Option for Classic/Original Reporting Mode?

[Marshall Joestar]

My wife and I adore these games. We own every single one and have dumped a bunch of hours into the series. We love playing on the big living room TV in the dark of night and freaking ourselves out, haha. It's incredibly impressive how the quality of each game is even better than the last, and this latest game is arguably the best of them all (so far)

I appreciate the convenience of the new "click on the anomaly to report it" system, but at the same time, I'd love to see the classic way to report anomalies as a selectable option, too. There's something more challenging (and even tension-building) about having to navigate through the menu, pick the correct type of anomaly, and then report it that way. I think the idea of having both ways to report would be good for those who prefer a simpler and quicker way to report and also those who kinda prefer it the original way, where you have to pick the right room and the right anomaly type as fast as possible. Talk about stressful, lol

Thank you, Notovia, for your awesome games, and I'm sure this suggested addition will make an already great game even better. *two thumbs up*

Thanks for the feedback! You have a good point. I think the advantages of the new system outweigh the disadvantages. Selecting the anomaly type can sometimes be frustrating if it's not obvious. However it's true that just clicking and holding is really fast and convenient which isn't that stressful.

I think that a simple solution would be a mix of slightly increasing the time it takes for a report to occur and also adding more kinds/types of anomalies that can't be right clicked on

Yep that's a good idea!

Great Idea, for sure.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each system, so I'm just trying to brainstorm ways to make the whole thing flexible for those like it "easier" and those who like it "harder" and overall provide even more fun for everyone. More options in general are great so that people can select the best way to play the game for their individual interests/skills/etc.

BTW, one thing my wife and I always found hilarious was thinking, "There's something extra in this room, but I don't know what..." so we'd report "Extra Item" and then BING, anomaly reported, but......... WHICH ONE WAS IT? :D Felt good to be correct, but having no clue what we were correct about always kept us on our toes, haha. As fun as that is, being able to randomly guess an anomaly and get it right did take away a little bit of the "difficulty" though also added that level of craziness at the same time.

I love how the games keep innovating from game to game. Already psyched to see what's coming for IOOD7 xD
