I don't know if this really counts but it annoys me that Titanfall doesn't have a campaign mode. I rented the game from gamefly without much knowledge outside of "big robots blowing poo poo up" a la Mechwarrior. My Xbox is banned from Live for some reason (I bought it used and a few months later it was banned without an explanation. I'm assuming it was modded and the guy didn't tell me) so I'm completely unable to play the game. It's ultimately my fault for not reading more into the game but it's honestly the first game I've ever heard of that's strictly online only with no offline campaign mode. I just wanted to blow stuff up with robots

Who What Now posted:I wonder how much of people's criticisms about regenerating health is rooted in the awful design decision to mute all sound and fill the screen with pulsing redness when hurt? Not to say the criticisms aren't otherwise warranted. That would be a big part of mine. I'm playing through Saints Row 4 and they do something similar. Since it takes place in a simulation when you're low on life it makes it look like the simulation is glitching out and turns a shade of green. It's annoying as gently caress.

Inco posted:Far Cry 4 has a lot of mechanics, and sometimes these mechanics can interact in ways that totally gently caress up whatever the player was doing for the past half hour. Every outpost has a high hill next to it. Get a silence sniper rifle, take out the alarms then take out the soldiers. Even if you don't like being sneaky like that it's the easiest way to take them undetected.

COD: Advanced Warfare. Troop leader: Mitchell, do the thing! *objective pops up on your display* Do the thing, Mitchell! Mitchell, are you paying attention? Do the thing! Mitchell what are you waiting for? We need you to do the thing, Mitchell! Hey Mitchell, where are you at on doing the thing? Get going Mitchell! Every five loving seconds SHUT UUUUUUPPPP I get it when we're standing in a hallway and the objective is like "open the door" but when you're trying to fight your way across a battlefield it's so god drat annoying.

CJacobs posted:Trailing missions suck especially hard because in all video games ever made your character walks faster than the NPCs walk and runs slower than the NPCs run, so you end up lazing around running in circles waiting for them to move or staggering your walk in a dumb looking way so you don't catch up to them by accident. RDR did the best with this. When normally walking/riding a horse, you're slower and faster than them, but you can press a button that will force you to keep pace with them. I loved that.

I've started Borderlands over playing with the Mechromancer. She's a ton of fun to play with except for when she gets shocked/set on fire/burned by acid. God drat the noise she makes is loving awful. She lets out a scream that's like nails on a chalkboard and it seems to go on forever. It's making me wish I'd bought Psycho instead.

I've been trying to solo Tiny Tina's DLC and am running into the same problem. I'm a few levels higher than most of the guys I'm facing but they still manage to knock out my shields and get me into Fight mode super easy. Also whoevers idea it was to put monsters that you can't kill without activating that sword in them should be shot. I've had to respawn in this DLC more than any other part of BL2 because of them. They send out a room full of them to kill you, you enter fight mode and can knock them down but not actually kill them because you can't pull the sword out of their back. It's infuriating. To make matters worse I'm doing it with Gaige so every time I die I lose all my stacks of Anarchy. I don't think I've gotten any higher than 150 stacks because I lose them to dying.

You guys complaining about BL2 and their lack of good weapons - did you never use the golden keys/chest? There are easy to find lists online with still active codes that can net you over 100 keys really easily. I never had a problem with guns/shields/grenades/add-ons because I would just get new ones using this every 10 levels or so.

Kruller posted:It's Longinus' lips that do it for me. They're gross, and he's always so loving close to the camera. Honestly, most of the side characters need to shut the gently caress up and let me get back to shooting things in the dick. Except Pagan. He's awesome. I really wish there was a third option where you become bros with Pagan and he's like "hey will you go gently caress up these rear end in a top hat that are tearing my country up?" In a continuation of the hidden ending. That'd be pretty rad.

Screaming Idiot posted:Wind Waker was okay, but I never got into Zelda games and the whole thing was just too tedious. Sailing was dull, the "stealth" missions were grating, and it felt like there was too much filler between the good parts. Vietwiful Joe took the cel-shading to a higher level -- the game looked and felt like a comic book movie. It still looks pretty good, even almost a decade later. Does Afro Samurai count as Cel Shading? That game was beautiful.

