ITT Little things that make you mad as fuck

>Equipped weapons and armour don't appear in cutscenes

>RPG or game with RPG mechanics that doesn't have a New Game + feature

Seriously, this shit baffles me. Witcher 2 and Deus Ex HR come to mind. I modded Deus Ex to have it because I simply couldn't believe it after beating the game on the hardest difficulty. I had so much fun playing the game through again with all the fun powersup, hacking everything and playing with the AI. Fucking loved that game.

Witcher 2 had dark mode, with all of that gear that was completely useless because you only get it at the END of the acts.

Look at the first Mass Effect game. It had a handful of story missions but a bunch of side quests and endless replayability, same for the Souls games. I guarantee Mass Effect wouldn't have been as popular without NG+ that feature made the game.

H-HAYAI!!

Why is it so fucking hard to implement this option?

Honestly, a game where you have to play the game from the start twice for unlockables and better endings is a badly designed game.

>puzzle is thrown into game haphazardly

Seriously. Fuck that final puzzle in the Far Harbor DLC. Unless you knew the way to cheap that shit you were wasting minutes moving blocks for nothing. For literally nothing.

why did you start a big jrpg if youre that autistic?

Just finished Bulletstorm today, pretty fun overall too much talking.
Anyway, when there is some dialogue with your friends the game autoequips the default weapon and forces you to walk, I mean, It's still in-game, why can't I talk with my shotgun?

>LMAO FOLLOW THIS NPC WHO WALKS SLIGHTLY FUCKING SLOWER THAN YOU 3 MILES TO THE NEXT WHATEVER

fucking why? Why can't i just move at the exact same speed as the NPC and if he goes out of range he waits for a sec?

Assassins Creed in a nutshell

People like you make me genuinely grateful I'm not a compulsive person. It seems like a real struggle.

>escort mission
>instead of surrounding the escort, your teammates walk directly behind you

Have you considered that they do that to determine whether you want inverted controls?

>no option to skip tutorial
>no option to skip cutscenes
>only options are for audio

weeb games, everyone

I used to agree. But clearly tutorials cannot be skippable. The average gamer will ignore everything they're not forced to sit through then complain that the game doesn't explain anything.

running takes up stamina, and you have to stand still to recharge stamina
fucking gay

>developing shit for the average gamer

Yep. Why would you choose to make less money when you could make more money. If I have to sit through a 5 minute tutorial to play DMC5 I'll still buy the game, but if DMC5 doesn't explain itself then Joe Shitatgames probably won't.

You can inconvenience core gamers to get more sales from casuals and you probably should do so.

...

Not sure how understanding basic business principals makes me a "normie". I think that's just your way of admitting I'm right.

I don't have to like forced tutorials to understand why they're there and I'm not dumb enough to expect a business to want to do anything other than make the most money possible.

>game has a "beat the game in one life" feature
>unskippable 5 minute cutscene at the beginning

seriously eidos if you're gonna copy DOOM's idea at least copy the part where they skip the intro.

>fixes the problem in one game

T-thanks Game Freak

HEY, YOU WANNA 100% THE MONSTER ENCYCLOPEDIA IN YER METROIDVANIA?

FUCK YOU!

>jap game
>no jap VA

Maybe if the next tutorial step wasnt [press W to move forward!]

if the va is gonna be shitty, i'd prefer to not understand it

exactly.

I did it for skyrim and Fallout 4 too, makes the game a lot more tolerable

wish I did it for watchdogs as well, fucking hated the protag's voice.

Look at that door.

>go into game expecting a brief distraction
>it's so fantastic you can't stop playing

Just turn off voices. The jap ones are still shitty dude.

I can't tell if they're shitty or not though, japs all sound the same, whether it's anime or sword of doom

The women puncture your eardrum trying to sound cute and the guys all sound like weiners.

>game has huge emphasis on melee but there are guns
>gunplay is terribly shit
looking at you, dying light
this and the shitty boss fights really soured my overall enjoyment of that game

They don't really do that much in non-JRPGs.

skyrim for instance's Jap voices just sound like normal human beings

Gunplay can never be as good as melee imo. There's just not as much room for interesting mechanics.

