CONSOLES.

/ChubbyGuy40 has fled!

Online communities that are full of crazies who play the game obsessively, making it hard to remain competitive unless you also devote your life to it.

Not the developer's fault, I suppose, but it ruins the games for sure.

Bad voice acting, terrible controls, and lousy endings( not lousy in a way that the hero didn't prevail but lousy in the fact that said ending left gamers with lots of plot holes:?) come to mind.

there wasn't a translator there. but you know what they were saying. pretend that is how you remember it, in english and not subtitled.

you ever watch a subtitled movie? you know the meaning of the dialogue, but they are speaking with different words and accents. but when you recall it in your memory, don't you remember the language as your own? it's not too much of a stretch to look at games that way, and it just makes it easier to accept what's happening.

Sequels being streamlined and made into visceral rollercoaster rides rather than making you think: Bad Company 2 (dropped the exploration element of the first) Mass Effect 2 (RPG elements simplified to an unnecessary extent) Call of Duty: Black Ops (took the already scripted COD formula way too far)Harkat95

I think Bad Company benefited from dropping exploration. The original's campaign was a boring mess. 2's was just a mediocre mess.

Corridor shooting, invisible walls, shallow exploration with promise of depth(looking at you Fable 2/3 and Oblivion), bad AI, respawning AI(depending of course), Noticeably inconsistent graphics, consolization or dumbing down, bad ports, etc.

Bad ports, not been able to skip cut scene. respawing A.L.

infinitely respawning enemies, and huge difficulty spikes

Giant HUD or crosshairs that you can't disable. Ruins the immersion. Imagine if you were watching a movie and there's a big crosshair in the middle of the screen the entire movie. Wouldn't that piss you off? Well it doesn't really matter if you're only playing the game for fun, but if you want it to be immersive like I do then it's annoying as hell.

He never mentioned COD in his post, what are you trying to prove?

Movies aren't from the first person perspective, nor is the viewer aiming the gun. When watching the on sccreen character do the shooting instead of yourself, you don't need a cross hairs to aim.

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)

Open levels are not necessary characteristics of the 3D platformer genre.

In FPS's when you turn your head you suddenly can't hear the guy beside you anymore. I'ts like only your right ear works and just because you look another way the sound gets lowered.

It depends on the game and genre. In general though I would say the lack of quality. It's hard to explain.
