The ten commandments of gaming

[instantbenz]

Thou shalt make one Madden(or any sports title) per console generation and sell yearly dlc roster update/texture update if needed/new features.

As I stated in a previous thread "Any sports game that has yearly installments are a scam-and-a-half-a-ham-sandwich.

How much better can you get the crowd or the sweat on the players' brows to look from this yr to the next? Not very-fucking-much."

I was slightly angry that day, but, as you can see, I agree.

Singleplayer (For Devs)

1. Fun > Realism. Always. And. Forever.
2. Do not use backtracking as padding.
3. If your game is too short, cut the price a bit or make more real content.
4. Enemy health should be within reason.
5. Do not make me find hundreds of hidden stars to get the best ending. Make me play through the main story perfectly.
6. If you are to infinitely spawn enemies, tell us clearly. (Or don't do it at all.)
7. DLC should make a game better than good, not bring it up to standard. (ie. Patches are not DLC)
8. If you're planning to sell DLC for $20, don't. $5 is plenty.
9. If you set up a sequel, make one. Even if your first game bombs.
10. Do not clone other games. There are enough original ideas left.

Multiplayer (For Players)

1. Don't be a dick.
2. Go easy on new players, allow for their lack of skills and encourage them to keep playing.
3. Do not use any weapons/tactics that are hopelessly broken in a friendly game.
4. If you must swear when you die, turn your mic off to do it.
5. If you're miles ahead, screw around and use some new tactics to give enemies a chance.
6. Share resources/powerups/ammo with your teammates.
7. Never try to be Leeroy unless your teammates are treating everything like SERIOUS BUSINESS.
8. Accept that you might just suck. Not every other player is cheating.
9. Don't teabag or trash talk your opponents, unless they're in the same room as you.
10. No hacking or glitching.

[nuba km]

though shall reward teamwork in multiplayer
though shall reward creative thinking
though shall let the player walk around outside the map if the figure out how do

 

[Skulltaker101]

-Thou shalt not keep creating bullshitty gimmicky interfaces (looking at you Mr Wii)
-Thou shalt not let cutscenes hog all the action.
-Thou shalt make a sodding GAME, not a sightseeing tour.
-Thou shalt not include turn-based combat. If I wanted that, I'd play chess.
-Thou shalt have a decent story with engaging characters, or at least hilarity and fun.
-Thou shalt use creative designers who have a love of games, not soulless sellouts.
-Thou shalt not Bioshock 2.

 

[Valkyrie101]

Thou shalt not release a full-priced game with only 4-5 hours of gameplay (Looking at you Medal of Honor)

Thou shalt not release a full-priced game with only 3.5 hours of gameplay (looking at you Homefront).

Thou shalt caution enemy grenadiers to exercise restraint at all times.

 

[jakjay1995]

Thou shalt not have bosses that spam one hit kill attacks.
Thou shalt not make unnecessary cutscenes.
Thou shalt not put random quick-time events in cutscenes.

 

[Kevon Huggins]

Thou shalt not develop another Call of Duty or Final Fantasy game

2nd that the ff part
Ot:
Thou shall must innovate over sequels
Thou shall not release stand alone expansions as "sequel" at full price (mw3 i am looking at you)
Thou shall not be greedy and fight against 2nd hand purchases
Thou shall not camp hack or grief

I would take this seriously if you hadn't made more than one obvious grammatical error when you have access to spellchecker.

sry spellchecker was not working

 

[andreas3K]

Thou shalt do your fucking homework when you design weapons. A machine gun is meant for continuous firing, an assault rifle is not. And a .44 magnum is not more powerful than a 5.56mm. Also, if all the other guns can be shot from the hip, there's no reason why the sniper rifle couldn't. And nobody uses laser pointers, especially not snipers.

Thou shalt make other weapons than the assault rifle a viable option. There's too many FPSs where the enemies use nothing but assault rifles, forcing me to use it as well, because it's the only gun that consistently gets ammo.

Thou shalt go fornicate thyself if you think regenerating health is a good idea.

 

[DannyJBeckett]

1. Thou shall not infinitely spawn enemies AT ALL.
2. Thou shall not put multiplayer over single-player.
3. Thou shall not deny the player their custom controller configuration.
4. Thou shall not get bought out by Activision.
5. Honour thy player and thy story-mode.
6. Thou shall not fill the game with Quick-Time Events
7. Thou shall not enforce a two-weapon limit.
8. Thou shall not worship thine false idols of motion-sensitive controls.
9. Thou shall not copy/paste levels to fill-out gameplay.
10. Thou shall not exclude mid-boss-fight checkpoints.

 

[Irriduccibilli]

Thou shalt not let pre-teens use a microphone
Thou shalt not be a dick when playing online
Thou shalt not exploit game glitches
Thou shalt not ***** and whine about day 1 DLC when you are buying games used or download them
(Seriously, if you havent done either of those, then what seems to be the problem? Day 1 DLC is almost always free anyway, and you usually get a code to download it if you pre-ordered the game anyway)

And last but most definitly not least...
Thou shalt not fight over which gaming platform is the best

 

[Cheezeypoofs]

Thou shalt not release a full-priced game with only 4-5 hours of gameplay (Looking at you Medal of Honor)

Hey, it may have only been 4-5 hours but it was a dam good 4-5 hours.

sry spellchecker was not working

If you above the age of eight you have no excuses.

That was the problem with Medal of Honor, I wanted to play more than there was. Kinda felt like a tease.

Agree'd, I can't think of a first person shooter that dropped my jaw like a good SMT game.
