Post a worse mechanic than weapon durability or level scaling

>level scaling if done well is pretty good, only grindscrubs hate it cause they cant curbstomp the game.

Level scaling sucks because it means the developer can't be arsed to make a bestiary with more than 10 things in it, so you're still fighting the same bandits you were fighting 20 hours ago, now they've got diamond plate armor and soul-stealing katanas rather than leather gherkins and knives.

Player level is pointless if everything in the game scales with you for sure

poorly designed open worlds, cause I enjoy traveling for several minutes just to start the next piece of meaningful content because exploration is pointless and there's not much else to do other than admire the landscape and think how boring this is.

you know you can have a large bestiary and still have level scaling, right?

Weapon durability/condition can work if it's done right. For example, Metro Exodus did a pretty good job with it:
>If you crawl in mud or get caught in a sand storm your rifle will get dirty
>Likewise, continually using the rifle without maintenance at a work station will fowl it up
>This results in weapon malfunctions that can seriously screw you in the heat of battle
>If you neglect your weapons long enough they'll fail to operate entirely
>As a result you quickly learn the importance of cleaning your weapons
>Take care of your gear and your gear will take care of you

Unfortunately you cannot clean your weapons in the field, so that's unrealistic. Still a way better system than, say, Far Cry 2.

Based retard.

im sorry I insulted your pickle rick game

>bullet sponges
>color coding
>cover systems
>loot and grind oriented gameplay in general

And finally, slow-mo you have no control over. One of the reasons it's still hard for me to get into games like Killing Floor is because ZED time is just so fucking stupid. F.E.A.R had done the slow-mo thing 4 years before and actually gave the player control over it, they had no excuse.

>no control over zed time

You know that developers love cutting corners, right? The point is that you cannot have a small bestiary and no level scaling. Not unless you want it to stick out like a sore thumb.

I don’t mind degradation/durability so long as there are ample materials to use for repair. I liked gathering rifles in FO3 to use as resources for repairing this one unique rifle I had picked up.

Scaling can fuck off

>Weapon durability
Depends on how it's handled. It's fine if weapons are treated as disposable resources and the game's designed around that. Stupid if it just exists to add a repair chore like dark souls or pre-skyrim TES.

>Level scaling
Inexcusable. May as well just remove all leveling mechanics altogether if you're doing this.

hunger/thirst
constant battery dependant
insane high fall damage

weapon durability can work just fine if you're given the appropriate tools to maintain your weapons and properly judge their condition. Level scaling on the other hand I can't think of any way to make it work

I felt bad that no one took your bait so here's a free (you)

The only game where level scaling actually worked was Pokemon Gen 5 with level scaled exp, it was the only proper way where you can't railroad the game piss easy

Encumbrance

I think it’s because my childhood consisted of many jrpgs that let you have 99 of every item but I feel the need to hoard everything

>FOLLOW

You follow this slow-moving npc while they open all the doors, deliver shitty exposition, and block you from moving forward.

Metro Exodus is filled with this shit. As well as most Modern warfare games.

Minimap that has enough information so that you don't need to look at the gameworld.

Always online for the sake of "socializing" and matchmaking.
Not only is it blatantly obvious that it is for DRM sake but the fact that the companies are lying in our faces and none bats an eye. it is the long term death of gaming as a whole with a community that actively supports and defends the practice.
It has ruined gaming sand will keep on trucking. Great mechanic for the publisher though.

Depends on what context weapon durability is in, because if you mean singleplayer exclusive games then for the most part I agree. But in the context of MMOs weapon durability is important to help keep the economy stable by having something you need to consistently use gold or whatever currency it is to dump into "nothing" because it is an infinite resource.

OR they could just wait for you/move at the same speed you are that other games do

OBSESSED

Weapon degrading was probably the worst thing in Dying Light and Dead Island. They had the durability of a plastic fork.

Find me something as terrible as looter-shooters. Which not only can encompass level scaling but also ruins all gunplay effective immediately because when you add levels and stats to guns you aren't picking guns you live, or creating a loadout based on what you might encounter, or switching between your weapons frequently, you're just picking whatever color coded weapon gives you the highest dps against increasingly spongelike enemies

Server-side hitboxes and hit detection. Yes this fucking exists

random drops when 90% of the items are basically the same thing

The cleaning having a resource cost ruined it for me honestly.

Easy, escort missions. I will never understand why they put that retarded bullshit on everything nowadays.

I think REmake 2’s adaptive difficulty is pretty fucking abhorrent

Generally worthless stats that have one important quality that makes them mandatory to level unless you want to gimp yourself such as ADP from Dark Souls 2 as one example
