Im getting fed up with time limits in games.
This has come about because of burnout, i love the game but i find that if i come 1st im timed out or if im 2nd i come in with 20 secs to spare but doesnt go through because i need to come 1st.
This really bothers me because i see this as taking the fun out of the game, if i get beaten by the other racers i can understand but when its becuase of a time limit it gets me mad.
I find this in most racing games and infact the only racing games i like are when there is no timelimit.
I find burnout a good game when i forget about the time limit and i enjoy every minute.
When i remember the time limit i start to forget to enjoy it and concentrate on the time too much.
Some games, not just racers, have time limits but very rare to have them through out the game, i can stand this but all the time it gets boring.
This also might be why i like shooters as you can take your time and work out what you will do, go in all guns blazing shooting such and such first or taking out one guard with out the rest noticing then another and so on.
Talking about games i like and dislike, id like to mention RPGs.
Most people if not all people agree that zelda and final fantasy are RPGs and the diffrence being that you need to gain exp points in FF.
once again i feel this can take your time up spoil the game and also make the game too easy.
You can get so far then go no further because your not strong enough, or from the start spend days just leveling up and then walking thought the game with your level 99s.
This i think takes the challenge out of the game.
I find zelda much better as tatics and skill are the things that get you to the end of the game.
cheers for reading i was wondering if you people hate some games and love others? and if so why?
p.s. my eyes are really hurting because i just been playing burnout and when i concentrate i bring my eyes brows together and now mu eyes are hurting and i cant see well so thats why some of the words and grammer are wrong, soz.

Well, Nintendo Official Magazine call the Zelda games an RPG, and if you break that acronym down (role playing game) then you see it actually is.
On the original topic.. tell me about it! I've just been playing Tony Hawk's 3 and it's so frustrating when you've just gotten into your rhythm and your two minutes is up. It takes all the fun out of exploring and changing and rethinking your tactics.
However, it is necessary in some games (Burnout, Pikmin and Majora's Mask for example) as it's a large part of the gameplay, and implements and element of panic and also gives the game a fast pace.

oh in games that use time limits i hold my breath until i get to a check point. at checkpoints i take a breath then i go on and hold my breath again until the next checkpoint. that makes games alot funner. but afterward my head hurts, im hungury, and my left lung fell out ......... well maybe the first 2.

ACtually Nintendo themselves say that Zelda is an Action/Adventure games.
And I agree, time limits just get on my nerves.

I can understand how time limits can become frustrating in games, but I reckon that the 'checkpoint' system in Burnout was necessary to make it a challenge. Even with the checkpoints, I found the game incredibly easy, have unlocked everything, and did so in one day of interrupted play. It was just too easy!
If it didn't have the checkpoint system, it would have been one hell of a lot easier and would have made playing the game boring.
