Biggest bullshit in a video game

Whenever an equipment gives a terrible effect but the game UI doesn't reflect that until the player realizes something is wrong.

Amy boss that teleport spams.

I know it's a skill issue but goddamned Ms. Isobe in yakuza 0. I'm also not too keen on the dodge the attack minigame for Kiryu's rush style either.

Any boss that legitimately breaks the established mechanics and isn’t a meme fight/ pure spectacle fight is bullshit.

I hate how FromSoft feels the need to keep pushing those into games where it becomes “Use this sword to beat this poorly designed boss” rather than “this boss is a push over, but the music and story surrounding the fight is cool”.

Teleporting is just a lazy variant of the old reliable “boss can go across the room in one second so you can’t fuck with it’s range because we didn’t design a good way for it to close the gap”.
 
Gran Turismo 4's Opera Paris track. Why were Polyphony Digital so obsessed with this garbage circuit? It's tiny, it's narrow and the last few corners have bumps right at the apex, so if you're driving a car with a lot of downforce it gets unsettled. You could call this a skill issue but I think the track would be better served by not deliberately designing corners that punish the driver for hitting the apex.

It wouldn't be so bad if it were a rare track, but the Gran Turismo World Championship (if GT4 has a campaign, then this is the "final boss") has a round there, and driving LMP/Group C cars around this parking lot is exactly as much fun as it sounds. The 1000 Miles! event has a round there (99 laps!). Hell, there's even an S-license test there.

It's a symptom of a larger problem - PD can't design a street circuit that isn't annoying (see also: Hong Kong).

E: It's actually 95 laps in 1000 Miles!

The biggest BS in video games is Neil Cuckman.

The driver in B-Type mode never being able to take that 90 degree turn after the second longest straight in New York without hitting the wall.

Overtaking on that really tight Italian (?) street map.

Forced Co-op/Anti solo player game design in games. Like helldivers 2. Not everyone has a clique of friends to play every game with. Yet any time you bring up valid complaints they just get shouted down by said cliquish assholes brigading and censoring any suggestions to make games more accessible to solo players. The best you can hope for is just some impartial randoms who refuse to communicate but also just want to play the game with no bullshit.

None of them will invite new people to their clique either, so they prove all the condemnation of such bullshit justified because you can't even play the game when you can be booted at any time by some chucklefuck who thinks its funny to do this to as many other players as possible until they get a fist to the face IRL. Only then do they start to learn some god damn civility. Yeah the internet has always been filled with these types, but games didnt let them dictate the experience for "randos" and "outsiders" with access to a kick feature.

As an allegory: MW2 matchmade lobbies and other pre-2010s games didnt have a "boot player from lobby" option outside of private matches so they were forced to leave if they simply didnt like someone and you could still enjoy the game, but modern day games almost entirely take place within private matches and too many retards are more than happy to abuse that privilege.

Nigga you baiting two threads now? You pretend to freak out about the default keybindings and the tutorial in the Helldivers 2 thread and uninstall the game, all stated in a single post. People rate you dumb and call you a NIGGER. You then say that was you being refused in to a clique? At least make it make sense you fucking rookie.

If you're going to make vehicle chase scenes in games hire Forza devs or something so at least the vehicle handling is good.

The quests in Cyberpunk that involve vehicle chases are beyond fucking painful because all vehicles handle like retarded glaciers.

No, your point makes no sense. You say you dislike the game and uninstalled it. Why then do you give a solitary fuck what anyone in the thread for the game says? How are you being excluded? You are literally excluding yourself by proclaiming you have no desire for the game and thinks it sucks (for reasons I think most normal people would call silly, you can change the keybindings in settings you mongoloid), and then you get upset when a couple of people who like the game, in said games thread, say "dumb, nigger, bye".

Imagine being such an unlikeable, Parkinson's sufferer level player, charisma vacuum that you can't even talk your way into a loose collection of vidya enjoyers to play some multiplayer. Do you have no patter? No funny anecdotes? No way to cajole or charm some slightest glimmer of social interaction from people when you already have the leaping off point of common ground between you based on the game you're playing together?

How can you talk about playing MW2 lobbies as far back as fifteen years ago and not have a stable group of online friends to play some multiplayer with? What the fuck are you actually doing?

> Co-op
> no LAN
Why does everything has to pass a server that results in lag and crashes, what waste of bandwidth.

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

> 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.
