I hate niggers

Morality choices where the good choice is retarded but somehow the good choice. 
This is kinda why I liked rogue traders system.  The choices aren't evil or good,  just in line with a type of thinking.

>>275966 (OP) 
When souls bosses clearly have tracking but it’s never mentioned officially or stated in-game, miyazaki pretends that me dying so many times when the boss is 1hp is just too many coincidences. Even though I never find souls games hard, I just dislike being made fun of.
When Elden Slop added so many aoe attacks because of summons and co-op that cheapened the experience for single players, but miyazaki thinks that since it makes the fight harder now you should just eat it up and shut your mouth, that’s what souls games were all about right? It’s like they’ve forgotten what made their games unique and became what their haters accuse them of.

>>275970
Every boss in every miyazaki-led game is the same thing. Just roll out of the attack and then hit the enemy then roll away again. Repeat until the boss is dead.

>>275971
>game loop is bad because it’s a souls game
nearly 90% of all games are the same. Ironically when kojimbo made a game with the most diverse playstyles (mgsv) everyone shat on it because they refused to play in any other way so naturally found it repetitive since the game never forces you do anything. That’s what consoomers want not miyazaki’s fault.

>>275974
That's not true. If you're a melee player in a souls game you're doing the same shit at the end of a game that you were doing at the beginning, the only difference is enemies hit harder and have more health.

>>275975
You've simplified your description of the gameplay so much that you're effectively describing 90% of games.

>press X to skip cutscene

MOTHERFUCKER DID I NOT JUST PRESS THE SKIP BUTTON?

I don't like games with a character creation screen and self-insert MC with no personality. I would rather play as a completely fictional character who is well written than a lifeless doll that looks like me.

>>275986
Also this. 
All games (especially modern ones) should have an option to skip all cutscenes, preferably automatically.

>When the game gives you"choices" that at the end don't matter at all.

>There's a customization option but all the customization elements are DLC

Game devs not being consistent or sure if they want actions to occur on the press of a button or the release. If I'm not using a mouse then everything should happen when the button is pressed DOWN because that's when I communicate to the game I want something to happen.

This often comes up when an attack has a charged version that can be done by holding down and releasing the button. It'd be simple enough to script things to "line up" if you press and release a button within a small window at the start and then go into the charged version if the button remains held, but most times I've encountered this problem the attack is programmed to occur on release no matter what you do; the amount of time you spend pressing down is just a manual timer to tell the game which attack you wanted.

The game Furi from 2016 was the first time I noticed this issue, because you can charge your dash teleport. Tapping for an instant short ranged version and charging while stationary to teleport a longer distance was a big sticking point that kept getting me killed long after I'd figured out bosses' patterns. Apparently I'd developed a habit of pressing buttons just a bit too long and that was the only game I'd ever played that told me I was doing it wrong.

What gets to me is missable side content/stories/quests that you also don't know when they appeared/will disappear.

>Press Start

>>276021
Dude, I loved Star Ocean 2, but I had to look up shit about all the potentially missable interactions you could have that just had zero deliberation on where they occured. I loved it a lot, but I would never play it again, I will let that be nostalgia for the rest of my miserable life.
Even Trails in the Sky burned me when it turned out I missed a fucking quest because I dared to act with urgency during a main questline where shit was escalating, thus not revisiting that gay ass quest board and missing out on a precious stepping stone to 100% completion. For that, they can suck on both of my balls.

I hate DEI shit in my games. Not even because I'm racist. It's just fucken ruins everything. I'll never play an Assassin's Creed game in Africa, not because I hate niggers, but because DEI shit will never let us have that game.

All it takes is a characters skin color to be off and the game is instant shit

>>276057
That is a valid complaint.
While i am not denying my racism, 99.9% niggers get shoven in places and setting they don't belong to, for no reason other than propaganda.
And that ruins the experience, even if the rest of the game isn't complete shit.

It might be stupid but I hate invisible walls and when progress is blocked by small small things that look like you could easily walk around or over. I mean I know that's how games are but can't you just put a bigger thing in my way do it doesn't ruin the suspension of disbelief

I'm not talking about factorio. I might actually pay for it once I get into that shit

>>276068
yeah games should have places where the invisible walls are completely broken so you can travel off map 

its fun too if the devs leave some easter eggs in the off the trail areas 

it also unintentionally gives a social aspect like the explorer type players that like to check ever nook and cranny will share the hidden spots with other people

>>276069
Factorio's DLC mainly consists of a feature they sold as being intended for 1.0: space travel via space platforms. Then they just cut the roadmap short, more than doubled the price over time, and slapped another full price tag on the DLC. 
So to actually get what I was promised when I bought the game in 2016, I have to dish out another $35, and to actually get the full game as a new customer it's $70. That's a "AAAA" price for a game that doesn't do "AAAA" sales and price drops over time.
Fuck Wube, don't give them a single cent.