>"realistic" shooter

I think I remember Sleeping Dogs being like this, where the guns were completely awful to try to use.

>Game has crippling rng that fucks eveything more that it would help to be considered worthwhile or good game design
>has a shitty manchild fanbase that will defend anything that this publisher shits out
'it wouldnt have mattered anyway' is the most shittiest fucking retarded thing that someone could say.

What the FUCK are you talking about?

RNG in a game that could do without it. which is practically every game anyway, sir.

Rng is fine in most games. Risk management is a perfectly valid skill.

But user, that IS the distraction

>spend most of the game playing with all the mechanics.

>later levels remove mechanics to inflate the difficulty

what game?

>character doesn't sheathe weapons when walking around in a civilian area
I think I dropped kotor because of this. Looked so stupid.

>that feature is never seen again in newer iterations
Holy fucking shit this pisses me off. Like god damn, if you're going to make a sequel, everyone on the staff, especially the game designers should know the game down to its every detail.

Equally horrible:
>Start up RPG
>"YOU ARE A FUCKING BADASS YOU ARE THE GREATEST HERO TO GRACE THIS EARTH NOW KILL THIS GIGANTIC CITY DESTROYING MEGADEMON"
>Turn off RPG

In an RPG, you should start weak and slowly scale up to face greater challenges. I want to earn power, not have it handed to me.

>unskipable tutorial battles and missions to teach you basic game mechanics you already learned from previous games in the series or genre

Holy FUCK Japan, I'VE PLAYED A JRPG AND TACTICAL RPG BEFORE, LET ME SKIP THIS SHIT, I KNOW HOW FUCKING GRID BASED COMBAT WORKS

Automatic shit story, I'm looking at you, Japanese devs.

I honestly prefer it to "oh man you're totally just a regular guy but oh wow holy shit you're still killing the demon king. Wow an ordinary man like you killing the king of demons, wow you sure are just a regular old dude but you still won because you just worked that hard gosh."

If you're in such a hurry just steal a god damn car

try playing gothic desu, you'll get your shit bashed in at the beginning and the fighting animation literally shows you being unable to hold a one-handed sword properly

>Controls are behind your inputs
>it's an offline game

Also tanky controls, stamina bars, weighted swings. They do not add legitimate difficulty, just control barriers. If you were gonna throw the artificial difficulty buzzwords at anything I'd say these things would be it.

Keep in mind I'm not a underage shitstain so I dont throw tank cotnrols under the bus as they're done in RE, or other games where its a learning curve those are fine. We're talking about garbage like monhun where overcoming poorly realized and poorly planned out mechanics limit the player unreasonably. Incoming capdrones and criticism deflectors

>game gives you free control during cutscenes to try to hide the fact that it has cutscenes.
>don't pay attention to the dialogue because you're too busy fucking about in whatever room the game locks you in until they finish talking

>Weighted swings
>Bad

git gud

thanks for the laugh user, that was a good one

>there's more of those than actual gameplay
>good chunk of the gameplay is moving shit around to progress

>starting weapon is better than like half of the item drops
>(game has skill tree) totally useless skills nobody in their right mind would equip, they're just there to give a bigger illusion of choice

>NPC walks through puddle
>the water ripples as it should
>you walk through puddle
>nothing

and there it is, the quintessential non-argument used by underage trouser stains to defend bad controls and bad game mechanics.

Different and bad are not the same thing. Monhun is a fantastic example of weighty combat dmc is a fantastic example of fast combat. Both are good.

git gud

>They do not add legitimate difficulty

I'm pretty sure most of the time that's not there to add difficulty, but to make heavy weapons actually FEEL like heavy weapons, which is a great thing.

Fuck games with floaty, weightless combat like Musous and similar shit.

Your post just reeked of "I'm not good at these mechanics so I don't like them."

Half Life 2

>look down
>don't see my own legs

What does you being a disgusting fatass have to do with the topic of this thread?

>jump
>don't see legs

What am I? A fucking pogo stick?

>can't do certain events until the second playthrough

Jesus Christ, user
for all we know he's a war veteran who lost his legs saving lives

>weighted swings

I don't understand, user.
Are you saying greatswords, hammers etc. should swing swiftly like shortswords, or do you mean slow shitty attacks for daggers/rapiers and such?

