Worst loading screen-tip

[ganpondorodf]

I'm enjoying RE5, but the "history of Resident Evil" things during loading screens are starting to annoy me. There's only, like, 5 of them and they keep repeating.

I know that's not technically a loading "tip", but still.

 

[Mikkelet]

"Use grenade by pressing [some key] - Grenades can be used to kill your enemies."

- Some game, which I dont remember

 

[jibjab963]

Press LT to shoot. Really? LT you say? And here I thought it was right on the D-pad.

 

[Cmllo]

I'm amazed by how many of you actually take those tips seriously. Or am I being the idiot for taking your comments seriously?

 

[GuerrillaClock]

The godawful shite on the Guitar Hero games. I don't mind when it's an interesting fact, but when it's the horrendous, patronising Bill-and-Ted-speak it really gets my goat.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

"Nobody ever makes the first jump."

Call of Duty 4 after failing to jump into the helicopter at the end of the first level.

 

[Grayjack]

"You need a refridgerator (spelt wrong i think) in your practice area , it`s more important than a bassist"


"if your singer ain`t happy, ain`t nobody happy"

Guitar hero delivering sound advice since 2001

Damn Guitar Hero making fun of bassists!

 

[Alphacron]

New one "press B to jump"

sorry...unforgotten realms referrence...

 

[One Seven One]

there was one in banjo kazooie nuts and bolts that said

tips are always usefull, well as you see this one is an exception.

still, it was funny when i saw it

 

[ZomgSharkz]

This isn't a loading screen tip but you know how in Halo 3 it will randomly pop up tips in the middle of a game?

Well once on match making I was sneaking around with a shotgun and "Use L-stick and the B button to preform banshee tricks." came up. Where the hell did that come from?

 

[ace_of_something]

something like "The van ride across Nebraska is incredibly long" from guitar hero or rock band.

I'm from Nebraska and found this hilariously true; but at the same time insulting.

 

[Jarc42]

"Use the controller"

The Adventures of Bayou Billy - NES

Actually, there where sections of the game that involved a zapper, the loading screen would tell you to use ether the zapper or the controller.

...how do I know that?

 

[Shadow Law]

"if you launch an air strike make sure you are out of the blast radius"
-some game i don't remember the name of

Mercs 2 along with the nuke bunker buster that still doesn't kill you instantly.

 

[Meado]

"You have about 56 seconds to use the bathroom during the organ solo" - Rock Band 2. It's a tip when you load up 'Won't be fooled again' and yes, there is a minute long section of the song where no one is playing. Awesome and stupid at the same time.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

"Is your bassist too loud? Turn it down in the audio menu"

Guitar Hero - Always insulting me!

Why must everyone neglect the bass in everything?

 

[sirdanrhodes]

"Is your bassist too loud? Turn it down in the audio menu"

Guitar Hero - Always insulting me!

Why must everyone neglect the bass in everything?

They all hate me.

Or- I hate this one...

[HEADING=2]You were killed by a grenade, watch out for the grenade danger indicator.[/HEADING]

this

or pretty much all of the help messages The Animus gives you in ASsassins' Creed. the worst being "When you Are out of knives, replenish your stock......" and then the message gets cut off, because you resyncronise before the message finishes. if your going to give hints like that, make sure they can be finished before booting us back in. conversely, in the longer 'area-transition' loading times, gives us longer messages, instead of the short ones, so we at least have somehting to do rather than fling the throwing knives at the menacing blue clouds of Maths

 

[Yegargeburble]

Generally the ones explaining the controls, because they don't change if you remap them. If it doesn't change, then it isn't specific enough to be helpful anyway. (e.g. Press the shoot button to shoot.)


Or- I hate this one...

[HEADING=2]You were killed by a grenade, watch out for the grenade danger indicator.[/HEADING]

I hate that indicator message so much, the word hate doesn't adequately describe how much I hate it...

 

[Ryuuk]

i always hate the ones that state the obvious. such as...

use a health kit to restore health

make sure you have the right ammunition for the weapon you are using.

so on and soforth.
