So I'm trying to write a tech demo for a project that I'm working on, and I've attached a screenshot describing what I'm talking about, since words are escaping me for the moment.
In the bottom right of the corner, there's a big box that says "(A) MORE" on it. It's an on-screen cue to tell the user that there's more conversation to be had, and they can access it by pressing the "(A)" button.
I think it looks like trash (besides the crappy mockup). I personally feel that having a description for every on-screen control or action is rubbish, and that it takes up more space on the screen then is useful. The exception would be if you're teaching someone how to do something (involved complex game) or what you're asking them to do wouldn't come intuitively.
What do you guys think?
Hi there. My name is Dug. I have just met you, and I love you.
