If people are struggling to find gems

[Infern]

You can actually press one of the buttons on your controller or M/Kb... That actually gets Sparx to point towards the nearest gem. :P

How to ruin the game in a very few steps.

Once you use Sparx to find gems, your brain will shut down. Each time you'll miss a gem, you won't gosearch for it, because you know Sparx can find it for you.

It's not, you could do the same in the original.

It's an optional button to press. If you don't like it. Don't use it. I just remember watching one of my friends spend around 30 minutes looking for a gem...

It doesn't ruin the game. It actually makes it better having it as an option. It still doesn't point towards the extra stuff like Cogs in levels or the hidden stump etc. So it is a good intermediary feature.

Well I was missing 1 gem only and I wandered for 20 minutes on the map... Using it for the last treasure won't hurt.

If you find looking around on a map forever for that one gem you missed 'ruining a game" be my guest. But also know you're being kinda pretentious.

If someone actually misses "one gem" ... he actually didnt miss "one gem" but rather an area he did note explore properly.

Sorry but no. There are some gems that are basically invisible in some of the foliage. Stop being so pretentious because someone missed.... yes missed a gem in a weird corner or grass. Honestly... get over yourself

There's some little areas the devs basically pulled an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ putting gems in so it has little to do with exploring properly.

Like the fact Cliff City expects you take a leap of faith to a ledge BEHIND the building you start in from the final area to get to like 30-something of the levels gems.

It's not like it's a new feature that Sparx will help you find gems. Sometimes you just need help finding some here and there. Me personally, I'll run through the whole level and then, on the handful of times I've run out of ideas, I'll use Sparx to point me in the right direction and see if I can figure it out from there.

Everyone enjoys their entertainment in different ways. There's no right or wrong way to use Sparx. None of us needs to conform to what anyone else believes. Enjoy the game!

[Mez Koo]

No, you're not a real gamer if you don't have the patience and time to find every single gem yourself in every game! /s

[Sixtyfivekills]

Sparx still won't fly and beat flying levels for me, so it's useless.
