Refrences to homosexual intercourse. I don't know why but hearing about it on a videogame weirds me out. That and overly muscular identically power armored space marines. (Halo, GOW, Section8, Fracture.) if it looks like you have to use 10 kilos of steroids to be the character you play I can't honestly play more than one version.

Sexual content. If anyone walks in on me it feels weird. This is why I hated the Heavy Rain sex scene because it was so gratuitous and you can't skip it if you go through with it. And I love the scene after wards.
One, in beyond good and evil.
When I was 10 when I first met the Alpha Sections I was scared, because I could not kill them.
But past that I am fine.

There was one level in Mario 64...
It was underwater, and there was a ship deep down that you were supposed to swim to. What always freaked me out was the giant leviathan that was swimming around. It may seem silly, but that level gave me chills when I was a kid, and it makes me uncomfortable to this day.

I never thought about that but it would have been nice if that had factored in to it(and maybe as an opposite to your idea)this isnt my name said:I have a few issues with how rdr was handled. Like how my fame/honour didnt effect the ending. If I had high fame/honour I wantedAgDr_ODST said:curse that glass eye I really wanted to kill him.

Along with Seth. Sadly they dont stay dead, and the game ignored the fact I killed seth. So I killed him againAgDr_ODST said:
Basicallyafter he first talks to you playing cards, I threw a firebottle at him and his friend, he survived so I dragged him on my horse. Then you complete his quest, go back, he lives, despite being dead. And then after he party I kill him and his guests. And the he is alive for the ending. No getting rid of that guy. Must be the glass eye.
More people at my funeral, the nuns made an effort to give me free stuff in the middle of nowhere, least they could do, along with the friends I hade made who survived. Also an option to join dutch/bill and an option to say "to hell with my family" (I hated your wife (cant remember name) and Jack)would rather just start a new life and forget about them, sure would go against the plot, but hey for the next read dead, I want more choices.
if your honor is in the extreme lows the likes of waltons gang/banditos and Reyes show up and honorable types(sheriffs, marshals etc) say bad things and spit on your grave. However I wasn't against killing the old gang(Bill anyway...Dutch and Javier were cool) but Im inclined to agree with you about not liking Abigail and Jack. I would have much prefered he go seek out Bonnie and help her run her families ranch. And I also would have liked a chance to survive the shoot out that kills John even though in dying to protect his family he gains his final measure of 'redemption'
I hate the witches in L4D. They aren't really scary, but I get nervous and paranoid whenever they're around.
When I have a really powerful weapon but I can't hit the enemy and the enemy is getting closer and closer. Eventually I begin to run out of ammo. Preferably if the enemy only makes itself visible for enough time to be shot at then disappears.
This happened to me in Dead Money. I was playing and getting more and more tired. Finally I said "Fuck it," pulled out my strong police pistol. Everything was going fine. But soon it started to get freaky.
Long story short, I was confused lost, running low on ammo and barely alive while fighting off 3 or so of those terrifying gas-mask creatures. I knew there were a bunch more around me that were coming for me and I could hear them. However, I didn't know where they were, how far away they were, and whether or not I could handle them. So I ran away, shooting at whatever moved until I just stopped, got up, shut off my Xbox, and went to sleep. I just couldn't handle it.
Stuff running around in the background always freaks me out. I was just watching an episode of Psych where they see a ghost moving through the woods in the distance and when they showed the ghost I was legitimately terrified. I was chilled and shakey and freaked out. Jumpy stuff and monsters don't scare me. Shit that's not afraid to be out in the open but still not hostile does.

Yeah that would have been great. Doing the same types of ranching missions that you do at your ranch only your with Bonnie, Drew and that one ranch hand doing them. And maybe a mission where you just walk about(or go hunting) and just spend time with Bonnie chatting.this isnt my name said:I agree, I much prefered Bonnie as a character to Abigail. And you could still have a similar game taking her path, such as getting bill out of new austin to help the area, then maybe add some missions like getting horses, fighting rustlers, etc. I was annoyed because I was forced to help someone I at best didnt care for and at worst hated.

Yeah, it would have been great if they had a hard ending to get where you survive.
Only issue is it would kinda lessen the story, and go agaisnt the "I know you" quests. I liked that, especially the "fine spot" that man was standing on was your graves location.
And As for the "I know you" maybe they could have cut out the last visit(and the fine spot bit) or changed the location(and the nature) of his appearance and comment to McFarlanes. Alternatively have John bleed out defending(not from Ross or the corrupt law) Drew, Bonnie or a son/daughter that he has with Bonnie and the comment is made on the spot where he bleeds out not where he's buried
Being low on ammo and/or health in a game that only gives them out sparingly; namely survival horrors.
Watching the player character *ahem* pet his dog in Fable 3. What Yahtzee said was true, it really does look like he's trying to make out with it. He looks like he's kissing it and feeling it up, and it has always put me off.
This also applies to the majority of interaction with NPC's as well, it's just so silly and trivialising the way they portray human relationships and at points it actually hurts to watch it. It's actually embarrasing and shameful to watch at some points, after a while going evil and murdering people is the only thing you can really do, because at least when I'm going around killing people, I don't have to interact with them.
Also going into my quarters in my most recent playthrough in Mass Effect 2 was painful, because this was the first (and only) time I was planning to 'move on' from Ashley and romance someone else (in this case, Jack) and I know it's silly but I actually literally felt bad for doing it. I had convinced myself that it would 'only be this one time and it doesn't really count' but I still felt lousy when the picture turned face down.
I know that every other playthrough I do, I'm sticking with Ash.
... That's all I got right now.

I'm glad you brought that up actually. I remembered that there was indeed a game which did it right... but for the life of me could not remember which. It must have been Uncharted 2 and I agree, it was VERY well done... but then again what wasn't in that game?Vykrel said:
Oh I totally agree with this.Spy_Guy said:
I reached exactly the same ending with my first character and wanted the same thing. I mean surely the whole point of going down the independant route would be so I can do what the hell I like? I was so dissapointed when I couldn't use my robot army to help anyone and felt like I'd been cheated into betraying everyone, something that also makes me uncomfortable because I'm ALWAYS the paragon and can't bare to play renegade style.
So yeah, for such an open ended game which promotes choice at every turn, with intertwining missions and the corresponding consequences... it had one hell of a linear ending.
I can completely sympathise with these points. Yahtzee was 100% correct on his Fable 3 review, for once none of his comments were exagurated or unjustified. Making out with your dog is the most disturbing thing to do in that game, I always felt dirty when doing it and would turn the sound down in case anyone overheard and thought I was watching some cheap porno!

As for Mass Effect 2... yeah it kind of has that effect doesn't it? I'm so careful when I play through that game and will sometimes reload/replay huge chunks if I miss a paragon action or say the wrong thing to someone... I seriously care what they think of my Sheperd! In fact I actually replayed Mass Effect 1 all the way through again JUST to change the fact that I had romanced Liara... because I wanted to pursue Garrus in ME2 and didn't want to be seen as a cheating *****!
In persona 4 when I had to fight a giant stripper... thing... that shot magic out of it's crotch. Even the entire level was made to look like a strip club.
Being straight and conservative I just found it awkward to play through that. I don't mind if other people go to strip clubs but I don't want a fire breathing vagina (well thankfully it wasn't that detailed) shoved in my face.
