All I can think of is the StarCraft's Terran adjutant. No body = no tits, problem solved.

The adjutants you see in-game, yes, but in WoL's campaign one can observe that adjutants apparently do have mecha-breasts that are just cut off by the "camera" in the normal portrait image. Why? Because horny dudes, that's why.

[Darkmere]

I have no memory of that part, but I'll take your word for it. Granted, I didn't like SCII much anyway so that probably had something to do with it.

Personally, I've never played any post-Westwood C&C or Red Alert, or Starcraft II, and I don't remember anything like that in Starcraft 1 or any of the Warcraft RTSes. Of course, Tanya was in Red Alert 2, and, judging by the image search results, still in 3 but with a different actress and hair color for some reason. vOv

She was quite possibly to told at that point, too expensive, not acting, pregnant, or what have you. Frankly I am surprised they kept Kane's actor.

Ehh some people just have large boobs.

The real measure is how the camera and physics handle this character.

If someone has large boobs but is otherwise treated like... they are just boobs and not "HOLY COW BOOBS!" then I find it acceptable so long as it isn't an epidemic of large boobieness.

Mind you a mother goddess having large boobs... is rather... mythologically correct. I do find it interesting that some of the depictions of goddesses would probably be considered "too much" today... Then I am also reminded of Frigyr one of the only male gods of fertility who is usually depicted naked with a large...

Is that the same as Freyr?

[Neonivek]

Whoops I mean Freyr

The Bait and Switch


Seriously games have been pulling the bait and switch on the player so much that it would be a shorter list of the games that actually does give you the big reward the game has been talking about.

And no I don't count some sort of paltry reward as a replacement. If it is a vault full of gold it should be full of gold. If it is an ultimate weapon it should be some ultimate weapon.

It has gotten to the point where I just ask people before playing games if I can actually get this reward the game is hyping up... usually to the answer of "Kind of" and "No"

and just as bad are games where you can get that reward... after it means anything.


Well our game is easy so we will make you jump through hoops

So... Croma Squad is easy... It is an incredibly easy game (that I should have done a letsplay on here... but give me a break my depression doesn't give me time to play bad games)... So easy in fact that in order to have one iota of difficulty every single map comes with a series of challenges you need to complete in order to do so. Really boring challenges.

I HATE IT when games know how broken, poor, or boring their gameplay is and try to cover it up by making you do something superfluous on top of everything to rack up the difficulty.

Don't get me wrong I can accept it if the difficulty stems naturally from the game environment in a game that is already good. Yet these games are either holding up their terrible gameplay entirely this way or are just executing it completely randomly.

That also sounds a lot like the Dead Money DLC for Fallout: New Vegas

[EnigmaticHat]

Multiplayer games that should explain something in bright letters on the title screen

Things like "use the mousewheel instead of right clicking" in Chivalry or "don't go spy if there's another spy on your teamn" in TF2.  Or just "look up a beginners guide before you play this" on every MOBA ever.  Common knowledge that large swathes of beginner players don't know, which makes them very frustrating to deal with.

Not saying its bad game design, but BOY is it annoying.

Actually why don't we just put MOBA on here

Honestly... MOBA might as well be a Pet Peeve with the amount of issues.

Right there. You have to read a GUIDE just to play. Not the instruction manual... a guide

[Sergarr]

Or rather, the default option should be AI control over almost every MOBA hero function (like creeping, buying items, shitposting in chat...) with human being able to overwrite AI's decisions, and with an option to turn various parts off.

Like, for instance if a person is not into figuring out the itemization, it would be nice if there was a way to keep that on AI control.

[Shadowlord]

That seems... Unlikely.

[MrRoboto75]

Smite had something like that.  You could have it set up to auto-buy items for you when they become available in a specific order.  You still had to give it a build to buy in the first place, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of default 'recommended' build.

Smite could do that though because the items weren't too "Special" all things considered.

And frankly playing enough Heroes of the Storm has kind of taught me how terrible the whole item game is. It is just another hoop a new player needs to jump through in order to have fun.

I think a shitposting AI would be the easiest way to pass the Turing Test.

Having played DotA2 and LoL then Heroes of the Storm, I felt thant the item game was lacking because it let you specialize your hero in a way Heroes of the Storm doesn't really.
And yeah, even if there are not that many "viable" builds for each hero, you can say the same thing with the talents in Heroes of the Storm.
