1. Button mashing. God of War 1-20. yeah there will be that many sequels just wait you'll see. Cronus will have to get it one with every goddess and monster in mythology. If it's a myth did any of it actually happen?
my thumbs thinks so.
2. Fighting games masquerading as adventure games. How much suck would Tomb Raider have been if in the middle of the game it became a side scroll version of mortal combat. Injustice- I'm talking to you.
3. Sequels that have nothing to do with the original other than the cover art or concept.
The Force Unleashed. Srsly awesome game with insane button mashing that totally killed my mood and then changed the entire SW continuum. If you disagree play the second one to see total suckage at the end. It's like suddenly everything lucas touched sucked bum- don't believe me? Try the last (and by gosh I pray the last) Indiana Jones movie.
4. Games that just get worse with each sequel like no one can figure it out. does this dungeon look familiar?
Yes it was in Wolfenstein 3D in 16bit color. enough said, if there is enough bullets no one will notice.
5. Awesome games that end suddenly as soon as they are getting good. Battle for Los Angeles and Homefront and Call of Duty and Medal of Honor and that aforementioned Star Wars game and Republic Commando. By Jove the list goes on and on. But hey there is multiplayer where a bunch of stupid tweeny boys can pawn you and talk smack even though most of them would get shot in the first 5 seconds of a real firefight.
6. MMRPGS where you spend all day farming a piece of leather just to improve a skill that won't actually help you out. WOW, I am talking to you. What is the point of crafting if it doesn't actually give you an edge after 4th level. What's worse is that every frikking Fantasy and Sci-fi game has it as if people in RL or hell even the movies spend time improving metal crafting or leather working or gardening.
7. Games that sell you stuff for real cash. Gamers call this buying your way to the top. Believe me the suckage is complete. Nothing I like more than grinding my character up to a point where I can finally join a raid group and meeting the 3 newbs who bought their characters on eBay.
8. Nerfing. Whoops that gun/character/class/ability is too powerful so instead of reducing it they rob it of every reason you spent the last 72 days of actual game time to get it.
my thumbs thinks so.
