Traps/set ups in video games

[Jade Fox]

I feel like modern games have made traps less of a surprise. My reason for bringing this up, is when Waka has you grab the navchip. As soon as you reach the bridge you are created with explosive barrels. Even though none where around as you made your way to the bridge.




Also cause it's hard to relay emotions through text. This is not bashing outlaws I'm been enjoying the game and story

Yeah, that's just a limitation of most games these days. They could have put that stuff there the first time you came through but then you'd have known that an ambush was going to take place there at some point. It's difficult to build a trap that will give the player some hint of what they're walking into without giving up the surprised entirely.
