I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned. How about actual cheating? Aim bots, wall hacks, map hacks, drop hacks, network hacks that make targeting the other player difficult / near impossible. If it falls within play within the game as designed I can't really knock it, but every internet...

Dynamic AI behavior & large numbers of active AI in an immediate game environment: These elements, to my thinking, seem to be elements of game design that have been neglected in favor of a constant obsession with more realistic graphics. And, unfortunately, the apparent stress of a release...

The basis of MOBA games is a mismatch that will exist in spite of the skill and effort of any one player. This characteristic, to my thinking, is the reason for their popularity and existence. The human being's high level of response to random reward schedules as opposed to fixed rewards is...

For those with some experience with my problems that didn't assume I was cramming my mouse crevices with cheeto dust between rage-pounding and honestly suggested some lesser known brand models on the merits of quality: thanks, I'll have to look into that. TL;DR starts now: I was going to...

Bethesda can't make a dynamic, balanced(relatively), and compelling combat system to save it's life. Combat in Morrowind sucked. Combat in Oblivion sucked. Combat in Skyrim sucked. Combat in Fallout 3 had a small window of being non shitty and did so by ignoring all precedents and simply...
