Things That Bother You About Gaming

[Eddy]

I finished RE4 and didn't get any slowdown issues at all.

That said, Capcom got REALLY lazy when it comes to the Seperate Ways bonus game (which was added to the PS2 port of the game). They didn't bother upping the cutscenes to HD quality, so they're noticeably blurry when compared to the cutscenes of the main game (and Assignment Ada). I suppose it's worth noting that the cutscenes in the PS2 version of the game were pre-rendered, not in-game like the GameCube and Wii versions were, so the Seperate Ways cutscenes were video files. Still seems pretty lazy if you ask me.

Reading an IGN article on how Angry Birds is apparently bigger than Mario (something that actually may not be them talking out of their asses, but it's still blatant flamebaiting on their part) has got me thinking; how in the hell did that game become so damn popular?

I get that the fact that it's virtually free has to do with it's popularity, but whats with all the multimedia stuff? Plushies? Board games? T-shirts? And even talks of a TV show and movie? C'mon.

A lot of people have i-phones (or any other touch-screen electronics that you can download video game apps on) these days and probably have way too much time on their hands to boot. That's why.

Simplicity. Same kind of appeal Mario has honestly, except Mario's supporting cast has way more personality than anything to come out of Angry Birds.

I'm fucking sick of Angry Birds.

I actually thought that Angry Birds was an interesting game, but it did get old fast.  I still have it, as well as the sequel "Seasons", on my phone, but I haven't played either one in months.

[Spark Of Spirit]

The biggest problem I have with Angry Birds is that the creator is an egomaniac and he simply reskinned an indie game and made millions off of it.

The game itself, I have no opinion on either way.

Oh Activision.   

Show of hands, who's genuinely surprised by this?

Seriously, can I just Gameshark that bitch?

So, anyone else thoughts about Catwoman being a playable character in Arkham City if you only buy the game new? Why would you lock off a main character who was advertised as a playable character from the get-go? This isn't playing Batman with the 90's toon look or any of the other pre-order skins. Also I heard that there are a few things that Catwoman is required to do to get a 100% in the game.

It's despicable. Doesn't really affect me since I'm getting the PC version (the stupid delay does, though), but it's pathetic when publishers do that kind of shit.

[Rosalinas Spare Wand]

Another brilliant tactic from WB Interactive.

Its almost as good as EA's little stunt with Battlefield 3 and its requirement of Origin.

This shit is so fucking stupid. I can't believe there are actually people who care about how a video game based on a comic book portrays women.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Their fucking thugs. Do these morons who write these articles know that not everyone speaks like they do. Thugs and villains repeatedly calling a woman who steals from them a bitch makes complete sense given their general nature, vocabulary, and....the fact that they're fucking villains. I mean what the hell else do these people expect? Do they want bad guys to call her a "respectable female figure who dresses up in skin-tight leather clothing representing the feline species" over and over again, instead? I swear, some people just like to complain about anything. Fucking dumb-asses, the lot of 'em.

This is the dumbest shit since RE5 was called racist. I didn't know steroided up convict killers were supposed to be respectful.
