ITT: Shit in vidya you hate

the first part of leon's re6 campaign was such a drag, NO RUNNING, slow walk, Watch out! spooky zombie fell!

Games where looting is a central core mechanic. It completely kills the flow and pacing of the game in favor of telling you that your weapon is now useless because of a fucking number.

Weight mechanics in RPGs are fucking tedious. The last thing I wanna think about at the bottom of the dungeon is how many apples I need to eat to put myself at exactly 0.1 lbs over the encumbrance limit so I'm not forced to move at 2 mph.

This is more of a general complain but making a game look like "retro".
So far only Sonic Mania was the only game where it actually had a "retro" feeling.

wait is it actually possible to get through the tunnel of death without the hammers?

>open-world in games where movement is not even fun and engaging

Imagine being THIS much of a faggot to play anything else other than Max Payne 1.

MP2 wasn't as good as 1 either.

I didn't probably play even 20% of it because of how sick I got from all the unskippable cutscenes and constant control yanks.

Speaking of Mystery Dungeon, any games where the story tries to allude to mature themes but it ends up being butchered by the E-rating? The whole thing with Azuril and Drowzee was really retarded upon revisiting the game.

>Drowzee is supposed to represent a pedophile that pretends to be nice in order to gain Azurill's trust.
>Brings Azurill up to the mountains under false pretenses.
>Reveals to Azurill that the real reason why he lured him up to the mountains was to help him get some treasure because it's inside a hole that Drowzee is too big to squeeze in.
>The treasure is unclaimed seeing though it's inside a dungeon so it's not like he's forcing a child to commit a crime.
>Azurill starts freaking out even though Drowzee tells him to get a grip and that he'll take him back home right after it's over.
>The game treats Drowzee like a scumbag.

Sure Drowzee acted more shifty about it then he should but ultimately his plan was non-diabolical in the sense that he was doing was the exploration teams do: try to find treasure.

I blame Half Life 2 and retards constantly jerking that game off for "immersive storytelling" for this cancer that has plagued western games since. Just play a fucking cutscene that I can skip, I dont care if I can make my character wobble around as he's yapped at.

Last one I did was the one in FFXV where you are just by yourself. Like 5 minutes in I went "fuck it" and didn't consider stealth because the game doesn't punish you for being caught

It's the worst when it's a game where every single NPC that isn't given specialized shit or animations just inherently moves slower than you do. So even if you were to walk alongside someone for escort or cutscene purposes, you have to keep stopping so you don't go too far ahead of them.

FFXVs engine isn't suited to anything other than looking good.

>It's hard as fuck
>Losing the fight in-game is a game over

Well fuck you too then, you want to beat your head against a wall just to lose to the wall anyway? If they're smart the fight will be super easy, but the, "You lose anyway" cut scene starts with your characters being over confident and falling for a trap that leads to the lose.

random encounters

>FFXVs engine isn't suited to anything other than looking good.

true.

Weapon jamming. It's something that completely stopped me from playing Shadow of Chernobyl.

It was irritating as fuck to be in the middle of a heated firefight, be two shots away from killing a bandit, but then my rifle just jams, my allied NPC that I have to escort is killed and I have to reload a save a-fucking-gain.

New Vegas got pretty close to doing weapon durability right. The lower the durability, the lower the damage, and the higher chance of gun jamming. Added a nice random element to fights, and from midgame onwards it's totally avoidable if you play your cards right

On that same note, fuck the degradation of suppressors in MGS3. It made no goddamn sense.

Most of these characters don't fit the generic action man stereotype. If you add "quippy wannabe Hollywood character" you could crowbar a few like Drake into the archetype, but they're actually not very similar.

That's why the bait is so obvious in this thread but the actual opinion it reflects is retarded

No, I'm pretty sure if you got off Yea Forums and went into the real world and called someone genocidal, people would assume that person had motivations based off identity or class.

>but 2 out of 50 of them are sort of slightly different.
Honestly, this is why Japanese Female characters are so much more interesting and diverse. Instead of being the same annoying rehashed white male power fantasy we get a nice variety including all types of diverse characters from 'shy clumsy girls' to 'alpha lesbian hair witches'.
Not only are they more interesting from a simple personality perspective with each character having her own unique and interesting back story and personality that feels deep and appealing on a personal and emotional level, but their actual design is also easily more dynamic and diverse than any of the generic white males in western games.

Simply put, all characters should be lesbian anime girls. And I think that is something we can all objectively agree on.

The diversity comes with the diversity of their designs and personalities as well as how their relationships unfold.

Also, you can have brown anime lesbians too.

The only thing we really need to cull out is males desu senpai. Male characters are intrinsically tied to male power fantasies and thus always come off boring and rehashed. Female characters are always better designed and more diverse just by their nature.

for the second, nothing is more infuriating than doing good at a game and the game decides to fuck your asshole cuz it can and then when you can't beat that challenge it dumbs it down to being easier than it normally would be, as if to add insult to injury

I love how Chrono Cross subverts this. If you say you don't want Kid to join your party near the start of the game she asks again making it seem like it's one of those cases where you can't say no, but if you tell her no three times she actually fucks off for awhile and you get another opportunity in the story to recruit her later. In fact if you keep telling her "no" at every opportunity you can get through most of the game without her, and she's a fairly critical character to the story. Really surprising especially for a JRPG, which generally have limited dialogue choices to begin with.

