I'd love to know your pet peeves in video games. :) - Dan from RG

ry-guy6507d ago

One of my pet peeves is this article appearing for the 3rd time in the pending queue.

I approved it the first and second time, but the third time you lost my points.

Sorry.

Wayward6507d ago

It's OK I understand, but every time it gets 1 or 2 pendings, nothing else. I think it's due to E3, anything that's not directly related is being skipped. Not had reports for it, but not had approvals either. It's confusing me!

ry-guy6507d ago

After our conversation I decided to redact my previous declaration.

I'll approve now :)

Jinxstar6507d ago

My biggest annoyance in games is how easy they have become. I welcome a game like Motorstorm or Ninja Gaiden every so often just to remember how hard gaming once was and can still be. When was the last time you saw a "Game over"? or lost your last life? I hate the lack of challenge anymore in games... I can look through my collection and look at upcoming games and see them for what they are i.e. Lego games or LBP. After seeing the new Production Interview for Prince of Persia where he basically says "You can't die from falling" Then I start to wonder why there is all the jumping anyway...

useless economy.
games that either give you too much money that you never have to properly balance a budgets, or give you all the items you will ever need so you don't need to bother buying stuff. Or games that don't give you enough money and force you to grind for equipment.

custom control schemes.
k, let me make my own control scheme that I think fits with how I play the game. Or at least give me some presets that let me change it, if I find it uncomfortable to reach button x but i have to use it often let me map the action to another button.

iiprotocolii6507d ago

Custom control schemes seems to be an issue with games. The reason why I love PC gaming so much is because it allows a user to manually assign each button on the controller.

poeo6507d ago

i dunno about you guys but.. i absolutely HATE when there is no separate animation for walking up or down stairs! you know what i mean, playing assassin's creed and marveling at all the amazingly detailed animations, and then you decide to just walk up/down some stairs and WTF, immersion ruined, the character just walks exactly the same as on flat ground. g-o-d-d-a-m-n-i-t. at least gtaiv did that right :)

pandaboy996507d ago

I love uncharted animations especially when he walks up and downstairs

Polluted6507d ago

Unskippable cut-scenes is a bad one. I get that they want you to see them, but on your second play through a game like Assassin's Creed is it really necessary? NO!

I find save systems in modern games to be really poor. PC gamers have been able to save a game whenever they want for years. Now home consoles have enough built in memory to do the same. Why are we still using checkpoints? Stupid.

poeo6507d ago

being able to save anywhere at anytime makes the game lose all challenge..

"I find save systems in modern games to be really poor. PC gamers have been able to save a game whenever they want for years. Now home consoles have enough built in memory to do the same. Why are we still using checkpoints? Stupid."

I have to totally agree with this. Check points are some of the most retarded things ever. It makes games feel like they came strait from the 80s. Maybe console gamers like it, I hate it. It makes me want to throw some of my PS3 games out of the window sometimes. It´s a stupid feature. Be done with it.

Polluted6507d ago

I don't know poeo. I haven't played any PC games in a while, but I do remember being legitimately challenged by Half-Life in a few spots. The same could be said for Quake 1 and 2, Duke Nukem 3d, Max Payne. Pretty much all the old PC games I used to play and I'm fairly certain they all allowed you to save whenever you wanted.
Besides if the only thing that's making a game challenging is long check points, then the devs haven't really done their job.

snakebite366507d ago

bad lip sync with annoying, bad hand gestures

Wayward6507d ago

I tend not to worry to much about it. Graphics in games get a lot worse than that, that said I can see why it would irritate some.

Danny_N6507d ago

Heh, always reminds me of GTA. They've still not managed to get it right.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio12d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
