Modern gaming tropes that you’re absolutely tired of seeing

Sequels, Rehashes, Remakes & Reboots. If your franchise isn’t constantly innovating itself like Resident Evil, it should be killed & replaced with a original IP

It should be illegal to have voiced characters at all

I don't think constant innovation is required, hell I think that's part of the reason why sequels often times turn out so dog shit. Instead of building on the strengths of the previous games and expanding on it, nowadays everything is so overly re-worked it's almost like it's a different game and never seems to come out for the better

Generic Short haired male protagonists that all look the same

fuck crafting, i hate when they make you try to keep track of 2-3 out of 1000 pieces of trash just to make some shitty item

The one where journalists tell me what to think. But that's not a game-exclusive thing though.

Forced diversity and other forms of promoting faggotary should be on top

Inevitable if the game has hitscan (which also needs to go)

but that's a good thing

hitscan works for arena shooters with small maps

The fact that modern western games (save for indies) forgot what games are all about: engaging gameplay. God bless Japan for still staying gameplay focused.

>Oh, you have a conflicted morality and there are some good things and some bad things you would do naturally? That's too bad, we tied all the upgrades to hoarding alignment points on either side.
Why even offer multiple discrete choices throughout the narrative when the actual decision is choosing good or evil at the very start of the game?

Hello /an/on.

No it's one mission repeated with minor variations.

It's like clockwork, this disgusting filth of a cult. How a movement could, at once, be so vehemently anti-male, yet assume that the utmost personal esteem is derived from sex. Also connecting every opinion regarding their filthy agenda to sexual frustration, when that isn't even the case most of the time. Truly, a stupid cancer that cannot dissolve too quickly.

Those are not exceptions. There are games in each of those series in which the silent protagonist bit was fucking stupid. Silent protagonists only work for games with minimal story or games with writing so amazing that you never notice the protag doesn't speak.

But it's almost always the opposite. Those sorts of games are much, much easier for evil characters because they don't give all their money and items away to useless bums and they steal the best equipment.

Got em

This one in particular is a common trap that devs fall into. But if the "meaningful choises" aren't a part of building your character in a set direction then you have to make them actually impact the world, which is a lot of work

tall grass isnt bad at all, Far Cry 1 had some major issues with stealth since the enemies could see through foliage, the stealth was very unreliable. If that mechanic was popular back then then the foliage could have been more balanced with short grass where you obviously couldnt hide and the more dense areas with tall grass and big bushes where you knew for certain you could.

In stealth overall Im more upset by the constant implementation of it while keeping it very basic

One example out of ten, if the ratio is even that. The same argument could be used for any trope in this thread, because there are no absolutes in this discussion. For every "straight white males" there's the latest Wolfenstein with the afro-haired negress.

too costly for some devs esp smaller rpgs with lots of writing sometimes funner reading in your head than having some generiactor drilled into your ear

Ace Combat

Crafting
Walking segments where characters vomit exposition at you until you reach an inescapable battle arena

the ear can hear more nuances in distance and positioning than the best sound designer can put in a game or the best headphones can relay.
same with seeing, and entirely out of the question with smell.
games communicate their information largely through visual clues, either text or by showing what is happening, and if they need to show things that are obviously not visible since they pertain through other senses, the best you can do is show it through walls or make it brightly colored and obvious.

This, and also heavily scripted non-shooting segments in FPS games

>once the player is spotted everyone knows their position

Far Cry 3 had it worse. If you approach a base and kill someone with a suppressed sniper rifle from a distance, instead of them looking around the area, they all walk to where you are. It was stupid as fuck.

So much fucking this.
Silent protagonists only worked when games had simple stories, but the more complex the narrative the more it makes no sense and makes the story telling incoherent.
HL2 already struggled to do silent Gordon where in HL1 it fit perfectly.
By Episode 1 and 2 silent Gordon made 0 fucking sense as you interacted with characters all time.

Some games can still work with those silly trope, but in others its just weird as fuck.
On other hand we get games like Dishonored 2 where the voice acting is clearly stuck on after the game was written and made so your character never talks to anybody, just monologues to himself or makes weird one liners that dosnt seem to be acknowledged by anybody. Thats even fucking weirder as it makes it seem like nobody can hear your character.

>sprint

The bum on the street example gives you like 5 xp for killing him. That is not going to make a difference in leveling.

Credits also dont really serve a purpose in that game. All the best gear you get naturally, minus a few weapons you can give to the non-jedi characters, that is extremely overpriced for what it gives.

Like yes your examples are correct, KotOR is a game where being a dark character makes the game easier, but its such a small change, you wont even notice it while playing. If you do every dark option in the game compared to every light, the end result is that you will hit max level like 2 encounters earlier and thats it. And for money, it doesnt even make a difference because money is worthless in that game.