Zelos was still pretty cool.

I thought he was still shown to care enough though, especially at the start when he attacks the shadows and tells you to run away or the other fight where everyone thinks he died so the group could escape, even though he was just being a prankster.

That's the entire point. You just suck, fggt

2015

Dying Light.
Broken scripting:
Virals in Old Town should only spawn as reaction to noise but constantly spawn even when walking around in camouflage and in singleplayer. Otherwise also during forced combat / running parts (NPCs falling through the world, running off elsewhere... this also happens sometimes on escort quests).

Final Boss fight:
Main game and addon both had custom final boss mechanics used nowhere in the game before. Both caused all your skill points and gear to become obsolete. Can't just get a good fight, have to force *special mechanic* and in Dying Light 2 Harran has just been abandoned as story instead of continued. So we never know whether there really only were bad endings possible (Dr. Camden's story string had just been abandoned for pseudo-drama.).

>not doing this so they'll leave your important characters alone

In Nioh 1 you can get through the first playthrough with only stuff you pick up, only later on ng++ and up does loot become really important and its really just getting gear that is part of a set with extra bonuses since you can custom craft the best affixes fairly easily onto gear outside of star affixes which are only really needed on weapons. There's a process to get them but savescumming is encouraged for it unless you want to spend way too much money and resources for it.

The gameplay is really fun until very endgame where oneshotting everything is the best build.

Turn based combat, but i think i'm going to enjoy Parasite Eve when i finally play it to the end, i gave it a try and it was OK, maybe for the Resident Evil esque feel.

I dropped DK64 because of this. I think, i honestly forgot why i dropped it, maybe just because it wasn't fun.

So? That just means they thought it was fine until they got backlash.

I mean, how hard it is?: make speed depend on the vehicle, and make the better drivers not crash into things.

That can be great though, as long as the teammate isn't your designated DPS or Buffer. If only the one guy gets damaged, then that means you just get free turns with the rest. Revival items/spells are usually cheap enough to the point that it becomes a good trade at some point of the game.

Kratos has good reasons to betray Mithos.

Zelos is only doing it so try and make sure he is back in the party's good graces after betraying them. Aka saving his own fucking skin

Zelos has no reason to help you, especially if he thinks that Mithos is the "winning side." Even less reason to get back in your party's good graces if he's just worked so hard to convince your party to kill him for his sister's sake.

Note to self: Make incredibly hard boss fight that lets the game continue if you lose, but if you manage to beat them, the game's storyline changes.

It's just that the original already looks and plays perfectly, in fact all M&L games do. Probably the most pointless remakes Nintendo has ever released.

In Oblivion at least you can often use the wait function to just teleport them to destination, or manually push their slow asses. Games where you don't even have this are the worst.

Max Payne 3, imo, was when Rockstar stopped being good.

I think Dead Space 1 and 2 did this really well.

The issue is that now on replays or if the game is played on superior hardware or gets remastered we now have a game filled with the equivalent of unskippable cutscenes that serve zero purpose.

It actually does. Eventually the scene fades out and continues, you don't need to get hit.

Witcher 2 and 3 were really great on calling out suspicious fuckers right away. And if you aren't outright able to accuse then of anything you can clearly make it an obvious intent with a dialogue option. Like bringing up that you're uncomfortable with the way they're talking or the way they keep looking over their shoulder nervously.

I agree and i dont think most of v has really thought this one through. A forced interaction is always going to take a set amount of time regardless of hardware specs whereas a loading screen might be nonexistent when you play the game in 5 years on newer hardware.

Upgrades by XP points, skill trees and all that shit. If you have to give me the gameplay mechanics in little doses is because you think your game isn't good enough, that if i see everything from the start i would get bored of it sooner.

Oblivion on highest difficulty requires you to play a mage 100%. Conjuring OP

Zelos's entire motivation is to get his sister out from under the Church of Martel's thumb.

He's Chosen because he doesn't want them to activate her Crucix Crystal. He cooperates with Crucix for the same reason. In the end, he knows that if he's dead, she'll be safe either way: Either she's the new Chosen of Tethe'alla (bad, but better than dead in retailation for his betrayal) or, if you win, she's released entirely.

In either case, he's working towards your goal: His betrayal, real or fake, is the only reason you can get the Aionis: Either directly, or through taking heat off of Kratos

Rubber-banding is necessary for racing games except maybe on the highest difficulty setting where any mistake in your curve can cause you to lose. Overtaking is why racing games are fun so you need to keep the competitors close together. It just wouldn't be fun on any middle difficulty.

Maybe have the other cars drive worse if they're beating you, and drive perfect if they're behind you just without any speed buffs. Though that's harder to program and players wouldn't really notice so rubber-banding is the easiest solution.

I like that in Titanfall 2 you can go to some crazy places. Unfortunately you are limited by a "fleed from battle" 7 or 8 second timer but at least it's not a straight up invisible wall. (except for Drydock in multiplayer; the area over the map is blocked by a wall and it's sometimes infuriating when ejecting from a titan and not being able to escape enemies bc of it)
