Criticize Something You Love

[Poetic Nova]

STALKER cant tell its interesting story in a coherent manner. Buggy as fuck and obviously at times unfinished.

Good thing that there are the reclamations projects! That fixes atleast the bugs part. Though I still wouldn't touch CS.

You are actually talking to one of the people working on STALKER Clear Sky reclamation

*BTW, next version is great... like a new game basically*

Shame that I don't like CS. Still remember the mess that was trying to disable godrays. Though I really like the amount of fan support the games are getting.
If I kept SoC only with official patches I never would gett satisfying performance when using DX9 settings, which I luckily can with ZRP. Not to mention the dozens of other tweaks you can set to your liking.

That said, need to play it again when I have a good mouse.

Skyrim - NPCs feel dead and the side quests are a joke in comparison to games like The Witcher 3. Most mods, probably 85% and over are all lewd / sexual if not Rated 18+ because that's what we wanted in our vanilla open world game apparently ....

This. Dozens, if not hundreds of NPC's and only one I actually cared for. A vampire no less and I despised vampires in Skyrim.

Nintendo: The whole Youtube let's play thing, free advertisement!! Let people show of your games!
And the whole WiiU marketing thing was quite a farse, but's almost 3 years ago so...

 

[Poetic Nova]

Put them on Low. And you are done

That's the thing, it wouldn't let me without messing with the file that stores the settings. And that was after using a (earlier) version of Reclamation Project. That's now over a year ago, if not longer.

 

[lord canti]

Sorry,but she was still more useful than almost all the other female characters in that show. Not to mention I think she had possibly the most character development in the series. not thats saying much in general mind you,

Alright ... *cracks knuckles* let's do this.

Rules: We're going by the biggest achievement each girl has done. The minor / helpful things can suffice, but i'm focusing on the major parts. Remember i'm having fun with this, so don't think i'm trying to shoot you down or anything lol.

Ino: Possessed Obito long enough to steer Juubi's omega blast away from Naruto. Had she not done so... our hero, who is one of the only people able to save the world- would of died. He didn't have any Kyuubi chakura left to avoid that nuke.

Hinata: Allowed herself to be captured by Toneri in Naruto the Last Movie in order to stop his plans. She led Naruto to the vessel's location and combined her power with Naruto's to destroy it. The vessel controlled the moon's rotation in which Toneri was going to drive the moon into the Earth. In other words, Hinata prevented the moon from crashing into Earth.

Temari: Helped the Shonobi Alliance stand a chance against Madara. I admit, she didn't really serve much purpose but the fact she survived and managed to lead on is quite impressive. She got a lot done in Naruto Part 1 but that isn't as significant as the first two girl's achievements.

TenTen: Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .... .... she captured the Sage of the Six Path's weapons but never really used them to save the day so ... she might be 'as' useless as what I claimed for Sakura.

Tsunade: Served as Hokage for the Leaf Village but that's a role so it doesn't count. However, she helped every other Kage fight against Madara, managing to break his Susanoo. Although this didn't really stop him, it showed her will power could overcome the ultimate defense. That and she used her healing abilities to get the Shonobi Alliance back on their feet when Madara, Obito and Jubi were wrecking crap.

Every other girl is quite as you said, useless or not on par with these girls. Sakura is a 50 / 50 take on whether she's useless or not.

I'm not impressed with her beating up the Jubi's monsters. Naruto and Sasuke had that covered. She DID help stop Kaguya from escaping, so that Naruto and Sasuke could seal the ultimate villain. That might be her greatest achievement but it's also kinda meh ... simply because Naruto and Sasuke would of eventually had her if they sped up.

HOWEVER. Sakura was super useful in Naruto the Last Movie, being a great adviser and insightful friend when Naruto needed support. She alone is what helped Naruto stay motivated to rescue Hinata, and also led him to infiltrate the base on the moon. Seeing her act so mature and informative with rightful knowledge surprised me with satisfactory. Without her, the movie would of felt out of place or even ... fell apart. She also gave birth to Sadara whom is an awesome female Uchiha so there's that.

