ITT: Little things that fuck a game up for you

...

>No agents

Ever wonder if they just go through a checklist instead of considering how it would work in the actual game?

What?

No modding/customization is a gamebreaker.
Shitty storytelling is also.

Automap that only maps the space you're on, Especally if there are damage floors you have to walk on to map the whole thing.

Assassinations? What, do you mean like in Halo?

They always go through checklists. I wouldn't be surprised if the "devs" are just the patsis used by the corporate executives who actually do the design work, etc.

They'll cobble shit up in a meeting based on what trends the marketing department cuck says are popular then tell the "devs" to make the game based on said trends.

That's why SJW shit is in.

MAAAAN does it suck to be you.

Well, F.E.A.R. is a terrible game so…

Well, I can see my legs in FEAR.
I've tried playing that game five separate times and I never mustered up the motivation to get past like, the third level.

...

When people like a game I haven't played yet and tell me how great it is

Yeah, the whole "can't see my legs" thing is an autistic meme. Not being able to change the FOV is a real issue.

Yes. I always thought the instant-kill from the back thing was a cheap move.

Not even an increase in max HP?

Yes.
99 levels, and not a single stat change. It just affects what moves you have.

F.E.A.R. is a fucking turd, regardless.

shit like this makes Halo 3 look like a masterpiece

s-stop, i wanna do that!

i-i said s-s-stop!

I dropped Valkyria chronicles because

if you're gonna make it percentage based, don't make me aim at the enemy and just make it a command. If you're gonna make it action based, don't put a fucking hit rate stat on the game.

...

I swear to god, there's nothing I hate more than stealth missions in a strategy game. I'd prefer to do an escort mission twice than having to deal with shit.

thats not so bad compared to

...

...

free PVP/PK has been all but removed from MMOs nowadays.a shame, because those are the most fun.

This is basically only an early game issue with lancers, once you get to mid game it's actually a reasonable mechanic since otherwise you could just snipe anyone anywhere on the map with no threat while the action is paused. It's absolutely ridiculous tyring to use snipers or lancers until that point though. Alternatively you could install the difficulty mod which increases early game accuracy, but it's not exactly forgiving, even if you know all the game's mechanics.

The only exception to this rule is Supcom, but that's because of all the other shit it does so well

RTS is probably the only genre where escort quests aren't a colossal fucking pain in the ass, especially if they actually give you control of the escort unit.

...

its such a bummer that some ps2 games had stuff like this but it becomes less and less prevalent these days

FPS


"Choose you own way" adventure games


All games:


I could write a fucking book on this.

...

I don't know a ton about guns, but assuming that your enemy is also competent, why isn't it a safe assumption that their gear would be properly prepared?
Nigger, you had better not be suggesting that the game forces you to have shit accuracy that improves via a level system, rather than actually gitting gud.

...

And

Guess the games

or

Havent played much of hollow knight but your last one immediately makes me think of it.

...

I was thinking of Shovel Knight, but I wouldn't be surprised if that game was like that too given what influenced it.

Modern MMOs
Wildstar hits virtually every one of these points by the way. Dropped it like a plate of shit at 15. I never hit endgame in it but I wouldn't be surprised if it was any different.

Dungeon Crawlers (e.g. Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder)

RPGs in general

Nethack

...

Have you tried breathing the elemental?

I bet you also defend the razor back shield too.

they would probably poke holes in your lungs

...

...

that's a twink with a tuck and you know it

I'd say game #2 would either be Dead Island or Borderlands.

At least it only takes 2-3 mods to fix all of this, I guess.

Yeah, I watch cutscenes at least once for the plot so this shit pisses me off, also…

...

mobility

This so much, even Perfect Dark had it. What even happened?

a mix between casuals being easily pleased and all violence in video games getting toned down to boring levels over time

The only exception to this was The Desolate Hope ONLY because it had minigame automation features

...

It should be about strategizing and creating clever tools for the player to be creative with.
There is no skill involved on most of these games, just some annoying "press A when the circle is big".
Even games Holla Forums praises do this, like Paper Mario.

...

So if I'm understanding you right, you don't hate the concept itself, you just don't like that the minigames are always so low skill that they're essentially pointless?

These were always how MMOs functioned, dipshit, you're just a retard blinded by nostalgia.

First of all, i don't want to be forced into minigames, sometimes i just want my rpg to be cozy.
Second of all, they are just a poor excuse for a lack of good gameplay.

Make a fun boss with obscure mechanics and i'd be far more into it.
Like this asshole for example, she used to cast reflega on your team when she had low health, so when you tried to heal your party up the spell would bounce and she would be back at full health leaving you no way to endure the fight since you had your mana emptied by then.
And even in this very specific case there were at least three options to circumvent the problem i can think of.

EVEN D&D ALLOWS THIS SHIT, FUCK YOU XCOM

>HOW ABOUT WE PUT IN TEAMS WITH TEAM MATES MORE RETARDED AND BRAINDEAD THAN A CARROT AGAINST LEVEL 50 PROS WHO HAVE SUNK THEIR LIVES INTO THIS GAME FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS?????
>DOES THAT SOUND FUN, PLAYER? DOES IT SOUND FUN TO GET FUCKING STOMPED OVER AND OVER AND OVER? NO? GET USED TO IT, BUCKO! YOU CAN'T STOP IT!

This shit right here makes me want to go to the house of whoever designed the matchmaking system in (insert multiplayer game here), and slit their fucking throat with the rustiest, dullest hacksaw I can find, and shit hot lava fucking diarrhea down their throat, and piss in their eyes.

...

...

how many games do this beside GTA5

...

MGS4

these are never fun. always boring and tedious.

When playing a linear game and I see something is coming/a trap but the retarded protagonist doesn't. Made me drop many games

i forgot what game i was playing, but i distinctly remember being stuck because i saw a trap and thought "oh shit, cant go that way" so i walked around looking for ways to get around it. eventually i just said fuck it and walk towards the trap.

WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT?

Are you mad as a leftypol that it isn't announced as gay?

Oh, how I know that feeling.

...

The good ones have risk vs reward, like some faction that targets people who gank. If you're good enough you can evade but be too greedy and they make your life hell.

Come on, guys, get serious.

You like to suck that completely heterosexual cock, don't you faggot?

No no, dicks are gay, but traps aren't. This is well documented and studied by science men.

...

Clearly it's only gay if you engage with the dick.

Fuck this shitty meme. It's not funny, never was funny, and encouraging mentally ill faggots to crossdress should be punishable by furious whippings.

What if it's a girl getting fucked by a trap?

I'm looking at you Just Cause 2

...

You could drive cars in just cause 2?

Yes, and the only good thing about it are the whoosh sounds they make as they roll down a hill after you inevitably fuck up a turn and fall off the road
Just Cause 3 made driving enjoyable.

Original X-Com allows this.
