Things that you are really getting sick of seeing in games?

[Captain Pancake]

Tom clancy games where you are "America's only hope"

 

[Vauban]

Bullet Time, stop putting in everything you can.

Bad story the thing that make like a game most is the story good characters and good dialogue one of the most important part of the game

 

[scotth266]

Text-based stories. NO MORE. I WANT AT LEAST A NARRATION.

 

[The_Prophet]

Ok, Ok, I'll correct it.
I'm sick of seeing lingerie models with big titts as heroes and I'm also sick of everyone yelling about things that they are sick of seeing in games. Not like you're going to make them stop doing that.

 

[Khazoth]

I'm sick of seeing the total lack of quality Cyberpunk games... Why the fuck did the only Shadowrun video game have to be utter crap?

 

[NotAPie]

"Realism". It started off as a term to describe how amazing some of the newer technology really was. Now it is overpowering trend surrounding every mechanic of a game. Realism is responsible for only being able to carry 2 friggin guns at a time, or running out of breath after sprinting 10 feet. Those 2 examples by themselves weren't really a problem, but now that every game uses them its annoying. Developers need to realize that realism doesn't always mean a good video game. After all, the most realistic video game would be playing through our every day lives, nobody wants to play that.

I love you.
I agree 100%

Plus 1 to misanthropy.

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

I am sick of the same thing over and over again. Its like they are afraid to make original games out of fear they wont sell. We need more original ideas like Portal and Mirror's Edge.

I suppose I'll be going with escort missions. The only fun escort mission in the entire history of gaming is the one that takes up half the experience of Resident Evil 4. Somehow, some way, they made Ashley rather easy to deal with, and escorting her was not a problem at all for me. She ducked when she was in front of me and I aimed in her direction, when she was behind me when I pulled up my gun, she stayed behind me, and when I told her to stay put, she stayed put. I don't know how you did it, Capcom, but in spite of your incessant urges to do some rather unfair stuff in most of your games, you made the escort mission fun.

Mute, faceless characters. It's really hard to care for the protagonist, if he doesn't say a single word throughout the game. It kills the immersion. It's not so unbelieveably difficult and expensive to hire a voice actor.

I disagree completely. Give me a mute, faceless character and I'll give that character a backstory, a motivation, and a personality that he wouldn't have if I had the developer force-feeding me the character. It's why I love Morrowind and Oblivion and why I still think GTA3 was the best game in the Grand Theft Auto series.

You, Monsieur de Monet, are très awesome. Singleplayer for life (or "4 lyfe", as the kiddies say these days.)

 

[Mackinator]

Large breasted women, guys with huge guns, Mario, Emo RPG characters, Alien invasions,space marines,bald space marines,stupid dick support characters, mellow drama, cover systems, Guitar Hero. I think thats all, I would love some originality in games soon, because at this rate I will stop playing games and just start writing novels.

Any original writing ideas ?

Its not "like theyre afraid" they ARE afraid and I dont think we'll see original games until this economic slump is over- they cant take risks now.

 

[Biek]

Im sick of seeing scarcely clothed heroines. Not only is it impractical, it makes me feel insulted for being the target audience.

 

[Iron Mal]

I personally am getting sick of every shooter these days being a military shooter, what ever happened to games like DOOM, Quake and the old Turok games?

Also, what ever happened to good space marines? I can see why everyone is getting tired of seeing the US Army vs. Galactic Taliban/Space Communists match up but I don't think we should slate the whole idea of space marines because of this.

I find it hard to justify the suggestion that all space marines are alike, someone please point out the simmilarities between the guys from Halo and Warhammer 40k marines to me (besides the name and the fact that both happen to be situated in places besides Earth/Terra).

 

[Guitar Gamer]

I said it once and I'll say it again ARBITARY LOVE INTERESTS!

 

[seamusotorain]

The constant shades of gray and brown. Why can't we have a kaleidoscopic game, set in the 1970s?

 

[Fallingwater]

Any game in which they take away your guns and you have to start over. I've worked my ass off to explore the whole goddamn fucking world in search of more/better guns and ammo - I don't want to have to rebuild my whole arsenal just because the main character was too dumb to look behind him and got socked in the head during a cinematic!

 

[Xerosch]

Super badass/mute marine/soldier/fighter/heroes in any kind of war (WW2, Aliens, Dinosaurs) with generic faces fitting the white american role model, always blubbering about patriotism, how tough they are and how they will kill everyone questioning their values.

I am so goddamn tired of them!

army games where you are in a squad. the squad is useless and make you do all the work. the rest of the squad does nothing. what is the purpose of being in squad where you are basically a one man army. they need to help or get fuck out of the game. you beat all the enemies and they act like they did it. i like games where you are a one man army but don't give me useless characters . i like squad based games too but i hate useless charcters. cough dom from gears of war. cough