While I admit she played more useful later on, it wasn't until the series nearly ended. Everything else, she needed to be rescued, or hardly did anything to provide the team with efficient help. Although she did, with Chiyo's help- defeat Sasori. I wished she had more moments like that but otherwise she didn't do much until far, FAR later when the manga series was at it's end.

Truhtfully, I've yet to see the last movie and honestly really have no desire to after how disappointed I was in the ending. my comment is more based off how tired I am of people claiming Sakura was truly useless. The first biggest thing she has going for her is that she defended and unconscious Sasuke and Naruto by herself for awhile against three sound ninja. Secondly, she had a hand in defeating the first member of the akatsuki clan.but if we're going for biggest achievement, then I'd have to go with her keeping Naruto alive long enough for him to get his god powers after madara was able to pull the kyuubi out of him.

edit: Igonre the part with her beating Sasori since you already addressed it.

TF2: Needs a whole bunch of stuff. Like why after 30 minutes of playing, why I usually get booted out of servers for a few hours? Why did we abandon MVM? When the hell are those maps getting out of beta? Why do all those paint jobs look unappealing? Is there any possibility of introducing female skins for the mercs too? Please.

I remember way back when people wanted Valve to put female versions of the mercs in TF2, with the most common counter-argument being "it will distort their silhouettes!".

WELP
I GUESS YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT THAT
VALVE

I don't understand this thread. From my experience on the Internet, any criticism directed at something means you hate it wholeheartedly.[footnote]Do I need to add "/sarcasm?[/footnote]

Soft drink (A.K.A. Soda, pop, stealth sugar storage containers): So much goddamn sugar and the diet/sugar free drinks often don't taste too good.

Xbox 360 and TV:The only reason I have the Xbox is because my friend didn't use it anymore. It has no HDMI port and my TV doesn't have regular inputs for non-HDMI devices. I needs an adapter for SD and HD component inputs, which I couldn't find and had to borrow from friends.

This really was much harder than I thought it would be. Witout including people, I can't really think of anything I like that I have a valid criticism for.

Mechanical pencils with .35 mm lead. On the one hand, you can make some of the most extremely fine and neat writing and drawing, on the other hand you'd better be wearing eye protection when you use these things because you will break the lead and you will do so frequently. And if you poke yourself in the finger without retracting the lead (so glad that the rOtring and Lamy mechanical pencils do this automatically), you will draw blood.

 

[Battenberg]

Resident Evil 4 - most the boss fights are a bit crap and the cut scenes are cheesy as hell (although I actually kinda like a bit of cheesy daftness in my cut scenes).

Borderlands 1 - too many filler quests and the ending sucked. Seriously, screw that ending.

Dead Island - too many things to list really, I'm honestly not sure why I enjoy that game so much.

 

[Nazulu]

Super Metroid: A proper final challenge would've been better

Nostalgia Critic: Makes too many forced jokes when making fun of those movies so many believe are bad as fact even though they can never prove it

2001- A Space Odyssey: Some scenes are too slow, and some of the loud obnoxious sounds are really loud and obnoxious (though I would never want to change it)

Coca Cola: It's probably shortened my life

 

[SweetShark]

I will cover some games I gave 10/10 score. Even for me are the perfect games, I am not ignorant to forgive some flaws they have:

Dropsy [Windows]:
- At some point you will get confused where you need to go, cause of the lack of direction. You will lose value minutes only for that.
- Even if a story is present, the real story is very well hidden for the very curious players to find. This maybe is frustrating for players you want a 100% clear story and conclusion without to need to "work" to find the clues.
- Short for a 2D Point n' Click Adventure game. You need 8 hours to finish it all with the sub-quests.

