Hmm.
Pokemon.
You send little kids into a wilderness as young as ten. Hope the family pet defends them again wild animals, while the child travels all over the country side visiting towns who seem to have no real economy, ability to gather food ect ect...
Even worse is if you take the show and plug it in... Kid threesomes with boy girl boy action, towns populated with genetic clones of the same Nurse and Police officer...not to mention "A world we must defend." From what team rocket? The most incompetent losers to ever be villians this side of Higly towns heroes who spent so much time trying to catch one electric rat from a ten year old boy when they could have just gone out and caught their own in 45 minutes.
Btw the way, I know they eat meat. What's the lunch special? The Pigeotto that choked and his trainer sold him to be made into fried bird?

It's a Plaga thing, although there were only a few enemies who used firearms in RE4 (Guys with miniguns). But the c-virus allows them to use guns as well provided they have some resistance to it (As happens in RE6). Otherwise they just turn into normal dumb zombies. The only Resident Evil game I haven't played is Revelations, but everything I've learned about the game implies that it's basically the earlier Resident Evils done up in modern Resident Evil fashion. IE amazing. If the enemies having guns bothers you at all, I'd recommend you check out Revelations (It's currently on Steam and will be released next month).LetalisK said:
I came here to say the plotline of MGS Peace Walker, it really goes full retard for the sake of having plot twists.BloodWriter said:

*****, get that weak Stupid Plot shit out of my office. I have the REAL DEAL on Stupid Plot right here...
*Dirge Features:
-An entire military organization that Shinra somehow kept locked under Midgar, completely unnoticed for over a decade
\-Did I mention that said organization somehow built military-grade mechs and helicopters while being supposedly imprisoned by Shinra? Apparently, with enough PLOT MAGIC, even a fully subterranean civilization in poverty can develop an airforce!
\-This is a near-retcon, for the sole purpose of pulling new villains out of nowhere.
-A retarded plotline where the avatar of the planet's energy will start killing everyone if too many people die too quickly, but only if certain kinds of people die too quickly...only it turns out it didn't matter, oh, and it will turn Vincent Valentine into the One True Goth Elemental.
-A mad scientist who, with his dying breath, UPLOADED HIMSELF TO THE INTERNET BY MEANS NEVER DESCRIBED OR EXPLAINED (in any of the FF7 compilation) who then found the head of the aforementioned military organization and convinced him to let the scientist get uploaded to his brain.
\-Bonus points for stupidity: His death was also a retcon.
-A man who fights wearing a straight-jacket and a gag that looks more like a jockstrap on his face. He also kills people by "engulfing them in his inner darkness".
-A 28 year old woman trapped in a 14 year old's body, who is the lead's "romantic interest". How Squicky of you, Squeenix.
-A resistance force comprised entirely of blonde dudes in red beanies.

Only if you were gonna proceed to claim that this gave you expert knowledge to criticize the game and compare it to shooters that were released over a decade later. Half Life is kinda an important step in the FPS evolution, since it helped introduced allot of mechanics that future titles ended up embracing.Dominic Crossman said:
In some aspect, it would be similar to criticize Citizen Kane, because it's too slow paced and boring, when compared to blockbusters of today, failing utterly to understand how important that film was in developing modern day cinematography.
On topic:
Even if it was later fixed with a DLC (which did cost extra money, unless you waited to buy the GOTY edition), the original ending of Fallout 3 has always kinda stuck up there, in my list of silly plot points.
"The purifier is gonna explode, unless either you or me make the ultimate sacrifice and walk into this chamber filled with lethal radiation."
"...but what about the friendly radiation immune super mutant, that's standing right next to me, who, by the way, has already demonstrated his ability to walk into a super toxic room, in a previous mission?"
"IT HAS TO BE YOU OR ME!!!"

Ha with you there on last hope although I found the most offensive thing being Edge described as a less potent version of Crowe. My thought was whelp lady you just blew your chances with me since you clearly consider me inferior to the gary stu that is Crowe.Trueflame said:
OT: So many annoying plot points to choose from...ah yes my old staple...White Knight Chronicles with:
Everyone: YAY! we rescued the princess lets all give ourselves a pat on the back.
Myself (Brain dead avatar in background): Shouldn't we grab her and get out of here before the bad guys come...oh never mind they grabbed her and legged it.
Repeat x2
I am kind of glad my avatar in that game was clinically brain dead because if he wasn't to begin with he would have been after the 2nd rescue attempt.
Was just about to comment about this, but you've pretty much done it for me. In terms of plot I don't really have much I dislike about Black Ops II (especially after the Modern Warfare series). I was perhaps a little but upset that after they had done a pretty good job of making a villain with a motive other than "I'm evil, so F*ck America" that they basically seemed to be shoe-horning in as many different groups to be the villains as possible.irishda said:

