Biggest bullshit in a video game

So awesome getting killcam'd in Skyrim. Nothing says "the developers didn't care" like the game unplugging my keyboard and declaring victory.
Shit always happens at around 40% health too (a ludicrous amount to be kill-cammed for) and almost always when I'm about to open up my inventory to chug a few potions or shove a few wheels of cheese down my gullet. Absolute rage every time, and not in the fun way.
 
>play gta online for the first time
>game instructs you to "get a vehicle"
>steals sports car in free roam
>"this is a premium vehicle." try another vehicle

Magypisies are a hard sell. People think it promotes transgenderismm, which might be a huge issue.
I've heard that excuse before, I guess a vocal minority (one that loves being offended) is enough to fuck over an entire fanbase.

God forbid Nintendo tells those people "It's not for you." and releases a game that's in high demand.
 
How van you guys mention x Ray without mentioning the last of us, where everyone who is the main character has it.
No one mentions Project IGI where everyone except the main character has it. It is not an exaggeration, the enemies see you and track you through walls but won't fire until you turn a corner. Great game. No quick- or mid mission saves though.

While GTA online itself is bullshit because it expects you to either play it like a full-time job or fork over real life money, it still baffles me that Rockstar went out of their way to make sure you won't be doing much grand theft auto in a game called grand theft auto. You can only sell stolen cards once every 20 minutes and it can't exceed the value of 7500$.

Urban Chaos Riot Response is a game with some innovative features for its time (2006) and is initially pretty fun but then every level feel the same. If you played 10 minutes you basically played the whole game. Sometimes the game is too dark and you are encouraged to use your thermal visor to see better (in a dark shade of purple) but the enemies can see in the dark without any special gear. Sometime you kill a civilian because they ran between you and an enemy holding a chainsaw while you were bashing them with a riot shield. There's also a train level with a npc you need to defend on each end and you're gonna hear them scream for help while you're helping the other.

So far the biggest bullshit I've encountered is a hostage situation that's right behind a door, but the door is kicked open by the enemy holding the hostage. If you get too close, the enemy panics and shoot the hostage. Yeah you went too close to the door didn't you? Anyone playing this game is going to have the hostage killed by accident on their first try, which results in a game over. "Fortunately", there's a checkpoint right before this happen so you don't have to restart the whole level. But the game has secondary objectives that earn you medals to unlock content and finishing a level without using a checkpoint is one such objective. They designed this so you have to fail at least once and have an excuse to restart the level if you want to collect the fucking medal. I'm not trying to get them so idc but the fact that they consciously did this disgusts me and has earned them my spit.

The whole game and community is bullshit. They wont bother patching god mode glitches yet trigger an exploit to earn some money, watch R* patch it in an instant.

Because a player cheating and ruining the entire lobby's fun doesn't stop whales from buying shark cards. Rockstar doesn't give a fuck about the game so long as morons keep buying those shark cards.
 
Sport games.

Most 'sport games' fans are insecure dudebros who buy a PS5 cause they heard someone say it's great, then they see the game library and have to pick between some sport they heard about, or some shitty nerd game/kids game, so obviously they pick the sport. Then it ends up gathering dust cause they don't play it themselves cause they're shit.

And the process repeats.

I never played GTA Online, what do money even do? It is a stupid question I know but does it get you something that can't be taken away?

You can buy cars, housing, storage for your cars, yachts, planes, boats, military vehicles, buildings/assets required to play certain missions, guns, ammo, clothes.

The problem is is that everything fun to do, costs an absurd amount of money, and making money takes an exponentially longer amount of time to earn than spend (including some avenues for making more money). The entire economy is designed to make you want to just drop 200$ to get enough ingame money to buy that one new car that just got added rather than work towards it.
 
I was playing Xcom 2 yesterday and now i'm encountering berserker queens

  • they get a full turn after one of your guys does literally anything, even tiny shit like just reloading
  • just marches right up to your dudes and spergs out, causing like 5 damage when most of them have 7hp max and also stuns or knocks them out
  • lots of armor
  • tons of HP
  • have to savescum a lot because sometimes they just kill a nigga at full health and im playing on easy mode ffs
  • just shows up in random skirmishes
  • even if my dudes survive I'm continuously underpowered because almost everyone is hospitalized so I end up with classless rookies fighting this thing
  • later found out it's part of a DLC i could have disabled, but can't mid-game
  • even the steam reviews of the DLC point out that it's shit and makes the game unbelievably difficult, it's like a trap and you have to know to not install it if you bought the complete edition (if you bought console then sux2bu) https://store.steampowered.com/app/433090/XCOM_2_Alien_Hunters/#app_reviews_hash

Plus, as Earthbound (Mother 2) tanked in the US, Nintendo probably felt it did not want to take the same chance on the series outside of Japan again, particularly as Mother 3 was released on the Gameboy Advance as the system was nearing the end of its lifespan as the Nintendo DS was on its way.

Nintendo probably assumes that the people that are clamoring for a stateside Mother 3 release are just a niche market of fanboys which are insignificant in the grand scheme of players as they probably feel that zoomers, their current target demographic, do not even know or care what Earthbound or Mother 3 are.

Now, it is these sorts of attitudes made by companies that result in them shooting themselves in the foot, yet they do it all the time. After all, look how Konami threw a fit over Hideo Kojima and canceled Silent Hills P.T. and practically scorned its entire fanbase as they decided to focus on pachinko games. Most people who grew up with Konami hate the company with what it has become, yet they still refuse to change their course.