Samuringa posted:Extremely minor nitpick but I'm trying FFXV again and there's a lot of moaning and grunting when you're hanging out. I think they were trying to fill the dead air from when you're running on foot after something but it just makes it worse when everyone is going "hmmm" "ah!" "mhmm" all the time. I played through Borderlands 3 as Fl4k and just started a new game as Amara. She does this, panting heavily when running and when you stop running there's a few seconds of her making noise to catch her breath. It's pretty distracting. "Fl4k didn't make these noises!" I say Fl4k is a robot

Chuck Buried Treasure posted:My main issue with achievements is a really lame one: I get annoyed when I do something cool in a game and there isn’t an achievement for it. I should have gotten a Watch Dogs 2 achievement for attacking a dog-fighting ring run by an enemy gang and then killing the gang’s leader by knocking him into the pit to be eaten by the dogs, drat it In Assassins Creed: Odyssey, there’s a quest that has this lady wind up being a huge pain in the rear end to the point you just hate her. As the quest ends they have her standing on the edge of a cliff in perfect position to boot her off the cliff. Was disappointed there was no achievement for that one.

NoneMoreNegative posted:Speaking of the Odyssey DLC, I just hit halfway through the first and thought 'I imagine anyone non-hetero who has been enjoying their big gay / bi himbo / himbette game was pretty pissed at this point', looked it up and hoo boy was I on the money; apparently this is the fixed version as well, the original release was even more tone deaf. actually question about that If you're playing as the male character I assume there's a female version of the dude whose name I cant remember? That's also pretty telling with how bad that storyline is. Gun to my head I could not remember that guys name but I can remember Shani from Witcher 3 and they probably have even game time.

Assistant Manager Devil posted:That's good to know, I've been complaining about some of them. There's a lot of good ones, but a fair number that are either just tedious or take a neat concept a step or two too far into annoyingness. Seems like a gamble to pay for more of them. I’m not even sure what the end game is. The point is you do trials to gain each of the god’s favor and get a fourth blessing from each of them, with the final goal to be invited to the pantheon of the gods. Except they already Max out all your stats and give you OP armor/weapons. So like...what’s the point? I’ve only done Athena’s so far and there were like 8 trials to get hers. All puzzle. So I go to Ares’ thinking it would at least change it to battles and nope, more puzzles. He even comments on it being puzzles and not battles. I may just stop here because they’re not fun. Hopefully the next DLCs are more entertaining.

The journal/quest guide in Mass Effect 3 is dumb garbage. It was perfect in 1 and 2, why would you gently caress it up like that?

RPATDO_LAMD posted:And if you want to buy 2 or 3 health/stamina upgrades at once because you went way too long between returning to the base and have heart pieces out the ears suddenly, you have to go through 2 or 3 upgrade cutscenes in a row. I can’t remember which button it is but you can definitely jump through these. On PS4 I think it’s O button, I usually just mashed it a few times and it skipped through Also I don’t remember it showing a cutscene for ever upgrade, just the most recent one, like if you’re upgrading weapons and stuff, whatever you did last would show in the cutscene and that was it. e: I think it’s that you have to hit the button several times because the cutscene is actually made up of a couple different vids, each a couple seconds long so if you only hit it once, it’ll skip to the next part of the total scene and keep playing.

I played through the ME trilogy and am now doing ME:A. It has its share of problems but one thing that drives me up a wall is dialogue when you’re speaking with someone. The game will make your party/whoever you’re talking to sound further away if they’re far away from you. It’s a neat addition when you don’t think about it too much. The problem becomes when you run up to someone and start talking to them your party members freeze in place (even though you can’t see them most of the time). If you’ve run up to someone and your party is far behind you? Tough poo poo good luck hearing them. They sound far away so it’s hard as hell to hear them if you even can at all. I started playing with subtitles specifically for this reason. I don’t know why they didn’t have it to where they just snap to your location or keep moving until they’re next to you even if the conversation has started but it’s annoying as hell. Or hell, just make all spoken dialogue the same volume as you/the person you’re talking to regardless of distance.

The only time I've found myself interested in the present time stuff was the first couple games because it was actually interesting before it went completely off the rails.

Frank Frank posted:The ending of horizon zero Dawn was kinda lame. Lame final boss - same enemy you’ve already fought half a dozen times. Ending was predictable and parts of it didn’t make sense: Was it her actual body or just the leftover armor she was wearing, which was I think the same OP armor you can get near end game? I haven’t played it in a long while (which I should go through again before 2 comes out)

For what it's worth, that is explained later in the game - keep going, I really enjoyed it!
