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.

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

Thrided, this is why I haven't touched Persona 3 yet, I'm too afraid it's going to be 100 hours of fluff :(

@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

That's encouraging :) Still need to beat MGS 2 and 3 before I can play it though :P

I agree with all your sentiments. Annoying indeed.

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.

May I add Capcom and their "make you fight every boss over again for the last quater of the game" bullshit.

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