What's your biggest pet peeve in gaming

[QUOTE="delta3074"]i can't get Halo, Fable, gears of war,left4dead,left4dead 2 or splinter cell conviction on the Ps3, not to mention the 360 has more WRPG's (my favorite genre) like Risen,Ego draconis and later this year the witcher 2, i also prefer the controller and i like the fact i can install my games completely to the HDD and i can play all my old Xbox games on it, you have your reasons for preffering the PS3, i have my reasons for preffering the 360, truth is including PC/360 games the 360 Has more multiplat games that i actually want to play on it than the Ps3 does, it's as simple as that.delta3074

I'm not taking to task what games you like, but I'm simply continuing from what you said above "if you said 'no exclusive games' then i may be able to see your point." All the games you just mentioned are multiplats. Heil68 was, in a trolling way, stating that the 360 is lacking in exclusives. Which is why I was just curious why someone would purchase a console simply for multiplats.

Intro levels that teach you how to play.

This is how you drive, this is how you look left, this is how you pick up ammo, this is how you run.

They are a necessary part of the game, but I've had some that were so long I stopped playing and never went back to the game.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="delta3074"]because i prefer the controller and it has certain multiplats (PC/360 games) that i really like that are not on the Ps3,also it was cheaper than the ps3 when i got it, did you not get the point dude? it's not rocket science and i thought i explained it quite clearly the first time a round,lolispeakfact

Forced partners with terrible A.I.

a la Resident Evil 5 and Ninja Gaiden 2

The horrible A.I. made missions in Ninja Gaiden 2 impossible. At least give us an option to play alone.

You know, herms would say that you can plug a controller into the pc. Just saying. Again, I'm not taking you to task on your game choice, but this was about exclusives and the 360's, well...lack there of.ispeakfact

I would like the trophy reward system changed. Being a SP offline gamer, I find it irritating the I can't get a plat because I choose not to play online. I would like them to make all trophies offline only. Everyone should be able to get a plat or 2 without needing an internet connection. Have the online trophies be extra special bonus ones. If giving us trophies is a reason to replay the game, then everyone should have the same opportunity to get the highest trophy in the game they bought.

Most FPS nowadays being too short in their campaigns and focusing on online MP over SP. As stated above, I don't game online, so I don't buy these games because a 4-8 hour campaign is a waste of my money.

Just the current trends in shooters for the most part.

I like old school shooters. The ones that flex your Y-axis, have many elements for maneuvering your guy such as rocket jumping, or jump strafing, and have a variety of weapons to make no two encounters the same. There are just so many elements to the gameplay of games like Quake, or UT that keep it so refreshing, and fun, and an absolute blast to learn and master. They required huge amounts of map control, and awareness in order to succeed.

Multiplayer is just so incredibly shallow in a lot of today's shooters where half the guns are machine guns that all feel the same, or shotguns that all feel the same. There aren't large health bars so encounters, in most cases, turn into a "whoever sees who first" wins as it takes just a small handful of bullets to kill someone. There just isn't much thought going on with it, and they're so slow paced that many aspects of combat seen in old games just literally can't be present. I mean just compare two people duking it out in a Quake 3 match in comparison to an encounter in CoD. The differences are astounding.

As it stands the closest we have to quality, old-school shooters today would be Halo, and TF2, but even they don't quite stack up. I just got a beta key for Tribes Ascend though, so I'm going to try that out sometime soon. I really hope it's good.

Whiny ass multiplayer communities who want nothing more than a rehash of previous game. The Halo and Gears communities are a great example of this. Which mostly stems from the fact that up until the most recent games, they both revolved around just 1 gun:

Halo - Battle Rifle
Gears: Gnasher

Kinda defeats the purpose of balance yet you have all these extremely vocal minorities who want to turn Reach into Halo 3 and Gears 3 into Gears 1. Then you have the same exact people b!tching about how Call of Duty is nothing but a rehash year in, year out and a plague on the industry but don't want their precious games to evolve in gameplay. Hypocrites much?

repetitive/drab environments. It is a big reason I cannot get into many games, some of which are praised so much.