>>276072
My disappointment with Factorio goes beyond that.  The devs actually had in their original plans a) a robust campaign with actual hand-designed levels instead of a map generator for everything and b) a new innovative kind of RTS for multiplayer where you command factory-made robots from a remote command center.  Factorio is the final word to me on the abject failure of the Minecraft development model.  Also you get is complacent devs spending all their time tweaking mechanics to please autistic faggots who just want to play with Legos and they become too lazy/afraid to do some actual fucking game design.

Luckily Mindustry managed to become the game Factorio failed to be.  And as libre software without an outrageous price tag attached to it, no less.

There's a similar problem in Cyberpunk that pissed me off. I'm the original version dashing was done by double tapping a direction, which everyone hated. They changed it in an update have it's own dedicated key, as well as changing a bunch of other inputs, some of which are hold inputs. The problem is that if you hold the dash button, nothing happens because nothing is bound to that, you need to be extremely careful to only quickly tap the button. It feels like shit and drove me crazy, but I couldn't find many people talking about it online for some reason.

for me its when you can't change settings before starting the game. like say i want to change those way too high default graphics settings. usually you have to let the intros lag through and sometimes you even have to play the game a bit to get access to all these important settings

>>275996
>Game devs not being consistent or sure if they want actions to occur on the press of a button or the release.
This also reminds me of Half-Life. Some switches and valves are activated by simply clicking on them, but later in the game there's one lever that must be clicked and held to open a door. Thinking it was a bug, I got stuck since I only clicked the lever. I'll admit that part of it was my own retardation but it sucks when the game conditions and misleads the player and then changes the rules at whim.

>>276057
I feel you. This shit pisses me off but i notice that if it's not obnoxious and preachy and the game is fun, i don't really care that much because I'm just having fun playing a game. It becomes much more unbearable if the game isn't good enough to distract me from the devs being fags that MUST shove their idpol into the game so people know they're virtuous and moral in line with current thing.

It is always obnoxious, no matter what.
It's like those spineless faggots that argue "I don't hate diversity, only FORCED diversity!" except the mere concept of divershitty implies shoving niggers (mostly, but also faggots) where they don't belong for no reason other than "just because" which it is indeed forcing things.
They can only be more or less subtle about it, but there's no such thing as 'not forced' divershitty, as divershitty is an agenda meant to be forced down people's throat.

Easy/Medium/Hard in strategy games being just a resource/damage/whatever multiplier for the AI.
I understand that designing a good AI is hard, but I'd rather have no difficulty setting than that lazy garbage (or set relevant settings to "1" if possible).

There's also a game that added an "improved" AI at some point which would send different units based on what appeared to be the most challenging to you. It kinda worked, with a caveat: it also accounted for time needed to win/lose. So even though I'd win every single battle, they would become longer and more tedious instead of actually challenging.

>>276148
>Some switches and valves are activated by simply clicking on them, but later in the game there's one lever that must be clicked and held to open a door
I replayed HL1 within the last couple years and I'm positive there are several times in the first few hours where you need to hold down a button or lever to solve some environmental puzzle.

>>276144
>like say i want to change those way too high default graphics settings. usually you have to let the intros lag through and sometimes you even have to play the game a bit to get access to all these important settings
This exact thing happened to me when I tried Vermintide 2. It's just baffling how a developer can go to the trouble of creating a game with that level of detail on every item, then force me into a non-replayable tutorial while I'm stuck at 10FPS.

Games can't contain themselves to a single directory anymore but have to spread themselves across half the filesystem. The directory structure is ten folders deep, and when you find the file you want to copy or edit it's locked away with proprietary packaging.
and now games are 160gb for varying shades of 4k brown textures, but you'll never see it because you're running DLSS anyway. Also you need a 500 watt video card but the gameplay is indistinguishable from anything released in the past 20 years. Physics are worse, interactions are worse, everything is dumbed down and gameplay is "streamlined" so much it's just one long quicktime event.

like I dont mind galaxy api (it brings bugs I mind it) but why rip out lan? all other releases on epic and steam still have it. do the poles hate lan parties that much? this happened to many games. one I can think top of my head is the dawn of war games.

I love the idea of buying some games from GOG instead of Steam, but it's impossible for me when they refuse to stop fucking with the directory structure and adding their hideous bubble around the shortcut icons.

