Thread: Annoying Things in Games

I find myself with little motivation to further beat the dead horse of this discussion. It's been had many times not on this website, but on the Internet for years, and I no longer find it particularly interesting to discuss. My reply to you was to correct something that, in your own words, simply was not correct. Your words, not mine, said exactly what I was correcting. ...You no longer own the game, such as when you bought a cartridge back in the SNES era, but are buying the rights to lease a game... Click to expand... If you are going to discuss complex matters, then please take care to properly express your ideas. You will only work to misinform those that are lost to the finer points of the topic at hand. Back on topic I cannot stand texture pop in. More and more it just bugs me to see it.

Mitsu said Thaedael said This is further compounded by approaches in how games are being protected. You no longer own the game, such as when you bought a cartridge back in the SNES era, but are buying the rights to lease a game that can, in most legal text, be changed in a way that you have no say in, since, after all, you are buying the right to play the game and not own it. Click to expand... You've never owned the games you buy. Just because you bought Super Metroid back in the day, it never meant that you actually owned Super Metroid. All you ever did was buy the right to play it, like one has only ever bought the right to watch Flubber on VHS from the comfort of their homes. Click to expand... to poke a dead horse, so fare there is no legal right as few cases have been won for either side, in america the precedent is you are renting it, in Europe on the other hand cases have been won to show you own the media you buy

I find myself worried by the growth of microtransactions in games, especially when this business model comes over from mobile games to more mainstream platforms. It's excessively infuriating to see a 'free to play game' pop up, when that really means 'free to download but you'll have to start venting money in if you want to get past level five, because we're just going to keep flinging shit at you.' The most common offense is the game epecting you to pay up if you want to skip absurd loading times. Bonus points on the shit richter scale if the game is wearing the skin of a classic beloved franchise see Dungeon Keeper and Rollercoaster Tycoon mobile. It's worrying because I think younger and newer generations of gamers are coming into the fold while this model of business is growing in popularity. To them, paying thirty real dollars for extra lives or whatever, this will seem normal. If a cash cow like say Call of Duty adopts this model of business... well that's probably going to be the end of good gaming, because once they start making truckloads of money from that then every other publisher will try and follow the leader.
Thread: Annoying Things in Games

Well completely removing his posts was a little over-dramatic... Anyway, I have one that I can't believe hasn't been stated yet! It annoys me how female characters absolutely MUST be over-sexualized. I get it sex sells and all of that jazz, and there are some characters that are designed that way because that's just their character. There are some characters, however, that the sexualization doesn't fit. These characters are made the way that they are for the sole reason of 'sex sells' despite their personas being that of a woman whom you would never expect to see wearing the kind of outfits that they are wearing. Don't get me wrong, I love my ladies, but I'm sorry. I just don't see Xing Cai Dynasty Warriors, for example, wear what she is wearing in those games. If she bent over and wasn't wearing panties, you'd see EVERYTHING. She's supposed to be a strong and serious warrior woman. It ruins the illusion.

When PC games that should have good controller support don't. Why can't I play Mass Effect with a 360 controller, without jumping through hoops to make it work? The game WAS released on 360 and PS3. It isn't even like the PC version is in any way superior unless you count KBM, so it isn't like it was the definitive version or anything.

When the RNG in a game is incredibly unforgiving sometimes I just cannot believe the percentages the game tells me. I cannot tell you how many times I've been left dumbfounded and angry at the outcome of encounters that SHOULD be in my favor. Nothing like missing a string of seventy, eighty, and ninety percent chance shots in XCOM, or getting hit by a three percent crit in Fire Emblem, after my eighty-something percent chance to hit attack misses.

Mmmm... Delicious RNG... NOT! It's not meant for a lot of games, and a lot of games that do use it, are awful with their actual critical chances. It's like... When you play pen and paper DD, you don't roll 20 every damn time, do you? It happens maybe twice in a row at most, I've never seen anyone roll 3 20s in one go.

