Escort missions? ugh ok…
Underwater levels? I’ll suck it up.
Long cutscene? I can make myself a sammich and/or go pee.
Underwater escort missions where the escortee dies in the next long-ass cutscene anyway? Fuck you Kojima.
Cities that get progressively better equipment/gear/weapons as you go along. So the city I started off in is the capital of the world, has the mightiest army, but they only sell wooden training swords and pretend guns, but that obscure mountain town full of children, THAT is where I will find the godly gun of nuclear death? Mmmmm hmmmm
This applies mainly to FF games, but why do the characters look so damn pretty? Like, no blemishes or anything? How about a homely-looking main character for a change? And preferably one who doesn’t use a sword as their main weapon? I can name a handful of games that are exceptions to the latter.
QTE.
AI partners who are always dumb as shit. especially if it game over if they die.
Why I can just walk into people’s homes, take their shit, and break things, and they’re still really friendly to me.
Has anyone here played battle toads?
agreed. nothing will surpass video games in the 90s - early 00s that force you to escort shit tier AI. whoever thought escort missions were a step closer to the future of gaming needs to be punish. I can’t believe some of these idiots still think it’s a good idea. fucking escort missions. :bluu: makes it worst since I love mecha games.
your quest to glory always begins the same. going to a wine cellar and killing rats
Inconsistent pixel aspects of ingame artwork
this happens mostly with ‘faux retro’ games that don’t really care but to exploit the retro sucker kid these days.
That said, uncanny sound in said games, and the people that use the aspect to push out generic ‘nostalgia trip’ shit clearly reminiscing the time the author didn’t exist.
Why in the hell is called 8bitboy, if the game looks like a 16bit game?
i never understood in dmc3 dante got stabbed in the wristes with sythes and used it to kill the reapers shot in the head by lady and brushes it off but when vergil stabbed
him in the chest that hurt him wheres the logic in that
yeah, i think it’s handled much better when either the better shops in your city refuse access to you early in the game or the shops just update their items… ff7 handled it well with midgard having cloud and crew in the broke ass slums of the capital city and then having the rich shop inside the tower shut down (because your launching a terrorist attack on the tower, but that’s neither here nor there)
this is explained by the common theme in japanese mythology that the weapon itself does not determine the damage/power of an attack, instead the one wielding it and the strength of their soul determines that shit… stupid as hell
Would you really wanna play as a motherfucker looking like rick ross? think hard about that one then you’ll understand why that question is dumb.
I don’t know the deal about swords though. I guess they’re popular? I’d love to see a main character with a bow or some gangsta shit
Yamato is a pretty beastly sword that it can cut into the fabric of the dimension. Hence why he can do stuff like Dimension Slash. It was also a plot point in dmc4 in opening the demon realm.
But yea there is a huge separation between gameplay and cutscenes, the biggest offender probably being the Xenosaga series.
Yes? I don’t understand your point though, what possible flaw could it have
The sheer pain of the difficulty lol, not to mention starting over becos ur partner messed up
Dante and Vergil were fighting for a pretty long time at that point. Dante was exhausted, his healing factor slowed down as a result and he became a lot more vulnerable to damage. This is the same reason Jester was able to face plant Vergil and Dante at the same time without breaking a sweat.
Dante: Gets stabbed with his own sword, shocked by Trish’s lightning, stabbed by Vergil and still talks smack?
Kos-Mos why are you not uber god tier in my party…
I think she was damn good in all 3 games. In the first one she pretty much had higher stats than the other party members. The second one since she had the air launcher it stuck them up in the air for a while and when they fell back down they then became floored and it was all about building up ether combos for damage in that game, and in the 3rd one she and Momo had Blood Dancer aka you win skill. But yea, why the hell can she not solo mechs in battle on foot?
