Biggest bullshit in a video game

Anti-tank guns in Call to Arms: Ostfront.

They can see you through foliage and one-shot anything that isn't a Tiger or KV-series. Making things worse is even if you spot them first, you're generally out of range with HE shells; they just laugh at AP shells and because MGs must be surplus from the Stormtroopers in Star Wars in CTA you aren't going to hit them with that either.

Yeah, and men feel the same way. There's a reason heroes in games never look like:

Speaking of which, earlier in the year I gave a second look to Rage, a game with very good graphics for 2011, and still very good by today's standards. Then I came across this character, and, well, I didn't realize I was so used to uggos in western games. She oddly made the game feel like it was from another dimension. I know that sentence sounds gay, but I can't really think of a better way to put it. An actual attractive, but not trashy lady in a modern-looking western game, who has agency but isn't a girlboss. That's just something you never see anymore.

Multiplayer content that may be done solo is nice. Not so nice when there's new armor/weapons you can get from said content but it's RNG upon RNG upon RNG if the piece you want will even show up. Heaven help you if you want a version with upgrade slots.

No, I'm not fond of Daemon Ex Machina's "labyrinth" maps.

Why add games to services when their servers are axed? Why sell DLC for 10+ year old games at full price?

Neither. They're there so the shitlib devs can get a virtueboner from being woker than you.

The concept that is obliterating female character design in video games is "the male gaze." Critical feminism has a big, big problem with the fact that men evolved to like looking at pretty ladies, and an even bigger problem with the fact that women evolved to be looked at. As the theory goes, if you design a female character that a male would enjoy looking at, you have "subjected her to the male gaze," and reduced her from a person to an object. The only way to portray a woman as a person is to picture something that no man would want to touch.

This is the woman who came up with the idea:

They don't know shit about men. Men will "touch" anything.

It's absolutely stupid. If there is a woman out there not getting "touched" it's because she isn't allowing it and that's her fucking problem.

Old videos games that relied on remembering patterns and trial and error. Like going through a whole stage just to die and have to do it all over again.

The insane grinding in the Disgaea series. That and its childish weaboo plot is obnoxious to me for the most part. The older games have decent plot and characters, but it seems they regress as the series went on. If the series wants to cater exclusively to a middle-school age demographic then I guess us grown people can't be expected to like it, so I jumped off of that series ship despite my love for tactical RPGs.

Dude D1 had jokes about horse penises. Phantom Brave was their only attempt at a serious story.

I think you're just getting older.

Part of the problem lies with gamers. They cry if a game doesn't chew them up and spit them back out, but a truly fair game can only be so difficult before it inevitably just throws a bit too much at the player in some way.
