Route 212

Despite the massive strategy guide pointing out the flaws in my playing style, I'm having fun wth Pokémon Platinum.

Sometimes I think that it might be because it's a very linear experience, you're given routes to follow, and places you're not supposed to go to yet are blocked off. I have a problem with sandbox games, when I'm given the ability to go anywhere, I get paralyzed by too much choice and end up going nowhere.

I had this problem in Fallout 3. Once I got out of the vault, I was at a loss until a friend pointed out somewhere to go. I was just wandering around for ages, disconcerted.

This happens in life, too to be honest.
