciate the response!
Immersion is one aspect, but I also find that artists put so much work into creating great visuals, it almost feels like I’m ignoring the great things to look at by chasing dots on a map. I really just want experiences that help me focus more on the world in front of me.
As long as it’s not distracting I’m okay with that!
Yessss I feel like developers really have room to get creative with visual elements like that for fighting games. For first person games even just the redness on the edges of the screen is good enough in most cases!
I did the GTA story heists with no HUD but not online, I found those tricky enough already!
I played that aaaages ago and I remember that really stuck out to me at the time!
Oooo I forgot about dead space, that’s a good one! Cyberpunk and prey are on my list!
I ordered a Retroid Pocket 3+, I have a PS Vita but I’m excited for an android-based system. Xbox streaming, android games, easier file transfers and backups all sounded really appealing so I’m excited for it to arrive!
Lol 1950 was a great time to have kids, ever heard of baby boomers? The war boosted the economy, lots of people owned houses and started families. Same after world war 1, there were the “roaring 20s” before the great depression hit.
Would love to see Madrid swap spots with Girona this weekend!
Any issues with games not saving? I don’t like using save states as I prefer a more classic experience, but after closing the game and reloading it the data wasn’t there.
Young me found that game so confusing! I remember getting stuck in Moria and abandoning it (after also spending ages in the barrow downs)
