Things That Bother You About Gaming

I think my neighbors heard that groan...

I hate videogame jokes for that exact reason. They just never work outside of context or make sense.

I'm watching my father play Castlevania Lord Of Shadows and... it doesn't seem very much like a Castlevania game. It's pretty slow, there are way too many puzzles, no proper platforming, and the tone is so dry.

It just seems like a generic modern game to me.

If you want a proper 3D Castlevania game, play the first Devil May Cry. There's not a whole lot of platforming, but it's better and more faithful to the classics than any of that series' polygonal entries.

For a funny video game reference done right, see this cutscene from R&C Going Commando. Cracked up the first time I saw that.

When I first played the game, I got a good laugh because I always thought that Naughty Dog and Insomniac were pretty close, with both devs sneaking in references to their games and that was another fine reference to their friends. I still got a laugh visiting that scene again.

It's odd to say, but I think a 3D Castlevania game should take after Super Mario 64. The whole interconnected castle with action levels inside would work a lot better.

Oh yeah, videogame jokes in videogames are usually much better than in other mediums.

I also like that cutscene, the R&C games usually have some good jokes though GC and UYA are by far the best about it.

I actually don't know what the arrow in the knee joke is. Yes, I suck.

It's still not as bad as when people play games from the 90s and act like the controller is a driving wheel.

No, you rock. Just try to forget about that awful meme...

Yeah, I was thinking that was the case.

Speaking of gamer humor, I just wanted to say: the show Level Up on Cartoon Network is the worst shit ever.

I have yet to find it within myself to stomach an entire episode.

It might honestly be worse than Out of Jimmy's Head. I mean, even I didn't think that was possible.

I watched bits and pieces of one episode.

I hated it.

Oh Christ, Prey 2 might be switching developers. And the last time a Bethesda-published title switched developers, the game was given to... Rebellion...

Killing Floor players have pestered Tripwire to add a playable female character to the game for years. Well, they finally are, and the only way to get her is to buy the entire game again. No patch or DLC; this character is exclusive to the special edition. This special edition is being released 3 years after KF first came out, meaning that any of the 1 million+ people who already own the game and want to play as the new character will have to pay another $20+ just to do so.

This doesn't really affect me since I will never play as anyone other than Mr. Foster, but this stunt is still pretty insulting to their currently existing (and relatively large) fanbase, IMO.

EDIT: And internet rage prevails once again!

Why do people care so much that the Wii U likely won't be as powerful as the PS4/Nextbox?  Shouldn't the less power than PS3/360 Wii have already taken that argument and shoved it in their faces at just how wrong they are?  I don't understand people writing it off, when we've been shown time and time again that it simply doesn't matter.
