I didn't know people got mad about those messages but the fact that I can drop a message to piss spergs off in dark souls does improve the game for me

to contribute, solitaire is dragged down by the fact that sometimes you spawn with many aces and sometimes you spawn with few. I have a very ace-dependant strategy and I find different spawns can have devastating effects for my campaign.

The original main antagonist shoots you in the head over a platinum chip that was purposefully sent out for delivery in a confusing way to mask it's location.

If you don't find that to be an engaging starting point for a story, you must really hate stories that don't spoon feed you an antagonist and protagonist like a sub-YA novel. Even YA authors have stepped up to include antiheros, revenge plots, and non-altruistic motives to fuel stories for over a decade

Revenge driven storylines are very mature and will not be found in sub-YA novels, as it takes a mature man to truly understand the intricacies of getting back at someone who hurt you.

Nerds get worked up when you call Obsidian bad because they think storytelling in videogames is the highest form of art and when you explain to them that videogames are intended for kids it forces them to look inside themselves.

I've been playing the poo poo out of Borderlands 2. I love the game dearly, but my only gripe is that there are points in the game where you just get absolutely swarmed with enemies and can't do anything but keep going down and hoping that you can get one kill to get back up. The Leviathan battle and Lynchwood are prime examples. The sand worms/rats just keep coming (and in the case of the sandworms, keep respawning) and they annoy the hell out of me. They would probably be slightly less annoying if I wasn't playing as Zero, but still, Christ, Gearbox, have the sense to tone down the difficulty a bit.

I'm playing with my buddy and unfortunately this just seems to get worse and worse as the game goes on. We're on ultimate vault hunter mode now which just consists of enemies that are bullet sponges unless you slag them while you get instantly downed in 1 shot because enemy damage is so stupidly high. Almost wish the DLC wasn't all included since true vault hunter mode at level 50 was pretty enjoyable.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Deadlift, Deadlift, Deadlift. Jumps around constantly so it's hard to hit him, has attacks that are almost impossible to dodge and murder your lovely low-level shield in one hit, and a ridiculously strong shield of his own. I could only beat him by hiding in the alcove by the entrance and using Nisha's auto-aim skill to unload on him whenever he was close enough.

I'm also hating how long it's taking me to get a third weapons slot.

Why they thought he would be a good early boss fight, or boss fight at all, is beyond me but holy crap what a terrible game I will never beat

I though the MGSV mission "Lingua Franca" was pretty poorly designed. The premise is that you get hired to extract a prisoner but don't know where they're keeping him so you have to follow an interpreter to find out where he is. On the surface it doesn't sound too bad but in practice it becomes a huge time sink as you just kind of sit around watching the guy through your scope waiting for him to slowly walk somewhere. It's made worse by the fact that he doesn't just go straight from objective to objective and instead will just kind of wander around the mission area.

I put him on a balloon, miller yelled at me, and then I ran around the camp shooting and interrogating people until I managed to find the guy. Sounds like you need a lesson on how to metal gear

The checkpoint system really is terribly annoying. I managed to sneak all the way into a huge enemy base, picking up a whole bunch of good soldiers along the way and preparing C4 on a number of generators to cover my eventual exit, only to be spotted some 100 meters away from the final objective. I end up reloading the checkpoint, and it puts me back a full kilometer outside the outer limits of base, probably something like 30 minutes of gameplay ago.

I pretty much beat a mission, cleared the base, took all the goodies and poo poo and then BAM fell off of a deceptively high cliff. Half an hour of progress gone because apparently clearing a whole loving base isn't a good enough act to warrant a save

Half the" bosses" in MGS V are encounters with some group of bullet sponge enemies. Of the remaining bosses, one is a lovely puzzle boss while the other two are actually good but two good bosses in a 50+ hour game is kind of trash.

indie games are dragging games down because they're all pretentious and/or poo poo that is excused for being poo poo because it's an indie game. For example, the september PS+ game grow home looks really really bad and has framerate issues somehow and is really goddamn boring but it's an indie game so these criticisms are not valid

Gwent gets a lot more complicated once you move on from backwoods poo poo farmers with their level 1 cards.

I liked Gwent and it really doesn't. The winning strategy is just to get as many cards as possible and overpower your opponent with your wall of cards. This involves playing as many spies as possible and decoying the spies and playing them again and then medicing the spies if you can and playing them again. Past a certain point it becomes impossible to lose
