The biggest thing dragging down Saints Row IV: Pretty Dress-Up Simulator for me is that there are no go-go boots to go with the dress.

The Croc bit was such a letdown, they're building up the encounter for so long and it's a total damp squib. You just plod around for a while occasionally getting an indicator to fling a batarang at him and he disappears. It's like slapping a dog down with a newspaper.

A general complaint is that so few games have built in support for trophy stats. For stuff like MGS3 it'd be great to have a stats screen to see how many people I've killed, how many animals I've gotten, how many kerotans I found etc. Rather than waiting till the end of your playthrough hoping you got them all or killed no one. I just finished a playthrough where I killed everyone non-lethally but the game said I killed three people. Apparently if you KO them near a vulture they'll get eaten after awhile and that counts as your kill. If I had a stats screen I could have regularly checked to make sure I was on track.

Here's a more important question: did you kill and eat the vulture?

This is one of my biggest problems with battlefield after bad company 2. They wanted to make BF3 more like call of duty so everyone just dies instantly, turning the game into a grinder of shooting people in the back until someone shoots you in the back. If you have a head-on "fight" it amounts to someone popping up in front of you for a tenth of a second and then one of you falls down dead. Repeat for the duration of the round. This has carried through to battlefield hardline so I'm probably done with that series. So disappointing after battlefield 2142 and bad company 2 were incredible.

The games before that did have the same issue though--in 1942 it would be snipers one shotting you from a mile away and in BF2 it would be omnipotent aircraft (the single worst thing about that game).

But it's ~realistic~.

I like to collect followers in Skyrim, using one of those "andvanced AI/follower" mods. But I hate actually taking them with me into combat.

So I usually wind up building a hearthfire house, then filling it with followers, who I then make into my own personal little party house of NPCs. Then I go build another hearthfire house, and aquire a new set of followers to bind to the house. Rinse and repeat for all homes and steadings in the game. Then everytime I return home from adventuring, no matter which home it is, it's a party!

A party where no one says anything, interacts with any one else or reacts to your presence.

Star Trek Online has some pretty great space barbies.

Part of that is you only have one 'armor' slot, and instead of just equipping it you unlock all the armor bits in the tailor, so you can mix and match.

Put some cream on your hurt butt, Cummy Lemonstain.

A thing dragging down Human Revolution for me is that you get the greatest amount of XP for playing stealthily and non-lethally. This skews the game in this direction, instead of making both ways of playing equally valid.

That's why I like that you can buy in-game collectible maps in Assassin's Creed. Sure, the flags, feathers and fragments might not give you anything, but it sure is convenient to be able to mark them.

You can get it pretty easy by doing NCR quests which are heaped upon you by the dozen in the early game.

The real challenge is trying to get a ranger sequoia without killing the ranger it belongs to.

Well, that's the easy part. You just reverse-pickpocket a better gun into his inventory, and take the Sequoia.

TDTGD: There's no Broken Steel equivalent for New Vegas that lets you play in the Mojave after the Battle at the Dam.

As I recall, there was supposed to be one, and there's cut dialogue in the game's files to support it, but it got scrapped. It might have been that they couldn't reconcile the different factions and choices, and instead wrote their plans for the post-game stuff into the patented Fallout Ending Slideshow.

The Fallout 3 postgame was easier, since the story didn't branch in any way, but realizing (for example) how Caesar's plans for Vegas as his New Rome clashes with the Followers' of the Apocalypse will to provide cheap health care would have been much more difficult.

If you're halfway decent with Unarmed, fighting the Ghost People in VATS with the Bear Trap Fist turns the game into survival comedy. Instead of running away from unbeatable foes you're running up to them and punching their heads off in a single swing.

Playing through Horizon Zero Dawn again - I never did much with the override function on robot critters outside of where it's required, but I'm having fun with it this time around. But the game doesn't like it when you make a robot animal friend out of creatures you're supposed to kill during quests.
Sorry buddy, you were a good pet who happily laser-blasted every other creature in the area for me, but the game says I have to kill you before I can successfully look at this spot on the ground to move forward in the mission :rip: :smith:

I understand that it can't be a Fallout, Deus Ex type thing where you can let the question hang forever, but even the TellTale games allow you to pause whenever.
