People who play a game like LoL and don't stick to their designated team role. I see so many damn "tanks" dive in every chance they get and then whine when they get instantly exploded because the rest of the team didn't follow up on their telepathic signal. Guess what, morons, that's not a tank's primary role. Your role is to peel the enemy team off your team's squishy characters so THEY can survive long enough to deal damage. What you're doing is playing a bruiser, and if you're going to do that, pick someone like Xin Zhao or Vi, not a dedicated tank like Amumu or Leona.

I guess I haven't noticed that too much... Then again, I'm a n0b who does Co-op vs. AI, and I usually play with a friend of mine.
But I can see how that would get annoying, especially if you're more into PVP.
Well? Are we going or what?

Plus I play support a lot so that probably compounds frustration since I'm the one that gets blamed when teammates die. Sorry, can only do so much when you're being suicidal.

And fortunately, in Ragnarok Online, when I did group up with people as a mage or priest, the group knew any Swordsman, Merchant and maybe even Thief class goes to pull monsters, Mages and Support stay in the camp place. And as the priest, keep yourself buffed, then your party so you know when your buff goes down, the others are about to do so, too.

Also, quit being Ace Trainers 95% of the time. I'm sure you think you're totally awesome, but if you get over yourselves and pick a trainer class that doesn't have shit special skills, maybe people will actually WANT you to be their Secret Pals.

That same problem happens a lot in TF2. For instance, I often see people playing as Scout or Heavy trying to pick off enemies from a distance, when that's clearly a Sniper's job.

Eh they give you a pistol, that's reasonably long ranged and reasonably accurate. More bullets shot at the enemy > less bullets shot at the enemy.
Just so long as they aren't staying still and trying to snipe with a pistol. Fire as you go Scouts.

>Amumu should not engage
>Leona should not engage
>we need "bruisers" to engage
>not knowing a good initiation when you see it.
Here's how a good teamfight goes
Tank initiates
Tank TANKS the spells
team FOLLOWS UP
Enemy team has no spells
enemy team wiped out
There are 3 types of damage dealers in League
There is BURST, DPS, and TANK
BURST > DPS
Burst destroys DPS before they can get their full damage out
DPS > TANK
DPS can continuously do damage, without long cooldowns, meaning there is never a point when it is "safe" for the enemy
TANK > BURST
A burst is like a cannon, it was ONE POWERFUL STRIKE and then it needs to be reloaded
A tank can absorb a cannon, what else does a burst have after their kit is gone?
Nothing
If a tank can absorb that ONE STRIKE then you win
So yeah, Bruisers should do the peeling, tanks do the engaging
900 games as Wukong jungle, I am the Tank, I am the instigator, I AM THE ONE WHO ENGAGES

That's Microsoft Shilling at work, not anything Square thought was a "good idea"
They'll do ANYTHING to make the Xbone sell, including getting on their knees for a top quality third party producer like... Square.....

Also, could say the same, how dare Microsoft obtain exclusivity for the first IM@S game just to try to sell the 360 in Japan? Bad enough that they were allowed to do that, since they edited out the fact that Ami and Mami have Gameboy Advance consoles because IT'S NOT OUR CONSOLE ZOMG NO DELETE DELETE! SAKUJO!

If they're free, I don't mind. Roll and all her costumes were technically DLC for Mega Man: Powered Up, but they were free, so all you needed was wifi to get them. Considering how ridiculously difficult it was to unlock Proto Man, I'm glad they eventually made it to where you could "download" him too.
Another thing that bugs me is when various aspects of a game are exclusive to certain consoles, like console-exclusive playble characters. What if I own one system, but I like the exclusives on the other console better than the ones they gave my console? It's just not cool.

It's a fucking color swap, someone went into photoshop and took the color tool, selected the costume and brushed it over with the new color. Why do I need to UNLOCK that?
A regular, real differences in appearance costume like a new design, that I would understand having to unlock. Yet funnily enough, Hyrule Warriors just GIVES me those. Oh sure, new costumes I can have instantly. Color Swaps? Nuh-uh, you gotta work your ass off for those. Especially on the Twilight Map where your character should be Level 150+ so they can decently survive this shit.

Y'know...I can hear the anger in you writing this but all an all...that seems perfectly fine as a random unlock. Seems the norm in gaming for ages actually.
If you had to go shell out money just for the costume and download it THEN I'd understand a bit of anger but unlocking colour swaps through gameplay seems a tried and tested mechanic...especially for the "Warriors" style of games.

But they are! These color swaps are only available if you bought the DLC packs!
When I bought the Skyward and Twilight Princess costumes, I got those immediately and that was just the corresponding game's outfit for Link and Zelda. Strangely enough, when I bought the Master Quest DLC, Lana and Cia got new outfits and those were available as soon as I started the game post-download.
The color swaps from those DLC packs (or, in the Termina Map's case, Masks... fucking MASKS) for the characters I HAVE TO UNLOCK VIA GAMEPLAY! I don't get it. Why the hell do I have to work for color swaps? If I got actual costume changes via playing the game, ones that change the appearance, I wouldn't mind. Look at Dead Or Alive, I can unlock a good dozen costumes for majority of the characters by repeatedly playing through Time Attack or Arcade mode. But there, it's okay cause it's always an entirely different outfit (some are color swaps, yes, but for the most part they are different outfits).
Here... I PAID to download this into my game and THEN I have to unlock it by walking through the damn Adventure Map AGAIN to get to the right square where the outfit will be AND make sure I have the goddamn correct ITEM to use on that square so I UNLOCK that damn outfit AS A REWARD.

