Biggest bullshit in a video game

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Inspired by Elden Ring - Trailers that actually have plot significance. I avoid trailers for games I want to play, and hearing that a massively important plot detail was not included in the game is bullshit.

Woke modern relocalizations fucking up remasters of classics, like Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's trooning Vivian.

If you don't put your squad meets on sentry mode in fallout tactics so just sit down and get shot they also love running over every single land mine

Total War in civilization not being able to make AI's actually harder so they just get a bunch of ridiculous unfair advantages instead of actually making the game more challenging

You fight your way through to the big bad boss in the most spectacular way, kick the bosses ass and then cut scene, all your agency gets taken away from you and the pissweak boss defeats you because the plot demands it. Fucking hate it every time.

I'm fucking tired that I can't say a game, or something in a game, sucks without being expected to right a college thesis on how I, personally, would go about fixing it.

This and the "I'd like to see you do better!" cliche makes me want to pull out my hair. I won't begrudge someone for finding something fun that I don't, but this kind of thought termination when you say something is bad is just pure consumerism. Nobody has to write a concerto to know scraping nails on a chalkboard is bad, and I don't have to release my own indie game to know that a game where you can fall through the floor is flawed, for example.

Wasn't Vivian always a troon in the original game's Japanese dialogue though? By that standard, that would make a relocalization of that particular instance a more accurate translation.

That said however, the other bits of the TTYD Remake that I've seen are absolutely retarded. For instance, removing dialogue so that the Goombas aren't cat-calling Goombella because of MUH SEXISM is stupid because those guys are supposed to be assholes.

It's technically an actual faggot who's just into crossdressing, but I can't read moon runes, obviously

I see. I remember hearing something along those lines, but with it primarily being a game I know only by reputation, the details are a little fuzzy for me.

Go figure this entire debacle gets featured 20 minutes after I post, though.

No, it was just the forgotten art of making fun of effetes.

Auto saving when you walk right into some mini boss fight that you couldn't even see appear from distance you were. Looking at you DoS2 also fuck your enemies always getting lucky with their "10% chance to poison/bleed/sleep/curse/athropy" atacks even when I still have phys/magic armour

 

[LOWERCASE LETTERS]

I'm tired of virtually every gaming discussion forum being filled with catty retards from reddit.

 

[The Last Stand]

When you fire an RPG on the ground in GTA IV, only to have the rocket deflect WAY off target.

 

[Seventh Star]

Anything that involves repairing your guns/tanks/planes. Those kike vatniks are obsessed with this shitty mechanic designed to drain shekels when its time to tank everyone's currency in any game.

Similarly RNG mechanics for shooters in general. The only exception would have to be bullet spread, and that's a maybe that depends on the game and subgenre.

 

[Cod of War]

Why do I have to pay bills in a video game?

Because Jewstar gotta Jew.

Cross-posting from the general thread but some of the biggest bullshit in a modern video game is Braid where to get all the stars for the "true ending" you have to stand on a cloud that takes an hour in real time where you need it to go, then you need to jump up. Oh, and alt-tabbing makes the game go twice as slow.

That Blow faggot got it in his head that wasting a person's time is a requirement for his games. Still can't get over having to watch an entire Carl Sagan video to complete a line puzzle in The WItness.

 

[Day of the Cope]

This is probably a me thing, but I fucking hate how so many games have NPCs ask things of you and never once say "thank you" for anything. Like, I get it, we need to make a video game happen. But while you're barking orders at me like a house nigger, could you at least have the NPC say "you're doing a good job, keep it up" between asking me to fetch your mail and kill Quartaxx, the Doombringer?

He was a trap/femboy kinda deal from what I can gather. It's a very similar brand of faggotry though.

Any "pipe" style track from F-Zero. Big Blue 1 from X and Fire Field: Cylinder Knot from GX are good examples. First of all, learning where every boost pad is can be a real chore. If you miss a pad on a normal track, it's just a case of "shit, well I'll get it next lap." But because the track is a cylinder, you can't see where the pads are.

Even if you know where they all are, actually piloting the craft into them can easily get you physicsed off the track (especially in GX, where the controls are very twitchy) and at best rejoin the track 90° from the track direction minus all your speed.

The "halfpipe" style tracks are almost as bad. You can actually see the pads, but you still have to deal with the knife-edge physics.

In SaGa Minstrel Song quests can be permanently locked if your event rank is too high. Your event rank increases by killing enemies and guess what you have to do in order to progress quests.
In the original version you could not see what your event rank was and in the remaster you could see your event rank.

In the same game your event rank determines how awakened the Jewel Beast is. Once awakened it'll rampage throughout a specific corner of the map. While exploring the map heading to a random location will cause the game to automatically assume a third person style field exploration. If this happens to you in the area where the Jewel Beast resides than it's basically a save file reload because you can't leave the area unless you get to a specific nearby town. Also it just so happens that the Jewel Beast is one of the games hardest bosses.

So basically you have to plan out what quests you can and cannot do (take a gander at this quest list https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/924486-romancing-saga/faqs/43160) which makes for a pretty unfun experience.

Still a great game though I highly recommend it! http://store.steampowered.com/app/1793030/Romancing_SaGa_Minstrel_Song_Remastered/

One last piece of bullshit but I hate how people disregard such a good, beautiful game all because of its art style.

That's pretty damn off-putting. The body proportions aren't stubby enough to achieve the PS1 cutesy Final Fantasy aesthetic, but they still have the grotesque giant heads.
