About Me
Oh, homicidal tendencies, where would I be without you?

A gaming enthusiast, (don't you love that word?), with a dabbling in everything. Also, a bit of an ahole, or rather, a large one in fact. But don't mind that, as I have some redeeming qualities, I just haven't figured them out yet. To hit me up I have some contact info here.

WTF is up with...pockets?
Bigby | 6:09 PM on 03.13.2010 26 comments




Why do game developers make pockets but do not allow you to put anything in them? What is in those things anyway? More ammo? A cellphone? A sandwich? Who can say certainly not the developers. So many games have so many mystery pockets its mind boggling. I have more than three pockets so why can't I carry more stuff? Why only two guns and a couple grenades? I can hold at least six grenades, some semtex, three knives, a garotte (something games are sorely missing besides Hitman), a GPS, some marbles, my iPod, a yo-yo (also a garotte in a pinch), and maybe a Hot Pocket if I am feeling peckish.



The real question is why do game developers feel the need to add in modeling and texture for pockets and yet refuse to do anything with them. This also applies to accessories like knives or another pistol that seems to never be used. Or an ammo belt that is in plain sight but never used if you run out of ammo for your weapon. What is the purpose of that? Is it like the belt that Chewbacca wears? ( I am nearly convinced that is a belt of smokes he keeps on hand) Of course there is the reasoning of set dressing but come one now! Give us a break already. This is the next generation of games! Why is there no pocket physics!? I say this is an injustice! Sure Alone in the Dark did something similar to what I am asking for but they did it badly making you have to look through it while still being eaten which is always a bad thing. At least acknowledge the pockets existence! If my quasi military guy is wearing a vest with fifteen compartments and pockets all over it don't give me crap like a three item inventory max.



You are directly lying to me and everyone else that you don't have more space than that. If you aren't going to have more space then don't make a model with more pockets, simple as that. Stop confusing us developers and start giving us more shit to put in our pockets!

I've long argued that the pocket is man's greatest invention. It deserves some severely overdue credit

Refuse to do anything with them? Where, in your average FPS, do you think you're carrying all the random ammo you end up picking up? I doubt the reload animations are just there to show you shaking more of the stuff in your 245-round magazine to the top.

I'm still curious where all these weapons go when they put them away. You can't keep a Rocket Launcer, AK-47, Sniper Rifle, a Cardboard Box, Termal optic goggles and all that on you and just make it disappear and reappear at will. Not only that, but that shit's gotta weigh ya down.

I always assumed the Call of Duty characters pocket's were full of Snickers.
Like, when they are doing their 3rd person idle animation, checking all their pockets, they're thinking "Oh shit, did I drop my Snickers? ...nope, there it is, phew." And they do that shit every 15 seconds, like they have the memory of a goldfish.

"Wait, do I still have my...ah, there they are."

...

"Oh crap, is my... oh, ok."

...

"Ah fuck, please tell me i didn't...nope, still there. Sweet."

Ammo magazines maybe? War is for men who eat Snickers!

Snickers is a good theory, perhaps even Mars bars, Butterfingers, or maybe cakes. Hostess cupcakes or Twinkies. Or beef jerky if you feel some meat craving. Personally I would have corn dogs in there. Or pigs in a blanket. Nom on it while in a trench and shells are going over head.

War?...

"OOOOH YEAAAARRR, YOU GOT PWNED BITCH!" *teabag, teabag* "SUCK IT N00B, YOU FUCKIN' SUCK IT, OONTZ OONTZ!" *pulls out a Snickers*

...War never changes.

Really good points here, the one thing I liked about the later (shittier) Pokémon games was that you could see all the pockets in your bag and what shit was in what pocket.