Well, as much as I loved that game (unless I ran into a bug that caused it to be unfinishable and that even the wiki for the game doesn't fucking know) the "plot" of Fallout: New Vegas is somewhat ... stupid, for reasons of absence. Maybe it was my playstyle of taking over 35 hours to travel to the fabled town of New Vegas, but once I got there and met up with the guy who did ... something or other to me, I didn't even care anymore.
And besides, why should I be angry at him anways? Shooting me down was the best thing that coulda happened to me, seeing as now I am a bigshot in the NCR, have my own ***** sniper and pet robot, more money than I would care to spend and am a hero of tales and legends ...
And then, when Benny leaves the Casino to get himself captured by the Legion, I run into a bug that causes my game to crash when I want to travel to Cottonwood Cove, so I don't know if there is any payoff to it all.
Now, the sad thing here is that while the game is filled to the brim with small, interesting little stories (plus the big one with NCR vs The Legion and everything ...) my own personal story was so absent that I forgot it existed until running into Benny (unintentionally, as I must point out).
Another one that always gets me off is Mirror's Edge, which, beside other things was also full of holes, one of which is actually pretty creepy.
1) If Jack (that his name? The dickweed always talking into Faith's ear) has access to every camera in the city and has apparently implanted a microphone into Faith's body that allows him to listen to everything she says and everything that is said to her, how does that make him better than 'the man', against whom he is fighting?
2) If the cops don't bother the Runners, then why are they manufacturing an anti-runner group of people?
3) If Jack (he is not called Jack, is he?) is watching Faith ALL THE FUCKING TIME, how can
God, I hate that game.
On a more general note, I hate every game where support characters show up and then decide to simply kick back, relax and let me do all the dirty work for them, because while they are supposed to be my "friends" I can't help but hate them for that, because it basically makes me, the bigshot protagonist guy just a tool that the others use to fend off whatever evil is waiting at their doorstep today;
this happens mostly in shooters and most of the RPGs I have played (only there the support characters tend to stay in the base/village/castle/camp and wait for me to return).
Gameplay only goes so far when it comes to saving a game, and I can forgive a lot of flaws if the story is well-thought and engaging (hello, Alan Wake!).

Celeste betray him?! He sees where she is, hears what she says, everything ... how can she betray him to HIS ENEMIES without him noticing?! Unless, of course, he points all his equip only at Faith, and that is where it gets really, really weird ...

That's an interesting POV. I don't think they ever had to save a city from zombies, they just wanted to get away (Claire wanted to find Chris too) and that's what they did (except of course the player faces some tough enemies in the way, so the characters must too). Claire could have hung out with a motocycle gang or something, that explain he can handle a handgun, but a modern crossbow and an anti-riot grenade launcher (for which you only find lethal ammo) is another story.Shoggoth2588 said:As ridiculous as Resi 4 is, Resident Evil 2 is about a cop on his very first day and a biker-chick who have to save a city from zombies, infected animals and, mutants from an evil pharmaceutal company who can't spellLuisGuimaraes said:
Why it's ridiculous? Leon and Clare are grossly under-qualified to do any of what they've done. Presumably Leon spent some time on the gun range but Clare is a non-entity as of this point in the continuity: it's her brother Chris who is a member of S.T.A.R.S. Zombies alone decimated the Raccoon City police department and the entire SWAT team, not to mention Umbrella Security squads. Any given member of any given organization who is already dead is likely far more qualified to have survived. What complicated matters even more is the fact that Resident Evil 3 happens while Resi 2 is going on so at any moment, Nemesis could have smashed Leon and Clare into paste just as William or the Mr. X could have murdered the Hell out of Jill or Carlos.
Anyway many games just fall in that case of characters that shouldn't have some knowledge about guns and stuff happen to simply used them. That's streamlined design for gameplay sake. The equivalent in RE4 are all the Matrix moves and stuff, but the plot and dialogue are on an entire new level of B-movie-ness (almost feels like a satire to north american plots), like it could be called Scary Game and do just fine. Well there's Vanquish too...
That's what makes it so damn funny! At the end of RE4 Leon has single handedly laid waste to Saddler's entire personnel, and still he's all "you have not won, muahahaha".bug_of_war said:
The first time you encounter Saddler he explains he needs Ashley alive for his masterplan, and what's the first thing he does? Call in two of his monks to shoot flaming arrows at her. But what makes it so great is that the game seems to be very much aware of how silly it is, giving RE4 the most enjoyable story and characters in the series.
The fucking childish banter between Leon and Salazar/Saddler was just priceless.
Oh I know, and that is why I love it too. It's so wanky at times that you've just gotta laugh.Casual Shinji said:

Long before your character shows up some stuff happened on earth with aliens. The planet got messed up. You get an omnipotent voice in your head (who is a psychopath) to help find a magic mcguffin that won't do anything about anything even if you do get it.

*ahem*
There, that ought to do the trick.
I'm gonna go with Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Aside from what you get from the trailers, you get to fight you old commanding officer as he tries to wipe out what is left of humanity. This is during the year 2007 and after World War III in which Canada is a nuclear wasteland. So humanity is on the brink of extinction and your trying to destroy it again, great thinking genius. Also, there are cyber-sharks and blood dragons that fires lasers out of its eyes...LASERS OUT OF ITS EYES!!!!!!!! The entire game is stupid, very bad 80s one-liners, terrible character that you just hate them as much as the dialog and the voice acting, trying to understand everything is damn near impossible but goddamnit its a great game. Pick it up.
