Biggest bullshit in a video game

> XP grinding
Just a way to hide the fact the game has no content. If I see an XP bar that needs to be filled up before progressing or locking me out if stuff in the game, it's an instant uninstall

@Null look at this, inline spoiler image attachments are permablurry and unclickable

don't use ispoiler with images?

 

[AnOminous]

Can't unblur it on PC either

You just have to click it on the bottom. It isn't even really for images but text.

Recent Baldur's Gate 3 honor mode run. Dude hits my Tave with hold person so I magic missile his ass.

Bro just succeeded through 13 wisdom saving throws in a row, he must be Grognar the giga wizard or something because what the fuck?

> no crossplay
It's 2024, is every single programmer retarded nowadays? Apparently the answer is yes!

There's absolute bullshit you have to deal with both MS and Sony, and the more multiplayer/social features you got, the more BS rules they'll throw at you.

Crossplay was probably easier 15 years ago when the big 3 weren't playing the police that much.

Key plot Items that can be tossed or sold.

I actually like this, I hate it when my inventory has 500 quest items I don't need anymore.

If you're dumb ass sells the god slaying dagger of extreme plot importance for 10 gold maybe your ass deserves to be softlocked.

I'd say it really depends. If there's some incredibly important item and they disguise it as something totally mundane, so you only find out after 100 hours of grinding bullshit that you got rid of an utterly necessary item that was taking up one of your six inventory slots, so now you have to start all over again, then it's bullshit.

The biggest BS in video games is Neil Cuckman.

His series got replaced by the Fallout TV show as the "Take that, Chuds" tv show.

So not even anything worthwhile. Some old fighting games are the worst with this crap, shoot'em ups too, yet somehow, beat'em ups (those I've played at least) aren't as bad.

Oh lord. I played through the Marvel vs Capcom collection. Every game besides MvC2 has a proper ending for all the characters. What do you get with MvC2? Thanks for playing.

WarThunder is fun until the game begins placing you in matches with players who've paid for vastly superior planes, tanks, and ships.

An lot of war games are like that, unfortunately. Shit's been that way for years

Pronoun shit really puts me off games. I get it, people put their "preferred pronouns" in their fucking email headers but it's such a buzzkill for me in games. Fields of Mystria is a stardew clone that I would be into but straight away there's the giant option menu for every pronoun you could (not) ask for. GW2 has had a tranny NPC in Lion's Arch since launch that will tell you about how xer is a troon. I came back to gw2 after several years for the chink expansion and as soon as you meet the new main story companion she goes "I'm they/them".
It's just so off putting that in fantasy games it can't just be unvoiced and unmarked and has to be actively thrown into your face. Same with Solasta. As soon as I saw the pronoun choice, my hype died and I cbf with the game.

It's like the smell of urine at a train station in a bad area
You're only there for a few minutes, so it makes no sense to start throwing a tantrum about it, but it's almost a certified guarantee that there are huge issues

Disgusting, as if forced homo couples weren't off-putting enough. Quite off-topic, but I think the order of the alphabet in L,GB,T, is not accidental, it's the order in which they brainwash the average male consoomer into "acceptance".

"What's wrong chud, don't you like 2 girls kissing? What's wrong chud, just means more girls for you! What's wrong chud didn't you know all girls are bi :^). What's wrong chud, if you can't get a gf then become the gf"
Bringing this back on topic, but it's reminiscent of when one dialogue choice could make you gay by accident about 10-15 years ago. Only this time, ala Veilguard, you accidentally lock yourself into becoming a troon.

Timegating in single player games. I play on my own. Dont need to wait sixteen hours for a craft. If a game does that, I WILL use cheats to get around it.

I don't mind it, if it makes sense. "this guy has 500 hp, you need to do x dps to beat him". AIght, a goal. Effectively however? You do 50% less dmg and they do 30% more. That's it. No challenge to meet, just artificial fuckery.

WarThunder is fun until the game begins placing you in matches with players who've paid for vastly superior planes, tanks, and ships.

The man who 'invented' 'skill-based' matchmaking said the goal is winning one, losing one, and having a who-knows match put in, and if you win it, you get severely upmatched with intent to knock you down again. Sounds fine on paper but then you realize they put this into games with KILLSTREAKS. The only way people got 25 kills and a nuke in CoD MW2 was cheating, smurfing, or abusing.

I cant believe GSC Gameworld thought it would be smart to not make 4k textures and other languages a separate, free download.

The game is 150 gigs and just got an update that's 110 GIGS!

I now need to somehow scrounge up enough money to buy an exterior ssd for one fucking video game.

I hate modern vidya.

Playing Drakengard 3 Branch D ending where the boss battle is a rhythm game. If you played Drakengard 1(like i did) you know what youre gonna deal with but nothing prepared me for the bullshit that yoko taro(the creator) had made. You see the rhythm game starts simple and it ramps up as normally thing is that certain points the camera zooms out and you can barely see the rings you need to match with. Other times the game zooms into you and you cant see the rings coming. At other times the camera aligns in such way that you cant see the rings well because they overlap. At one point the camera just zooms away from you out of bounds and you have guess and match the rings essentially blind. Finally the biggest fucking troll that made put of the game for months is that near the end the screen darkens, so you would think is over and you dont have to keep playing. WELL THINK AGAIN MOTHERFUCKER because the rhythm game keeps going on even as the screen darkens so you have to match the rings in the dark. Did i forget to tell you that if at any point you fuck up, you die and have to restart this all over again? No, well now you know.


All that said, the fight is meant for you navigate through by listening rather than eye sight which is what the boss fight expects from you and when you do is fairly easy. Still bullshit though if youre doing it for the first time.
