Feel the Hatred: Not To the Point
ceark | 4:24 PM on 09.03.2008 16 comments


I'm gonna make this to the point. There is only one thing I actually "hate" in games, and that is things that are pointlessly not to the point.

IE:
- Scrolling text with no option of all text at once. I read like a demon on crack don't give me that slow shit and make me read at a kindergartner pace.
- Unskippable cutscenes.
- Shoddy controls trying to be innovative and making a good game take 10 times longer to play.
- Filler shit put in a game to waste time rather then add meaning.

That is all.

blehman's Destructoid Blog
I need me some ark pheremone(sp). Can you help me with that?

That is all.
ceark's Destructoid Blog
yeah I'll bottle some and send it to you blehman.
riomccarthy's Destructoid Blog
Can you send me some of your talent in a bottle as well? Also maybe one of those back-cracking hugs in a box if it's not too much to ask :P
ceark's Destructoid Blog
rio I"m about to just ship myself over to you. you can have all the back cracking hugs you want.

I forgot that one. :D

Agreed.

Thrided, this is why I haven't touched Persona 3 yet, I'm too afraid it's going to be 100 hours of fluff :(
Anus Mcphanus's Destructoid Blog
@Scary Womanizing Pig Mask:

I didn't find much fluff in Persona 3 until just before the very end but it's easily skipable stuff. It's only really there if you want to grind and get all the best gear and the non fluff easily makes up for it though :-)

"Shoddy controls trying to be innovative and making a good game take 10 times longer to play"

Amen to that

@Anus McPhanus
That's encouraging :) Still need to beat MGS 2 and 3 before I can play it though :P
Usedtabe's Destructoid Blog
I agree with all your sentiments. Annoying indeed.
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
If I was Ceark I would put this in my top picks...
F Whipple's Destructoid Blog
tl;dr

Unskippable cutscenes are the bane of my existence. That damn laughing scene in FFX was probably the only time I've been ashamed of being a gamer.
DanMazkin's Destructoid Blog
May I add Capcom and their "make you fight every boss over again for the last quater of the game" bullshit.
DynamicSheep's Destructoid Blog
This is the most elegant C-blog I've ever seen on Destructoid! Good jerb!
bahss's Destructoid Blog
TL:DR
Also, yes.
welkstar's Destructoid Blog
"- Scrolling text with no option of all text at once. I read like a demon on crack don't give me that slow shit and make me read at a kindergartner pace. "

That's at the top of my list. In fact, that's the entire list!