Freedom Planet:
- Expect some grimdark moments in the game. If you are a Sonic fan and you expected a "safe" story, I believe you need to play the arcade mode to avoid it.

Shovel Knight:
- Sometimes its difficultly change drastically for the worst. Especially at the beginning.
- In the game sadly there is no any kind of indicator where you must look for the remaining important secrets you forgot to collect.

Odallus: The Dark Call:
- The very last boss of the game, is a giant difficulty spike. Beware.

Hand of Fate:
- Very repetitive at some point. Looking and hearing the same person for the whole time, it maybe become frustrating for many players.
- Many useless cards without any kind of reason to use them ever again.
- The enemies you fight are painful unimaginable.
- Luck take an important role in the game. You will need it a lot at the end of the game.

Copy Kitty - Turbo Edition:
- Its visuals are very dated sadly.
- It have a very interesting lore, but sadly it is not part of the main game. It hints some things of course, but we need to see a sequel for that I hope.

Orbital Gear:
- No many players.
- Some weapons are better than others. So you can always can have the overpowered/useful weapons at the very beginning.

Kero Blaster:
- Short in comparison with other similar games.

The Blackwell - Epiphany:
- You really need to play all the previous games of the series to feel indeed this game worth your time and money.

Final Fantasy XII:
- The story is so predictable, it make me hurt.
- The protagonist is unlikable and very girly.
- Some sub-missions need you to fight a boss for a loooooooong time.
- If you finish many sub-missions before you get to the main game again, its difficulty become a joke.

Shin Megami Tensei - Persona 4:
- If you want to see the real ending of the game, you need a guide. No, I am serious. It is so well hidden you need a guide.
- The fighting isn't so exciting as the social part of the game.
- And once again you must use the same f*cking Demons all over again with some few changes.

 

[Twintix]

Waffles
-So delicious, but why must you be so filling? I want to fill my tummy with more than just two at a time! T_T

Milk chocolate
- Destroys my teeth and hardens my arteries. Also gives me pimples.

Soda
- Ditto.

My mom
- GOD, JUST LET ME HELP YOU WHEN YOU NEED HELP INSTEAD OF WHINING ABOUT HOW NOTHING WORKS!
- Workaholic to the point of constantly overbooking herself and neglecting eating (sometimes) and sleeping. Then she complains about how the 5-2 diet doesn't work for her. Gee, I wonder, could it be because you don't eat the assigned lunch because you "don't have time" and instead snack on chocolate in the car between meetings?
- Mood swings. No, Mom, the whole world is not out to get you and not everyone want to purposefully get in your way. Sometimes I think that she intentionally takes offense to things because she wants to get angry.

My dad
- Default mode: Grumpy.
- Man of action, not of words. He's bad with words, is what I'm trying to say.
EDIT: - Stop interrupting me all the goddamn time. Could you let me finish my sentence just once without feeling the need to cut me off?

My brother
- Can be a bit of a hypocrite when it comes to emotions. Process: He gets pissed off at me over something trivial --> I snap back --> He gets super-offended and asks what the hell my problem is. Thank you for confirming that people think that everyone in the world except for me are allowed to get angry.
- Fitness geek. He's on the hunt for "the perfect body", and honestly, it reaches levels of silliness at points. Not to mention, it's a diet that he himself has invented. Sometimes, mom and I are worried that he might have an eating disorder. But at least it's not as bad as when he was 13-14, where he wouldn't even eat food if there was salt in it. Spoiler alert: He eventually got the worst cold he's ever had due to his immune system being knocked out. After being force-fed milkshakes, he immediately became better.

Video games
- Distract me when I really should be doing other things.

Let's Plays
- Ditto.

Nintendo
- Your stance on Let's Plays is not cool, yo. Like someone else said, it's practically free advertisement! I bought Fortune Street because of The Runaway Guys' playthrough of it, and I don't regret a thing!
- Your console advertisement campaigns are subpar at best.
- GIVE ME A SEQUEL TO ELITE BEAT AGENTS!

