That's why we had the cold war. Then a few decades later southpark started the most popular joke ever. In soviet russia, s*mmich is allowed on the forums!

Atlantica in Kingdom Hearts. Honestly, why is it that all water-related levels in any video games MUST suck? I mean, we had the Water Temples, the, um, the thing in that other one...

I understand now what it means to farm an enemy. And how much of a pain it is.

I want my fluffy bunny ears. Sad

I don't know what that means... But if I ran a farm and made an enemy i'd want bunny ears too!

Enemy has a less than 1% chance of dropping an item. Enemy is the only one who drops that item. You want item. You fight hundreds of Enemy. Enemy never drops item because RNG hates you.

That's pretty much it. Even more annoying if Enemy is a boss because then each fight takes forever (if you can even rematch it). Though at least you don't have to search for it.

Ah i get it now. The painful fire emblem GBA memories are coming back. Random number generator was against me from the start.

Finally got the damn thing. It's a pretty useless item but I need it to complete the equipment list. And yes, that's important.

I hate when you're playing a shooter, and you expect a boss fight coming up, so you get your best weapon ready to take him on, but find out that you first have a cutscene where the player character whips out a pistol for dramatic effect or something, then you have to face the boss and all of his henchman immediately with your pistol equipped when the cutscene ends.

In today's GFaqs poll Soulcalibur is beating Tekken and yet Tekken is getting a front seat in a game against Street Fighter or Capcom.

Well I'm playing through FF6 Advance, and have rediscovered the hatred I have for stupid NPCs in towns, especially when they jsut walk around slowly, literally blocking you from where you have to go.

Final Fantasy Legend III gave you the nifty ability to jump, which let you just go over NPCs that were blocking your way.

I always hated the few RPGs that when you slept in an inn, you didn't fully heal. What the fuck!? What's the point then!? Especially if it costs you money...

I hate when lawyer wrangling delays a game I'm looking forward too.

I'm probably picking the worst place to say this, but I hate when someone weighs nostalgia as the biggest factor for a video game's overall quality.

I completely agree. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's good. So many folks have nostalgic memories of old games, and THAT'S why they love them: played them as a kid, loved them as a kid. But age and greatness are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Just look at Joan Rivers.

Playing Pokemon with fucked up types is fun. But less so when you have a Ghost type and the opponent uses Tackle.

I never got how that works.

Surely a ghost would be immune to physical damage?

2011 SNES Champ Joined: Dec 04 2006 Posts: 1929

In Pokemon, Ghost is immune to Normal and Fighting. In the fucked up version I'm playing, it's immune to Dark and Fantasy. Normal doesn't exist.
I don't know what the hell Fantasy is but Pound is that type and there's fucking nothing weak to it.

I'm losing faith in this world. Some guy made a flash cartoon with mario and shadow (that sonic character that no one gives a shit about) fighting, and for the next part he asked people to vote for which character is better, and Mario lost. Those people should burn in hell.

When my profile on Fallout 3 starts to slowly glitch AT THE BEGINNING, and it shows throughout the rest of the game. Like, Liberty Prime doesn't fucking attack anything and doesn't move. I HATE THE WOOOOORLD

Ugh, I hate the overworld in The Legend of Zelda.

Faulty cartridges for starters. Online gameplay just plain sucks nowadays, and everyone is eating up the newest shit that has a decent name attached to it (i.e.: MW2). I also get mad when something seems perfectly possible in the framework of the game, but an invisible wall keeps you from being intelligent. I'm looking at you, 3D Zelda games. ESPECIALLY you, Twilight Princess.
