I think I'm the only person who actually liked Rusty Bucket Bay. It was my favorite world in BK. Tough, but I thought it was really well designed.

I didn't mind RBB too much but on my first playthrough, that boat propeller Jiggy was one of the last ones I went for and I already had like 90 notes. It didn't end well haha

That's just poor design, tbh. I think I had an issue like that in God of War 1 where, to top it off, my disc might have kept freezing the cutscene.

Those types of pseudo cutscenes where it's not really a cutscene but you just have to quietly walk alongside your companion so you guys can talk or whatever. You can't ditch them because you'll fail the mission, but they won't move any more quickly either.

Probably most notable in Ass Creed or Red Dead.

...then I'll reunite with my friends and pretend like we all kicked the final boss' ass even though I was the only one in the same dimension as said boss and all they did was stand around and circlejerk to my awesomeness.

Hello, Resident Evil 4.

I actually really like the idea of a self-adjusting difficulty level, but generally, I dont wanna feel like the game is taking it easy on me because it apparently thinks I suck. I want to conquer that section myself.

Follow sections where you can't just lock into them and let the game walk for you at the slow miserable pave the NPC goes while not shutting the fuck up.

me too. especially when they have lousy AI and do nothing to avoid getting hurt by the enemy. at least give me a option to tell them to stay in one spot while I fight off the enemies.

I really hate it when your walk speed is slower than them and your run speed is faster. immersion breaking, as you keep having to speed of slow down to stay close.

is that game worth playing? when people started hating on it, part of me thought that the hate was simply "its not megaman" but I can't say for sure since I haven't played it myself.

once I heard it didn't do well I stopped paying attention. I didn't have the money at the time to just toss around on games I wasn't positive i'd like. hell i'm not even the biggest mega man fan. its fun to play once in awhile though
