Games that annoy you.

[Blues-Music]

Why is that the new default me  .

Could you people please get off my back? I see one thing I disagree with , and for sharing my opinion I am somehow beating the living crap out of other opinions. When someone gets mad for some reason I try to clear that up , but they out right ignore the post , and pretend I did nothing but insult them. For some reason Blues is now considered an insult. I disagree with your opinion. So? Just because I don't have your point of view doesn't mean i'm stomping on your opinion. Just because i'm clearing what someone was wrong in doesn't mean i'm calling them dumb.

When will I ever hear the end of this? People have been on my case ever since I said something they didn't agree with.

Teal I really don't care anymore. I actually won't care about what anyone posts about this. I'm not starting anything. I just want to get people off my back.

Call of duty is not as bad as people say. It's one smidge better than what everyone is calling it.  I hate it , but I would play it  when I have no other options. It's a small time passer.

[glow=darkgreen,2,300]I agree, but theres other options as the mmofps what you can play for "free" (as ever, the one what pay, the one what get too powerful weps) and you can make your way. I saw people with real money bought weapons and they failed or called me hacker for just kill them

Seems what being good in something turn you into a hacker in a mmofps, I used to be a good sniper (now im very average since I dont play and lost skills)

Example: you kill with the normal "bad" sniper someone with a "good" weapon, then you are called hacker or noob[/glow]

Assassin's Creed 3.
I am not a fan of the series, this is the only game I have ever played past 15% of the story, finished actually.

I wish I didn't. I won't spoil the ending, but that was the worst ending to a game I have played in a long time.

Now, what annoys me?
~Enemies are too frequent and the world design makes it near impossible to escape pursuit. I know that in the previous games had much more rooftops to them and less guards. In AC3, theirs little rooftops and TONS of british soldiers all over.
~Combat and Money is too easy. I had 20k E right at sequence 6 due to "hidden" chests in the game. Combat is too darn easy, press B+X to win.
~Historic battles are disappointing. Wanted to go fight the british head on? Too bad, your path is set to go around them, the battles are very linear. Some battles make you tell soldiers when or where to shoot.
~This is probably just me but, I wanted to play Desmond more.
~The characters SUCK! Connor is the least likable protagonist I have ever played. The only characters I liked were the founding fathers, Sam Adams and Haytham, who made me chuckle at his attitude.

I recall Ubisoft making a big deal that they compensated for the lack of rooftops with the fact that you can go through buildings via the windows and such.
I also recall seeing that they seemed to have designed trees for parkour/free-running, as well.

Just wanted to point that out. Though, I haven't gotten to play my copy of AC3 yet, so I dunno how successful Ubisoft was at that system. From the videos I've seen of it in action, it looked like it was pretty good.

I actually quite liked the game, but have to agree with you on the ending. My reaction:


I have found this page to explain the ending, but they could've done it much better

Mabinogi, and maybe just anything Nexon's produced XD
Really hate that in Mabinogi every monster can spam you with the exact same skill and get you in a stun lock possition >.>
Another thing, the Lycanthrope enemy always regenerates unless you use the skill Windmill, or you can 1 shot kill them.
Also, the Latency issues Nexon has every time they host an event... Why bother hosting events if your servers cant handle the load?

Been playing Vindictus more or less since it came to America.
Nowadays I play it maybe once a month, because every time I log in, I'm reminded how much I dislike Nexon.
No game company is as undeserving of their good fortune as Nexon is.

Oh gawd... Not that again. I've spent more time on the N64 version of that game to never what to hear that annoying little pink poofball again...

Come to think of it. I never did find that last heart piece... 19 and 3/4s of the 20. 

[Midnight Breeze]

I just finished the original Assassin's Creed for the first time. Yeah, I've been meaning to play the series for a long time and I'm just catching up to the party. The only reason I decided to pick it up now is because I got AC3 free with my graphics card and I don't like skipping games in a series. Heck, truth be told I thought the game was just about an assassin doing his job back in middle age Israel. I had no idea it was a sci-fi game. 

Really though, for an assassin game I found it extremely lacking when it came to...oh, I don't know...STEALTH? Really, stealth seemed like a complete and total afterthought in this game. You can't press yourself against walls to be stealthy, you can't peer around corners, you can't crouch down behind low walls. Hell Altair can't even really 'sneak' at all.

First, the upfront combat is laughably easy. I could take on mastodonic hordes of guards without the slightest bit of effort. Altair is supposed to be an assassin, no some super-warrior one man army. What's the point of even trying to be stealthy when it's so absurdly easy to get by on brute force? Just wait till the enemy attacks and counter them for a one shot kill...totally thrilling combat d00d...