The real red pill is that everyone was kings. In every society ever, people got into a position of power, and then they had probably had sex. It's probably much more unlikely that all your ancestors were peasantry than any one of your ancestors being some kind of leader or royalty. Everyone was kangz n shit

The /pol/lacks you see shit up threads are just the minority who can't turn it off. I'm not convinced resetera tourists are capable of turning it off, though thankfully the vast majority are actually afraid to visit here so the number of cases stsys relatively low.

I'm almost level 100 now and from the start I've done purely magic archer+ranger but had to change to fighter for a short while to dragonforge my pawn's stuff and yeah you're right, but I feel this only really matters in BBI where every enemy is a walking tank of health that can two or three shot you, I want to use my other Ranger skills and I can't because the guided shot is just too good.

Big empty map with nothing in it. It's the laziest and biggest fucking meme on the industry right now, I think. The way companies flaunt their big map, as if there's something to do in it. "Wow, you get to walk around a lot in this big empty map made by a AAA dev!". Fucking stupid.

More games should have a system like Alien Isolation or RE7.

>KO'd and gear stolen despite your full body armor

I fucking hate it when you start up a game and you have to go through this slow tutorial section that tells you the controls. It's especially annoying in a first person shooter and the character is simply going way too fucking slow.

Once you finish learning how to crouch or some shit, then you have to wait for the fucking idiot NPC to walk all the way over to the next objective so you can learn the function of how to USE things as if it was some foreign concept. I mean, it's a first person shooter, what the fuck is there to really hammer into the player's head outside of aim and shoot?

And then following that stupid shit, you'll come across a section where another character talks to you about what's going on in the world and blah blah blah and WHO GIVES A SHIT just let me play the game and go shoot stuff like a fucking monkey already. Games do too much nowadays at the beginning. They need to learn to leave the player alone.

In bioshock you get way more adam, or whatever that shit that powers the plasmids is called, but you loose a few secret upgrades that the little sister give to you. In infamous being evil makes you waaaaay more powerful to the point i would always do the good route on easy/medium and play the hardest difficulty as an evil guy. Being good just meant you would have shittier powers and would have to risk yourself way more to finish enemies, in the evil route you even get 100% upgraded in infamous 1 without having to collect all the 300 shards.

Well, yeah, in certain games its retarded how close an enemy can be and he still cant see you, but that is a problem that isnt outright from the mechanic. You said shadows, and yeah, some games did that with shadows, but then others, even in deep darkness the enemy could still see you if close enough, like Splinter Cell.
With grass it should be the same, depending on light and distance the closer you could get without being spotted. But I still prefer clear defined areas then the oldschool bushes and shrubbs

ARMA does just fine. The key is that bullets aren't lasers, and have drop-off, ballistic effects such as coriolis, and are individually different from every other round fired due to manufacturing not being perfect. The same box of ammo from the highest quality brands will have a variance of +/- 100m/s at the very least between the fastest and slowest round.

The round can still get there instantly, more or less, but it shouldn't be a laser or a perfect parabola.

pebblechuck is such a shitty artist

Because they usually substitute a health bar by smearing jam all over your screen when you're low on health. It also completely kills the flow of combat.

I wasn't too bothered about this till I watched my brother play rdr2, and there's a lot of parts where you mash a button at something stupid or walk over to something to do one little thing, like the part where you put the wagon wheel back on. It just occurred to me that they were just worst, unskippable cutscenes.

The morality meter isn't a bad thing in and of itself. The problem is the way it's implemented is always black out white and there is never any inventive to going for the middle ground.

Choices never present an equal reward either. One choice always gets you something significantly better (usually the "good" option) than the other when it should be either choice giving an equal but different reward.

Infamous probably did the best job with morality presenting you with equal but different rewards for being good/evil but it still failed completely in that you literally couldn't choose a middle ground because specific morality values were tied to progressing the story and your skills.

ME2 did a better job at giving a middle ground by providing two separate meters instead of a single meter that tips back and forth but it still provided more incentive to go all in on one side than balancing based on what you actually thought was the right choice to make on a case by case basis because it still locked dialogue choices behind being paragon/renegade enough to make them.

Morality systems are still a great idea in theory when it comes to role playing genes but they fall apart in practice because the devs never think about how morality actually works.

how much does the difference in bullet speed among brands affect gameplay, though?

Games as a service. I want to beat your game and move on, not play it for half my life and invest hundreds of dollars in something that's free or, even worse, pay-to-play. If you want me to play the game for longer than a month, do the right thing and make the gameplay loop compelling. Don't just add in microtransactions and a battle pass when your game is fundamentally broken, Royal Heights and Apex Legends getting most of this focus. Royal Heights was literally in a pre-alpha state, but that didn't stop the game from having purchasable coins and cosmetic items unlocked from grind or paying, and Apex Legends? No solo queue and the Mozambique was broken for months, but that didn't stop them from adding a battle pass that was shit and nothing else. When your game is shit, but you put cosmetics behind a paywall? That's shit. When I buy the game for 60 bucks, but THEN have to pay for a 20$ season pass for content that's not even out yet? That's shit. When your matchmaking is broken enough that noobs are getting paired against level 100+ players? That's shit.

