Go to the town, buy weapons and spells, then go northwest to the dungeon and fight the boss?

Yeah...I always found the giant castle five steps away, and the towns surrounding it, to be a rather big clue. *shrug*
Now Morrowind, THAT game throws you to the wolves. But in the best possible way.

I hate the fact that in Castlevania II there's that one part where you can jump ahead to an area you aren't supposed to get to yet, and when you get over there, you get your ass handed to you...

Actually, that's only how the first game starts. FF2 starts with your party in a battle you have no hope of winning before most of them find themselves in a building. FF3 starts with your party falling down a hole in a cave before they're chosen as the Light Warriors.

Games with easily exploited glitches that make the game retardedly easy.
RE1 on the Wii is a good example of this. With Jill, there's a glitch that lets you dupe grenade shells. Once you know about it, you can't NOT use because the game ammo starves you, but it makes the mindlessly easy. |
I have a question on that one, Syd. I see where you're coming from, if only because easy exploits like that are a sign of lazy programing (or bad testing.) But I never did understand why people complain that they *exist* (beyond the reasons I mentioned above.) I mean, if you don't like the cheat/exploit/whatever...don't use it. Granted it shouldn't exist in the first place, but its not like the game *forces* you to make use of it. The way I see it, its kind of like walkthroughs. I know that gamefaq.com exists, and that I can find an easy solution to the puzzle I'm stuck on...but I don't have to use them. |
The problem is that people are weak, and when faced with a frustratingly hard game, they will often cheat if they know they can, especially if it is super easy to do. I have tried so many times to play through RE on the GCN on the hardest difficulty with Jill, and every time I end up cheating no matter how hard I try not to. I find myself down to my last bit of ammo and there's no more ammo to be had in the area, so I find myself duping grenade shells so I can stay alive.

It's not cheating if the game let's you do it.

Fighting game bosses with SNK boss syndrome. I like my bosses to be challenging, and maybe even beat me a few times. I don't like bosses with multiple lifebars, multiple forms, and screen filling/undodgeable/unblockable/homing attacks.

I actually don't have an issue with him in Smash Bros. He's one of the most popular characters Nintendo has. Now, shit like Lucario I don't get.

Actually Ba'al was right. They replaced Mewtwo with Lucario, not Ditto.
And that did indeed suck.

Keeping on the subject of replacements, not being able to play with Donkey Kong in 2 of the 3 DKC games. I mean it's his own trilogy and he's barely in it. If I want to play with a monkey, I want that monkey to be a big fucking monkey and not a girl or baby or even a little shitty monkey with a baseball cap. Yeah I'm sure they are fun games but I will never know because I refuse to play with shitty monkeys.

I hate having to buy Final Fantasy XI and give them my credit card just to get the 2 week free trial. Bullshit.

One thing that pisses me off is trying to find something to do in Mario Kart Wii. That's right, you heard me. There are only 10 fucking characters and 16 tracks in the beginning of the game. More then half of the tracks suck. There's nothing to do but drive, drive, drive, and then wonder why you're fucking playing. Not to mention the incredibly cheap POW Blocks and falling off the goddamn stage (which is the main reason for more then half of the beginning tracks sucking)

They could've at least placed Mewtwo in Super Smash Bros. Brawl alongside Lucario. They also removed Dr. Mario, Roy, Young Link and Pichu.
I liked most of those characters.

Oh, crap! How could I have forgotten about Nintendo's Friend Codes? Those things suck!

Games where you don't play on your '0th' life. If I'm playing a game expecting that one extra'0' life, I'm expecting that rebound dammit!
Not so much a video game problem as it is a video game experience problem; playing video games with friends who suck at gaming. I'm not the type of person who 'lays off' on newbies, either. I tend to keep my gaming skills on the level of EXTREME.

I don't have a signature. Sorry. Try again later.. probably not though. |

People who bitch about Killer7 because "the controls suck." The control work fine assholes, it just isn't a rail shooter where you can wave a gun at the screen and rapidly pull the trigger. This game requires actual thought.
As a note, I like rail shooters.

People have bitched at Killer7, for good reason.
Its a bizarre surreal muddle, the rail nature of the beast turns a lot of people off, the puzzles are Resident Evil quality, and the enemy difficulty is not that high.
I loved it though (^-^)
