Things you hate in video games
>Having permanently breakable unique items
I always save them for "when I really need them" then they get outclassed by common weapons eventually so I never use one the entire game
And overly complex crafting systems.. I can get into making some crazy end game item with awesome abilities, but if I have to grind across 10 shops just to get items for a basic armor set you can fuck off
>>342477186
similar to your thing, limited supply items like elixirs in JRPGs. i almost never fucking use them.
>>342477186
weebtrash of any kind, generally speaking
Thief 1&2 got it right. Any item you haven't used by the end of a mission is lost. You can't carry it over to the next one. Powerful items are still rare, so you have to be smart about when to use them, but you're discouraged from never using them at all.
>>342477186
playing dragons dogma, have a shit load of cash, and fuck all to buy with it.
literally everything in the shops is god awful, whats the point in giving me so much currency
>>342477186
>Zone has enemies that always give you posioned status
>No enemies drop antidotes, no spell or ability to remove poison and you there are no antidotes for sale
>>342477186
Third person games that prioritize pseudo realistic animations over responsive gameplay
>action game with AI controlled party members
I hate having to babysit shitty AI companions when I'm busy fighting enemies at the same time. Party systems are fine in turn based games where the player retains complete control over characters however.
>Pretentiousness in games
If there is something i hate in vidya is when the game practicly yells at you "THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN WITH THIS PICTURE" (i.e: Every Atlus game ever). And this also applies to tutorials, the tutorial should be integrated with the gameplay, not "make an entire section strictly for tutorial"

>>342479301
On a similar note, visible gear games where the only cool looking stuff is endgame, meaning you spend the first 3/4's looking like a generic NPC
>>342481906
I don't mind in stuff like NieR where they can't die and help draw aggro
>>342482625
You mean

>but if I have to grind across 10 shops just to get items for a basic armor set you can fuck off
This shit. This fucking shit right here is what annoys the fuck out of me in MMOs so much I often give up on crafting fairly quickly.
is it so hard to just make a NPC Provisioner instead of 5 of them
Crafting of any kind in a game drives me up the wall. Unless the goal of the game is to obtain resources and use them like Rust or The Culling, forcing the player to just go everywhere to look for a piece of iron they're missing just to craft a sword or something is just a way for the dev to make the game seem longer.
I know Bethesda games like Fallout and Skyrim have crafting and I can honestly play through an entire game without crafting a single item.
>>342481454
Yeah what the hell is that shit about? Why would you do that?

>>342481454git gud

Instantly thought about the Witcher series.
>When developers have no idea how to balance a game and make stupid choices that end up making one particular strategy ridiculously unbalanced
That's the shit that really gets me. Incompetent balance staff.
See: every multiplayer videogame ever.

Fucking RNG
Game where you can level up HP and defense. Its the same godamn thing in the end.
>>342483506
>Lose because you suck
>Go cry about balance
Every time.
>>342483912
but then you have shit like poison that ignores defense
>>342483383
You should play Soul Hackers
it's basically Status Effects: the Game
>>342483912
No it isn't. Spells usually don't care about defense.
>>342483524
Shit like 1% to instant kill is kinda cool until you realize that it's only on the shittiest weapons ever.
You wanna know the quickest way to make me hate a game and never touch it again? Pull that shit where you start the game with all your normal abilities and stuff, then 15 minutes it just yanks everything out of your hands and you gotta Banjo-Kazooie all your normal powers back over the course of the game.
Okay, fuck you too devs. It's not like I was broken powerful or anything, now I get to be completely gimped for 5-10 hours.In before "gitgud", but I just hate it, it ruins a game for me personally. I know some people dig that shit but that really rains on my parade harder than anything but shit like freemium or being buggy to the point of being unplayable.
>>342482593
nice story, dogfag
>>342482930
its like im reading those motivational posts on facebook that women keep posting.
>>342484068
That's usually such a tiny fraction of the game that I can't really care but I understand where you're coming from, having something, losing it then having to get it all back feels worse than getting it all naturally.
At the same time it gives you something to look forward to.

Back when gameplay was more important in game it was as a good way of opening for long and slow burning games like castlevania.

>>342483162
Play Darksouls
>>342484385
Yeah, I can understand that. I just grew up mostly on platformers and FPS's, so it kind of blindsided me when I tried Metroid Prime it and it did this. Keep in mind, I was a teenager and my only experience with Metroid was that I had tried Metroid 2 on GB for about 5 minutes at somebody's house once.
To me it was like if I picked up a 2D Mario game, and then after the first level it halved your jump height and removed your run button, and the best powerup you could get was a super mushroom. I get the appeal, but I just don't like it myself. Doesn't help that I really, really didn't like RPG's at the time.
>>342484697
Not really, Facebook is fake as fuck, people hide 95% of what's actually going on in their life and either update with the "good" for "look at how awesome I am" points" or the "bad" for "pls show me sympathy" points. It's just another game, not a window into the actual life and thoughts of a person. It's a bastardization of real life interactions.
>>342479007
I prefer the way hitman prior to absolution handled items personally.

Technically you're all right but I was thinking of Path of Exile.
The game where every piece of gear except for some uniques have placeholder tech demo tier models, and then they have a store with bullshit priced flamboyant flaming dildo armor that some actual effort went into.

That is the very opposite of the right way.

Still the hardest, longest, under most pressure i've ever been in in a video game. Fuck you Encablossa
Weapon degradation, it doesn't add anything except tedium and annoyance.
Especially egregious in Fire Emblem when legendary weapons are less durable than a fucking iron sword.

EDF 4.1, goddamnit if they decide to make another game have a "hold button to gather nearby items to you" function or at least a sprint option so you arent tryign to roll around the place.

Why do developers do this shit? Is it because they want a perfect walking animation or some crap? Fuck that, streamline your god damn games you lazy niggers.
>Games gives you OP items on new game plus
Thanks for making new game plus, a feature I usually love, fucking useless.
Yes, I get that I could just NOT use the items, but then I feel like a dickhead who isn't using all the advantages I can to do well. Shits sucks.

I'm fine with crafting but I fucking hate it when it's too complicated
>sword A needs 10 metal to make
>sword B needs 3 pieces of hilt which requires you to collect 50 pieces of leathe and metal and whatever else just to make one piece, to make the blade you need to collect rare shit that only has a 1% chance of spawning, even after that when combining the pieces it takes 20 minutes of watching your character hammer nothing and a bar slowly fill up

>>342483416
Nah, that can't be right. They gave you a shit ton of stuff to clear poison with. I think the spell for it in Dark Souls was IN Blighttown, though. They had an NPC that sold the item, but I think that might've been patched into her inventory?
>>342493240
Something like that.

A long time ago I stopped selling shit in rpgs that isnt blatant marked vendor trash. I've been burned too many times.
Know what I hate? Pic related. Reminder that there are a plethora of pokemon in pic related that have 1% or 2% encounter rates, in one patch of grass in the game, while this piece of fucking shit bird gets nearly the entire map
>>342483383
>>342483623
That's not necessarily true, at least for a few bosses
I can't remember which FF, but you could insta-kill a boss with petrify, you can revive ones with zombie status
Unless you mean statistic debuffs, and even then that applies to some, usually, just not all
