Super_Slash 12/29/24 4:41:11 AM #1:	I can't stand it when an RPG has save points. This isn't 2002, let me save anywhere whenever I want. Even Golden Sun accomplished this, and that WAS a 2002 (?) game. Limited inventory space. Password systems that have ridiculously long, drawn out passwords. Mario Party AI. Enough said. Dialogue you can't speed up. This drives me insane, I always keep mashing the A button like if I just mash hard enough, it'll work. The Paper Mario TTYD remaster REMOVED this feature for no apparent reason. When a game has like 4000 side quests and almost none of them are worth the payoff. Stories that just drag and drag. M&L Brothership is a perfect example. When there's an optional boss, but to fight it you have to go through the entire game on an NG+ run to challenge it. I'll post more as I think of them. <cite>Super_Slash posted [p:983464317] in Little thi... [t:80909414]...</cite> <quote>I can't stand it when an RPG has save points.

creativeme 12/29/24 2:44:14 PM #48:	Super_Slash posted... I can't stand it when an RPG has save points. This isn't 2002, let me save anywhere whenever I want. Even Golden Sun accomplished this, and that WAS a 2002 (?) game. Password systems that have ridiculously long, drawn out passwords. When a game has like 4000 side quests and almost none of them are worth the payoff. for saving i think it's more so you can't softlock yourself since when you lose you go back to your save. but granted if you get screwed and have no items you can save scum and take a step and save until you get out of the dungeon. or just make it like pokemon games and you black out and exit the dungeon. but while we're on save points i kinda hate how most don't heal your character. for passwords it was all the coding needed to save your inventory. so those long ones make sense. but in games that give you a long password and all it does it start you on a level with nothing then yea i hate those ones. like wtf was the point? just give me a level select after i beat a level and let me start from there. definite agree on the side quests. especially when it's late game stuff and you get some crap weapon or gear that has been useless to you for the past 20 hours. --- This is a sig <cite>creativeme posted [p:983468472] in Little thi...

Mad-Dogg 12/29/24 2:49:38 PM #49:	Permanent missables with extremely tiny time-windows to get these missables with rpgs. It can be items, equipment, skills for your party members, extra outfits, or even cutscenes. No, this junk is not replay value to me and I do not feel like playing this like 80 hour game again to get this one rare weapon, skill, or outfit I missed 40 hours of playtime ago. With these kinds of missables I feel like I am punished since I don't actually like having my face plastered to a guide for missables while I am playing games constantly. --- GTag:MadDogg730 PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx NS friend code:5313-0564-0819 Go buy cyber shadow like right now. <cite>Mad-Dogg posted [p:983468528] in Little thi...

DrizztLink 12/29/24 2:49:56 PM #50:	When you have an inventory or Codex or whatever that highlights new items, keep the indicator lit until I scroll away from the item, not as soon as I scroll to it. Borderlands 3 cosmetics being the main example. They're organized in alphabetical order or something in a single column, and scrolling to the bottom highlights the very last one on the list. Ergo, unless you have a new one that is actually in that first set of visible cosmetics, you'll never actually know which one is new, because as soon as you can see it the indicator has disappeared. --- He/Him http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/9846/images/slowpoke.gif https://i.imgur.com/M8h2ATe.png https://i.imgur.com/6ezFwG1.png <cite>DrizztLink posted [p:983468533] in Little thi...