Weighted swings with crushing weapons feel so good when you actually connect.

No lighting options in character creators to see how your guy will look in different environments and scenes

indeed, things like that are indications that hte devs just don't care enough about hte product. It felt mmo as it was, but the empty areas combined with that made it very offputting. I'm sure the story is great but I want everything else to be some what competent at least too.

He clearly prefers fast paced games with animations cancels and shit. But instead of realizing that's just his preference he's dumb and thinks that means slow weighty games are inherently bad.

Basically despite calling everyone else underaged he's mentally stunted himself.

when you swing a massive weapon , it connects with an enemy, and there's no hitstop, stagger, or any feedback at all, just makes shit feel so god damn light and weightless

I agree
I wish my weapon stopped on enemies, so it felt weighty an real.

One of many reasons Skyrim is trash.

It's still a great game worth finishing though user, you should get through it.

I suppose it simulates something heavy ripping or colliding through flesh/material but imo it makes combat feel nice with big weapons

>reach new town
>dish out all your money on new armor and weapons
>they show up in chests at the very start of the next dungeon

Do people actually like seeing legs?

I just get annoyed especially if I want to roleplay a character when i looked down and both knees are locked straight, or the slow walk with weapon drawn is, again, walking straight forward and not walking with their off-shoulder forward.

If they're not gonna animate properly I'd just prefer if they didn't do it at all

Oblivion was a bigger offender of this

I swear shops in RPGs will always be shit. And there will always exist nearly unavoidable to find exploits to get endless cash which ruins the currency system too.

No elder scrolls game has anything resembling impact imo. You both just swing your foam bats until one guy runs out of hp. They're basically electronic larping.

That's more of a side effect of being autistic

If there could be one game where a mace or morningstar could get lodged in an enemies shield for a split-second so your guy actually had to pull it back out, I'd die a happy man

And to speed if up, you kick the enemy and he falls down because he's off balance

>want to replay game
>tutorial section is 2 hours long
>it's unskippable

>Game gives you lots of combos and tools to fight and destroy shit with.
>End up only using a select few in the second half of the game due to enemies and bosses having ways to to flat out ignore or nullify most of your tools.

>game knows it's a game

I hate playing anything like a fighting game against a cpu and mind games turn into coin flips.

The old dbz games would have minigame sort of things during some supers and of course the cpu can just read your input. Dissidia has a similar mechanic and the cpu can just choose to dodge on higher difficulties.

This is something that's so prevalent in games it's not even funny, and they never get called out for it. The tranq gun in metal gear singlehandedly breaks the entire game and you have to pretend that you don't have it. You have to impose the challenge onto the game yourself instead of just being able to play your best. Dishonored is the same, just a broken game. "If you don't like it then don't use it" is such a prevalent game design philosophy and I hate it.

>Reeeee why can't I fling this giant sword around at the speed of light
Git motherfucking gud you shitter

>top down game

GBA era games especially this fucks me up.

What game?

living under: a rock

Dragon's Dogma, looks like Steam version, it's real fun

There is a time and place for weighted and floaty combat. Getting that giant hammer to slam a person so hard their face is the first thing that hits the ground feels amazing. Jumping though a room and slashing people in half while sliding like a weeb's wet dream also feels great. You just gotta make sure the mechanics feel solid for whichever one you choose. But yeah, I personally love heavy fighting styles more than weightless combat.

name a game where weightless combat felt good

otogi, bunjingai

i know youre going to google those two games because youve never heard of them before.

weeb

not an argument

i'm not arguing, i'm saying you're a pathetic weeb

where do you think you are?

america

america isn't the internet friendo

Big enemies, specially in FPS
>Giant guy without armor or anything, just a fat, 3 mt tall guy with a shotgun, bonus if he is topless

nobody said that m8, you're on a Japanese inspired website created to mirror a Japanese site made so people could discuss Japanese anime, which is now owned by a Japanese man.

Just being here kind of makes you a weeaboo, at least by some association.

>i'm a huge nerd therefore everyone else is a huge nerd

dmc god hand basically most of the classic action games, they're not really weightless but you can animation cancel like a motherfucker.

glad you agree
