Biggest flaws in your favorite games.

What are the things that make your favorite games less than perfect?

Dark Souls 1: Can only roll in the 4 cardinal directions. Re-skinned bosses (asylum demon, demon firesage, stray demon).

Okami lacks proper voice acting.

Getting useful items in FFXII is a nothing short of a pain in the ass.

Silent Hill's combat can be smelly. I know it's a horror game so you're not supposed to be an unstoppable badass but it feels way too clunky at times. It's a good thing that literally everything else in the game more than makes up for it.

Pokemon games sometimes have a severe problem in lacking certain good types depending on which starter you picked. Fire types in Sinnoh being the absolute worst offender.

Combat in the 3d Fallout games is ASS. Operation Anchorage was a goddamn mistake. The fun of Fallout is exploring this horrific wasteland, scavenging supplies to survive and interacting with all the characters. What do you get when you take all of that out and you're basically left with a CoD mission with Fallout's shooting gameplay? Shit. You get shit.

Dark Souls takes a significant dip in quality after getting the Lordvessel. I can't stand Lost Izalith. It's like they blew their load on Anor Londo then tried to make do with the little bits of dried cum for the rest of the game.

Metal Gear Rising is way too short and the level design is kind of bland. Plus it really could have used a boss rush mode.

In Mass Effect you don't really get rewarded or much of a payoff for being neutral. You have to either be a massive dick or space gandhi to get the most out of it.

MGS1's backtracking segment just really drags on.

Final Fantasy 9's battles take about 4 years to load.

The Smart Pistol and Arc Cannon in Titanfall

The Gamecube controls in the first 1 Metroid Prime games

The Glitches in Halo 2

Plasma weapons in loadouts in Halo 4

Super Metroid: Can't skip the missile tutorial that appears for every single missile upgrade. Wall-jumping is kinda janky.

Wind Waker: Perhaps one too many filler islands. Hard to say, as the game's biggest shortcomings involve things that aren't in the game, but could've been (a little bit more sea activity, perhaps, like storms, etc)

Super Mario World: Maybe some questionable (albeit extremely minor) level design elements.

The thing about my favorite games is that they're not really flawed at all—not because they're my favorite games, but because if a game has any flaws, it's hard to consider it a favorite.

I actually tried really hard to think of anything for Wind Waker. I don't even mind the filler islands that much tbh. Not every one of them has to be some big packed place with loads going on. If there's a little one with some dude on it with a telescope, neat.

Maybe the fact that the HD version didn't really need to look the way it did could be a flaw, I guess. The original still looks fine.

Warframe: Balance issues, powercreep, cheese to counter cheese and favoring new content over fixing current content.

CSGO: 64 tick servers

Dark Souls 3: Blackflame Friede

FFXIV: Where is the money going?

Spartan · January 09, 2018, 07:36:14 PM

There is no point to using Sharia in Xenoblade

Kid Icarus Uprising's Aurum chapters were filler

There's no physical/special attack split in Pokemon Emerald

If you mean the budget for the game, it's going up Yoshi-P's ass because it sure as shit ain't going into the game.

I've always found it more bearable on PC. Not good, but playable.

precision of the mouse will always help in clunky FPS titles simply because it's... well, more precise.

Doesn't really strike a negative in my book because I like quiet time sailing between islands

Most of the campaign missions in Starcraft have the same objectives making some of them repetitive.

The main story for Starcraft 2 is complete asinine, especially with that joke of an ending. Nova Covert Ops is good however.

There isn't a Lock/Strafe camera mode for Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando.

Most of the weapons and armor sets in Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal are suck ass compared to the previous game, Going Commando.

Juggernaut and Martyrdom perks in CoD 4.

Marathon/Lightweight/Commando perk combination in MW2 and One Man Army/Danger Close.

You need to buy the DLC to have good zombie maps in Black Ops 2.

The Nissan Skyline, Nissan 350Z, and Acura NSX aren't in NFS: Most Wanted.

The BR isn't hitscan and the netcode is aids in Halo 3.

A lot of cool shit was going to be in Halo 2 before being cut.

The draw distance in San Andreas is awful.

Titanfall 2 took ages to balance the more OP weapons.

I still dont know why nobody thought Tone was a terrible idea in development. It's like it was designed intentionaly to be the most busted thing they could think of, short of giving it an arc cannon and a Smart-devotion.

"Lets take the most meta chassis from the first game, give it the most meta weapon, but also buff said meta weapon by making it's hibox take up half the frontier, and adding homing rockets to it after every three hits, make one of the lock on's for the homing rockets free, and then also give it Particle wall so that it's guaranteed to utterly fuck everyone at range."

Ásgeirr · January 10, 2018, 03:27:21 PM

Damage tresholds in Dragons Dogma. Youll do one damage per hit unless you hit certain stat tresholds.
