So, for your reading pleasure, here are a bunch of things only gamers will understand that really grind our gears.”

Lack of regular autosave is a bummer. I'm playing Lego HP with the kids and you can't just turn it off whenever and it saves your progress, you'll often be glued to the controller for an unwelcome half an hour plus while you get to a recognised save point.

Weapon degradation can F off too. Never a good thing, why would it be.

CoNn3rB586d ago

Weapon degradation can be a fun mechanic if done properly, for example it really fits well in Metro Exodus but more often than not you get it in games like Breath of the Wild where it takes away from the experience.

I've become increasingly intolerant to literally ALL of those things LOL.
The problem is that people have voiced their distaste for all of those but developers double down and continue to include em as features rather than admitting they're a problem.

Weight limits when carrying items in massive games where almost everything can be picked up. If some gamers want a sim experience with weight limits that’s fine, but can others who don’t like it just turn that feature off? Have wasted so much time just moving items to chests, etc while managing inventory.

CoNn3rB586d ago

First mod I often install on any game is one to remove weight limits

andy85587d ago (Edited 587d ago )

Missions that force you to walk. I hate them. Or walk with someone. And weight limits. That's the only thing that's annoying me with BG3.

CoNn3rB586d ago (Edited 586d ago )

The one that gets my goat is NPCs that basically won't shut up until you move forward. I wanna look around an area without hearing "over here" for the upteen time in a row.

Bonus points for annoyance if it's an RPG

Where is the time going, this is 2 now? Also, RE4 remake and Diablo 4…

Putte22d ago

Absolutely not the best Star Wars game. That's Star Wars galaxys. Survivor isn't even that good

Becuzisaid22d ago

Not sure I agree about Galaxies, but I definitely think the Jedi series is not the best.

Sonic188122d ago

So what's the best Jedi series?

Becuzisaid22d ago

@Sonic I was meaning the Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor games. Not the greatest.

If you're wanting to know what's the best series with Jedi in it? I mean KOTOR, Jedi Knight, Jedi Academy, Force Unleashed off the top of my head. Even the Episode 3 tie in game was pretty decent.

xHeavYx21d ago

Not a huge Star Wars fan, and only tried Jedi Survivor because of PS+, but I really enjoyed the game to the point where I'd pre-order the sequel.

Fonsecap22d ago

Good game, terrible performance.

jznrpg22d ago

I loved the game but hated the issues. I waited over a year to play it and it still had major issues. I would have went for the platinum but with all the save bugs and other issues I didn’t even think about it

Sciurus_vulgaris22d ago

I’ve played both Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor. I think the games are good not great.