Just look at this horseshit. Here's what's bundled in with your average Windows game installation:
EULA.txt
unins000.dat
unins000.msg
unins000.ini
Launch (game).lnk
unins000.exe
goggame-(gameid).info
goggame-(gameid).hashdb
webcache.zip
goggame-(gameid).ico
support.ico
gog.ico
and you can bet there'll be a spyware "galaxy(64).dll" thrown in there somewhere.

Their Linux games are even worse:
.mojosetup/
uninstall-(game).sh
support/
start.sh
gameinfo
docs/
and then tucked away in "game/" (the actual game directory):
launch.sh
goggame-(gameid).info
goggame-(gameid).hashdb

Don't even get me started on their DOS games.

This is just a personal weirdness of mine, but I always bind the "Jump" key to Mouse 2. There's so many games with weird miscellaneous little HUD interactions and controls that won't take anything but WASD+Space for an answer. It's fortunately fixable through the config/console, but Doom 4 and Doom Eternal are two of those games. They have some kind of bizarre wanna-be avant-garde bullshit where you have to hit the "Space" key to actually load the level once the loading screen is done. It HAS to be the Space key.
That's on the right side of my split keyboard! I would've had to take my hand off the mouse every single time and be defenseless for two seconds while I'm unable to change the direction I'm looking. I seriously don't know what it's supposed to add to the game that you've got to prompt it to continue every time you get killed.

Just use AutoHotKey, it also allows you to do funky rebinds such as using extra mouse buttons on old games that straight up don't recognize them.

See here's the same issue I'm running into: I'm pretty left-leaning, even a little bit of a prog myself. This woke shit is absolutely destroying my movement. It's the direct cause of every single ill that's befallen every political party remotely resembling left-wing, every workers rights movement, every consumer rights effort, every single corporation on Planet earth has been infested with the idea that bending the knee to political lip-service will someday lead everyone to the progressive promised land. It's obnoxious and borderline fascist to demand everyone think like you on every single issue and is exactly why the world is swinging hard-right every single election. 

No one seems to care, though. They'll ruin all of the bread and circuses with shallow political grandstanding that should be used as an arena to showcase the different ways of thinking the world could have and then beat everyone else on the superiority of your own. By making everything into preachy shit, it's given everyone every reason in the world to hate me and everything I stand for just for being in proximity of the toxic waste that is the progressive movement.

>>277658

>>277665

Because I don't agree that "Woke" is the end instead of the means. A corporate one-world government wouldn't be possible if not done for the express purpose of letting modern-day witchhunters destroy everyone's entertainment and happiness for their own petty ego. It would never go through if they just came out and said that they want Corporations to have the power of governments and for Governments to be the violence arm of corporate power. They only accomplish that by painting everyone who opposes it as being a chud who deserves everything bad happening to them.

What kind of split keyboard doesn't have a spacebar on both sides?

I don't play any games that are free BUT closed-source. If there's no monetisation model whatsoever, then the only reasons I could possibly imagine for the game to be closed-source are all nefarious. Weirdly enough there's a few roguelikes which fit this description, and Dwarf Fortress used to as well.

>>277690
I've used two before, the unchanged layouts on both had the four bigger thumb keys be "Backspace", "Delete", "Enter" and "Space" respectively.

>>277718
Was Cave Story nefarious before it received an open source engine? Yume Nikki? What about doujin games which never got one like Cho Ren Sha 68k?

>>277721
I guess I might have exaggerated a bit. I did play those ones, but not without feeling pretty weary about it. If nothing else I did find it pretty nonsensical. Doukutsu Monogatari and Yume Nikki were both EVENTUALLY monetised, but I can hardly think that they were both demos for paid releases which would only be released a decade later. Nowadays I play those kinds of games less out of suspicion, but I guess I should acknowledge that some game devs are just clueless about that kind of thing, want to maintain some weird sense of mystique, or just can't be arsed to upload whole RPG maker project zips (even though the embedded Ruby plugins could be hiding so many nasties).

Since i am playing Mario&Luigi: Brothership here's something annoying.

most of the people on the left are like sheep desperately trying to stay in the middle of the herd while wolves circle the edges.
The "wolf" in this case is the horrible economic situation, homelessness and death that is the end result for most people who are fundamentally economically useless. Social death is death for them, so they do whatever is necessary to maintain their status. The controlled "right" favors independence but isn't much better and they usually aren't independent anyway because not one of them ever tries to shorten their logistics chain.

The way to get out of the trap is to become a race realist and National Socialist. Read Mein Kampf. Then realize the only way out is to gas the kikes but for real this time.