Fuck games as a service. If I wanted a "lifelong commitment" that ends when I stop paying and giving a shit, i'll get married.

Direction arrows.
Linear direction.
Bullet sponge enemies.
Anything that removes the difficulty of the game.

The start of RDR2 is a literal movie.

Well in DS1 he wasn't that crazy.

I don't get GaaS. The market can only support so much. Are we all supposed to be subscribed to dozens of games?

Do you not know what the word trope means?

>>Tattoos, piercings, and colored hair on every character
Also add Skrillex hairstyle.

I want small thin girls lifting giant weapons.

GaaS solves that by allowing the big companies to make fewer games. Instead of fighting tooth and nail to get every consumer every release, they can rely on brand loyalty to keep customers instead of needing to fight a new war with every release.

GaaS means you're guaranteed repeat business.

This but unironically.

Wolfenstein 2 on I Am Death Incarnate is fucking awful because of this shit. It's not even a "git gud" situation, the combat becomes impossibly hard and the damage indication is barely there.

Social justice re-imaginings.

Fallout 4 proved that having a talking protagonist is not a good idea for that type of game

To extend this, as you just reminded me of another "trope" that I despise while it becomes more common, is to have dozens upon dozens of choices for builds/skill setups and there being truly only 2-4 that are actually "good" for the long-term. Even worse in games with any sort of learning curve and little feedback for your choices until it's too late to do anything about it. While building is something I enjoy, and I take my sweet ass time doing it in those games, having "useless" choices to sift through that don't really do anything cool or useful is annoying.

why can't we have games with competent blacksmiths?

Open world anything. It adds nothing but a huge sandbox full of nothing that looks pretty.

A protagonist that talks to themselves constantly, pointing out things in the world and giving the player "tips" on what to do like we're too retarded to figure it out on our own. Absolutely immersion breaking too.

Bros, my dialogue choices are the entire line your character says, but I'm stuck and could use some concensus
after clicking it, should it be like:
>character says the full line like in monkey Island, opening you up to gags like what you say differing to what you picked on occasion as a joke
>skip straight to their answer, without playing out what you say, more like fallout 3

>Buy item from vendor at for the price of 325982375982375$

I get that it has to be lower, but it's especially dumb in RPGs where some fucking smith won't pay more than 1 gold piece for some famous sword forged by literal gods.

I don't like the game itself too much, but I fucking love how in warframe you can move around by mixing-up power jumps, slides, double jumps and such to a ridiculous degree of fast
made me realize how most of the other games are clunky and slow as shit when it comes to movement

Women and minorities.

Just play it as death being a game over then and rotate hard saves.

We don't know what hair he has in D2016
Maybe he's bald

What's wrong with that exactly? I guess making it non-interactable would be less annoying. But it forces you to play through the level then open a shortcut so you don't have to do it all again.

The main strength of games over other mediums is their ability to put you directly in the world. Having a voiced protagonist plays directly against that, as if anything is truly immersion-breaking in a game, it's hearing another person's voice coming out of your mouth. At that point the character is no longer "you," and the feeling is a bit more akin to watching someone else's story play out rather than experiencing your own.

I'd love to never see another experience, credit, etc system in a shooter ever again. I'm so fucking sick of artificial time sinks getting between me and content

it is extremely fun to work toward a goal and get a reward for it, and a good way to not overwhelm new players with a ridiculous amount of options.

pretty much every FPS game does this poorly though

Based and redpilled

And if I were from /pol/? That wouldn't be a valid argument. The people pushing "diversity" don't like video games, they're here to infiltrate and subvert and destroy. The group of people they claim to be "inclusive" of don't play video games.

Wh*te people

Have kids

really bad level scaling makes a game really tiresome to play

Even worse if getting into position to do the prompts is tricky and you need them up just so you know when you can do the action you want, so while you can turn them off they may as well be required.

As much as I hate to compliment Fallout 4 the junk system made the illusion thousands of materials but really it was only a few and they had many uses

short answer because testers complained about it because it broke immersion. Read on on the EA Bethesda and Ubisoft test data from 2009 up, it's soul crushing

Bioware had this worse in the 00s

and somehow biofags found ME2 worse when it was the same damn thing but had slightly more nuance with choices and abandoned that broken gear and level system. It be like eating shit and then getting mad someone took the cold bits out of it. You were always eating shit ya dumbass.
