Morpheus posted:This is not really a fault with the games, but there are some sequences in the Kingdom Hearts where you're flying around big open areas during boss fights that I can't loving stand. Not because of controls or anything, I think it might be some sort of mild agoraphobia I have or something like that. The fights with Chernobog, Ursula, and that boss at the end of KH2 where you're fighting him on a platform in some swirling nebula that you need to fly to...I don't know, but every time I get knocked off that thing, something inside me twitches as I see this huge open space. The Ursual and Chernobog fights less so, but it still makes me a little nervous. I experienced that during the fight with the last colossus in Shadow of the Colossus. At a point in the fight I took a look down and realized that holy gently caress that's a long way down.

The bunker level in the first Uncharted game. Up until that point you have been in these beautiful, open landscapes and suddenly you're playing Doom 3. I also got real tired of that loving church.

In Arkham Asylum I cut the rope that an inmate was holding onto so that he fell head first into poison gas. His status after that was unconscious.

Croc's Lair in Arkham Asylum is incredible annoying. It's a sewer level where you have to walk slowly around in a maze where there's an enemy who can one-hit kill you.

The final boss fight in Arkham Asylum: The Joker is hulked out on titan and you're expecting a pretty epic fight. Then he throws you into an arena and watch as his goons tries to kill you. He literally says that he don't want to fight you. And although Batman spraying explosive gel on his knuckles to punch him out it happens in a cutscene where you have no control over him

The mental patients in Assassin's Creed. They're even more annoying than the beggar women. I was trying to sit down on a bench to eavesdrop on a conversation but a mental patient kept pushing me until I landed in group of guards and got killed.

In the second game you get a trophy for playing Marco Polo in a pool, in the third game you get a trophy for playing Marco Solo (there's also a medal for petting every yak in a village).

The horse in Assassin's Creed. It becomes redundant once you get to use fast travelling but even if you decided to ride all the way to your location you are forced to move at a snail's pace to not arouse suspicion.

The contests you have to go through in order to win the golden mask in AssCreed II was pretty bad though. Especially since you don't get it after winning and have to steal it anyways.

Hannibal Smith posted:Yeah, I've played through that game 3 or 4 times, and have never once been able to beat the capture the flag contest legitimately. The only way I've ever been able to outrun the other guy is by just jumping off the roof, absorbing the fall damage, snorting some medicine, and grabbing the flag. Tackling someone while running is almost impossible in those games. More than once I accidentally killed the guy I was supposed to tackle.

John Murdoch posted:Hello fellow mutant. I wish Origins wasn't as overlooked, though admittedly it does have its own fair share of problems. I think Origins biggest problem is that it doesn't really do anything new, it's the same formula as City only with some better boss fights and a tighter story.

HaB posted:Agreed. I also think it's silly for the game to mention it at all, as if they aren't literally making money off the very same war/torture/destruction. Its a little weird to argue that people shouldn't make money of things they make. Coppola made a lot of money of Apocalypse Now! but that doesn't really invalidate the message of the movie.

Sunswipe posted:Haven't played that game in soooo long. What I remember is that I was mostly enjoying it until the end, when the sneaky stealth game says "gently caress all that stealth poo poo, here's an hour-long grind of sword-fighting." Then the final boss teleports each time you hit him, so you can't get a combo in and do some damage, plus he can one hit kill you. Yeah, I'm probably missing some way of killing him, but I just didn't give a gently caress by that point. I got lucky and hit the real Al Mualim instead of his illusions right away.

Everytime I want to hand in a side quest or something I have to find a campfire to rest at because the questgiver only exists between 3pm and 4pm or whatever. At least in GTA V they sped up the clock so you didn't have to wait for the right time to start the mission.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:the Arkham City "timer" was annoying as gently caress. I mean, open world games always have a "don't you have a world to save why are you collecting mushrooms" problem, but a huge voice in the sky booming that I have six/five/four hours left to complete the game every time I unlocked a new batch of sidequests and collectibles was really distracting But you could completely ignore that voice though.

Agent355 posted:In the original QTE nightmare god of war there were things that were kinda like glory kills. Enemies would get a button floating over their head and a stagger animation, except when you hit the button you had to hit a number MORE buttons and if you failed the enemy would be unstunned. Success gave you more health/mana just like glory kills do. So we even have an example of what 'glory kills are QTEs' would actually entail.
