What are some game mechanics you HATE?
>reloading the gun makes you lose the extra bullets in the magazine

>>715783013 (OP)
Weapon durability. Might as well just call it the antifun mechanic.

Is that Ayumu?

>>715783013 (OP)
>parrying
>open world game with sprinting that costs stamina
>unskippable tutorials

>>715783013 (OP)
Infinitely replayable "quests".

>>715783013 (OP)
Yeah the tossing half full mags is fucking gay. True realism would have you hold onto it.

One of the few things i liked about dayz, where you could double tap to just straight up drop the mag out the gun rather than do the whole reload animation of taking it out and putting it in your pocket, then pick it up again after the shootout

>>715783013 (OP)
I hate the souls mechanic with corpse running. It's either really frustrating when you're new to the game and getting used to it because you're punished for dying and failing to get it or once you're decent enough to the game, it's a pointless mechanic of where you can rush to anywhere in the map avoiding the enemies. Notable examples of this are Hollow Knight and Nine Sols.

What's its like being the gayest retard to ever live?

>>715783013 (OP)
Limited inventory slots. I don't want to manage a virtual bag, just let me play the fucking game.

>>715784412
That title should be reserved for other people. Like idolfags

>>715783334
>parrying
based. positioning based evasion > rhythm slop

>>715783084
no game has done it right

>>715784780
It works if its actually limited like resident evil since its of actual consequence but weight systems like elder scrolls never add anything you're just forced to spend 5 minutes sorting through shit every 2 hours

sync animations

>>715784780
This but also weight/encumbrance. Get that shit out of here.

>>715783013 (OP)
Hold inputs rather than single presses.
I instantly loose respect for the devs and their lack of interest in their own work.

>>715783013 (OP)

>>715783013 (OP)
>game tracks bullet loaded in the chamber separately
>if you reload without a bullet in the chamber, the game won't allow you to immediately reload again in order to have the extra bullet available

>>715783013 (OP)
Crafting. It's not fun in any game and I don't understand why developers like it so much.

>>715783013 (OP)
God I wish it were socially acceptable for me to dress like that

>>715783013 (OP)
>game is like real life

>>715783013 (OP)
Ayumu-chan what do you like?

>>715785561
whta game has done this?

>>715785706
Crysis 2 comes to mind immediately.

>>715783013 (OP)
>1 second animation whenecer you pick something up
Why must you pad this shit out?
The problem is so small but it adds up after 40 hours of playing.

>>715783013 (OP)
Any mechanic where it takes a certain amount of real life time to make it work. Just stop with this shit.

>>715783013 (OP)

sickening honestly

>>715784923
Dead Rising does a good job

>>715783013 (OP)
weight 99% of the time
its only interesting if theres no fast travel and an theres an actual threat of losing progress

>>715786939
it's still tedium but i concede since dead rising is a great game

>>715783084

>There is always that one enemy that does nothing except spam it

>>715787356
How else are you gonna add challenge to a jrpg?

>>715783013 (OP)
when you magnetize towards specific enemies with your attacks in actions games

>>715783013 (OP)
>reloading the gun makes you lose the extra bullets in the magazine
this is actually based. why does reloading exist as a mechanic in the first place if it's going to be fucking mindless and meaningless?

>>715787423
the console game special

>>715787485
exactly, I dunno what OP is on about. Re-loading a firearm obviously remove the cartridges that are in the magazine that you are removing from the firearm. It makes perfect sense. I always enjoyed games that accurately represented this feature, such as Vietcong and Arma.

>>715783013 (OP)
>Health bar changes color/health text changes font size if your health isn't full
>Only three enemies on the screen/engaged with you at once
>Hitscan projectiles
>More than three inputs to use a consumable
>Boss runs away halfway through your combo
>Heavy attacks are only slightly slower than light attacks and have much more damage/impact as well as hitstun so there's no reason to use light attacks unless you like tickling enemies to death

>>715787704
I remember DSP becoming angry at Witcher 2 on KB+M because it always tries to hit the enemy you aim at with the camera, so he constantly got frustrated since he never learned to move the camera during combat
And to be clear, that game still has magnetized enemies, just that Geralt tries to go for the one in the middle of the screen

unpopular opinion: every game should have infinite ammo capacity
you can still have limited clips/magazines so that you have to think about your reloads, but no game is made better by being able to run out of bullets entirely

>>715787910
welcome to mass effect 1
i'm still mad

>>715783943
>Yeah the tossing half full mags is fucking gay. True realism would have you hold onto it.
The gay feature is where you reload, and the remaining bullets in the magazine that you removed get magically added to a "pool" of remaining ammunition. The good way to program this would be to have each magazine be its own separate "pool" of ammo.

>>715787910
Games that focus on resource management should have limited ammo, DESU

>>715788016
>you now remember that they had a system in place in ME2 that is actually accurate to lore (infinite ammo but you can eject a thermal clip to cooldown faster) that you can activate with a mod
>but they took it out cause playtesters found it too complicated

>>715788016
fuck dean takahashi for ruining mass effect gun play.

