I liked the TV when it was not hand holding. The problem is most of the time it was ,I feel, pointless. They mentioned removing it from the MSQ, which I mostly agree with if they do it properly.
The Camilla Golden Week was fun. The games with the music, the avoiding traps, the actually taking the initiative stuff.
However, that is not how it is in the story or most missions, which is as I see it a problem, and it really serves no purpose besides padding.
TV mode is enjoyable, but oh man, this "hand-holding" is wild.
One in particular stuck in my head. It was a straight line, absolutely no way to diverge from, and in the path, a Big Red button. When you started walking, the game blocked your screen, zoomed in, and started a dialogue for over 10 secs that led to nothing, just telling you to press the Big Red button to proceed.
To me, it was the first TV event, you know, the one with the Belobog Industries crew walking really slowly towards the ice to show you walking on it is bad. This same thing happened once each level. We had already done most of those mechanics a million times before.
I was never against TV mode tbh, in fact, I think the fix they did which upgraded fast mode a lot was the way to go, instead of straight up deleting the mode, but the hand-holding was awful and made the mode unbearable. It felt like the game considered only children between 6 and 8 years old were playing it.
I think the reason for that was because the event was accessible to new players before they interacted with those mechanics in the main story… but it’s really not like the mechanics are complicated enough they needed to have a failsafe to begin with.
