So I was just playing Fable 3. Possible spoilers ahead. So I was on a mission to stop some criminals from doing something bad at a local tavern. On the way there, some woman starts booing me, and I decide to see if I can change her mind. What the hell, I thought I'd try being good for a change.

So I do a few "good" interactions, and she asks me to find her something from the market to prove my friendship. I figure, what the hell, it's just one quick stop. So I find the thing and try to get back to her. Problem is, she's in another district, and it tells me that if I leave, it will abandon the original tavern mission. After attempting to abandon my stupid fetch quest(unsuccessfully), I go with the only other option the game is giving me: Start over at the last time the game saved, losing some data. I THOUGHT it would just send me back to when I first accepted the tavern mission, allowing me to avoid my stupid fetch quest bullshit. Instead, it took me back about an hour and a quest back, a fairly difficult quest which I now have to re-do, simply because I tried to do two quests simultaneously. I mean, what the fuck, Molenaux? Is that REALLY the most effecient method you guys could come up with? Did they even PLAY Oblvion? Has anyone over there even been paying attention to the games industry for the past FUCKING DECADE????!!!!! WHY THE HELL CAN'T I LEAVE THE DAMN DISTRICT IN THE FIRST PLACE? OR JUST DROP THE MOTHERFUCKING FETCH QUEST??! WILL DOING TWO QUESTS AND ONCE REALLY BREAK THE GAME TO THE POINT THAT WE NEED A FUCKING DOOMSDAY RESET BUTTON TO FIX THE FUCKING PROBLEM???!!!!!! AND WHY, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CAN'T YOU AT LEAST TELL ME HOW MUCH GAMEPLAY I'M LOSING BEFORE I DO IT, INSTEAD OF MAKING ME MAKE OF POINTLESS LEAP OF FAITH???!!!!![HEADING=1]FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!![/HEADING]

*sigh*


So, for discussion value, you may rant about whatever pisses you off. Go ahead, you know there's SOMETHING.

Repeat comments on youtube...

'The dislike bar is as long as Justin Beiber's dick!'

'Number of dislikes don't something funny from video'

'Number of dislikes have no soul'

'Something from the video THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!'

This whole comment rating business is turning YouTube into a bunch of apes.

I hate games like that, where the designers obviously haven't thought out what would happen if you tried something which seems like it obviously should work, and then it breaks the game.


Hm, a rant, okay.

Well, not really game related, but I hate it when people on Facebook ***** about their day/a person/anything by saying something like "You can just fuck off!" Then someone says "What's wrong?" and the person says "Dw, don't wanna talk about it."
WELL IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TELL US WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG, THEN WHY PUT IT ON FACEBOOK?

Jeez.

Jeez dude calm down.

If I have to rant on something. Here's some things I generally rant about

Why can't I be a superhero dammit!?

Where's my damn burrito, dammit!?

Why is it so damn hard to find a good replica of the whip from Castlevania? ...[small]Dammit[/small]



P.S The only way I know to make words small is [Small]

Anyone know a way to make words even smaller?

MY LIFE SUCKS FMLFMLFMLFMLFMLFML
OMG You're so pwetty! No I'm not, I'm ugly
These 2 things in Facebook piss me off. Girls, YOU'RE FUCKING PRETTY, ACCEPT THAT FACT AND STOP ONE DOWNING YOURSELF! But I always think, better than saying 'I'm the prettiest.'

Why did I try and sleep early is something I think to myself as I wake up at 9pm feeling ready to do anything....

/rant.

To spice up some discussion, what pisses you off and what do you do to calm yourself down?
I just breathe in and out and BOOM! I'm a peaceful guy =D

Fishing mini-game in Nier.
Dear god, I don't remember that level of game-related rage since my dad made me turn off my gameboy during the elite 4.

Here's the rundown, you have to look at the end of the pole to see if a fish bites. It's not even on a random chance if one bites like say...pokemon. One always bites, you just have to pay attention to when the pole dips down. But the end is all pixely and you have to turn the camera to the side of the pole which makes the second part of the fishing a pain in the dickhole.
Once you memorize the 2 patters of the pole bobbing you press A at the right time and then you battle the fish (not like an engagement, then it'd be too easy) the book following you then says "pull the opposite way the fish is going" He might as well be saying "Durrhurr imma liek football nigga how ya durr" Since you can't SEE the fish you have to move the right analog stick the way the guy is pulling, which is a damn lie. If you don't pull back all the time the fish goes away, if you aren't at THE EXACT RIGHT ANGLE the fish goes away. This wouldn't be so bad if the health bar for fish (Yeahman they have a bar) goes down lower than a nuns panties. It takes probably a minute and a half to get the fish, and even then it might not be the one you fuckin need.
After A WHOLE HOUR OF TRYING TO GET ONE FUCKING FISH FOR MY WHORE OF A DAUGHTER I considered dropping the whole game. No joke, it was that bad.
Thankfully the rest of the game isn't crappy.

