Noticable Things That Destroy Great Games

What are the things in your favorite games that totally destroy the fun/immersion factor?

IMO,the voice acting in ARMA 2 destoys the SP immersion.

For those who have no idea,take a look (contains profane language)

Games you think are open and your free to explore but they end up being completely linear and small.

Both Super Mario Galaxy games (I have a hard time calling Super Mario Galaxy 2 a 3d platformer)

Kingdom hearts 2(this one isnt really that bad though, its still one of my favorite games of all time for some reason)

Ubisoft's DRM.Crimsader

you mean StarForce? yeah, it's a horror. instead, they could just have the game disc in two pieces. try to crack that, YEAH!

Well, to me it's just a part of the package, seeing as its a milsim with many unscripted events and all. Although I've heard there are mods that fix this.

As for me:

- Progress is pretty much dictated by time spent playing. (Lots of RPGs)

- Stealth sections in games with disfunctional stealth gameplay. (Metro 2033)

- Growing emphasis on multiplayer, transforming many potentially enjoyable FPSs into uninspired shooting galleries. (CoD, maybe Crysis 2)

- Bloody screen indicates damage.

- The ridiculous portrayal of Russians and foreigners in general in just about any war-themed game.

if you're talking about grinding, then, for the love of god, use the word "grinding"!

levelups and unlockables =/= grinding

The elevators in Mass EffectTheOtherTheoG

I preferred it over ME2's loading screens.

[QUOTE="killzonexbox"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] Assassins Creed Battlefiled :?badtaker

but they are all actually different, unlike CoDs, wich has even used the same engine since MW.

arbitrary rubbish end bosses in games that don't need them... like uncharted 2

[QUOTE="badtaker"][QUOTE="killzonexbox"] Not last Battlefield was released in 2009 and they a new cod coming in 2011.. groowagon

but they are all actually different, unlike CoDs, wich has even used the same engine since MW.

Also: fighting mechanical things. It's boring as hell. Valve are excellent at this. They ruined the last 25% of HL2 with bore-inducing fights against turrets and striders. It drove me damn nuts and made me appreciate the game a whole lot less. Then they did it again in Portal.

very different version of it. except for 1943 and BC2.

you can't really call Unreal Engine 2 and 3 the same engine either.

Unskipable cutscenes.

Oh hell yes that needs to die. Seeing a good 7 min scene is great the first couple of times. Don't need it after successive play throughs.

Surprised no one mentioned Fallout games andtheir animations/glitches.

[QUOTE="badtaker"] they all use Frostbite enginebadtaker

but you can't really even tell that when playing them. i just mean that BFs have changed more with every title this far.

sluggish controls (KZ2)

i wantaed to like the game so bad but the controls killed the entire experience.

honestly, haven't played 1943 or the first BC, since they are not on PC. this is just my opinion as a PC gamer.

atleast BC didn't have Destruction 2.0, but other than that, i don't know how different it is from Frostbite 1.5. i'm not really counting Heroes, 1943 and Play4Free to the actual Battlefield series.

Framerate issues.

Battlefield 1942 - 2002

Battlefield Vietnam - 2004

Battlefield 2 - 2005

Battlefield 2142 -2006

Battlefield Bad Company 1: 2008

Battlefield Bad Company 2: 2010

eh, considering BF3 is heavily rumored for 2011 his arguement will probably hold strong. BF3 in 2011 and BC3 in 2012 all we're realy missing are 3 installments in 03, 07, and 09. It's not as bad as CoD because BF is diffrent than BFBC in a lot of ways.but it getting to be an annual thing.

EDIT: well there was battlefiled 1943 in 09. so technically if you're talking the brand name yes the game is an annual thing. especially if BF3 comes out this year and BC3 comes out the next. that'd be 5 years of annual BF games.

A bad camera

Consolisation, when great PC games are consolised. ( AVP3, Invisible War, OFPDR, Rainbow 6, Ghost Recon ect ect... )

But most of all, cheesy voice acting. Its destroyed the enjoyment of games for me, most recently Arcania Gothic 4, i couldn't bring myself to play that game any longer due to the horrendous voice actors.
