1000 things you don't want to see in a game ever again

The chance I got to play the game I had a positive K/D for ever round, and I also have heard a LOT about the game from people who regularly play/played it as well as various reviews and article on it.

And being really good at a game (or not) does not necessarily mean its any good.

And Prestige, otherwise known as a *snip*-waving contest. What difference does it make for me to trade back all my weapons for a stupid picture? What's the point? Why do people think you're an inferior gamer if decide you'd rather keep your weapons instead of going after some cosmetic reward?

I didn't want to reply, but I just felt compelled to express my opinion on this.

I, myself, play CoD: WaW and I've played CoD: MW2 and CoD: BO at my friend's so I do know what prestige means and is. And when I play any of the aforementioned games, after I've reached the highest level and got all the weapons and maybe most of the "upgrades" too, I just feel that I want to start again from the bottom and work out everything again. It feels like a challenge to try to survive with the lowest guns for a while and then climb to the top again.

I bet consoles are to blame for your crappy opponents and your clearly superior skill too aren't they?
 
I see.

I'm not saying consoles or PCs are superior, but I've had it up to my neck of nerds arguing over which is superior. As a PS3 and PC owner, I enjoy the best of both worlds... Surely THAT is superior to arguing like a child over a machine.

No, you'd only enjoy the best of both worlds if you had a PC and a 360 :p

More irritating sandbox game AI perks (that I don't ever want to see in a game again:

Stupid Pedestrian AIs
I'm speeding down the street (on the lane closes to the sidewalk, and NOT on the sidewalk) and instead of a pedestrian AI jumping away from the street, they jump IN the street. Right in front of you. I don't wanna swerve out of the way, so kiss your artificial life goodbye, artificial moron.
Culprits: Saints Row, Saints Row 2, Grand Theft Auto IV

Stupid AI Traffic
When you stop in front of a red light, the dumb AI doesn't realize the light is red in front of me and tries to go around, usually either clipping the back of my vehicle or ramming into oncoming traffic. (Clipping my car will wind up with them kissing lead, because I never hesitate to put a fool on the ground).
Culprits: Every single sandbox game made (edit, except the Mafia series).

Useless AI Friendlies Revisited
I know the useless AI partner has already been mentioned, but boy is it relevant in every game I play. The AI either cannot discern the environments around it, or it does stupid noob mistake that forces me to take on a team alone. Seriously, Asoka? You are going to send all your troops across the world and have me take on a power that's 2.5x more powerful than I? This is more than them being more of a burden than helping you. This is about them being completely negligent about the whole picture.
In TES: Oblivion, whats the point of summoning creatures, if the bandits go around them. Seriously, my female pure mage Bosmer has only 60HP. 60 <snip>ing HIT POINTS! She cannot take more than 2 hits. Block those stupid war hammer wielding psychos from hitting me! Seriously. Can I get some <snip>ing help around here?!?

Whew, my mini-rant is over. It's time for me to go to bed.

Both Mafia and afaik Mafia II the AI respects speed limits and stop lights. I got quite a few tickets in Mafia from running speed lights and driving too fast (though there was a button you can press to toggle a speed cap so you don't exceed the speed limit).
 
I think he was referring to the AI's inability to recognise the player as another driver. When you're stopped at a light, they will ram you, ignoring your presence, trying to take your space. And I have never played a game that hasn't got this problem.

Ok, I retrat that statement.
Almost every sandbox game; I forgot about traffic laws in Mafia.
 
Also, in Simcity 4, the cars reconize you when you're in driving mode, and won't ram you if you stop at a red light (Of course, you are the mayor, so cops won't ticket or even attempt to pull you over if you don't stop or what not). Of course, driving is not the main focus of that game.
 
Most of them let you quit before loading the next map after the round is ended (such as when the scoreboard is displayed). You just have to wait to see your points and stuff in BC2.
 
TF2 is a main culprit for that, SimonL. It's tedious having to sit through the somewhat lengthy loading sequence just to press cancel. Even though there is a cancel button, it just doesn't work when you press it.

I want to see the end of, now hear me out here, FPSs. Seriously, this genre is WAY overdone and every platform has more than their fair share of first person shooters. It's got to the point where no single FPS ever adds anything to the genre anymore, developers just throw in more super awesome guns with wacky awesome super amazing kill sprees and explosions... Where's the intelligence and shine of good FPSs gone.
