Why the forget should they stop making them if you continue to give them money.
forget you.

--- End quote ---
The idea is to have you get used to navigating the area.

--- End quote ---
This allows for developers and designers to make logical barriers to goals as well as the fact that it can be difficult to program movement through water and the transition to this state, particularly in 3d environments.

--- Quote from: DrMobius on January 28, 2011, 03:14:55 AM ---Free games that give a competitive edge to players who pay.

--- End quote ---
The games are not free, the players who pay are paying for your session as well. Supply and demand, the game having adiitional features is more valuable to them than the money they pay, even if it isn't to you

Console exclusive features.
Quicktime events
Ridiculous character creation (PLAY WITH SLIDERS UNTIL HE LOOKS LESS MUTANT)

--- End quote ---
This makes no loving sense, there is no sense of progression without any way to signify your progression

Every console has it's own particular rules for releasing a game through their liscence, Xbox, for example, mandates that if you release a game on other consoles, you must have additional features for the Xbox version

These can be used nicely and are a better alternative to cutscenes

Dynamic morphing is loving hard as forget to make sure it works with reverse kinematic animation systems. Unless the entire game was about the character's apperance, dont expect this to be good

forget you x4

There are only 7(?) stories known to man, every story is an adaptation on alteration of one of those. Likewise there are only a few types of games (or minigames (or quests) ) and therefore any one action you are told to do in any game I can garuntee that there are hundreds of other titles that ask you to do that same thing

--- Quote from: Xinakam on January 25, 2011, 09:16:12 PM ---Games that require you to go to a save point instead of just saving from the menu...

--- End quote ---
This is a purposeful design choice, usually linked with the type of game genre, not to mention dynamic save states are a bitch to program. A save point you just need to record the save point and player stats. A dynamic save system you not only ahve to record the player's stats, but their location and the locations of all objects in the world/level.

--- End quote ---
This is due to both having to handle ratings systems, as well as the difficulty in programming such effects (not to mention the frame rate drop when you have a billion people exploding with particle systems blasting everywhere)
forget you

People, namely executives and producers, only trust what they know. Blame JRR Tolkien

The most sensible complaints with only a few I could comment on but I am tired and about to pass out therefore you are exempt from the following statement:

There are generally reasons for the things you starfishs are complaining about. So to everyone, help yourself to a big hearty forget you.

Chrono:
The cutscenes you can't skip part is a real complaint, especially when the game uses save points.

Save point, long cutscene, easy boss, long cutscene again, super hard boss. No save points in-between. No skipping.
If you can name the game I'm talking about, thumbs up to you.

I HATE RUSHED ENDINGS!

I don't want to play a good long game only to end it horribly and stupid. The developers can do better than that!
