What do hate/don't like the most about the gaming industry Lately?.

I don't like the fact that if a game company make a game in the japan or usa, and its sell well, then decides to make a sequel , but the sequel never makes it outside japan or usa... you just wasted my gaming experience for part 2!.

Whats yours?

Paying for multiplayer online gameplay. That's why I stick with nintendo.

I also don't like paying for dlc, they should give everything right from the beginning. If they want to add dlc later then it shouldn't cost anything since you already bought the game.

CoD. I hate it with a passion. And All the Wannabes Gamers that appeared thanks to the gaming becoming more and more mainstream

All the stuff companies make you do before you can even play your own friggin' game. Take "Trials evolution gold edition"...one of my pickups on a steam sale. By itself, it's certainly a fun game. But here's what youtube DOESN'T show you...

me: hmm...this game looks fun. I'll play it. :)
me: *clicks on 'install' in steam and goes of while it's downloading and installing*
<later>
me: all right...let's play. :)
game: performing installation of directx
me: yeah...just like all other, and more recent, games that do exactly the same. It's okay. Go do your configuration thingy.
game: now downloading uplay...from the slowest server on the internet
me: eh? I bought this game on steam. And where are you installing the thing anyway (as it turns out: it's on my c-drive...which I want to keep to pretty much just the OS)
game: now installing uplay. See this progress bar? It'll install THAT slowly.
me: are you kidding me? This is a brand spanking new pc. why the hell is it going to take LONGER THAN THE FRIGGIN' INSTALLATION OF WINDOWS ITSELF???
game: I'm not telling you!!!
me: *sighs* *goes off to play some solitaire*
<later>
game: now click here.
me: jeez...finally...some action...
game: now updating uplay
me: are you kidding me? why the hell did you just (okay...20 minutes ago) download an outdated version of yourself? and what was all that "installing" thing, then?
<more time passes>
game: please log in with your uplay account...or register for free!
me: aw, FUCK! Just...you better be good, game. Or else...!
me: <registers...fiddles with mail...the whole thing>
game: you can now play trials evolution gold edition
me: am I supposed to say "thank you" right now? :angry:
game: now updating trials evolution gold edition
me: AAAARGH!!!!

I don't get it. I really don't. The game itself is something typically to play when you've got a few mates over and you're all drunk as hell and want to have a laugh. It's kind of like CLOP but with better graphics. It's fun and hilarious at times*...but all that shit surrounding it really messes it up (I played it yesterday for the second time...it AGAIN needed a lengthy download for no reason whatsoever). Oh, and if you idle too long, you're no longer connected to the server and your COMPLETELY SINGLE PLAYER EXPERIENCE can't save the medals you've earned anymore.



*I don't often hate the character I'm playing because he's a complete dolt, but this one is a noticeable exception. At least the programmers feel the same way and humiliate or downright kill your character at the end of each course. :P

Can't say I can get behind that OP. If a game did not function as a standalone exercise then how could it have been a good game?

More content being made for a game is bad now?

Because being a gamer was hard to begin with? That sounds suspiciously like "OMG casuals" and my policies on that are known.

Anyway the piss poor nature of game industry accounting (their attempts at Hollywood accounting make me say "aw, look at the kids"), the piss taking nature of jobs within it ("but you are working in a magic entertainment industry"), the piss poor nature of the academia surrounding it and the piss poor nature of games journalism (not that more mainstream journalism has all that much to be proud of these days but the gaming stuff can not even seem to get the fundamentals down, just to be clear though I am OK with bias).
Now I am not sure what quite feeds from what but it all combines to make a horrible community surrounding computer games.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