I hate when only the beginning of an game is clunky and awkward to get through. It's like a pitiful attempt to get reviewers to say "dude this game's so hard" only for it to actually be piss easier the more you go through it. The game could be the greatest thing you've ever played, but just that beginning makes you never wanna play it again.
>>278050
That game not having you press B for Luigi in fights is also a massive fucking pet peeve.

>>276057
expanding on this, the fundamental problem is that you are not allowed to have characters talk about things the way that real people in their societal context would talk about things. everyone has to talk like a 2010s american college student unless they're a mustache-twirling villain, and even the writer of the villain is suspect if said villain gets too far away from our familiar set of taboos.

all of this is correct. national socialism does not even attempt to address this problem, and when it did attempt to address its own problem of "economically useless" people its solution was to kill them (aktion t4).
this is not viable in a world where the line of economic uselessness is rising over time. anyone reasonably intelligent is going to correctly predict they will eventually end up on the wrong side of that line. smart people of all political alignments had already figured it out well before the current ai capabilities boom, though their solutions differ (moldbug discusses it in his essay on the "dire problem", anytime a leftist jokes about "fully automated luxury communism" they're talking about it, the rats take it for granted that it'll happen if the machines don't just kill us instead).
the only ways out of this even in principle are fatalistic primitivism or radical transhumanism.

>>278120
National Socialism takes the jews and shitskins out of the equation while moralizing Whites to take care of each other. It's a rejection of post-modernism. If you weren't such a kike you'd get it.
Even with a complete collapse you're better off with other white people around you than the mystery meat of empire.

aktion t4 killed whites for not being economically valuable. if you are advocating something very different from what the actual NSDAP did, perhaps you should consider not using the label "national socialism", to avoid confusion.

THIS. I use my auto fire macro for cutscene skip, exclusively. That's retarded.

I don't like it when games have easy mode. We should get rid of easy modes.
But what I hate more has got to be "easier mode". This was, and probably still is a massive fashion among Japanese video game developers for some really strange reason. It actually turned out to be a big issue with a couple of the Resident Evils since some of then additionally don't give their difficulties real names for some reason so you had players picking the middle one go the list thinking it was normal when it was go fact Easy- as opposed to the two other difficulties ("Very Easy" and "Normal").

>>278311
I think that a game having easy mode is the lesser evil between the game itself being made easier.

>>278311 (checked)
Now that's what I call petty! But in all seriousness, having easy mode in a few turboautism games helped me get into them and eventually replay them on higher difficulties. Plus I second >>278324

>>278311
I kinda wish more games had a "no enemies mode". Probably after beating the game so that I can just explore the scenery and shit and be maximum comfy. God mode isn't really the same because you still have some faggots running after you trying to kill you and ruining the atmosphere.

I blame Shadow of the Colossus for giving me a taste of a game with no trash mobs to worry about. Even though exploration was largely pointless, I really dug the vibes of just wandering around the woods and mountains in that game.

I fucking hate when a game gives me a pump- or lever-action shotgun that can't one-hit-kill a regular enemy
and they almost always do it to make their double-barreled shotguns better because all anyone learned from doom ii was that double-barreled shotguns are cool
I find myself asking what the point of adding 2 shotguns to your game is, if one is blatantly superior to the other in almost every conceivable way(they sometimes try to "balance" it by making the double-barrel have the accuracy of a social media callout post and the effective range of a choked hose, but it hardly ever matters because the standard shotgun will do so little damage that the double-barrel is still more effective at range)

>>281575

In my experience, the following words are the #1 way to get loads of free tech support from the internet, no questions asked. Repeat after me:

A lot of it won't be applicable because you might not be running Linux, but guaranteed you will at least ragebait something useful.

Same complaint, but bigger. I was thinking recently and it occurred to me how many games I'm in menus. I'm getting really, REALLY sick of being in FUCKING MENUS.
RPGs I feel like I spend 90% of my time buying/selling/storing loot in stores. So all I'm doing is looking store buy/sell option menus and checking stat tables to see what to sell and what to buy.
Action games, I'm spending most of my time pondering weapon selection, map choice, and consumables in menus.
Simulation games are often built as nothing BUT menus.
Even fucking Harvest Moon I'll sit in the inventory menu because it's ALWAYS FUCKING FULL and I have to plan out what I do there because it's one of the few places that time isn't constantly moving.

I was fine with stuff like the timed levels in Rayman Origins and Legends, but when every level has a time limit (like in the classic Mario or Sonic games) i think it's cancer, because in that case the game is forcing you to play to its pace instead of letting you play on your own.
A game giving you a bonus score if you complete it under a certain time? Fine
Getting a game over if you don't complete it under a certain time? Fuck that shit.

