Games should have less sprint buttons and more walk buttons Sometimes I want to take my time and absorb the world

This is directed at the comment being made NOT the game or devs work. Hot take: Give the player more REASONS to slow down. If your environment lacks intrigue because you're thinking "oh but they'll be sprinting anyway who cares" you've lost the point. Give me the option to run and tempt me constantly with environmental story telling or outfits that are so interesting and fun that I want to play with the physics and effects of it. Give me alternative ways to walk like marching or hoping. Draw the player in through playfulness dont remove their desire to move fast outright as if that will naturally get them to desire being slow to take things in. Removal of options doesn't create the behavior youre looking for, All you know is that they CANT sprint and not something more valuable like they chose not to 😉.

For anyone saying "but I want to be able to just walk too", then let there be a walk toggle instead. World of Warcraft have that instead of a run toggle 👀

i think sprinting is fine because some games in my opinion make you way too fast to the point where you need a walk i think its bad game design if there is no toggle sprint tho

personally I like the agency provided by pressing a button and having my FOV slightly change and feel like I am actively doing something to increase my speed even if it's a toggle to sprint.

it should have another downside than stamina consumption, if there is no downside at all, just do a toggle button

Disagree, I want 3 moving speeds I can choose to engage, so the accelerated and decelerated should be a button, and the middle neutral . shift to sprint, alt to walk is my preferred way

games could just put in the option to have either the walking speed as normal and you press a button to sprint OR have the sprinting speed as normal and you press a button to just walk

I think every game with running and jumping needs coyote time, and every game with sprinting needs an option to just Always sprint as your base movement, or like... alway sprint + no stamina outside combat or whatever. . But yeah, if your main movement is Feet, and you can Stand, Walk, Jog, or Run, you should be able to set [full analog tilt] as auto-run instead of always having to turn it back on.

I want my walk speed to be the same as the npc walk speed in a quest where they take me somewhere. unless the path is highlighted somehow idk where tf I'm going so why can I walk faster than who's leading me 😭😭 even just coded for that instance stop making me faster than them

honestly they probably put it there because players like having something to do. It makes the game feel more interactive even though it might not be.

On the topic of Castlevania, I think the Speed Booster in Metroid is fun to use. Shine Spark puzzles are cool

I think having a walk button like in Half-life is a Good option. You shouldn't have to worry about holding down a button and having to deal with stamina while in an intense combat sequence that require a lot of thought and action. A walk button works for vibes and tight platforming where a faster move speed would make it more difficult. Holding down the button also feels more tense as you slowly tightrope over an area

when satisfactory released 1.0 they patched the sprint-crouch-jump speed bug that litterally everybody used and everyone rioted that it was patched and so they put it back in the game. wild 2 weeks XD
