Biggest bullshit in a video game

[mensch]

Having to consult the PC gaming wiki and mess with config files for 2 hours because the Nips can't code their fucking PC ports to not be a stuttering mess. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, GHOSTWIRE!

This bullshit:

To be fair, there are a few pickups like this, hidden in the same room as a more obvious one. This one just sticks in my mind the most. Except for when it doesn't, and I wander all over the map looking for the missing tank.

Not exactly in game but the absurd pricing of mobile ports, particularly from Jap studios.

I had some Google play money from doing their surveys and had a look at what I could spend it on and the game prices are insane. Disgaea 1 is £30??? They want close to full price for a lazy android port of a 20 year old game. Fuck off with that shit.

how much is it on Steam? kind of curious if its lower on Steam and possibly a Google issue.

$33 on the US store, both Apple and Android. I don't think I've ever seen a single mobile game that expensive. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.nippon1.disgaearefine

By the way, this exists: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ppsspp.ppsspp and Disgaea 1 (and 2) got a perfectly good PSP port.

I actually ended up blowing the balance on ppsspp gold. Don't need it, regular version works fine, but everything else on the store is useless to me so thought might as well give a few pennies to the devs, the PSP emu is one of the better ones out there.

What's the point of mobile games, when you can play any game (and PSP apparently) on any device?

Fishing in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass sucks donkey ass, as is tying RNG into the fish necessary for a heart container.

Ocarina was the same way. I still don't know why sometimes the fish just gets away because fuck you.

I don't know the details about it in Links Awakening but in that one the fishing seemed fair. In Ocarina it felt a bit bullshit.

But at least that uses buttons and a joystick, using the touch screen to reel & pull makes the whole thing a bigger pain in the ass.

 

[The Last Stand]

In GTA2, you have to PAY to save your game. $50,000. You don't earn much money until halfway through. AND money is needed to progress from town to town.

accidentally unplugged the controller in sekiro just as genchiro was on the ropes and got murdered as a result

Besides I like the game, his great style and the cute sprites...I swear, Digimon World 3 (A game for the PS1) gets so fucking annoying sometimes, you have to grind like crazy and the evolutions are slow and complicated, also some quests are super boring and the games keeps you walking and walking to one city to another, I can understand why some people has a love/Hate relationship with this game

Mobile games are good when I want to play something casually.

Here is one that's very common - a shitty endgame while the beginning and middle have a lot of effort put into them. My guess it is done to appeal to reviewers who are unlikely to reach the game before making their review. But for the player you have a great experience ending underwhelmingly.

I would expect that to be the sign of a development cycle where time and money ran short at the end. And sadly, it's very common these days.

It really shows if the gameplay takes a suddenly different turn. Deus Ex: Human Revolution, for example, changes substantially near the end.

Alternatively, you have the MGSV situation where Konami decided way too fucking late to tard wrangle Kojima, and it fucking shows throughout the entire game.