Hand crafted character models always look better than retarded custom character models. Custom characters usually end up looking like a cosplayer when you wear armor or clothes NPCs wear since they weren't modeled with your character's proportions in mind, they also usually don't have voice acting or have a generic voice instead.
Since custom characters never have a story, we also never fucking know why they're doing the the things they're doing in the game besides getting instructions from an NPC. Hell, even Billy and Jimmy from Double Dragon have more backstory than the Elden Ring protagonist.
On a side note, fuck anyone who uses character creators to make meme abominations. That's the most reddit shit I've ever seen in my life.

I don't think it's "wrong" per se but I personally don't like it because I don't like anything resembling 3DPD. And while I'm at it I guess I also wouldn't like playing as an intentionally ugly "goofy" dude for an entire game; looking at a funny picture is enough.

Same applies when it's said about other mediums, not only games. Such a corny thing to say. It's not impossible for it to be true, but it's pretentious and wrong in most contexts. Most recent example I can think of having heard this is Cyberpunk's setting. It's just an open-world game set in a city. Those are dime-a-dozen. You don't hear anyone huff their own farts while stating the obvious about Stuck in Bowser's Stomach with You Bowser's Inside Story.

>>295630

>>294207
No.

>>295642
How do you figure this? I wouldn't consider setting to be a character in either of those games. Not even Dark Souls despite it having an intricate game world (which is more for gameplay's sake than lore). Another good example I thought of for a setting that is a character would be World of Warcraft since the homeworld that most of Warcraft is set in is actually the egg of a godlike being and the overarching plot is about protecting it from various cosmic threats until it can hatch. It is described to commune with quite a few characters, with one of them handpicked and turned to diamond by it to be its speaker. I guess I'm not sure what is trying to be conveyed when people refer to a setting as a character if it isn't literal. Just seems like a cheap "im 14 and this is deep" cliché for writers to embellish the complexity of their setting after the fact without having successfully done so on the merit of their writing previously.

>>278311

My issue with easy modes in most games is that they're actually SO much easier than the normal mode(s) that they don't help me get into the game, because I never have to apply tactics or "learn the game" to win, while "Normal" feels like it's kicking me in the ribs(hard, of course, feeling like it's shooting me in the balls).
I often end up in that hell-zone where Easy's too easy and Normal's too hard - because in a first-person shooter, for instance, on Easy I can just power through every encounter because there're barely any enemies & they're all really weak while on Normal I get torn to shreds because there're twice as many enemies AND they deal twice as much damage each - with the game relying on me applying lessons it never actually TAUGHT me.
I find this is particularly prevalent in "tactical" shooters or other high-lethality games, as the Easy difficulties seem to make the enemies so nonthreatening that it outright ceases to be a tactical shooter!

You make me feel a lot better about myself, anon.

I can't tell if Kingdom Hearts 1 is downright esoteric with it's exploration or if I'm just retarded.
Got stuck in Wonderland for a good while trying to find the last piece of evidence or whatever for Alice's innocense, took me forever to realize the exit I needed to find was a top corner I never thought to see, but man the exploration can feel tedious, especially because the music feels so short that the loops get to my head, I swear the combat music has more segments than the exploration music.
I will still slog through to finish this game and the collection.

>>295768
I recently played through KH1 and had the exact same problem at wonderland. I think the later levels were way better. They made a huge mistake opening with that labyrinthine eyesore.

>>295768

>>276144
This.

I like to tinker and make things the best they can be for my personal experience and preferences. Nice image by the way.

