Double jumping. It honestly breaks immersion for me when the character I control rebounds off the air. A single jump with variable heights depending on how long you press the button makes more sense.

1) Evil kinds of magic, especially ones which are heavily demonized in the games lore being acceptable to the game word when they don't play a part in the plot.
Blood magic evil you say? Make a deal with a devil in Dragon Age, become one, make your party members, especially those who hate it Blood Mages as well = nothing said.
Reminds me of how novel that made older games, like Everquest) (most of all early in the games history) where if you were a Necromancer, Shadowknight or other evil race large swaths of the world were hard to get to and enjoy because you were killed on site and any local bankers refused to give you their services. The continent of Faydwer was all good so you needed a porting class to take back to evil lands to let you sell and bank.
On the other side being good was also an inconvenience, but slightly less so, but was mitigated due tot he fact that the best early dungeons were in evil lands. That became such a huge issue with the Sullon Zek server that the Evil faction dominated the game through the servers entire life.
They made this go to the extreme with the Iksar race where you were KOS to every other city outside of your continent unless you spent a massive amount of time working up faction, and even then, that was only an option open to a few of the classes available to Iksars.
2) Area of effect abilities, most of all magic ones since it's so over represented within most games abilities list which leads to casters becoming the OP class/build.
3) Stunlocking since it and AoEs just play into making game player faster and thus less tactical.
Lock picking should be the speciality of a rogue-type, but it should be just that: Something they're really good at doing, not something other people are unable to do.

My friend if you want more than decent martial arts combat just get Sleeping Dogs. It combines this Batman Arkham City like combat to a third person open world game. Oh and by the way yes you can slow down time by jumping over objects while having a gun out but yhat's optional.sanquin said:

You play as Walter H White, a highschool chemistry teacher stuck in a rut of mediocrity and underachievment. You gradually progress through levels taking out minor league meth dealers and using applied chemistry to complete missions including body diposal and methylamine theft. Chemotherapy powerups let you trade health for recklessness and luck.
After defeating the first boss 'Tuco', you are granted the PorkPie, a hat that transforms Walt into the great 'Heisenberg', granting you perks like 'GravelThroat', a skill that turns any sentence into an intimidating one-liner capable of bending NPC's to your will; and 'The McGyver' which allows you the ability to complete extraordinarily difficult tasks using simple household items. Also, as Heisenberg you can upgrade your AOE attack from phosphine gas to fulminated mercury and then in the final stages, homemade car-bombs as you progress from taking out low level criminals to mid level distributors and onto cartel Dons and Kingpins.
ability to somehow not be able to use certain windows and doors and be unable to fathom busted down a door.
I kind of meant it to be focused around character abilities, yeah. Sometimes the powers granted to the player leak into over-arching gameplay elements, but I was trying to be more specific. Otherwise this thread would probably derail pretty quickly lolRaeshkae said:
But I will agree that CoD's respawn tactic is really annoying, especially on higher difficulties like Veteran.
I despise double-jumping. It makes me mad every time I see it. The only time I've ever accepted double-jumping was in Mechwarrior, or other giant-robot games, 'cause at the very least it can be described as:debtcollector said:
Jump #1: Physical kickoff from the ground with the mech's legs
Jump #2: Propulsion-assisted "Jump Jets", a quick-fire jet-pack for additional air time
Then it's not so much rebounding off the air as it is waiting till you're at the height of your real jump to activate your thruster pack. Such reasoning is why I let it slide in the new Transformer games, like Fall of Cybertron, because it could be explained as such (I think you can even see the the little flame jets coming out of their feet when you double-jump, if I recall correctly).