Call of Duty.

Anti-casual "hardcore" gamers

Activision

xbla/psn games don't count as "real games" (more here in system wars than anything)

delta3074

They don't count as full games, because they aren't full games.

They are full games, but not full priced games? They simply don't usually have as many features, gameplay elements, or productoin values as full retail games. They can be fun, and some are even long lasting, but most are quite shallow and boil down to timing practice just like most 8-bit games.

Ignore Heil, he's just an idiotic fool who JUST plays exclusives. Everything you say will end up being ignored by him because he can't resist the 'sexiness' of his PC and PS3. Samee thing applies to ispeakfact too. People should just play both exclusives and multiplats. That is why I own both consoles and are the primary gaming tools for me. My gaming rig happens to be some gaming laptop. It feels uncomfortable playing it. In all honesty, it really doesn't matter what you game on for multiplats because you aren't missing out on mods on the PC.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]fanboys, people that trying to seperate "hardcore" and "casual" gamers to make themselves feel superior. different preorder bonuses from different places.free_milk

games that make themselves idiot proof.

But what's the point in purchasing a console just for multiplats that play practically the same as the competition? :(

I hate trial and error game mechanics, and I abhor games that treat me like a child (Zelda). Also games that continue to give me control prompts throughout the entire game (A to climb, etc.) Yea, I learned all this in the first 5 minutes thanks. Tell me one time, that's it. If I forget I can figure it out through experimentation.

The term 'hardcore' and 'casual'

and

Escort missions

Fanboys...that's about it.

Oh, and escort missions. They suck.

Pre-order/tie-in bonuses. I'm fine with actual substantive content (like Back To Karkand, or the bonus character that came with DA:O), but I hate cheap items that make your character excessively powerful right from the get-go (Amalur has a lot of this sort of thing).

I wouldn't call it a "pet peeve," but a lot of games this gen lack the "fun factor" found in last gen games.

I mean, when I played games like GTA IV, FFXIII, Mass Effect 1, Skryim, ect. I never found myself actually having "fun". I think they're great and thoroughly enjoyable games that kept me occupied, but they just left me feeling a little too mellow.

Fanboys are my biggest pet peeve. Normal gamers are my buds.

Moronic gamers that are too dense to realize that they are being taken advantage of, and taking the industry to a dangerous place. I was just on PSN for a minute and noticed something called SEASON PASS for 24.99. This right here, is COMPLETE BULL$**T. At this point, people need to just put their money where their mouth is and NOT BUY THE GAME as long as this continues. "Well if you don't like it don't buy it, dumb@ass!" Call me a dumba$$ you say? Things only escalate from here.

When the game's developer can't trust me to not cramp their style. Every time there's a cut scene or a QTE, it's like getting the controller ripped from my hand because either the dev thinks I'm going to mess up their awesome scene, or they're just too lazy.

I've lost track at how many times something epic and incredible is going on in a game and I wish I could play that...I mean, it is a GAME after all, not a movie.

[QUOTE="delta3074"]360 was cheaper than a gaming rig, i have financial responsibilities so i had to get the next best thing for my gaming needs which was the 360, before you start there is no way i can get a gaming rig, even a hand built one for 200 quid, and it would be stupid of me to put down money to buy a ps3 and completely replace my existing libarary with the same games i have on my 360 minus the ones i like that you can't get on the Ps3 ,playing with a controller i prefer less wouldn't it? also, he said the 360 had no games, i was just correcting him, end of.shreshto

PS3 got a very tiny amount of exclusives more than the 360 last year, and some of them weren't of very high quality anyways.

PC, on the other hand, actually does get exclusives in spades, so at least you're right there. It seems any given week you can find upwards of 5-10 new release exclusives on Steam alone, and Steam doesn't distribute every PC game made.

Guess I'll go with the industry's hard-on for multiplayer. Unless your game rhymes with "Call of Duty", "Starcraft" or "Halo", chances are the MP is going to suck something fierce and will do nothing to help sales/discourage trade-ins. So instead of pissing away millions on that, how about you put it towards some competent writing and/or voice work?
