Current Video Game Trends You Wish Would Die
 

For me personally it's the weapons limit in First-person shooters. Yes it makes it more realistic, but I miss the days where I could run around with like 12 weapons and not have to pick and choose as I went.

i would really like halo and call of duty to go away..im just sick of the people who play and bost about it...its annoying...ppl are way too into fps thats why i only play the F.E.A.R games

I foresee that this thread will be terrible.

I'll try and save it, Barkworm.

This isn't really a video game trend, but I'm rather unsatisfied with the views on the casual market by the more hardcore crowd.

Being a former hardcore subscriber, I can understand where they are coming from, but on the same coin I can also relate to real life getting in the way of long gaming sessions. So while I'm not exactly a fan of casual-geared games like the Kinect-enabled games, I sort of like the introduction of things like regenerating health and being able to save anywhere. I just don't have the time anymore, and I am easily distracted by other things.

In addition, complaining about "casuals ruining the video game industry" won't exactly flip the world of gaming upside down overnight, and since the discovery of the profit that can be made by the casual market, I can't see focus on that disappearing anytime soon. Business first, as they say.

I agree with being tired of "hardcore gamers" complaining about casual gaming. The mentality they have about it being for them and no one else tends to bother me. But I also agree with them to an extent on it's effect on the quality and artistry of some games.

Also my intention for this thread wasn't really to dump on specific franchises that you have a personal grudge against. More like things that entire genres of games in general are doing that you've grown tired of

Wow. This is the craziest thing I have ever read on this forum.

You're a crazy person.

Can I just say that I hate Jonathan Blow? He's not really a trend but I just hate that guy.

Unsurprisingly, Barkworm was right. This thread is AWFUL.

^ Sadly I am forced to agree

Partly your fault, dawg.

Three Dee.

^ This.

Also, MMORPGs and sports video games in general.

I also wish Konami would take a break from Metroidvania gameplay in Castlevania and make something more like Rondo of Blood.

Nintendo constantly making their games with the nunchuk and wiimote and just making lame games for the device in general. The first thing that came to mind when I first heard Nintendo were using that type of controller was "lightsaber". I have yet to see a Star Wars game that utilizes it as it should. Heck, just port Trilogy Arcade and things would be fine.

Your points aren't good.

Call of Duty jst needs to die!!!

That'll never happen as long as people don't get bored of headshots and knife kills.

still needs 2 die

Nice "point repellent" vest you got on there.

Get over it, kid.

I still love headshots. A little bit of FPS Doug's soul rests inside of me.

Man, is that show even still around?