>>715783084
Durability is only a problem if you're an ADHD retard.

>>715788120
hahahaha I forgot that the famous Cuphead video is by the same guy who somehow missed the skill menu in ME1

Fucking Stamina bars, fuck off with that fucking garbage, I want to move to my heart's content like in DMC and Ninja Gaiden, eat shit

>>715788095
>you now remember that they had to redo their map design philosophy in half life 2 because playtester(s) couldn't navigate through a simple tunnel
>you now remember why red/yellow paint was prevalent

>>715784923
Fire Emblem does it well.

>>715788235
qrd for somebody who never played it?

>>715788095
>playtesters are too retarded to understand they can choose between reload or wait 2 seconds to cooldown gun

>>715788164
bioware even contacted him to how they "improve" ME2.

>>715787910
That's ridiculous. I'm a gun realism fag, I think there's no game that has done guns entirely right.
>Guns should sometimes jam
A real gun will fail to "feed", i.e. a cartridge will get stuck in the action, causing the operator to have to manually remove the stuck cartridge
>Guns should overheat
Guns invariably generate heat, to the point where they become un-usable. This might cause a "cook-off" where cartridges inside the gun explode causing the firearm to break apart
>More realistic recoil
Guns in vidya seldom have proper recoil. This has become such a meme that handguns are often more accurate than long rifles, which is topsy turvy. Generally speaking, the heavier the gun and the longer the barrel the less recoil and more accuracy. The only game that somewhat got this right was Red Orchestra 2.

>>715788398
>get the drop on an enemy
>gun randomly jams
>die
>reload save
>do the same thing again
>this time it works
What does this add to the game?

>>715788398
red orchestra 1 did it pretty good
had a mechanic to swap out the barrel for certain machineguns after overheating

>>715788398
note how you can have all the mechanics you mentioned while still keeping infinite ammo :)
thanks for confirming that gunfags are fine with infinite ammo

>>715787910
lil baby full of skill issue can't even aim properly lmao

>>715788469
Haha, yeah. It's crazy how often that happens in real life, though. A good solution might be to carry a backup firearm.
>>715788510
Yeah I loved that feature.
>>715788525
I think infinite ammo is retarded ... Unless let's say you're dealing with some weird experimental alien weapon or something. Or swords haha.

>>715788469
Chaos.

>>715788591

>>715788317
He is lying.

>>715783084
Durability was done well in star wars galaxies desu

>>715788510
I never even did it in ro2 because 99% of my bullets weren't even aimed at something

>>715783013 (OP)
Puzzles of any kind. Especially the 'where the fuck do I go?' Kind of games.

>multiple hours into game
>new gameplay mechanics still being dripfed
SOOOOOOOOOOO many games do this endless tutorial bullshit in a blatantly desperate attempt to forcefully draw out what little gameplay they actually developed.
>fifth time around the Monopoly board
>"now let's introduce how to buy a property..."
See the fucking stupidity?
Just give me the game and let me play it.

gu my beloved

>>715794536
I guess I'd have to judge it on a case by case basis, yes it's pretty stupid if it's shit like "ok you can now hold the jump button to jump higher"

>>715783084
>item durability
>balanced around multiplayer so everything is made out of paper mache rolled in shit
DayZ and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

>>715794630
That's not "stupid", it's called getting stronger. You're not allowed to think that that's bad game design. It's something that most games do to some extent.

>>715796435
*thinks that's bad game design*

>>715796463
Why?

Parry mechanics in games that dont need them

>>715796682
looks fun

>>715796739
Then play dance dance revolution youll love it.

>>715796682
Games are still mindlessly copying Sekiro yet still don't make their parries anywhere near as satisfying.

>>715783013 (OP)
It's actually a good game design element because it makes you think twice about reloading instead of doing it everytime out of habit

>>715793727
Yeah, it's pretty shit having to wait several hours before you can start playing the real game now that everything is unlocked.

>>715784412
parrying is bad because 4chins told me so

na nigga suki?~

>>715783943
>>715788027
that's fucking so simple it's genius, why don't other realism FPS games do that

>>715783943
I never played DayZ but Tarkov did it the same way. Playing with my buds was great because we'd cover each other while we reloaded mags. Laying some cunt out with a full auto burst while my friend was distracted in his inventory always made me feel useful

>>715787769
>>Health bar changes color
Oh this just stabs you in the autism does it?
Like 100% hp is green but if you get chip damage and it's 99% then it's an awful yellow, right?

>Mana pool with a limited amount of non-rechargeable consumables
If I play any game with a magic system, it's because I want to cast spells and watch shit happen, not carefully dribble out fireballs while I desperately try to conserve mana that I may or may not get back in the near future. Games should have limitations around the ways in which you cast spells like duration, or have consistent ways to get your Mana back, but you should never feel like you're wasting a resource by using the fucking spells you specced into in the first place

>>715797712
>nooooo you can't just have balance, every class that isn't a spellcaster has to be 100% obsolete!!!

>>715783084
I like weapon durability. Stop using the same weapon all the time.
