Bigest gaming sins

[York_Beckett]

Also: Jack Walters. Fcking moron.

How?

There's quite a lot that can go wrong about the character in whose shoes you are supposed to (like to) step in - like, having a character whom you constantly want to slap in the face for being an outright idiot... Call of Cthulhu's Mr. Walters is a shining example.

Spoiler

So, after you've done some priliminary investigations in that town full of freaky fishkindamutant people while you are completely oblivious to their fishkindamutant-ness, you, without a care in the world, take a room in the town's hotel. A short while later you witness the mutantguy from the reception having a dialogue with another mutantguy how they are going to kill you that night. Like, in your room, while you are sleeping. The next thing you do is to go to bed...

Wasn't that after he had gone to bed, in his dream? Then again, there was a short reference to it with this one guy that was there before you got a room...

I've never owned a Sony console, and therefore haven't played any of game in a series exclusive to them (except Metal Gear Solid 4 on a roommate's console).

I'm gonna buy a PS3 soon, though.

But think of that, games I haven't played:
-Any Final Fantasy until #13 (I know it started on Nintendo, though)
-God of War
-Uncharted
-Demons' Souls (the biggest reason I'm getting a PS3)
-Twisted Metal
-Ratchet and clank
-MLB: The Show (I'm a huge baseball fan. The 2K MLB games are dreadful, though)
-Metal Gear Solid (except #4)
-Little Big Planet
-Infamous
-Shadow of the colossus
-Ico

Whatever else I'm forgetting. All those except for God of War and Twisted Metal interest me.

Invisible walls.
Unecesarily bad grpahics.
Not being able to jump.
General lack of immersion.
Bad voice acting.

What's wrong with DRM?

short isn't necessarily bad, portal for instance, what i don't like is when they pad it out with needless busy work

if it doesn't have to be in the game, then it is the 10 year olds (that I encounter) on xbox live that are cursing people out and talking like idiots in games rated M for manly uh I mean mature.

Battle.net 2. Never has so much potential been destroyed in such an unpredictable way.

For gamers, surely one of the biggest sins must be cheating during online play, at the expense of other players.

For developers, frame rate issues (in console games especially) and poorly designed controls.

Crysis:

You've destroyed the alien 'Sentinel' style alien with your (Penis-envy) Mini-fucking-nuke, hurrah you Overpowered Player Character, your mates congratuate you for your massive throbbing erec...I mean military skill, but warn you that this is only the beginning.

You get aboard the flying 'Thing' and say:

"OH BOY! IF THIS WAS JUST A STARTER, WHAT WILL BE THE MAIN COURSE ON MY JOURNEY OF 'BLOWING PROGRESSIVELY BIGGER THINGS UP!?!?!'" as everyone makes out there is another goddamn battle.

The end, the game replies, then laughs as it goes to the bank.


Now, I liked Crysis, it was a good game, but for the love of Satan, Santa and the goddamn entire cast of midgets from the original Willy Wonka, STOP IT.

When I'm enjoying a meal at 'Shooting and war' diner, I don't want the waiter to make out the next course is 'THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE EVEERRRRRR!!!" and then disappear. Off the planet. With my goddamn money.

Here is the correct way: *End boss fight* *End video sequence* *Secondary main character says something like: "But I get the feeling this is only the beginning"* *Fade-To-Black*

Its a HINT of a sequal, not a goddamn helicopter trip that never ends!

Dicks, I say.

Metro 2033 is actually having me fear for my life in the game. You can kill the Super-Angry-Evolved/Radiated-Creatures-of-Doom but you have such limited ammo and cash (well I have limited cash and refuse to walkthrough it) that you are trying to see if you can some how sidestep the creatures. It isn't exactly what you may want, but it is good enough for now. Thought I should share with someone that is also upset about survival horror.

I had actually passed that one, i figured it was just more brown and grey space marine shooter crap. I'll have to try it.

Horrible controls and physics.


A major example of this is Sonic 06, but that's a major example of any fault.

The Seven Deadly Sins of Gaming:
1. Cliffhanger ending with no promise of a sequel.
2. Rushing a game out for a holiday release (I'm looking at you Obsidian).
3. Repeatedly delaying a game (Duke Nukem Forever)
4. Promising there will be another game but taking years to release any details (Half-Life 2 Ep. 3).
5. Making a long series of games with very few innovations (use your imagination).
6. Use of the right analogue stick for anything other than the camera (Too Human).
7. Developers no taking the hint on when they should end a series.
