I have always liked open world games as a concept, but I have a very bad sense of direction. So whenever I play open world games I keep getting lost and frustrated. Eventually getting bored and dropping the game. I am curious how other people with bad sense of direction cope with this problem.
For those that do have a bad sense of direction: I’m positive that you’d slowly get a better sense if you continued to play the games that trouble you and work through being lost. Most people aren’t great at something they don’t do often (or ever).
No offence intended to the afflicted but some of them are absolutely hopeless. My best friend is so bad with directions that despite having never left he goes around our hometown with a GPS because he gets lost. A few years ago, the main road through the town was closed and I ended up having to text him directions how to get home.