Wolfenstien 2 disappointed me.
 The fact that BJ gets a power suit that doesn't let him do much other than a gay little stomp that does nothing. And later on after getting decapitated he gets a super soldier body that still has that gay little stomp that has no benefits other than letting enemies know I'm there.
Melee executions serve no purpose and are there to just there for the gore factor, I died more times whenever I'm in a gunfight near a enemy and my reflexes hit the melee button only for a small animation to play while i get shot at. Would've been better if they did like Far Cry and let you be able to do chain kills since you are in a super soldier body.
But one thing that did cause me to (almost) uninstall was the part where they introduced a map system midpoint in the game (after getting beheaded mind you)
Basically it's the games way of letting you liberate America. 
Whenever you collect enigma codes off of enemy commanders you have to play a decipher minigame to unlock a reskinned mission to kill the uber commander to unlock more missions and rinse and repeat.
Only thing I liked was the guns and the contraptions, would be cool to see a game have their own battle walker or the constrictor harness which could be a fun way to traverse the map.
Overall the game was fun despite the disappointment of what could've been (if I had my way with development) and I liked how campy the world of Wolfenstien is plus the nazi technology looked cool.
Never bothered getting invested too much in the story, I hated the nigger woman and just skipped the cutscenes whenever I saw her but I did like Engel alot more and was disappointed again by how you just killed her off in the lamest way possible. 
Would've been better if she realized that BJ was still alive and there was a boss fight in her nazi mech suit or something I guess.
Not even gonna bother with YoungBlood or the Freedom Chronicles (aka reskin hell)
Only played this game because I remembered that Wolfenstien 2 existed while digging through GOG and decided to finish the whole trilogy. (Which I can only say is a massive wasted potential since if you wanted the full story you'd have to play through Wolfenstien 2009. )
What pisses me off is that pointing out the antifa ads had aged poorly gets you dogpiled on by retards who obsessed over that robot from creature commando , dont know who the fuck came up with them but it's clear that they're were not aware of how fucked the political climate of the US was getting.
Still I wished I played something else instead of wanting to finish the rest of the game.

>>295930
You have a strong stomach for a game full of leftist bullshit.
If you want to shoot more nazis, check out Brutal Wolfenstein v. 7.2, a tc for doom. It has a new bonus episode with lots of annoying doors that slam on your face or ass at the worst possible moment.

Locking core game mechanics behind grinding in series/genres not known for grinding. Examples:

>Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
>A dual card system lets the player generate a power up, with 100 possible combinations.
<But the cards are found as drops, by chance, from specific monsters.
<There is no way to know what monster drops which card beforehand, without a guide.
Fortunately there's a mod that instead locks the cards behind exploring the castle, and finding certain hidden rooms.

>Nastuki Chronicles
>Story mode let's the player customize the weapons of their ship between missions.
>Some weapons are unlocked by beating certain stage/difficulty combinations.
<But many other weapons are unlocked by grinding to certain pilot levels.
<And after unlocking any weapon, there is a money grind to pass before the player can actually use the weapon.
<Low level weapons are not that costly, but higher level weapons increase in cost exponentially.

I do not like whoever thought that having to prepare to play a game, while in the game, before it can be played, is a good idea for single player games.

I don't like Jesper Kyd's music, its good and well made, but it doesn't fit the respective games, for example, Darksiders 2.
The entire game is about a plague spreading across the worlds and slowly consuming and corrupting everything in its path, and this is the music the guy puts in the game.
This music works well if you are exploring the countryside or a farmland in RPGs, or action games or strategy games like Baldur's Gate, Fable, Overlord, Banished, Divinity 2, Diablo, etc, but it does not work for dungeon crawling soundtrack, and it doesn't work for Darksiders, this is also the theme for the not dwarves, these giant golem makers twice your character's size who wield XBOX huge hammers.
And the rest of the soundtrack doesn't get any better, the combat music doesn't put me in the mood to fight, the music for the land of the dead doesn't give me any feeling of sadness or depression or dread, it gives me hope.
Shame I can't replace the soundtrack in game.

>>296076
I seem to recall that the whole card system in circle of the moon was bugged so that as you were casting the cards you  could go into the menu and pick whatever cards you wanted (regardless if you had collected them already) and it would just cast those ones instead. Meaning that if you could cast anything you could cast everything.
Not that I am disagreeing with your point at all. The whole idea of Kill every enemy 100 times in the hopes that it might be the one to drop something crucial like that is bad and the idea of selling game guides that tells you where to get those cards was probably not insignificant. I am merely saying that in that case it matters less because they fucked up the code.

Games with collectibles that force you to play like trash to obtain said collectibles. Konami Krazy Racers' GP Mode has coins you can collect, while racing, to purchase item upgrades. But it feels like half of the coins are in the "dirt" side parts of the tracks that you would never collect while trying to win. Oh, and the coins are small, hard to see, and blend in with certain browns (It's harder to see than what's in the picture, when everything is in motion.) Oh, and the game doesn't track how many coins you have left to find in a track. I suppose the workaround is to play Easy Mode with a 5-star Grip racer (pic related) so that you race slowly enough to hopefully see the coins better. And so that you can more easily turn back into the track proper once you've gone out of the way to get the more annoyingly placed coins.

>>296247
Yes. There is also Magician Mode that unlocks all of the cards from the start. Though that's only playable after beating the game once.

>>276021
>>276081
This is the reason why I couldn't finish Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song. Yeah, the base game has a cryptic hint on when quests are available, based on how many tutorials you've unlocked. And the Remaster makes this more obvious, with a Doom Clock of sorts, in the menu. But you still don't know where the quests are without combing the entire world every time the tutorials/Doom Clock advances. I suppose you could say this is what New Game+ is for. But, man, I ain't got time to go through a 20 - 40 hour RPG up to 8 times to feel like I have seen everything there is to see.

