>find a key item
>game asks you if you would like to take it
>Yes/No prompt
I've never understood this. Why would anyone say no to picking up an important item? What's the point? Why wouldn't you say Yes everytime? I don't think I've ever seen a situation in a game where saying no to picking up an item is actually a good thing unless your inventory in the game was limited but if your inventory was full, you wouldn't have been given the Yes/No prompt in the first place.
Anything else like this in vidya?
>"Did you get all that?" is asked for exposition dumps
>not for tutorials
Because I really need to know how the triforce was made, but how to use my items isn't as important.

>one is a rope which weighs like 20 pounds
>the game forces you to take key items when you find one after a battle or in a container, so if you don't have any space for it the game softlocks
Pokemon only having one save file.
IS THERE A SINGLE OTHER GAME MADE IN THE LAST 15 YEARS WITH ONLY ONE SAVE FILE
>>318340467
Undertale
>game has no option to sort your inventory alphabetically
I cannot tell you how infuriated this makes me.
>>318339084
Sometimes picking up the important item triggers a cutscene and may lock you out of backtracking.
It's more of a "you ready for what's next, f@m?" prompt.
>>318340659
I'd rather have my inventory sorted by "item type"
>NPC asks you to do something
>keeps asking again until you say yes
What's the point?
it always gives me anxiety cause i feel like maybe there's some downside to taking it
although the only example i can think of that is in chrono trigger, with the chests that you have to check and then open in the future.
>>318340697
There's no reason to still tack the prompt onto minor items then.
Why wouldn't I want to pick up the health drink every single time?
>>318340817
>One Pokemon gen finally gets item sorting right
>Next gen uses a different system that's worse
Are there any games that ask if you want to use an item to make room for a new one instead of having to throw one away?

That was close
>drop item/weapon to get a new one
>immediately pick up the one you dropped by accident
>>318340817
This is good too, but I tend to memorize item names, so I always like to have them alphabetized for that reason. Especially if items happen to have their own separate type-based bags anyway, like in Pokemon.
>>318339084
in shin megami tensi 4 there was this trick where a monster played dead so you could grab a item and he would land a sneak attack on you
>>318340867
I think I can tell what's happening just from the thumbnail, but I have an incredible urge to click it to make sure.
>>318340867

This shit bothers me so much!
It also bothers me that the ps4 doesn't have a select button
>>318343035
>Mashing buttons to try and skip a cutscene.
>Hit share thinking it's select.
I've hit that button more on accident than I have on purpose.
The first Devil May Cry game did this I know it's left over from Resident Evil but your inventory never fills up so there's no need to say no.
>>318343414
>hit on accident to skip
I have done this so much playing until dawn
>>318340838
>game gives you dialogue choices, as if you are allowed to go down a different story path
>NPCs all say you're joking until you select the intended answer
I mean it's not super infuriating or anything, but fuck, why tease me with the potential of an alternate story path or moral choice or even just flavor dialogue and then pull the "HAHA WHAT A JOKER" or "NAH YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT" card?
>>318341232
But dragon's dogma is somewhat justified
every save file has 1 pawn, the server cannot handle a theoretical infinite number of pawns.
if they can limit 1 per copy, it's much more manageable.
>Do you want to do this?
>no
>GAME OVER
>game kills you if stay idle too long

That was actually brilliant of Sonic in the 90s.
Nigga didn't take shit from anyone.

Super Paper Mario had its moments.
>>318340467
This is done on purpose in most Ninty games so you buy more than a copy/can't share your games.
>>318345685
Shows you chained to the throne, without any of your equipment, attempting to stand/move while the villain gloats. Something along the lines of a 4-6 frame animation loop. Nothing fancy.
>>318345851

That aside Nintendo games usually have three at the very least.

That's better than

>HAHA, TRICKED YOU, DIE ANYWAYS
Fuck Dawnguard
>"Should we help defeat the badguy?"
>Yes
>Absolutely
Just why? There's not even an illusion of choice.

Its a joke.
A tired, overused joke.

I know it does this, but fuck when it says deleting save, it makes me nervous

FUCK This happened TWICE to me. First with Bow and then with Sten.
>>318351142
Come to think of it can you even use Shaman Fusions in that required solo section with Sten?
>>318350925
Happen to me with atton in kotor 2. I never played with him after telos. Did nar shadda last and sold all my medium armors and blaster pistols.
>game boasts about player freedom and choices n' shit

Morrowind solved this problem in one of the best ways possible, why the fuck are we going backwards?

>>318351939
>game has a morality system in which you do shitty things and people react to it.

Why even?
>>318352092
>>318352328
Oh so it basically gives you the reins and says "come back when you're ready for the story"
>>318352328
I wish there was a game that did this, but main game actually persisted and the world becomes gradually more and more fucked up.
>>318349081
Sounds like SMT's chaos hero.

>Fighting game
>Move is punishable on hit
>use a key
>it's gone forever
Why? Who just throws a key away after using it?
>>318355368
because it won't fit any other locks u dolt
>>318352721
saying no to it can actually be tactical if you'll get the coin star anyway and the guy behind you is going to even up with stars with you, but in the end have less coins while you pull ahead by winning the coin star bonus
>>318355368
It'll always have that door open so technically it isn't gone forever and its made for one lock anyway unless its some fucked up skeleton key thing from the 40s then I can see why it should be kept
>>318355368
Alternatively, 1 small key takes up a whole item slot.
Must be some heavy keys if Resident Evil characters can't carry much.
>>318356272
>has a whole back pack/weapons case full of weapons some nearly as big as the playable character

at least resident evil 4 got it right with the ammo

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>>318360718
Always thought this was dumb in Resident Evil
I don't know any other games that did this though.
