TheMightyEthan Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 The Persona games do it for sure (I'm playing Persona 3 Portable right now, and Persona 4 Golden did it too). I feel like there are other JRPGs that I've played that also did it, but that would have been like 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Why can't language packs be optional installs? It's so much space that I'm never going to have any use for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Because maybe you'll decide you'd like to play Deus Ex in Portuguese some day and your internet will be down and if the language packs were optional then you'd just be screwed wouldn't you? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Eu não pedi para este! (But yeah, making language DLC or something would make much more sense than having you download everything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Games where you have to chase down and catch enemies but they run the same speed as you so you're just chasing them for ages hoping the AI messes up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Though the flipside of this is games where the NPCs walk/run at a different speed to you. Amazed there's only a few games even in modern times that have NPCs walking tied to your own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Yes, anytime I'm supposed to follow/walk alongside someone there needs to be an easy way to walk exactly the same speed as them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Assassin's Creed does it well. Where it sort of soft-locks you together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 So grabbed the PS+ version of Dirt 3 for siblings PS3. They wanted to do splitscreen but you're pretty limited by the amount of cars that are unlocked by default. Always hated it in games where the SP dictates what you get access to in the MP. I'm sure my dad will be happy to play through the campaign for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Okay Shantae, enough with fucking instant kill platforming sections. The later levels are filled with them and it's tiresome. Give me interesting enemies to fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Maybe I'm overlooking something here, but why do some games insist on capping equipment levels but then going past it anyway by adding some weird, confusing bullcrap to exceed the level cap? Destiny did it with the light levels and Nioh also does it by capping equipment at level 150 but allowing you to get equipment up to level +10. Why do that? Why not just make the cap higher? The higher level equipment can still be rare drops if that's the point of it. Edited March 8, 2017 by Mister Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I really hate single player games, usually open-world ones, that still require you to sign in to some bullcrap online component every time you boot the game up. Even if you want to play offline, sometimes it'll try to sign in automatically without even asking you. Stop it! I don't care about your god damn stat tracking! I just want to play the game and you're wasting my fucking time! It's even worse if the game is new and the servers are being slammed. Then you have to sit through all that just to get an error message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Just Cause 3 is an absolute fucker for this. It doesn't just do it the first time, it doesn't have a "play offline" option and their servers seem pretty flaky so every challenge is delayed by connecting to server crap, which totally spoils an otherwise really fun game.

TheMightyEthan Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Does disconnecting your network help? (I get that you shouldn't have to do that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Disconnecting would "fix" it. But as you say, it shouldn't come to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted April 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Putting narrow corridors in games with bad cameras should be banned. Putting bosses in those same corridors should be punishable by forty lashes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Unskippable 'event' videos that could just be a couple bits of text and only activate if you launch the event not everytime you load the game (with new players). Mainly focused on CTR's Grand Prix thing which spends a good few minutes explaining how it works (play the game, unlock stuff. kinda simple shit, it's not the Steam Summer Sale guys), before you can actually play the game with your siblings n race about.

MetalCaveman Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Having dialogue that makes fun of dumb/annoying/stupid quests and mechanics. If you feel the need to be "meta" about it and make fun of how dumb this quest is... Maybe don't have it there in the first place? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a game called Supraland which falls foul of this, constantly. When I mentioned it to the dev via twitter, I got some answer back about how its funny or something. Like, nah. I understand why someone might think its funny but you built your entire storyline around something which you're poking fun at in the lamest possible way. Stop.

deanb Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Didn't play it but supposedly the Deadpool game makes fun of how everyone hates sewer levels....then has a sewer level. Making a nod that you're aware of bad tropes doesn't absolve you of using them, if anything it makes it worse because you're aware of the trope and still use it. I think the only time where making nods to being a game and abusing the tropes associated with that was decent was with the D&D expansion for Borderlands 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Sunset Overdrive does this a bunch, worse is that they constantly knowledge that there are better ways to do it but then go "it wouldn't be a game without this annoying quest in right?!". The Borderlands 2 DLC is a good example of when and how it can work, though I never finished the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