I had to use a drop rate cheat to get the stupid cards.

>>296378
>games with collectibles
When I was a kid, I played a GBA game, where to complete it up to the 100% you had to collect all the coins on every single stage, then, that would unlock a dialog with a NPC or something and obtain the 100%. BUT I GOT STUCK AT 1 COIN. So I remember spending a lot of time, going around every single map of the game trying to find the single coin... At the end I gave up. Was a spyro isometric platformer. I think. 
Then you have the super forced collectibles of AAA games (Ubisoft games for example) that without a guide are literally impossible, or those annoying collectibles of games like GTA.

>>296385
Reminds me of how there were collectibles in Donkey Kong 64 that no one knew about until someone literally stepped on grass an decade+ later.

>>296386
I played nearly all the classic Rare platformers but skipped DK64 from hearing about the collectibles, something about being permanently locked out from getting 100%. I mean, if you're gonna play a collectathon, it's pointless to settle for 99%, right?

>>296387
Not exactly, you can beat the game and come back and pretty much plan out an route to find all the collectibles you did before and search for the ones you didn't find before it's an easy way to get more value out of the same game and still have fun while finding new things.

I hate when 100% completion can be decided by something you only have one attempt at... my most hated example is from a title I love, SNES Aladdin, getting the Red Gems is a fun challenge, but the last one... it's a jump where you have to get a running start, jump from the very edge and glide at the right moment... oh, didn't make it? Too bad! No 100% for you, afterall there's no way to go back up, and to die you have to get to the boss, so there's a checkpoint. I hate this.

Genesis version truly is superior.

>>296389
Such an easy way to fix it: just let people turn off the fucking "upgrade" that lags out the game. There's no way they didn't know it lagged out the game.

This is less petty but completely bullshit. Any game that decides to essentially reset your progress if you don't perfectly beat the level and force you to restart the level or even possibly game. Naughty dog were a bunch of fucking sadistic monsters for even making crash 1.

I'm not sure if that's a byproduct of whatever compiler version he used or if he just wrote it down that way because Steam no longer officially supports 7, but it still sucks to see the last decent Windows version get the finger more and more often over the years.

>>297957
That's probably because all of Microsoft's development tools push windows-10+ exclusive API calls into your program. You have to really know what you're doing if you want to make a Windows 7 compatible program.

That would make sense, sadly. By the looks of it, you can't use any version of Visual Studio past 2019 if you want to build software for Windows 7 or 8.1, which probably isn't a huge problem unless one of your libraries fucks you over by demanding something newer.

I assume you're just trolling at this point, but if you're too gay and retarded to use Linux then use LTSC. There's absolutely no reason to use an OS that hasn't been updated in almost a decade for daily use, let alone something as insecure and shit as Windows.

Do you have a mirror? You're using an OS developed by literal trannies and faggots, if you prefer that over the last Windows version made by white men then you need to rope asap.
On a more serious note, the "update Windows for security" shtick is tired and irrelevant in 2020+. Modern Windows has more backdoors than a speakeasy with new bugs and vulns introduced in each update. With an OS like this who needs viruses?.. A firewalled W7 is more than good enough especially for vidya.

2: The mecha-fish fan puzzle in Gloomy Galleon is nigh impossible to beat if you get the scope upgrade before it because that causes so much lag the timer becomes nigh impossible. You can still get it with some glitches, or if you're playing on an emulator and use options that lower lag.

He goes to bestbuy because he doesn't care to learn what other vendors exist, buys a prebuilt because he doesn't care to learn how to put chips into a slot, uses the pre-installed windows because he doesn't care to learn how to put mint on a thumbdrive, then when you tell him of these things, he says "sounds like a lot of effort," or "bro I'm just tryna use insta."
Even then, you're not accounting for the rest of the pc market made up of macOS faggots.
Don't give me that crap that the consumer is a helpless serf being curbstomped by the big corpo piggers, when he is a contented, free agency lacking, consensus filtering, crony defending, self serving yet totally dependent example of hominid cattle so far removed from any quality that would make man a decider of his own destiny and set apart from other known forms of life.
The tormented are also the tormentors in hell.

Way to miss the point, retard.
The point wasn't even about Windows 7, but against this "dude, just move on, there's new thing now" retarded mentality, that you must just "go with the flow" like a mindless sheep and "upgrade" (mandatory quotation marks) regardless if "new thing" is an actual improvement or not.

