unfortunatley I dont see it slowing down...only getting worse, I mean I dont mind "online" activation then it leaves me the fuck alone...but "always" online (while there hanvt been many cases of that) I feel might become a "thing"Dr. Pepper Unlimited said:
and who do we blame? the pirates or DRM? its just a vicious circle with no clear answer in sight
I dislike how if I like something like Dragon Age 2 and point out all the technical flaws it fixed coming from DAO, I'm considered tasteless casual trash.
I also dislike how gaming nowadays is "YOU ARE THE PLAYER CHARACTER." It feels like such a cheap cop-out from making believable, non-GaryStu characters that aren't just cameras with mannequins attached to the bottom.

......seaquels.....BAMredeemer09 said:
haha no I'm actually kidding, some of my favorite games are seaquels (even "the man" himself likes games that are seaquels)
nah the ONLY problem with seawuels is when they dont know when to stop...so then they reboot and EVERYONES happy
but yeah hating a game "just" because its a seaquel is beyong stupid...like "hipster" level stupid
like "ohh portal 2 was OK but quite frankly inferior to the original...it was too long and not "perfect" like the original one".....to that I say go play your bloody indie games
this is a grey area...and there are exception to this rule I came up withxXCrocmonXx said:
I say EATHER make the charachter a decent charachter (as in go all out with personality) OR give us some room to work with so that we CAN feel like the PC
good example: Fallout 3, saints row 2, mass effect
BAD examples: Brink, Dead space (I liked issac clark anway though) oblivion (before I get flamed, its because you have NOTHING to work with, you can be what ever you want but the game isnt going to acknolage it)
my reasoning is we simply arnt all white males
then again I do latch onto charachter that are voiced quite easyly
The days that I just fail at everything completely.
Nothing makes me rage more than one of those days that just everything fails. That I can't hit the broad side of a barn when sniping in TF2, when every time I join a server in BF:BC2 I get on the team that's loosing horribly, when I just get to the grindy boring bit of an RPG, etc etc.
It's worse when it's also a day that I really want to game for once, haven't played in a bit, but the games are all like "Nope! You can't game today!"

He wrote down "sequel" just fine, yet you write "seaquels" not once but twice? And you're from Australia where English is the native language?Vault101 said:
The following trends:
Multiplayer over singleplayer
Gameplay over story/ character development
"Accessibility/ streamlining" i.e. dumbing down.
If it weren't for games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Thief 4 (too little info at the moment though) to keep me interested I would prolly quit gaming altogether.

Racist, homophobic misogynists.
Grey-brown-o-vision.
Console wars.
Consoles vs PC wars.
People putting mediocre games on a fucking pedistal. (Black Ops comes to mind)
People thinking no dialogue means no characterisation. (Metroid: Other M was a big offender)
People who don't think about things enough in general. (not limited to gaming by any means)

Or if it didn't take four and a half hours to complete the game, and are expected the many other hours to come only from multiplayer since there was fuck all replayability in the main game; the main sufferer of far too many FPSs which could have been good.Esotera said:
There are so many things wrong with the gaming world right now, I've more or less rage quit. Me and my mates will spend a few hours doing random cases on LA Noire, or playing Warthog tag in Halo now and again, or spend a few hours hunting in Red Dead or making our own gametype things in random games (I.E. Six star wanted level which must be maintained in GTA4, and make your way from the top of the central island in Liberty City to the bottom without using any vehicles, including taking a taxi, train, etc. And then spice it up by havoing to destroy at least one chopper, five trucks, and ten police officers: officers, not SWAT members, with headshots only.). But we spend a majority of our time doing other things.
Gamers.
Ha!
Also, and this is mostly RPG-specific, but dealing with the leveling up tomfoolery, deciding which stats to put my points into and whatnot. I flat out refuse to do it in tabletop RPGs anymore. It's not fun. It's tedious.

I have many bugbears when it comes to gaming, though the order in which they run in tends to change on any given day. But amongst the biggest of mine are...
1.) Headsets.
Every Tom, Dick and Harry on the '360 has one, which includes a lot of whiny pubescent children who spout racial and sexualised obscenities every two seconds. But seeing how they are doing this in their own house - why haven't their parents chastised their little darlings for having a mouth that'd make a docker blush. Still, the mute button is always a button press away.
(Plus it is kind of fun to hear them complain when you kill 'em.)
2.) DRM / Activation.
I know I'm not a PC gamer, but I feel compelled to speak out against it purely because it's incredibly unfair on them. They treat every gamer like a complete criminal when it's just a very small number of people who's doing any kind of piracy. Come on Publishers, knock that shit off!
3.) Elitism / Console or PC Bashing.
It's just plain immature, can't both sides simply agree to disagree with each other then live and let live. I personally don't care which side is superior or inferior. As an ex PC gamer, I see the pros and cons of both - the individual will buys whatever suits them best.
4.) Commercialisation of Gaming.
I know gaming is an industry, but the nickel and diming that goes on between the developers, the publishers, the retailers and the public is getting out of hand. Everyone needs to accept the life cycle of the video game and the publishers should stop bitching about second hand sales. IMO.

I suppose I have a few things.
1) People bitching about 3D and motion controls. You don't ever NEED 3D to play a game, and motion controls can be super fun with the right games.
2) People obsessed with story. Now don't get me wrong on this, story is nice, but it's never NEEDED. I mean hell, tons of people still say that Ocarina of Time is their favorite game, but seriously? The story can be summed up in a sentence or two.
3) Realisim. It has places it should be, and that is not games. I am thanking God that Black Box doesn't make me pay my medical bills every time I fly off a cliff in Skate 2.
4) Super long stories. Like I said earlier, a good story is welcomed, but don't make it too long. If someone gets too bored, they won't finish the game. Instead give a metric ton of side content.

I think you're giving far too much credit to the people that run the industry. That's definitly not how they advertise each generation when they're trying to sell them. They pretty much talk about graphics and size.Hammeroj said:
Oh, when you sarcastically insult people your opinion becomes invalid. Frowned upon here.
edit: I dislike the poor sportsmanship that comes with playing any competative game.
As Yatzhee said about Portal fans I will say about CoD,Halo,etc.
"Well,it's got the worst fucking FANS in the world!"
So yeah,the little swearing children piss me off like crazy.

Anyway care to elaborate on that blizzard comment? I think their 'it's finished when it's done' mentality works very well and some people who release overly buggy games could learn from it.
Another thing is the lack of 'couch co-op' even in games where it would be very easy to do. It used to be one of the big advantages of console games was that you could play the game with your friend right there in the room. Though I guess it's more profitable if everyone buys a copy of the game.
You've done well. I didn't mean to be quite so blunt in pointing it out but I was genuinely looking out for you.Shiny Koi said:
While I understand the OP stated that he/she owned the game this is not the place for that kind of request.
Any link to a torrent tracking website will most certainly get you a ticket out of here, fast. I'm quite surprised you didn't receive any mod warnings, I am glad, I'd much rather give someone a heads up than report a new-ish user who probably isn't aware of the legitimacy of their actions.
I generally reserve that treatment for the jerks that bandy about with needless insults.
A CD-Key generator absolutely fits the definition of piracy, I'm actually rather bemused that you don't seem to be aware of that fact...
A Cd Key is a unique license, they're not just silly letters and numbers to be thrown about to the
