Whoever decided that “hold to interact” was to be the new default needs shot.

It works when building tension, or even for showing a character putting effort into an action, but when I need to hold a fucking button for 5 seconds just to have random junk magically teleported into my pockets, it kills my want to interact with the world.

Fuck you, David Cage. I don’t think you’re the progenitor, but you certainly abuse the shit out of it as a mechanic, and your reign of terror shoulda ended with Indigo Prophecy.

To be fair, the first 3 hours of Indigo Prophecy are absolute kino.

I always thought David Cage pieces were movies that accidentally had games inserted into them

i also don’t love the new default of unskippable animations for trivial things. no, i don’t want to see the same animation every time i go to pick up a plant, craft an item, skin an animal, etc. i’m going to skip the activities if i can’t skip the animations.

i have a similar disdain for inventory/shop menus that don’t let you sell/move/craft things in bulk

I recently replayed Arkham Knight and the way you’re handling those toxic containers, requiring you tu be very slow and careful while everything explodes around you is a perfect example of this done right. Such a great game. Shame there wasn’t a spin-off sequel to that.

I like the Borderlands approach where clicking interact would put it in your inventory, holding interact would either equip the item if it was equippable, or else pick up all the pickups around you if it wasn’t.

I’ve stopped buying EA games when they turned Battlefield 2 into a pay-to-win game back in the mid-2000’s. But I remember distinctly how bad EA was with those stupid unskippable splash screens. My guess is that they’ve never improved, from what I can see. What’s the point of those anyway, other than annoy your players and make them hate your company?

Battlefield Play-for-Free. Horribly cut down and butchered version of a great game.

It was my first Battlefield game and I had so much fun with it

Why don’t games have playable credits?

Let me play the tutorial and show the obligatory Unreal and whatever logos during it like in the movies

PCGamingWiki is a great resource that includes instructions on skipping intro videos for every game that it’s possible to do it with.

I honestly like games opening logos, I think they are really cool… not with unskippable cutscenes tho
