Generally Accepted Gaming Facts

[Varanfan9]

When one console does it and the others don't its called a gimmick but when the others finally do it its called innovative (Move and Kinect.)

1)In RPGs people will allways try to fight you, despite the fact that you have proven your skills as the best character to ever walk the earth by killing everyone in every city everywhere.

2)Jump is useless if it is not a platformer, it is just for making the journey from point a-b more interesting.

3)no enimies means the game is shoddy or you are about to be ambushed.

4)there are about 3 glitches out of 10000 that aren't benificial in bethesda games

5)in RPGs, you just keep all your inventory in a parralel universe where it materialises on demand in your hands/ on your body/ in your stomach and it still takes up inventory space for some reason

A stab to the foot is always more powerful than a bullet to the head *glares at CoD*

1. Move character with left analog stick/WASD.
2. Move camera with right analog stick/mouse.
3. Everything Atlus touches turns to gold.

I agree with this, especially 3.

[2012 Wont Happen]

Everyone's favorite part of a game is doing escort missions through a water level?

 

[RelexCryo]

QTEs suck.
Escort quests suck.
and finally, bad controls are not an acceptable substitute for actual difficulty.

This^. Also, people will always claim that being forced to run away is more horrifying in horror games, despite the fact that humans can't outrun any of our natural predators, and we evolved to kill them with spears instead-meaning your chances of outrunning a demonic creature are even lower than your chances of killing it-which in turn means that being able to outrun a demon monster thing hurts immersion.

-You will NEVER catch 'em all

If you don't count all the games, back in the day when that phrase was first started, I had all 151, from legitimate catching and trading. So, at one time, I had caught'em all.

Same.. in 1999 on Pokemon Blue.. Then when I went to a track and field meet at another school someone went through my bag and stole my Green GBC, Pokemon Blue and LoZ: Link's Awakening. Though they did take the batteries out of my GBC and leave them in my bag >.>

Hi Brownie!
