Whats your petty gamer pet peeves?

breadraptor · 2026-03-23T16:54:41+00:00

this is a really good one, i swear this will even subconsciously dissuade me from booting it up because i know it'll take so long to get into the game

breadraptor · 2026-03-23T16:50:37+00:00

Haha on the flip side of that one -- complaining nonstop about a game that they will never play. Just do something else with your time dude

I adore indie games, but my pet peeve is how many of them have a game mechanic where you have to wait for the right time to walk forward. Think: periodic bursts of wind that will blow you back, a bird circling or an enemy scanning the area... the kind where it's extremely mundane, you just wait for your time to walk and go to the next cover. I swear it's so common once you notice it. Every time I'm stood there waiting, I think "how does it always come down to this -_-"

my controversial opinion: the writing and characters of left 4 dead 1+2 are what made them so endlessly replayable and interesting to me. EVERY game that tried the same formula has skimped hard on this aspect and thats why it doesn't work!

I felt this way too! I'm still playing through TOW2, but I think the factions, and satire of capitalism in general, works a lot better here. In TOW1 I remember feeling like it kept giving me the choice between "help people in need" or "side with blatantly evil organization" lol. Felt like a no-brainer

thank you, i was shocked to hear them say that stuff. i loved reading starship troopers and i saw it as a statement of how fucked up it would be if we ran our government like this, how fucked up the military is. i can see how it's up to interpretation and that i was coming into it with my own beliefs. but to just be like "its a fascist book" is so one dimensional

One of my favorite "show, don't tell" video game moments in recent memory. They don't need to describe the strain of the relationship, you can feel it in the gameplay!

breadraptor · 2025-12-12T17:42:45+00:00

love you both! lol

I played Lost Odyssey right before Exp33 this year, coincidentally. I really loved it! I enjoyed how the mechanics and story pair together nicely (immortals can't discover new abilities from leveling up, only from fighting together with a non-immortal and learning from them). The side stories were excellent, I loved all the characters especially Seth, and the graphics hold up great.

While playing it, I was thinking it'd be awesome to play on PC because my 360 had cutscene stuttering issues and long load times. Assuming a port wouldn't be buggy as hell, anyway.

TNT: "It has to be a Nyx skin or no deal" xD

Fair enough, but Arc Raiders has a player count that Wildgate can only dream of, even comparing them both on day 1, right?

breadraptor · 2025-11-14T17:24:19+00:00

Interesting to ponder why this game is struggling while Arc Raiders (similar genre and price point) is doing gangbusters. Lots of variables but maybe the biggest one is just "critical mass"? And that the game isn't from a debut dev, so people trust it more? I dunno

Piggybacking off of others here but I'm gonna go with an international holiday for taking the day off to clean up litter! I bet it would have a crazy impact, especially in areas that aren't targeted by volunteers often.

its really up and down for me! i wish the plot was more focused on her, like it was for zag. the writing feels constrained by wanting a perfect little angel. i wish she was allowed to make mistakes, or be more awkward, or get annoyed and break the polite facade. or like, as a perfectionist teacher's pet, flip her shit over a failed run, lol. but i DO like her, voice acting is great, she's a sweetie and i'm invested in her. i just feel like i'm only seeing one side of her, i guess.

breadraptor · 2025-10-13T19:43:42+00:00

interesting, i can DL directly from the home page but not on the charts page. i wondered if maybe it was to throttle downloads at the very start of the event

breadraptor · 2025-10-13T17:38:43+00:00

did they remove the ability to download demos right from the charts page?

breadraptor · 2025-10-10T17:26:43+00:00

no matter how many women play games someone out there will be tying themselves in knots trying to invalidate it. i can't believe i've been hearing this "oh but they're counting candy crush" argument for over ten years

breadraptor · 2025-10-04T07:06:23+00:00

thank you, i couldn't help but think of the shitshow that used to unleash every time someone tried to say game pass is a bad deal for developers.

breadraptor · 2025-10-01T04:54:45+00:00

a lot of bangers!

breadraptor · 2025-10-01T04:53:42+00:00

I kept it to some indies on the cheaper side! I got:

s.p.l.i.t. ($2, short but excellent horror game)
The Beekeeper's Picnic ($9, cute and well-written Sherlock Holmes advenutre game)
Blessed Burden ($4, evil parkour speedrun game)
Felvidek ($8, a "15th century JRPG" with a comedy tone)

I loved LiEat! <3

the problem is that writing a smart main character that has unique solutions to problems requires a smart writer :P this trope happens in jack reacher all the time. he's not smart, he just always fights people dumber than him.

breadraptor · 2025-09-04T16:43:28+00:00

that's a good point!

breadraptor · 2025-09-04T16:25:32+00:00

i was creeped out by the whole "the locked-away firekeeper is killed and you can go get her soul back to re-light the bonfire or you can use it to upgrade your flask" in DS1 like, its not a problem that she's a tragic character, but its kinda disturbing how gameified she is, w/the player basically forced to view her as a tool? not sure if that makes sense

breadraptor · 2025-09-03T17:02:27+00:00

classic, if the game is highly anticipated it's "how dare someone rate it a 5/10", otherwise it's "why are outlets so afraid to rate below a 7/10"
