Well that's not in "99%" of all games, but I assume you mean new games. It's a fairly new thing that seems to happen to games that use HD graphics. I guess you have to have a giant flat panel HD TV to read them.BNguyen said:
So, obviously pre-HD games didn't have this problem. Come to think of it they didn't have voices either. More fodder for my old man "back in my day games were better" argument.
The text is small because of high definition, if you lower the resolution you get bigger text.BNguyen said:

I have difficulties in seeing what is what in Fallout 3 to the point I waste time going to investigate what I think is a boost like Nikola Tesla to clicking on a small burnt book.
Deus Ex never had this problem and that game is notoriously dark.
I think one of the worst games for being to dark is GTA4, it seems everytime I run from the police I end up driving under a bridge where against all ends I end up on the dark side of the moon and crash
The bigger problem is that games are either too dark or too bright.
More time is spent on making games look nice while barely any time is spent on the games actually playing like they should.
There have been enough games where the game looked pretty but the hit/collision detection was shit, the AI was pathetic and enemy placement in levels looked like it was done by a bunch of 10 year olds with ADHD and a massive amount of sugar.

A complaints thread sweet a few grievances reccently. Why can I not pause during cutscenes or conversations in so many games? Seriously the phone goes, my door goes I need to rush to the loo but I'm in the middle of an important part of the story or getting into the immersion we have all been there at least once.
And what happened to minigames? Good minigames they were always a nice way to pad out a game wiht more content if done well maybe offering items for them if done well etc, unlike games reccently which seem to enjoy ramming fetch quest after, fetch quest down my throat *looking at you ass creed 2* still a great game mind.

gameplay length is my biggest problem these days im forking out $100-$120 for a new release and it is over just as i get into it eg modern warfare 2 bioshock and assasins creed 1 i mean baldurs gate 2 had 200+hours of gameplay without expansions
I used to have issues with the tiny text, until I got a HD tv, and a High Definition Multimedia Interface cable. I have no trouble with reading the text now. If you already have an HD screen, then maybe you should get your eyes checked. Could be possible you need glasses.BNguyen said:
holy god yes, i fuckin HATE having to go to the menu's and screw with the music/voice/sound effects for hours, where the sword and jumping sounds will make an earthquake but the voices at the top of there lungs are barely whispers...then after the dialogue, there is a cataclysmic roar from your speakers as the game goes back to its "normal volume"BNguyen said:
why dont they just amp up the font on the text, and make the right joystick a scroller for the text? is it really that hard? takes up the same amount of space but just bigger font
what games are you playing? i ALWAYS turn them on, because they are always off, hell i do that through half of the movies i watchWoodsey said:
Yeah, this is a problem for me too.
You know 'The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend' mission in MW2? I had to play it again cause I couldn't hear the dialogue. Which kinda sucked, because that mission was emotional.