>>301465
PS:
Is the same argument morons do about older vidya and how we should stop playing older games because new slop is better.

>>301465
The point isn't whether it's good or bad, the point is you are in a position of perpetual powerlessness. You have to beg every developer to support your dying niche EOL system. Linux doesn't have to beg every developer to support it because it's allowed to make shit work regardless of the compatibility target. If the megacorpo that made your proprietary shit hobbled it to prevent any attempt at that, it's a bad system and no rose tinted shades can fix that. You knew this was coming anyway.
If you're still on W7, use that powerful autism to get your bearings on Linux.

>>301472
Wrong, on Windows you can use older version of programs (on older versions of Windows) just fine most of the time, whereas on Linux, due to how package management works, you always have to update everything to the latest version or otherwise shit breaks, and AppImages don't solve this issue because they still depend on glibc.

>>301473
>They still depend on glibc
Every program on Linux depends on glibc unless you compile it for musl.
The Windows way of doing things is they almost never update anything on the OS level, and it's just a bunch of hacks on top of each other, then they use their own version of a compatibility layer, similar to Wine except it doesn't work for a lot of games, for running old software. This is why you have to "upgrade" to Windows 10 to run most new programs now, unless you use software built for Linux to run new games, which is hilarious.

>you always have to update everything to the latest version or otherwise shit breaks
Not really, otherwise stable releases wouldn't exist. Plus there is nothing preventing you from running a really old version of a library on Linux.

>>301481
the problem is that there is no easy way to target older glibc versions outside of a container or having an older distro installed, its archaic and fucking retarded.

>>301465
>Hurrdurrr good bad
Okay, enjoy your dying model T.

>>301483
I don't really understand your complaint. Explain how you think it should be.

>>301490
A simple flag for the linker.
>gcc --target-glibc=version(1.0) main.cpp
the system glibc and the linker glibc shouldn't be the same, the developer’s glibc should be treated as an external SDK and only fall back to the system glibc if no argument is passed, this way is more elegant and gives full control to the developer and not to the OS.

>>301492
Try zig cc, it has exactly that feature.

or
https://github.com/wheybags/glibc_version_header

or
https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng

or old fashioned chroot
or static linking.

Every time I played Civilization, EUIV, HOI4, etc. I think, "Oh man, it's been a while since I played this game, this is going to be fu--" and then it's Sunday at 4 a.m. and I have all my weekend chores to do after crashing and somehow figuring out a way to be functional for work on Monday and think, "NEVER AGAIN, I WILL NEVER PLAY THIS GAME AGAIN."
And you know what? It really is never again, because it's been years since I've played Civ now. I look at the game case and have this shiver down my spine of how FUCKING LONG it takes to finish one game of Civ and I don't want to even start.

>>301516
You might try Civilization Revolution sometime.  It's relatively simpler than other Civ games and consequently games end much quicker.  Plus it's really cozy to play a Civ game on a handheld from the comfort of your bed.

>>301496
Seconding zig cc. I have been using it for a while now to compile my own binaries targeting old glibc versions and it works great. Sadly it's not well known and very few developers make use of it. 
>static linking
You should only do that with musl libc, not glibc. The latter intentionally breaks static linking, just like all GNU software. You can use zig cc to also target musl and link it statically, resulting in a binary that works on all distros whether they have musl or glibc.

>>301483
It's quite baffling how MSVC has been letting developers target old Windows versions for decades, and GCC still doesn't let you target old glibc versions. Even after zig cc came about, too.

>>301516

>Game with a large/medium sized roster of playable characters has a tracker that keeps track who you usually play as and who your favorite character is
>The majority of side content/free play stuff is unlocked after doing story missions, effectively meaning you can't actually play as your favorite character all the time until  NG+
<The story missions force you to play as a specific character, 9.99 times out of 10 isn't the one you want to play as, these missions count towards your favorite character tracker
<By the end of the game's story, the tracker assumes your favorite character in the game is a character you would never play as normally and/or downright fucking hate
Pic related. I dropped EV for a few months because I just hated playing as her that much. To add insult to injury the tracker had her in my top 3 favorites because she has the most story missions out of everyone in the game.
Games with large rosters should just let you play as whoever you want whenever. If I want to play as someone else, I will.

>>302702
Out of curiosity, how many missions would you realistically be playing as your properly established character of choice with an actual edged weapon (Hikage, Murakumo, Yomi, Homerun) inbetween freeplay missions and scripted ones? I dropped EV as soon as enemies appeared on screen and Ryoubi wasn't hauling ass carrying 30 airborne enemies behind her back.
