The inventory system in Earthound. Some SNES classics can get a little outdated at times (Super Metroid, the FF games etc.) but this is really bad. It's really telling that so many people are willing to put up with it time and time again for the writing, which is incredible.

Sire Oblivion posted:I never played it, but what's wrong with the inventory system? Is it that drastically different from other games that it's a hindrance? It's really small, and equipment takes up regular inventory spots so it's smaller than it looks. Also, there's no "key item" section so stuff like the sound stone, ATM card, among a ton of other key items all take up a spot. It means that you barely ever have the inventory space to bring healing items along and you can never play around with the condiments feature which they push early on. Also you're constantly depositing and withdrawing your items with Escargot Express and it's pretty frustrating to get through the monkey cave just to need to go all the way out to pick up the pencil eraser that you deposited. It's really bad and you're struggling with it pretty much the whole game.

Ryoshi posted:Have you ever played another Metroid game, ever? They are all kinda floaty. Zero Mission and Fusion both had tighter controls than Super Metroid, in my opinion. I have never played Metroid 2, and I played the first one for like 5 minutes before turning it off in disgust. It hasn't aged well.

I think Resident Evil 5 is a fun little game, that's doomed to be the sequel to one of the best ever. It's not the only game cursed with this fate.

Cleretic posted:The only good fishing minigame was in Ocarina of Time. And it was mostly great because there wasn't much in the way of rewards (meaning you could skip it pretty safely), and also there was in-built cheating. The fishing in Twilight Princess is at least 5, possibly 6 times better.

I think it's extremely important to have content you can miss in most games. Discovering something means a whole lot more when you really discovered it and there's not a checklist or quest log leading you and a thousand other players there.

Sire Oblivion posted:Do you mean miss as in things you can go back and enjoy without restarting the game again, right? More as in dynamic stuff not every player is supposed to find or expected to. Something like some of the hidden areas in Dark Souls, for example. I don't think there should be stuff arbitrarily gated from any player, if possible. Exceptions can be made for some things though.

DStecks posted:I'd argue that Jason Brody from Far Cry 3 is one of the best FPS player characters ever; in that the whole point of the game is that his propensity for bloody murder is extremely hosed up. All the other things you list are extremely subjective. You really think Far Cry 3 is the paragon of video game writing?

1stGear posted:Its literally part of the plot in Saints Row 4 that the Boss is a violent sociopath and the game makes fun of the previous games for being GTA clones and not being able to decide if they were serious crime-dramas or wacky slapstick comedy. SR4 is probably the only open-world game that truly understands how story works in open world games. I couldn't get into Saints Row 4 for the very same reasons people cite it as one of the best games of the year.

This. I don't know who the gently caress decided enemies doing lots of damage was reserved exclusively for hard modes but it's hosed. If you want your enemies to be threatening, getting hit by them has to actually mean something.

...of SCIENCE! posted:The story is great because it's taking the piss out of Metal Gear Solid by being so openly stupid. Usually the MGS games are a mishmash of goofy and self-serious, full of soliloquies about war and technology and all the enemies and heroes alike having tragic backstories that they constantly agonize over but also poop and boner jokes, here Raiden's entire arc is learning to dehumanize himself and face to bloodshed and the enemies are hilariously, cartoonishly evil to the point where they're butchering orphans in the name of returning to THE GOOD OL' DAYS AFTER 9/11 and they turned the much-criticized nanomachines plot from MGS4 into a punchline to explain why Dick Cheney is the final boss. Yeah you have to have something wrong with you not to enjoy the plot of MGR

Flying Cheep-Cheeps in pretty much every Mario platformer. I never played much of the 2D games as a kid, so maybe I'm just bad but no matter what game they are, the original, or NSMBU. They fly out of nowhere and kill me. It's not so bad when you can breeze through the level fast, but if you're trying to grab a star coin or a powerup then they come out and kill me before I even notice.

AngryRobotsInc posted:The Last Story has apparently a ton of poo poo (dyes, equipment, materials, etc.) locked behind multiplayer. I'm pretty sure I bitched about this before in this thread, but drat it, when I buy a JRPG I am looking for a single player experience. The Wii online play being no longer active is also slightly problematic in unlocking all that poo poo. Yeah, it would be nice if games didn't lock single player stuff behind multiplayer as a rule, because I'd like to be able to come back to stuff when this stuff stops getting serviced in 5 years.

I finally got around to playing The Walking Dead: Season 2 and my piece of poo poo laptop can only run the game for like 15 minutes without overheating. The game does not work very well as a series of short vignettes.

melon cat posted:I've always felt the same way about minigames. I don't mind having them in a game as a 100% optional distraction, but when the developer forces you to play them as part of the regular game playthrough (I'm looking at you, Red Dead Redemption and GTA 5) it does get irritating. I'm so loving done with poker.

MeatwadIsGod posted:I watched Chip Cheezum's LP, and maybe I'm just a cynical goony goon but after a while the sheer unrelenting over-the-topness got tiresome. Maybe it's a "you don't know if you haven't played it" situation. I really enjoyed the game, its just that lots of dumb people have latched onto it and repeated good lines and fun moments over and over again. The Portal effect, as its known. E: I went into the game nearly blind and had a blast but its harder and harder for me to go back.
