Poll: Poll: If you could ban one thing in modern action games, what would it be?

[Lonely Swordsman]

The dark graphics. I absolutely hate these.

 

[Devildoc]

My one thing.. fixed cameras.

Are those still even in games?

Yup.. in quite a few actually, and they're primarily featured in areas with an emphasis on platforming, you know, the time you really want the camera to be freely manuverable.

Fixed cameras are like the #1 complaint about DMC4..

 

[Da_Schwartz]

Bad one liner jokes?

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

One of the main reasons that I absolutely HATE Gears of War is that it was so dark and gritty that I couldn't see anything.

You, sir, need to get your eyes checked.

 

[hopeneverdies]

All of those things.

Agreed. Also don't overdo it on bloom, I couldn't play Mirror's Edge because it was way too bright.

Actually QTE's can stay if you make them a core part of gameplay.

This applies to all games, but especially modern action.

Please stop with the "OMGZ HAHA YOU WILL NEVER BEAT THIS" difficulty.

Well excuse me for wanting replayability that stems from a thirst to challenge myself.

It's not really a challenge. It's "play enough times so that you know where all the enemies come from and exactly what to do at what point in time after 500 million deaths"

 

[Mit kebes]

Licensed games. Almost never good.

 

[lostclause]

Cliff hangers. Need to go! This setting up for a sequel stuff just makes already weak plots even weaker (halo 3).

 

[Sanaj]

Fanboyism. Of course, for that, I'd require at least a scalpel. Or a pickaxe.

This, however, I would apply this statement to all games not just modern action ones.
We can start with the destruction of many of the franchises...axing all remakes and most sequels.
Also, I think we're going to need something with quite a bit more power than a pickaxe...

 

[S-Unleashed]

dark gritty graphics

 

[WendelI]

I also HATE dark and gritty graphics, i don't see anything and they make fun things into a depressing ball of bleh. I mean look at fallout. The music of the game is what kept me playing the rest was just too depressing.

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

I believe any game that is released should have a single player option... it gives the chance to learn the game style and to learn good tactics

 

[Flying-Emu]

The dull and opressive settings. I want to see a shooter set in a land of rainbows.

Kitten Cannons?

 

[Random Argument Man]

Space-marines and guys in some "special" suit.

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

stealth missions that break up the flow

 

[irishstormtrooper]

More single player content. I realize the money is in multiplayer but sometimes you just want to sit down and do a good camapaign and have it last longer than 2 hours.

What he said.

 

[flare09]

I knew what I was going to say before I even saw the poll options. Regenerating health. Health packs are cool, but I don't like it when people can run away and come back into the battle just fine after having 20 pounds of lead dumped into them.
