things you want to stop in videogames

1.Unlockable characters in Fighting games - Jesus this pisses me off sooo much in games like Smash brothers or Street Fighter when your favorite characters require beating the story mode as other ones or stupidly random challenges like Smash Bros (play 10 hours to unlock X, play 50 hours to unlock Y) .

Hell for me to get Dan my favorite character in SF4 not only did I have to beat arcade as Ryu a character I dont like but I had to complete arcade with Sakura as well who was ALSO unlockable at that !!!

Respawning enemies.

I prefer clearing out an area and then advancing, not rushing to reach and invisible line that stops the respawning.

I also dislike regenerating health.

Poor checkpoint placement, Turok being a perfect example.

I like unlocking new characters, it just adds progression to fighting games c1o2d3y

I wish there was more unlocking stuff these days... seems like what used to be unlockable is now a micro-transaction from PSN/Live/VC... When did they decide that alternate costumes for fighters were worth an extra buck or two?

In fighting games: cheap God-like Bosses (SNK, I'm looking at you)

In FPS: I agree with infinitere-spawning enemies.

In other: Sonic, lol.

Also, forced co-op with stupid AI partners. Co-op shouldn't be mandatory AT ALL. (Yes, RE5 this is for you)

Play on easiest one round, play as Ryu, spam Haduken, piece of cake.

games are too short nowadays, stop focusing on multiplayer some us don't care about it, fps needs to take at least a year off, marketing bad games as a classic

Excuses for bad controls and camera.

Horrible save point systems

Generic boss battles

overabundance of cutscenes

QUICKTIME EVENTS.

1.Unlockable characters Sonic_on_crack

Bad graphics. Thats why i never play my ds:D

repetative game play. I want new enemies with different weaknesses and different powers or weapons. Games should have veriety.

Regenerating health. It made sense in Halo and Vampire. It makes no sense in CoD or GeOW.

-The "omg must-have multiplayer or it sucks" mindset of developers/gamers/critics. Dear god this is turning into such a huge problem.

-DLC. Some DLC is fine but DLC in which you have to pay to unlock content found on the disk is just stupid. If it's on the disk, we should have access to it at no further cost

-Short games. IE: Heavenly Sword

Respawning enemies. Nothing makes me more angry than to be shooting an endless stream of baddies until I get to a magical point, where sudddenly all my allies are around me shouting "We did it lol!". Its stupid, and removes all immersion. Also, implement an actual decent (frequent) checkpoint system AND a save anywhere function. Its not that hard to do both.

Call of Duty 3 is a perfect example of what NOT to do. This game is killing me a little inside everytime I play. (Veteran mode btw)

Oh, I agree with you so much. If I hear "There'll be plenty of Jerry!" one more time, I'm going to start sobbing and curl up into the fetal position.

QTEs and overly used context sensitive actions, the latter mostly on PC tho since i understand it's sometimes a necessity on consoles.

Gameplay compromises, this gen with devs desperately trying to grow their target audiences it's become more common to try to mix several genres together, for e.g. action+rpg often resulting in a game that isn't really good in either area.

Regenerating health. It made sense in Halo and Vampire. It makes no sense in CoD or GeOW.

Dude, regenerating health is the best thing that happend for FPS's, whitout it you would just be worying about when you can find your next checkpoint or health pack. With regenerating health, you can consentrate on shoting the ennemy and enjoying the game, and it becomes less of a game of memorisation like the old shooters.

It dumbs the shooters down to a casual bore fest, taking away any reasonable challenge in replacement for accesibility. It is the WORST thing to happen to FPS. You want a good health system? Half Life 2s and STALKERs.

Generic big haired heroes or bald space marines.

Escort missions. Mainly cause the person/craft/car acts like an idiot and is impossible to keep alive. I hate babysitting in real life, why would I want to in a game.k04sm02

plus regen health worked ok in crysis... is that a dumbed down shooter

yeah but in stalker you have to lean on the quick save. i found that game sooo frustrating. enemies who can get headshots from 20 miles away isnt fun in my book. shame cos other than that it greatdoobie1975

Well, that has more to do with balance and AI than it does with a health system. But yes, I agree.

Its alright in some games but its becomming the standard. having to wait for healthpacks and such make you have to use stratagy in games rather then rush in take a few hits to get the kill with no worries. Also with this note in co-op being able to rez your partner by hugging them or respawns. halo 3 on legendary was a joke... just have 1 play snyper the other gunner, if the gunner dies run to a secure spot for the rez wash rinse repeat.

Endings that go no where and leave you hanging..

Turn based battles. I don't mind random encounters so much as long as they're not turn based. (FFVII Crisis Core)

FPS games. Developers need to give this genre a break, make some more original games, like what the last generation had. The PS2's exclusives were mostly non-shooters. Games like Dark Cloud, God of War, Kingdom Hearts, Bully, Jak and Daxter and Downhill Domination.

Lack of in-depth stories. Good storiesgive you more motivationto play. (Uncharted, MGS4 andCrisis Core)