Well no...you didn't pay JUST for colour swaps, you paid for maps for more gameplay and additional characters with some costumes as unlockable bonuses. A few costumes you do get for free with it but the small colour swaps you need to unlock and aren't advertised with the DLC.
There's a few costume changes advertised. However as someone who's got DLC for this game before you they GIVE you the advertised costumes upfront when you pay for DLC.
So no...you did NOT pay for colour swaps...they are an added bonus, and since the dawn of time are small things you unlock through gameplay.

Speaking of Mega Man Powered Up, that game totally should have gotten a sequel. I'd love to see the rest of the classic games remade, but unfortunately it didn't sell well.

Why don't you tell me that I have to collect the apparently optional items spread along the stages in order to beat the final boss BEFORE I start the game?

Not a bunch of stuff. I played one Kirby game that forced me to collect only 4 items, I think. But when they get carried away about collecting everything, no thanks.

Here's something on a related note. There's this JRPG called Cross Edge on PS3 that has a bunch of characters from Capcom, NIS, Gust, and a few other companies. Sounds neat, but the game is nearly impossible unless you know exactly what to do. I only made it a half hour in before I couldn't beat the regular mobs anymore (later on I found out you have to know to gather specific materials to get Vitality Rings. The game doesn't give you any sort of hints about this, you just have to know or spend forever trying different things out.)
The worst part, though, is getting the True Ending. Here's a step-by-step walkthrough on how to do it:
Spoiler:
You just have to know to do all of that correctly, and if you screw up one thing, you're locked out of the True End.

And yeah, as far as I know, the game doesn't clue you in on anything. I think a lot of modern games could cut back on the hand-holding, but there's a difference between letting you figure things out and throwing you to the wolves, too.

It reminds me of one of the stupidest game design decisions i have ever seen in a game.
In Mega Man Zero on the GBA youcan beat the stages in the order you want, and at the end you will encounter a boss.
If you die, you fail the mission. Makes sense, right?
Fail too many times and you get stuck in a zone you select the missions from. Forever. And you have to restart the game, of course.

Good thing I didn't suck that much on megaman zero xP. Hard game too.
Then again I was playing the DS compilation at the time so maybe they worked that bug out by then.

Yeah, I am more skilled now, but it's still bullsh*t. And it was not a bug, I think. The game tells you the base is under attack a couple of time. I think the third time they warn you there's no scape and you cannot leave the base.

Pisses me off, because these people sound like assholes who don't seem to consider that not everyone has a hoard of friends who play videogames. Some have friends who play videogames, but not the kind that you like to play. And some don't have any friends, period. Or anyone in the family who plays games who could join you and help out.
Also, what happens to sense of accomplishment? What kind of accomplishment is that if I try to "cheap cheat" my way through a difficult level just by grabbing another player and cut the difficulty in half? That's not gonna make me feel better that I finally overcame this hurdle.

I don't really think that is being cheap because that's the way the game was made. But yeah, it happens to me, I don't have friends who like my games. Also I think gqmes should be singlepayer with a multiplayer option and not the other way around.

So for something like Dynasty/Hyrule Warriors, I don't think playing with 2 Players - especially if the 2 Player option is told to me to be "Pick the main character as 1P and then pick your best as 2P, have 1P stand around doing nothing and control 2P to actually do the quest objective" - was the intention.

Darkness isn't scary. As I've said before, it doesn't make things scary, it just pisses me off cause I don't know what's going on. Not scary. Annoying. You know why I'm liking DreadOut so much? Cause it has ATMOSPHERICAL tension! Which I think is helped by the fact that majority of the time, there's no soundtrack. No music playing, except maybe some ambient sound like crickets, mice or similar.
It unfortunately also goes the way to make things very dark and difficult to see, but for the most part, I just feel tense even watching someone else playing the game because the atmosphere is tense, uncomfortable and keeps you on your toes. I'm just about to finish watching an LP of that game and this game, despite my knowing that SOMETHING will happen soon, managed to give me at least 2 good jumps. I knew something creepy was gonna happen, yet I still jumped because the atmosphere made helped. (Y'all can take your FNAF, I'll keep my DreadOut. The really scary one.)

You know lighting is totally a part of atmosphere...
Nothing is Scarier
Darkness creates a space of "nothing". It's a blank canvas for mankind to paint it's horrors onto. Do you know what's in front of you? No it could be something waiting to kill you. There could be something moving just outside your field of view limited by darkness..
You can't say "Darkness isn't scary but Atmosphere is scary" because lighting is a whole part of generating atmosphere.
