When, in a large open ended FPS, enemies can see you at 100 yards at night through cover (*koff Far Cry 2) When they shoehorn some kind of half-baked romantic subplot into storylines (There's a million examples of this, but the most egregious example I've seen recently was Force Unleashed 1)...

How come so many people love Kratos when he is easily the most self-centered being in the history of fiction? He literally destroyed the world in pursuit of some vague idea of 'revenge!' And people say he's awesome!

If it weren't for the box art, noone would know for sure that Gordon Freeman was a man. Esp. if he had an androgynous name like "Jessie"

What I learned from the original half life is that after spending possibly decades and untold thousands of dollars getting the training to be one of the premiere theoretical physicists in the world, you will know how to do two things: 1: Bash aliens with a crowbar 2: Push shopping carts...

LMG = Light Machine Gun

How come, in Half Life 1 or Deus Ex, all the four-foot-square crates contain nothing but a single tiny box of bullets or a tool you could carry in your pocket? In Splinter Cell, how come none of the enemies see the big green lights on Sams face and back? In MGS4, how do nanomachines do ANY...

If there was a reveal to that today, it'd be by a game done by Team Ninja, and after the reveal, you'd unlock a bikini outfit for your next playthrough. Because the gaming industry really respects women. Also, that would be a good thing to fit into Ninja Gaiden 3...

I think people are forgetting how guns work When you pull the trigger, the bullet travels in a straight line down and out the barrel. Now, unless BC2 has you account for gravity or wind, it will go in a straight line out the barrel until it hits something. => If you're looking down the barrel...

Metal Gear Solid 3. Only reason I still have a PS2

How come, in a sandbox game (I'm thinking specifically of GTA, but most other ones will work) when you have even a minor infraction of the law, lets say, I accidentally rear-ended a police car at slow speed, the cops first response is to dive out the car and start shooting?

I just picked up Deus Ex for $10 to replace my scratched up disk. If you haven't played it, it's one of the greatest games on the PC

So all those novelists out there are wasting their time? I'm a ***** if Apocalypse Now had me sitting around for days questioning the characters motives? There's no point discussing symbolism and getting real emotion because Kurtz and WIllard were just characters in a work of fiction? The...

I remember when that happened. I turn around to climb down the ladder, and Alma is there. I instinctively press jump, which makes me let go of the ladder, and suddenly Fettel is there. I lit him up with the SMG and he vanished. I think I sat on that catwalk for a good 30 seconds after that just...

Back when Splinter Cell was a stealth based game, I went through Chaos Theory using what I called 'ghost rules' No unnecessary killing/knocking unconcious (I.E, killing or knocking out someone is an essential plot point) No alerts No damage to the scenery (This includes no shooting...
