Video Game Annoyances

Re: Video Game Annoyances

I have mixed feelings about games that add in a part where you are supposed to lose. They most often do it in RPG's but it really bothers me because I always think it should at least be possible to beat.

Like the last part of the first stage on Megaman X...

Re: Video Game Annoyances

And since I've been playing a lot more "party" type games recently, I've noticed that they tend to start Using The Same Controls For Numerous Minigames after a while. No, I shouldn't have to continually press A/B/Z/L/Q/W/E/R/T/Y/whatever on a constant pace just to make my balloon pop, ONLY to do it again to skateboard across a falling stone bridge. The lack of effort bothers me tremendously.

Like...Mario Party hehe

Anyhow:

Painful Camera Angles and shit - Don't you hate it when you have to go through a specific part and once you're about to complete that part the camera derps and causes you to fall to your death? One game that has that problem is Okami -_-. Great game but my god the camera angle is ****ing horrendous -_-

Easy Modo Games - Self explanatory. Games are just ****ing easy to 100% even on the hardest difficulty. Example: Uncharted. 100% that shit with ease (especially on hard). Why not make it as hard as toehoe's Lunatic difficulty man?

Shitty re-spawn spots - Let's see...games that has shitty re-spawn spots can lead to death at a much quicker pace. Example: CoD. Especially the PS3 version. It has the worst spawn spots that you could easily get killed in the smaller maps (e.g.: Rust, Shipment, Nuketown, any tiny maps and a few larger maps)

I think that's all for now...again xP

Grinding. I hate grinding. Needless game-length inflation.

Some RPG's have a little grinding and this is okay, but some games abuse it to the point of no longer being fun.

Re: Video Game Annoyances

FFR and Stepmania are pretty much the only video games I play and for personal reasons.

This being said, I've actually had a pet peeve for a while..... wondering what characters would look like in normal clothes. Sometimes I get really, really sick of seeing the same character in the same uniform all the time. There isn't anything wrong with the character itself, I just get really sick of seeing the same costume after a while and I don't know what they'd look like in clothes I see worn by people around me every day.

adding onto this one

7. Bosses that are so hard that you think it's a story death boss. I know it's usually me needing to go back and grind for a couple hours, but really, I should just be able to run up to the boss with a decent strategy half the time. It's annoying with those bosses because you're like "Oh, maybe it's one of those bosses," and then you die only to find out you actually have to find a way to beat that ****er.

Re: Video Game Annoyances

ive never played a game where a sub boss was so hard that i thought it was a main boss. usually when i die at a sub boss its because i was ill-equipped to begin with or i had the wrong strategy going into the fight

Rare games - I loved Suikoden 3 but I heard 2 was better... amazon used copy $120? If something is good it should be accessible.

Street fighter 4 - "one frame links" - and plinking/double-tapping. You should have enough precision to just hit it without using those cheating methods.

Those weird japanese shooting games with a million bullets on the screen.

Couldn't agree more, bro. But at least we have emulators out there.
