Reddit.

The patent called “STATE MANAGEMENT FOR VIDEO GAME HELP SESSIONS” describes multiple examples where a pop-up might ask a player to let a helper take over the gameplay for a while.

Imagine if a user were struggling to find a rare gem in an RPG; if allowed, the helper would take control from the player. They would proceed to chat and guide the user through the process of acquiring the gem.

I would just choose to play games that aren't mostly things I hate 🤷‍♂️

I guess it could be used to get through forced stealth segments in games with absolute dogshit stealth mechanics, but I would rather just see developers not put forced stealth levels in their game that wasn't built to do stealth mechanics well.

    its not most but like elden ring had platforming I would 100% allow the agent to go do. Lets me clear I have watched people do it without editng out their save scumming and these are the people good at it and it took a few tries. Again the game is not mostly that. but that is in it and games like to throw like that particular thing I hate pretty often.

    The first jump that the DEVS point you toward in that one platforming area is so fucked. The only jump worse is the one in DS3 to get the Firekeeper Set. The geometry in both instances is hella fucked. 😩

    honestly I hated both of them. actually one thing my wife and I talked about the game in terms of graphics was how it trigger both of our aggrophobias. Whats funny is hers is worse in real life but im easier effected virtually. All the ledge areas made me nervous as heck.