Paper Mario: Sticker Star (OH BOY, THIS AGAIN, ARE YOU TIRED OF ME TALKING ABOUT IT YET?!)
- The main game mechanic made fights pointless.
- Sudden difficulty spike with some bosses. Cannot beat the final boss. Like, what the shit, dude?
- Kersti sucks. Navi's annoyingness should not be a fairy companion template.

 

[Saetha]

The Pendragon Adventure book series: It doesn't matter how much I want to convince myself otherwise it doesn't change the fact that the series was obviously written for teenage girls.

Speaking as a (Formerly teenaged) girl, I'm not too sure about that. I remember having some rather negative feelings on them.

Soft drink (A.K.A. Soda, pop, stealth sugar storage containers): the diet/sugar free drinks often don't taste too good.

*Slams down Diet Coke* You take that back, sir.

 

[Nyarlantothep]

Morrowind: scaling is a little tedious, as I'm currently replaying it. It requires me to either exploit some mechanics to win some fights, other go on my way and return - which is bad, given the fact that there are lots of quests in which you do this.

 

[Creator002]

Soft drink (A.K.A. Soda, pop, stealth sugar storage containers): the diet/sugar free drinks often don't taste too good.

*Slams down Diet Coke* You take that back, sir.

*quietly thinking* God am glad I decided to not stick with what I was originally going to say about their taste.

 

[Zen Bard]

Skyrim - If I have to go into one more cave/crypt/tomb and kill one more draugr...

Diablo II - How come that other Necromancer can teleport but yours can't?

Doctor Who - Would kill the writers to at least crack open ONE science book?

guitar - Having six different ways to play the same note makes it challenging to play sheet music written for other instruments.

Star Trek:TOS Movies - All that time you had Shatner in the cast and you never once gave him an opportunity to do this...

 

[Gordon_4_v1legacy]

Mass Effect 3: I love you, but my God the hour or so between leaving Earth and going to Menae was frustrating as balls because regardless of difficulty level it's still a damn hand-holding exercise.

That is what you didn't like about Mass Effect 3? That? Not, you know, the half-dozen enemy heavies that will insta-kill you if you are with 30 meters of them? Oh, looks it's a mutated Asari/Krogan/Rachni... and I'm dead. Oh, look, it's an Atlas mech, let me just Biotic Charge... and I'm reloading another save.

Nope, never bothers me; you see in the Alliance they don't say "Personnel Shortage" they say "Cross-skilling opportunity". It is a wise Biotic class that takes a power like Energy Drain, or a tech class that gets in on Warp Ammo for their bonus skill.

 

[SuperScrub]

Let's see...Ah Journey (my favorite game of the 7th console generation) is short and at times feels just a tad pretentious, and the snow level really isn't something I like playing through.

GTA San Andreas (one of my favorite games of all time) runs out of stuff to do once you complete the story missions.

Avengers 2 Age of Ultron While a very respectable movie in it's own right even compared to the OG Avengers, it felt...lacking, not lacking in that I'm not going to buy it later this week but lacking.

Fallout 4 teaser trailers (please don't kill me) I'm pretty sure that Fallout 4 is going to be a very god game it's just that the trailers are giving me an impression that this has the potential to be Far Cry 3 set in the Fallout verse rather than a Fallout game.

Monster Musume- There should be more development on the main guy backstories (where does he work? Where are his family) and the monster girls too.

Monster girls? Okay. But the main guy? He's not fascinating. He's a good character because he's the straight man to the monster girls. He's not that interesting in and of himself.

True but I guess I used to seeing harem guys like Tenchi (but in saying so that is the only haren show I had watched to the fullest). At least with Tenchi I learned that he was just a student and can do farm works while in Tenchi in Tokyo he was studying to be a Priest or something like that. Oh and he has royal bloodline aswell.
