Complain About Games
« on: January 06, 2011, 01:40:05 pm »

Since people always seem to bitch and moan when you complain in their threads about the game the thread is about, I figured the next best idea would be a thread where they NEVER HAVE TO LOOK. If you don't want to see a game you like being complained about, then don't come in here.

So, feel free to complain about games from now on. :p

I've been playing Pirates, Vikings and Knights 2, and I'm noticing a trend in terms of win percentage. All three factions seem to win equally on booty maps (where you steal chests from other teams), despite the most common booty map being one that starts the Knights at a 200% handicap to the other factions. The way the gamestyle works allows all factions the ability to win.

But, in the other game modes, it seems to go Pirates > Vikings > Knights in terms of win percentage. I suspect this is mainly because pirates have a pair of units that have rather power special attacks (compared with the sucky Knights specials and the decent Viking ones) and have long cooldown weapons that are ridiculously powerful when brought into other game modes, whilst still having relatively powerful normal attacks, too.

No one who regularly plays those teams seems to admit this ("lol noob no wai fagget" etc) except for a select.

My question is: How can the development team (which is admittedly a modding team but eh) fuck this up so badly? Do they only play booty wars or something? It's easy to tell, straight off the bat, that blasting kegs that destroy other players entirely are a bad idea in map modes with single lives, especially when they don't do friendly fire. Oh, whatever.

Now it's your turn, ladies and gents! Complain about games to us! :p

You seem to be sucking up all of the possible topics of discussion and putting them into singular threads..

I hated how they added hard to get hats with stat bonuses in Team Fortress 2 and then made them easy to get by spending money.

Fire Emblem 7. The PRNG. Great story, decent gameplay, but I've never seen number generation so desperately in need of a rewrite.

Also, Hat Fortress 2.

How about you, specifically, stop making threads?

Hmm...

I don't like how Dwarf Fortress doesn't have a fancy UI.
I don't like how Minecraft doesn't have dragons.
I don't like how Garry's Mod doesn't fix me coffee in the morning when I'm snowed in.
I don't like how Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup doesn't hold me at night.
I don't like how the evolving artificial intelligence I made just spits out random letters, eventually learns how to sort of speak, and then doesn't understand how stupid it really is.
I don't like how Braid isn't in 3D.
I don't like how Super Mario Bros. for the NES has 8-bit graphics.
I don't like how Legend of Zelda games tend to be wide open yet somewhat linear.
I don't like how video games that I play don't come with exactly the kind of music I like.
I don't like how the flash games on Newgrounds never wanna give me up, never wanna let me down, never wanna run around and desert me.
I don't like how everyone just lost THE GAME.

...
...

Wait. This thread is for real? Alright. I don't like how I can't really play TF2 online without Steam. Even though that's not really a legit complaint.

Yeah what the hell, he's just making threads for people to talk, quit being dicks.

Also I kinda dislike the way nearly all modern FPS' are the same in at least one aspect.

Same with MMO's.  Drives me nuts that we have so many near identical looking MMO's.  That is one of the reasons I have so much respect for CCP for making something as unique as Eve Online.

EVE! <3. Although I hate the mining on there. That shit is ridiculous, until you start doing it in nulsec areas. Then it becomes tense and rewarding.

Otherwise, I dislike how some of the guns in the new COD multiplayer are win buttons. It's near impossible to beat an AK-74u holder in any sort of firefight.

I succumbed to temptation and got myself an AUG. I feel kinda bad, but I've dominated several games.