Such idiotic programming limitations just do suck... especially when there's these "district limitations". Why would they exist in the first place...

I think you can just let the fetch quests sit in the quest log till you get around to them. That's what I did.

Oh, and cancer really blows.

Oh, god, this.
It was at least bearable for the first few vids. But geez, it's gotten way past funny by now, and yet they're always, always the top rated comments. *sigh*

It annoys me even more when I'm watching something at least vaguely interesting on YouTube, with any 2 of the above quoted comments having over 100 "thumbs up", and there's a really interesting comment just below them in the normal comments section, a comment that raises a good point and shows that the user who posted it has an IQ over 50, but only has 2 "thumbs up", and will quickly get overrun with more stupid comments, so as to make it disappear, never to be seen again.
...
*ahem*
So, to reiterate, "this".

Youtube was never anything above a bunch of apes, but I see where you're coming from. I especially abhor the comments on "real metal" videos (read: Slipknot, BFMV etc) dissing J-Beibz and other assorted popular artists:

"Popular video/song title has ludicrous amount of hits, and generic teen-metal video/song has generous yet inferior amount of hits?!?!?!? People should listen to REAL music! \m/"

If they enjoy listening to music, they should take pride in the fact that it's a niche, enjoyed only by a select group of people; of course, the irony in such statements is that their taste is little better than the people they're criticising, and that kind of "popular metal" is, well, poppy as hell.

I read "Fallout 3" and so for the entire paragraph I was thinking "What? no...no, I played 400 hours of that game and I can't figure out what quest this is...and Molyneux? What does he have to do with it...?" I was losing my shit man, trying to piece this together. And then I reread Fable 3 for like the 20th time and it finally looked like Fable 3 and not Fallout 3. Just thought I'd mention that.

That's kinda odd, I did a similar thing until I read "Molyneux" too, then I did a double take. How rare...

But we digress from ranting, I'm gonna rant about... huh, you've caught me at a time with nothing to rant. I'm sure I'll come up with something later.

A WHOLE HOUR OF TRYING TO GET ONE FUCKING FISH FOR MY WHORE OF A DAUGHTER
Everyone was asleep in my house before I read this. My mum was particularly annoyed because when she came in damanding to know what I was laughing at, I could hardly quote it verbatim!

OT: That DAMNED computer minigame in Alpha Protocol. It's supposed to be the tutorial on the EASIEST setting, yet I simply cannot do it! Stupid...stupid console based game! In fact...yes...that is my rant - forget Alpha Protocol in particular now. I hate SHITTY console ports onto PC. Ones where the developers have made NO effort whatsoever to make it PC friendly - the specs are ridiculously high for such poor graphics, loading areas every twenty yards and what happens when you try to customise the controls...?

LO AND BEHOLD....YOU CAN'T! My only choices are 'default keyboard setting', where I have to press 't' to attack and 'F12' to jump and '[ALT+F4]' to calm down. I especially hate it when the mouse axis is reversed and is unchangeable. Would it be SO hard to allow PC users to change the controls?

Oh...but wait...there is an option to change controls. Let's press it and see.....GAMEPAD? GAMEPAD?!?!?

Did you ever CONSIDER the possibility that....because I'm playing on a PC I might not OWN a gamepad? If I did it would be because I owned an Xbox in the FIRST place, Jackass!

/rant

Ahem. So, yes...I am aware that it is possible to buy Xbox/whatever controllers to connect to my PC, but I resent the fact I should have to kit my platform of choice out to resemble the console it took 6-18 months to port over from in the first place. It would be like if Sid Meier had put Civ onto consoles and when the disk is put in to the Xbox an error message comes up reading: Please attach Keyboard and Mouse before playing this game.

I don't know...perhaps this happens, I haven't seen anyone play Civ on consoles. Uh oh....I've started another rant in my head...Console-centric Civ V, my biggest dissapointment of 2010, besides that girl at work who I'd been wanting for months but when I finally snared her it turned out she had more issues than Windows Vista...

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


TL;DR - Bad console ports. Yes, I'm looking at YOU Alpha Protocol!
