Quick question for gaming people.

[Klutz]

I know this is corny, but I have to ask.

Does anyone else here RAGE when a game you are playing goes to cutscene when you are surrounded by enemies, even though in all reality, if the game let you, you could easily kick all of their asses?

Every time this happens in a game I get so frustrated. Lol.

[Draylo]

Not really.

[Elcura]

Yesno.

Fallout 3 getting a grenade thrown at me and then getting knocked out then being dragged to there base stupid... I know it's to move the story and everything but a grenade really....

Assassin's Creed 2 made me do that near the end of the game.

Spend a good 8min beating the utter shit out of this dude and all of his soldiers, then a CS pops up where you're all wounded and exhausted, and the dude taunts you and runs away with all his new soldier buddies.

I hate when you get in the 'unwinnable battle' but you're actually good enough to win... the game lets you get the dude down to 1HP and then just decides to make you miss miss miss miss miss or keep doing 0 dmg.

That's the only time it really gets to me.

I hax'd to try and win the first fight in Breath of Fire II intro but the Gonghead has infinite HP. :[

Shouldn't they make it so the battle is really unbalanced instead? If you shouldn't be able to kill someone or something then make a valid reason for it. Like... in Baldur's gate there are certain NPCs who cannot die. Instead, how about they just give you some sort of death if you do kill them? For example you kill Aran Linvale and the thieves guild suddenly comes out of the shadows and backstabs you for all your health. Make it make sense!

See: Yuna's Wedding in FFX.

And yes, it does annoy me if only because it reduces the credibility of the game. Yeah yeah, it's only a game, not reality - rules can be changed etc, but if I have to "surrender" for whatever reason, at least make it something I can believe. Not "can kill huge ass dragon guardian and storm wedding, killing scores of soldiers but being stopped by one gun". This was just the most prominent example I could think of from the top of my head.

i don't rage, but it always feels pretty lame

What I wouldn't give for more games to have more loading doors like Resident Evil. You know how many times those loading doors saved my ass?

[Xno Kappa]

Why you gotta open old wounds. I'm still pissed about Teepo...

Last thing we need is a zombie game where the zombies know how to open doors and wander between areas........

I hate illogical cutscenes in general, like one near the beginning of FFXIII:

Spoiler: show

I don't get why Snow was suddenly paralyzed after he missed the grenade launcher, in the scene where Hope's mother dies. So you missed, uh... get back up and grab it or just lay there looking like a moron, tough choice?

I do like how Suikoden usually handles "impossible" battles - if you can actually win them, the game progresses accordingly, usually with the enemy being defeated but still escaping, or having someone back them up at the last moment. Doesn't usually affect the plot a ton, but at least it makes sense, and sometimes there are nice little rewards (finding out the Man in Black's real identity earlier, for example).

In Legend of Dragoon, (it's been awhile so some info may be off but I continue) I believe its in the arena you have to fight a guy and lose to him, my friend had a Game genie or game shark whatever they go by now adays.

He gave himself the cheat for take 0 damage or something, in short he beat the guy, and instead of going to the cutscene that follows the fight, it went to a black screen and it wouldn't continue any farther. So he had to reload and beat it the correct way.