I dislike umonitored servers for games or ones that host local servers. I go back to Dark Souls for this one. Why is this bad? Well imagine you are level 15 and you get invaded by a level 1. Not so bad right? Just a couple of swings with your broadsword and that level 1 human player is toast right? Wrong. That level 1 has modded stats that one cannot have at level 1, it has endgame gear too! Oh and lets not forget the bane of existence infinite health, stamina, and divine blessing imagine a potion that gives you full health and cures all ailments. In short I hate cheaters, I've dealt and killed quite a few in my career, but they keep coming. It just goes to show how evil some people can be without tools to hold them back hackers in Dark Souls were not punished. I would rather prefer a company controlled or monitored server to prevent these things from happening. Granted, I might be a little salty since a trio of hackers decided to torment a server I was on.
Thread: Annoying Things in Games

I have to add one point. Kids in multiplayer. I can't stand the usual kid crying in the mic due to him getting beaten up or his losing the game. Also, ragers yelling HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKS when you play against them entirely ruins the fun part of the game for both.

Thread: You Have To Learn To Be Grateful. (Alexandria94 & IllusionFish)

Acen's mother always told her to never use get gift in public. She was always told that it was frowned upon and that if anyone were to see her then things would end up badly. Of course she thought she would be perfectly safe because kidnappings never happened to those who were kind and caring, but she soon came to find that she was very wrong. The morning of the auction, she had been sitting in the park, just enjoying her time and minding her own business. Early morning was her favorite because it was when she could feel the dew and moisture all around her. She loved it, loved the way it made her skin tingle and dance. Thinking she was alone because she could hear no one she used what her mother called her 'gift'. With the flick of her wrist she was able to move the little water droplets up only a few inches, enough to catch the sunlight. That was when she had heard them. Quickly she had looked up but they were already half way to her when she had started to run. The slick water on her shoes had managed to make running more difficult and she could feel the men getting closer. She feared they wanted to kill her and accuse her of witch craft, which was prohibited where she lived. Just as she had almost reached safety she was caught from behind and everything went out. As Acen woke up the first thing she noticed was her mild headache and flashbacks of the sweet smell before she had went unconscious returned. The second thing she noticed was that she was the only one in a room that she was wearing a short blue lace dress that showed more cleavage and leg than she would have liked, on her feet she adorned little white slippers. She wanted to know what was going on but before she could explore someone came in, grabbed her arm and pulled her up onto a bright stage. She was so frightened that she felt the blood rush from her face as her heartbeat started to pick up behind her ears.

AND THIS LOVELY YOUNG THING IS A NEW ACQUISITION FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION! the auctioneer cried to the crowd as the bidding started. On stage, a girl in a blue dress that showed off her cleavage and long legs was dragged up to the podium. The bidding started high, as it did with the majority of 'location unknown' girls. Due to their foreignness, they sold for quite a bit. The auctioneer was rattling off numbers as fast as the patrons could raise their paddles. 1,000..1,200..1,250..Is that a 2,000 I hear? ...2,500... it went on and on. Prince Fredrick was sitting at the bar, enjoying a drink when he heard the price go above 3000. He turned to look at the girl on auction and after some hesitation, loudly declared 5000. Everyone turned to look. Of course, none recognised their prince, dressed as he was, but he did have money, and lots of it. They respected that. In the shocked silence, the auctioneer counted to three before awarding the female elf to the gentlemen in the grey coat. Fred didn't know what made him buy the girl. Maybe it was his inebriation, maybe it was his desire to beat competitors for a prize, but deep down, he knew why. Because, with her smooth red hair, tumbling like a lava flow down her back, and her delicate ears, and her face that looked like it was chiseled by a master stonemason, she was beautiful, and he wanted her. He wanted her to be there for him when he had a bad day, and to simply take his worries away. He would be good to her, but he would also be firm, raising her to be his and his alone. Laying a banknote on the bar, and a hastily signed check with the auctioneer, he simply walked out of the auction house, guiding his rather attractive purchase out onto the street

Acen could feel her pulse going so fast that it amazed her she could even see clearly. All of these men looking at her with the most disturbing of smiles and she knew their intentions, none of them were good and she knew it. As she stood there on very unstable legs she listened to what numbers she could hear over the sound of her own blood rushing behind her ears. She hated the lights because they took out any chance of seeing any of the people. While she thought it was never going to end, as soon as she was put onto the stage it seemed she was also being taken off of it. They lead her in certain hallways that she was certain were different than the ones she had first gotten here in, though it wouldn't matter because she couldn't remember any of that. She tried to fight, the only thing it got her was numerous bruises on both her wrists and an injection of something that made her feel very heavy, probably so she wouldn't fight who ever had bought her. She was handed from person to person until she was handed to the arms of a very handsome man. All Acen could do was look at him because she knew this was who she was leaving with and as much as she wanted to fight against him, the serum prevented her from doing so. Her legs didn't really want to work and everything started to get blurry, forcing her to lean against this stranger that she wasn't to run from. It scared her, but she couldn't do anything about anything until what she was feeling wore off.