Second, Altair can only move at three speeds. One of which looking like he's on a Sunday morning walk, and the other two being running: which you can't assassinate someone without Altair jumping on them like a wild hyena and alerting every guard in the same zip code. Yeah, I know the game is supposed to be about being incognito and blending into the crowd. But late in the game when the cities are on high alert and know to look for the 'guy in the white hood'. (Protip, Altair. How about you just take of said white hood?) Your cover is blown very easily when walking the streets, meaning rooftops are a far better option. When that roof archer turns around you'd better hope he can't see half of Altair's as you're awkwardly staring out from behind a pillar. And if you happen to be behind a waist-high wall at the time, you're screwed. Forget bending your knees and crouching down behind the wall like any other rational human being would do. Altair is apparently too cool for that. He won't stand to have creases on his pants, oh no!

What's more, there's really no true incentive to play incognito. It seems the guards in the Holy Land have the eyes and ears of hawks, but the attention span and memories of Alzheimer's patients. You can run around on a murdering spree in the middle of Jerusalem, then sit on a bench around the corner and become invisible. Because it's so hard to look for the guy in the white robe with 9000 knives all over him amirite?

Speaking of murder, despite how often the characters demand respect for the Creed and not to harm innocents, there's really no consequences at all for killing civilians. When I realized this I just made a habit of killing beggars and drunkards who push you on sight. Don't know why so many poor women in the Holy Land think it's a good idea to continually pester the heavily armed man in a hood.

Don't get me wrong, I found the story of the game quite interesting and I'll probably play the rest of the series if only for this. I hope the gameplay gets better further in the series. Actually playing the game between story progression felt more like a chore than fun to me. 


Christ Almighty, what a rant. I think I'm done.

this is why I suggest that people dont play games out of order
you have to think of the setting when the first one came (you have the ability to free run, look cool, cities were huge, graphics were awesome, and just the sheer number of npcs were amazing)
yes the game was repetitive and could be boring
but what I look at is how much better 2 was from 1
the leap was huge in my opinion

yes at time it can be frustrating but no matter how mad I got I was still having a blast plaing

tl;dr: AC 1 should be terrible compared to the new ones, that shows that they are making the games better and better

Christ Almighty, what a rant. I think I'm done.

I skipped AC1 and read the story simply because my friends told me the gameplay for it sucked and that they improved it in AC2. I think they were right.
One of the characters even tells Desmond that their Animus 2.0 is a much better version of the Animus than the one he used in AC1, just as a little reference to the improved gameplay.

By the way, killing civilians has a consequence in AC2. They have a tiny bit of leniency just in case you did it completely by accident, but if you kill two or three, it desynchronizes you and sets you back. Killing includes grabbing a civilian and throwing them in water because apparently all NPCs can't swim. I... was testing a theory... after I bumped into someone on a bridge and wondered "Wait, did he just... drown? Seriously? "
(Bumping someone off a ledge into water doesn't count, but throwing them in does)

There are missions that you fail for being seen, especially the ones where you have to follow someone. Some missions are easier if you do it stealthily.

Mabinogi, and maybe just anything Nexon's produced XD
Also, the Latency issues Nexon has every time they host an event... Why bother hosting events if your servers cant handle the load?

No game company is as undeserving of their good fortune as Nexon is. 

I liked Mabinogi. but I found that Mage PvP is horrable

I picked up AC2 and it's definitely worlds better than the first game. The new blending system is much more immersive and combat is more varied. There's no question that gameplay is better so far. In the first game every chapter was more of the same stuff: Climb some towers, save some citizens, collect some intel, assassinate boss. Every. http://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=2470.0">Read the forum rules.. Chapter.

Some complains though is that the no notoriety system seems like a joke. It's easy as hell to lower your notoriety. If in real life clearing your name was as easy as tearing down a few posters, well we'd be in trouble. You just tear down wanted signs and guards instantly forget who you are. It should at least take time. I like to keep my notoriety up anyway, though, because it feels more immersive that way.

I also really wish you could choose any three weapons for you hotkeys, instead of having to fiddle with the weapon wheel. I much prefer daggers to swords. And I certainly don't want to lug around a big freakin hammer. Have you never heard of 'subtlety'?  If it were up to me, I'd hotkey dagger, hidden blade, and throwing knives like a real assassin. 

Also, Ezio's street clothes were cool. I wish I could choose to wear them instead of the assassin's robes. Or at least take off that stupid look cloak.  Glad they at least let you die your clothes, though. I dyed mine dark brown, I prefer dark colors.

uugh..so many annoying games...where to start?? 

[CyanideInsanity]

Sonic adventure. Don't get me wrong, I do like, and enjoy the game, but it has so many problems. Though the  version I'm specifically referring to is the PC dreamcast collection version.

It's literally a port of the dreamcast game, with locked 480p resolution... Of all the problems this game has there are only two that should have been fixed by now, the 8 directional movement, and the resolution. They just did such a abhorrent job of porting the game.

Though the biggest complaint is that SA2 on steam is nearly a perfect port; HD and widescreen output, and surprisingly better multi-display support than some current games. They really should release a patch for it. I mean if some fans could create a hack to get it in HD and proper widescreen, sega should have no problem, seeing as how they have the development files, and are not limited to the final product. Stupid lazy developers.
