Its just getting plain stupid!
It comes to my attention whilst playing Code Veronica X how stupid video games are getting. I am like every one else I love my video games but theirs some things that are just getting out of control, here are some examples.
Claire Redfield's mother from Resident Evil: Code X has been a very busy woman she’s had to make up to ten different pockets for her daughters jeans, but wait when you put something in these pockets the item suddenly shrinks so you can fit up to 4 first aid sprays in just one pocket.
Now seriously Claire’s jeans are so tight I’ll be surprised to see her fit her bus pass in the back pocket, let alone a selection of medical packs and a rocket launcher. I am not asking for a lot just a slight bulge in one of the pockets please!!!!
A round of applause for Metal Gear Solid 2 you can actually see Snake take his handgun out of its holder.
Another thing that really annoys me is the stupid dialogue that normal comes up at the bottom or you hear you character say it, example:
“You cannot use the bazooka here”
“This door is open from somewhere else”
What I want to know is WHY cant I use the bazooka here I would be a great laugh!!!
Who designed the building a blind man?? He’s put the lever a mile and a half away from the actually door!!
Have you ever found yourself in a room on a game surrounded by up to ten people with Uzi’s??? We all have, and we all have taken bullet after bullets from the enemy but still haven’t died only received the mildest loss of health. If you get shot 10 times in the torso YOU SHOULD DIE!!
In the Time Crisis series the bosses take multiple hits in the face but still don’t show any sign of wounds or giving up.
But yet again Meta Gear Solid 2 has done us proud by making you bandage snake up so people wont follow the bloodstains. Very Intelligent.
“You need the red key to proceed pass this door” I hate this phrase and all the different keys you need to find just to get pass one level. Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Gold, and Mustard…the list goes on.
Why can’t we try to blow down the door using the bazooka or burn it down with the flamethrower?
But when we do use the bazooka it doesn’t even scratch the now 6 feet reinforced steel door with a wood look finish.
Can’t we try stuffing in the blue or yellow key card??
Knock to see if anyone will answer from the other side??
Do you find that in games when u kill somebody after about 10 seconds their body suddenly decomposes at an amazing rate and sinks into the floor?
It’s quite satisfying to see a massacre of a room with dead bodies from left to right and you know that you have caused it using just a pizza cutter when suddenly the bodies of your victims disappear right in front of your eyes. This is no trickery from David Blaine but it’s an outrage, I don’t know about you but I love to see my victims piled up on the floor.
Continued from yesterday.....
Why is it that when you walk up to people mostly in RPG's you get the same conversations over and over again i dont want to hear "Your pokemon is unwell" i want to hear "Did you see Soccer Am on saturday. This proberly sounds stupid but i am bored with going through the same lines endlessly.
How many times have you ran around a little village talking to everyone but all they say is "I have nothing more to say to you" It's not funny!!
Glitching is really bad, where your getting into a fast action game in total darkness with just the TV screen glisting in your eye and u can nearly feel the alien breathing down your next its seems so real, but suddenly you see someone's arm or head going through a wall.
Fighting chracters dont absorb each others limbs. It spoils everything!!
How many squeals are needed?? I don't mind playing a new Metal Gear Solid or Halo game every month but squeals like Tomb Raider theres 1, 2, 3, 4...etc
Sport games are the worst especially Fifa every year they bring out the same old football game but with 3 new teams *WOW*!
Wouldn't it be lovely to have a game on the Nationwide Divisions?
Emotions we all have them so why don’t some computer games include them, you might put the argument that there is no need but it adds to the tension and the suspense.
Why aren’t they sacred? They’ve just watched you single-handedly tear the stomachs out of 50 of their comrades with a blunt spoon, yet still the guards stumble towards you, wave after wave. Why? Because they have been design to move from point A to point B while firing every 4 seconds at point C.
The bloke standing next to a guard gets shot in the head by a sniper bullet and he just stands their motion less still patrolling the area.
A grenade blows up to there side and they don’t even flinch? Why don’t they panic?
Run away immediately? Surrender? Change sides? It wouldn’t just make things more believable, it would make them miles better too.
In the upcoming release The Thing due in October Your squad wet themselves, vomit and cry this will all and to the suspense of the game.

Havent you already posted this?
I've added more
man you should get a GAD for this. maybe its because I didnt sleep last night and am easily made to laugh, or its the fact that I have the same twisted humour as you..... but I * myself just then!

Heh heh. Nice post. I suppose most of them are to do with cpabilities of the hardware, especially the bodies decomposing one.

Yep, but then he wouldn't have stretched the one post to two topics, thus giving him a 2nd chance at GAD... you can't fault him for it either.
Being truthful, I do feel a bit narked about the mods completely neglecting to read my Nintendo topic last week, but I don't begrudge the person who won on that day... why should I?
Can't quite stretch the entire history of Nintendo to two topics, but had I done so it would've technically doubled the chances of winning, just a case of whether or not you feel inclined to do so.
He has a decent topic here, the chances are its not even going to be read by the mods anyway, as it isn't in "prime topics" - so you can't blame the guy for reposting it with a bit extra. Very little need to nitpick over it. ;)

Although if you think about it, MGS2 has both non-disappearing bodies, and spent shells from weapons etc. As does GTA3 till you move far enough away from the scene. So it ain't the limitations of the hardware, more the laziness of the developer, or the sloppiness of the game's coding (not making the most efficient use of processor load).
