It completely derails the flow of the game. I guess devs think this no item description thing is a 'quirky, fun, neat little special game mechanic', but I don't know how to explain it to them - it is awful.

Either display it like the power ups do and just scrap those, or put a menu in the game that we can look it up in without having to alt-tab out of the game to find out what something does before we grab it.Īlmost 3 years - 3 freakin years - and this *STILL* hasn't been patched or fixed (on switch, at least).

Give us an in game reference where we can look up what something does before we pick it up. They don't even need to be displayed during gameplay, just put the descriptions in an encyclopedia style menu page that unlocks descriptions as you collect stuff. I think hiding the description of an item a player hasn't ever picked up before and having them unlock as the player grabs them for the first time is also okay.

What you get is random, and how helpful they are is up to RNJesus.

I understood it for pills because their effects are randomized and that was the entire point of those items, but having to mod in item descriptions for static items or needing to alt-tab out to a wiki was stupid.Įggs seem to be the 'pills' in NA, and I'm fine with that. It's an irritant, not a gameplay mechanic. The only thing this mechanic accomplishes is players alt tabbing out to a wiki page.
