Things That Tick You Off about gaming - Page 4

January 8, 2008, 2:42 AM

1) Making bosses hard for the sake of being hard.
2) having to level up a trillion times to beat said boss.
3) IMPOSSIBLE FREAKING JUMPS YOU MUST MAKE TO FINISH THE LEVEL *angry face*
4) shatty voice actors
5) NO MAP! Every game should have a map. I lurve maps.
6) Not enough ammo. (Like fighting Flood in the Library. -.-)
7) Long ways without a save point/checkpoint.
8) Getting clusterfucked by monsters
9) having to leave your vehicle and go on foot.
10) Terrible lighting! (Doom 3)
11) An uncannily smart foe that thwarts your attack no matter how many different ways you try it.
12) Terrible music. I was more exicted riding the elevator.
13) REALLY. BAD. DIALOUGE. (FF X)
14) Weak female characters that aren't worth the crap they dispose of.
15) Utterly senseless 'clothing' for female main chars. Clothes that don't clothe much, if you catch my drift.
16) Really promising, badass female chars, then they just get PWND for no frigging reason. *angry face*
17) glitches/bugs in the game that get you stuck.
18) authorities. the bloody guards are too good in some games. -.-
19) Storylines that are so linear I knew what was going to happen in the first five minutes.
20) Where the key reason behind some major plot twist completely defies the laws of physics and makes it sound like it's true when it ISN'T!!!!!
21) Timed boss battles
yeah, that's about it.

1) Voice actors.

Let's look at a few games; Final Fantasy X and X-2, Samurai Legend Musashi, Shining Force Neo...who the fuck hired these people? I can't stand listening to them. x_x

2) No Subtitle option.

No, I don't mean subtitles to the English speech. I mean subtitles to the original Japanese speech. For one, the originals are usually better than the English actors. For another, it makes more sense with the FMVs (if any). Finally, I just prefer it.

3) Excessively long dialogue or movie sequences.

The game I have that's especially guilty for this; Shining Force Neo. Seriously, there's a fifteen minute segment where it's nothing but dialogue and fancy videos! I could've made and eaten Ramen in that time! And in FFIX with Ark? The first time you use any summon, they give you the entire summon...meaning you have to sit there and watch a buncha fancy stuff for five minutes before you see the damage that's been done.

4) Repetitive speech.

Yes, it's one thing to make sure the player knows what they need to do...but if they have three different characters repeating the same lines over and over, it's annoying. x_x

Some more things that tick me off:

Gamers that are obviously jealous of a particular game and the attention it gets instead of the gamers' favorite game in the series, and therefore either bash the fans of that particular game and or, game developer.

Gamers that bash a game company for trying to please their fans by releasing sequels. Just because the fans wanted to see more of the characers/story.

Gamers that bash a game company that re-releases their old games that came out over 12 years prior with new, or improved graphics, on handhelds so gamers that never got a chance to play them can. But these gamers see this as a bad thing because the company is making money off it.

1. Hyprocrisy within every part of the gaming industry.

2. How gaming has become a pissing contest between companies and fanboys. I don't give a shit about how I'm wrong and that console/game A is better than console/game B or vice versa, I can make my own fucking mind up thanks.

3. People bitching how SE/Nintendo/EA/other random company is being boring by just releasing the same old hash, you aren't forced to pay for those games so what's the issue?

1. Consol wars. I want them to die

2. People at conventions that claim to be big fans of a certain video game even though they've never even played it. Why do they love said video game? Because the main character is so hawt!

3. People who claim to be big FFVII fans when all they have seen is Advent Children.

4. People that call themselves gamers but they refuse to play any game released before the PS2 because of ZOMG Graphics!

I fekkin lol'd. I know that was directed at me and WolfBlack

By the way, we NEVER bashed them for making remakes, only their reliance on remakes and how everything else they make is halfassed.

Anyhoo, things that tick me off about gaming:

1. Sony fanboys. You can stfu about how your PS3 has super 1337 technology, that doesn't help the fact that atm it's FAILING because it costs developers and consumers too much. Oh and don't get me started on the PSP.

2. When I see a trailer for an awesome looking game, only to see that when it comes out it's been halfassed and the potential went to waste (this doesn't just apply to SE).

3. RPGs losing turn-based and random battles and going to action-RPGs. If I want an action game I'll play Devil May Cry damnit, give me back my oldschool system.

4. Graphics whores.

Let's see...

I already mentioned Halo fanboys and poor connection on Xbox Live.

I hate ANY game that has a time limit. I refuse to play 'em. I don't like feeling rushed.

I share your pain with me

I wonder what's the purpose of time limits...

Probably to increase the difficulty. It certainly makes games more difficult, as you have to think more quickly and make hasty decisions. The probability of making a mistake is greater.