As the..no..his, elf supported herself on his shoulder, he walked through a few lit backstreets, wanting to avoid many people. So he said conversationally. Let's start with the basics. Who are you? Where are you from? Tell me a bit about yourself he said seeming friendly. He hoped this red haired beauty didn't object to his niceness. He wanted to be civil with her, at least when they were outside. Eventually, after a short walk, they got to the back door of a small house he owned in the city, for whenever he didn't want to travel all the way back to his castle. He opened the door for her, prompting her inside before closing it again. Can I get you anything? Tea, coffee, water. Maybe something with a bit of kick? Beer perhaps? he offered, heading straight to the modest kitchen. The room they had arrived in was rather spacious, but didn't have a lot of furniture. A large fireplace dominated most of the wall to the left of the entrance, and a lush intricately woven rug rested on the hardwood floor next to a couch of rich brown leather, and two mahogany armchairs that were upholstered in varying shades of green, brown and grey, as if they were trying to blend into a forest. Fredrick had hastily lit a lamp on his way to the kitchen, so the room was bathed in a soft yellow light.

EDIT Sorry for the waste of a thread, I need to be more observent. Did about ten to thirty minutes of research and when i actually read the details they DID post the name. Aika Zero. Veeeerry interesting series, this looks like the second or third itteratrion on the same universe. Now to find where I can throw my money at it for a reasonable price! WOW not a lot of anime threads here. Anyway I was watching an AMV and I saw this clip from an anime and no one on the comment section could tell anyone what it was so... I was wondering if anyone here could tell me if they've seen this one? I have totally got to find it! found something about 'Long Live Ecchi' but that really didn't give much results at all.

Hm... This certainly looks like it might be worth giving a shot. This might be DnD's last chance at redemption following the past two terrible renditions of the game and I'm happy to give the company that brought me into the role playing world one final chance to prove that they've still got it. Most of my friends have moved onto Pathfinder, myself included, but it should not be hard to convince them to give DnD one last shot. We've all got such fond memories because of them.
Thread: Dungeons & Dragons

Having played around with some of the tester stuff they put out, I'm rather excited. Although I'll probably stay out of investing in the books until they get around to adapting Eberron to the new system. But it looks like they tried to fix the whole falls off the RNG problem that 3.x had. I'd suggest at least looking into it for anyone who played and managed to enjoy DD in its myriad of forms.
Thread: Dungeons & Dragons

Unfortunately, the RNG is the god of the tabletop role playing world. It's why I prefer D6 systems like Shadowrun or Iron Kingdoms. The RNG is slightly less harsh.
Thread: Dungeons & Dragons

If what they've said is true, even partially, you should be able to easily convert any Eberron materials you might already have for this edition. I know I came to DD fairly early in the 3.5 era and left before it was over. PF was more welcoming when I returned then 4th but I grew tired of the tedium of character creation, even if I love it, and so wandered off into the independent production of DD clones due to the OGL. There's some really interesting stuff coming out of the OSR and it's general Do It Yourself DD attitude often makes things relatively compatible. I know I've considered grabbing the AdvantageDisadvantage system for my own game. Fuck, I love the creative cannibalism you can do with DD.
Thread: Dungeons & Dragons

oh there's some wonderful stuff you can do to try to transfer it over, but I am pretty sure WOTC is going to attempt to convert Eberron, and I'd rather not go through the firestorm that is houserules even if it is just attempted conversion. I had a hard enough time getting a group to accept some 3.0 stuff that didn't get straight updated to 3.5 technically still legal but... yeesh some people. And it was one feat, for fluff reasons D So I think I'll just wait for WOTC to do the work for me, and see if it needs tweaking from there. And then it'll be easier to get a group to accept it maybe.
Thread: Dungeons & Dragons

I can understand that. All the crunch in 3.x makes house ruling things a little more challenging. It makes me happier to use a simpler system based upon the old BasicExpert box sets.
Thread: Dungeons & Dragons

I'm personally looking forward to seeing what DD Next will be like. I've playtested it once but as I recall, it's changed a lot since then so it'll be like replaying an all new system to me I guess. However, it still looks a lot like 3.5 so maybe I don't have much to worry about after-all. That said, I'm still a fan of the 4E system.
