What are the biggest frustrations in modern gaming?
Dude, I don't know why anybody in the world would ever make a cutscene to where you cannot skip it, but unskippable cutscenes might be one of the worst things in all of gaming, dude. It drives me crazy.
Oh, it's the worst, especially on, like, a second playthrough, and it's a long cutscene, and you're just like, come on, man, let me just get through this. I already know what's going to happen. I know what they're going to do. You're mashing the button a thousand times still, like, just skip! Yeah, just trying to hit square or something just to get it through. But what makes me even more upset is escort missions, dude.
Why are unskippable cutscenes so annoying?
Like having to just drag some dumb AI that doesn't know what the heck they're doing through this level and just watching them die over and over and then you die. It's, oh, I hate it.
Oh, dude. Escort missions are the worst.
We've talked to developers. They say they hate making them. They're hard to code. They're hard to develop for. No gamer likes an escort mission. Like, why is this still a thing? Nobody, nobody likes them.
Looking at you, Resident Evil 4.
Dude, escort mission is the absolute worst time wasters. But you know what wastes your time more? Bosses that heal midway through the fight and send out waves of freaking enemies.
Drives me insane. The bosses are hard enough to give them the ability to heal, and it's like you better interrupt the heal or have a way to deal with it, because otherwise it's like, oh, I'm just full health, all that work for nothing.
And then a lot of times to do it, they'll send a wave of enemies, so then you lose more health most likely, and then they heal up, and you're like, oh, come on, this is a bad trade.
Yeah, why are they allowed to heal? I'm the only one who should be allowed to heal.
Guys, you know what I really hate, though, is when a podcast, they don't even start with the music that I'm used to.
What makes escort missions universally hated?
Hello fellow gamers and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. Video games may be our favorite pastime, but it doesn't mean they don't do things that aggravate us, make us complain, and all around just go, what the heck man? Well, if you haven't guessed on this episode, we're going over all the things that suck about video games. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh, and I hate when people are always late to everything. And no, I didn't bring that up for any specific reason at all.
It's Ryan. We've gone over this many times, my friend. Time is a man-made construct. Time is relative. So, you know, it's just one of those things.
Time is only relative to you, Brian. Time is there for everybody else.
Oh, wait. Maybe I should reassess this situation.
And joining us, I hate when your friend tells you he's totally going to play this awesome new game with you when it comes out, but then you see he's still playing Marvel Rivals instead. It's Ace.
I have no defense. I just suck.
Chase is like, I'm a terrible friend. I know I said I was going to play Battlefield 6 with you guys, but I lied.
Daredevil's cool, though. I'll say that. Wait, Daredevil's in it now? Yeah, they put Daredevil in the game. He is blind.
I don't even have Marvel Rivals installed anymore. I installed it a while ago. Yeah, I'm not surprised.
Is your screen just blank?
He is blind past 30 meters.
Blind past 30?
30 meters?
30 meters is a long way, man.
He can see every character, though, through echolocation, so they all appear for him. He can see them through walls, even invisible characters, but he can't actually see them.
How do boss mechanics frustrate gamers?
Bro, if you can see 30 meters, you're not nearsighted, because nearsighted is like this. I need to hold it further away to read a book or something. So he's just normal, basically. Yeah, basically.
We'll just call him normal. Is it actually echolocation?
Yeah, it's like a super echolocation thing.
I thought he just had really good hearing.
No, he actually has some kind of super mutant echolocation thing.
Does he click? To make it echo, don't you have to put out something to return?
You want me to explain a Marvel superhero? I'm just trying to learn.
