Things I NEVER want to see in a game ever again

[Indiglo]

Uh, naked cowboys with erections raping indians tied to poles.

So far so good.

 

[Horrorfan]

Yikes, what the hell kind of game was that?

I don't want another game with practically no plot where you just ride in a straight line for 20 minutes, with absolutely nothing happening in between, to fight a boss that is essentially "climb, stab, climb, stab, climb, stab"...and then repeat the process 18 times.

RIDING, CLIMBING, STABBING? WHAT THE HELL KINDA GAME WOULD THAT BE?

A very crappy, overrated one...especially when literally ALL you do is ride, climb, stab.

SO YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY GAME IN PARTICULAR? BECAUSE I HONESTLY DON'T THINK I'VE EVER PLAYED ONE THAT ONLY INVOLVED RIDING, CLIMBING AND STABBING.

Matt's talking about the super awesome Shadow of the Colossus

OOOOOOHHH.......LOL, I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THAT GAME (SINCE I ONLY PLAYED THE DEMO). YEAH, I REMEMBER THAT THREAD NOW.

Example of Timed Mission going horribly wrong: Ultimate Spider-Man. I would have loved to be there when they discussed that game. "We have a great idea! Lets create a spider-man game that is solely chasing the villains around! People will love it!"

Example of irritating protect missions: Robotech:Battlecry. I love this game...super fun. But man-o-man, the protect missions in this game are horribly difficult and irritating.

Things I never want to see in a game/console: Another 600 dollar price tag.

In all seriousness, time levels. All timed levels are is an excuse to make a game "hard." They're dumb, and dated. Keep them out of games.

Collection missions.

Gather the four Waterdhavian creatures.

Talk with seven inmates.

Collect 100 coins.

I could just go on and on. I really want to kill the developers who think forcing gamers to do the same arduous, repetetive tasks over and over again is a creative way to somehow prolong the minimum playtime in their games. Way to screw us over instead of actually injecting some variety and originality in said titles for once. :

Custer's Revenge. Native Indian girl tied to a pole. Your character Custer with his pants down. Commence banging.

YEP, EVER SINCE 'GOLDENEYE', I'VE "AFFECTIONATELY" CALLED ESCORT MISSIONS "F***ING NATALIA MISSIONS".

 

[Brainiac 8]

^^That's pretty funny.

same here... the minute I found Ashley in RE4 the first thing I said was "goddammit, not Natalia again..."

btw, I'd say this would be very appropriate in this thread...

Crates.

No matter how advanced PCs and Consoles become, there will always be a team of artists that focus on making high rez crates of all various materials.

seriously... could the crates at least, in this new generation of consoles and graphics, be filled with stuff?

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Any 'normal' goons who can take fifty shotgun shells and three assault rifle clips without any ill effect (Black, I'm looking at you).

Amen to this! Perfect Dark Zero is horrible about this, I literally have to use at least one or two clips to kill enemies in that game.

Sort of had some good points, but there are some games with good ai (Halo, I heard F.E.A.R has fantastic ai, the wwe games have some pretty good a.i. on higher difficulty levels) and his spy game was basically splinter cell, where leathal force is a last resort...
