Biggest bullshit in a video game

Some people just don't understand that 20 "Amazing Chest Ahead" messages in front of Gwynerve is not enough.

My SO laughed out when in Dark Souls (forget which part) she found a message in front of an area looking like a kitchen. The message said "female required". What's not funny about this? People will always find a way to make jokes.

I could've sworn new PS1s came with a memory card...

When consoles ship with finite memory, it'll run out with a few games. Getting a PS2 and PSP then, they had no memory cards included. You had to get them separately. What the hell? The Xbox had a built in hard drive that would last a while.

Especially now that games have downloaded content, patches AND you have to install the game on the console. 500 GB, even 1 TB can only go so far when games are released with 40, 50, 60+ GBs to install.

Modern Warfare will fill up your hard drive alone.

I hate it when quests have suggested minimum levels to them, but they're still outrageously difficult at those minimum levels.

Witcher 3 can be pretty bad with this. The Jenny o' the Woods contract has a suggested level of 10 but it's still ridiculous at that level. The Shrieker contract suggests you should be level 8, but that still feels low when you try and actually do the quest.

A comment on the TLOU2 reminded me one of the worst things in some stealth games - Having an enemy detect you immediately alerts everyone in the whole base, or simply not assassinating the person immediately make everyone hear his death.

I was really have when Ghost of Tsushima actually averted both (though sometimes you'd have the opposite where parts of the base aren't alerted despite you making a lot of noise nearby).

One time I took advantage of that sort of AI. I was playing Far Cry 3 and there was this enemy base below a hill, so I just sniped a guy at the front and started blindly throwing grenades down until I claimed the base and got the stealth bonus.

I love it when you can cause absolute chaos and still get "Well... Technically you weren't detected" sort of bonuses.

My favourite was in MGSV. There's a mission early on where you need to sneak into a small base and disable their radio communications. Well, before the mission if you go there personally and C4 the AA gun the base has, you can load into the mission, request Pequod fly to the base to drop you off, blare Ride of the Valkyries, and use the choppers minigun to take out the radio station. Pequod can't land because he's being fired at, so he eventually just evacs the both of you, and technically the soldiers spotted Pequod, not you. Congrats on your easy Foxhound ranking.

Even better is taking the comms out before that mission, start the mission, ocelot getting info the comms are already dead. "well,... Good job boss" mission success.

The goddamn pachinko machine from Super Mario Sunshine is the single most broken part of the fucking game. At least the watermelon level doesn't make you lose a life if you blow it up.

The Cavador mission in Thief 2. It's easy to render unwinnable if you don't catch the guy in a certain amount of time. Good thing there's a skip level button combo.

An enemy once ran right past me, and I may have been standing up in his line of sight, to get outside and go shoot in Quiet's general direction.
 
I was convinced to play Wolfenstein Young blood by my brother, again, and fuck me if I'm even unhappier about the way this shit turned out. The underlying mechanics are solid, but any enjoyment I get is quickly sucked away by the terrible dialogue, awful story and horrendous interaction between the twins.

Is this what it's like to have a generation gap.
