what kindof a protagonist should never be in a game your opinion?

If SilkySmooth30FPS only had this .gif, he would still be with us today, RIP account that I'm sure is a troll alt, RIP 😭
 
someone who tells you how to solve fucking puzzles
It really is insanely annoying, enough to kill the enjoyment. At least give us the option to 100% disable the hints?

There's nothing worse than having fun trying to figure something out and then the asshole gives you a hint. Like dude, it's not that I'm fucking stupid or not trying - it's just taking me more than three minutes. Shut up.

Abby. The one who talks common sense but all what she did is shitting all over the place. You know, someone who only make sense on a different part of the story timeline but hell no with Joel world or the real world tbf.

Not only does she look awful, but her "edgy attitude" makes me 100% sure this will be first Naughty Dog game I skip in 20 years.
It's not enough to skip a naughty dog for me personally, but I absolutely don't like the looks of this character. She feels like a complete nothingburger to me. I hope the game let's you customize some aspects of her look/design.

Everyone playing MMOs on an RP server. I've never read so much shit in my life than during that time. It was a like a bad D&D session without any GM telling you to either unfuck yourself or go away with your bullshit.

And that includes shit I've written myself.
 
Weak dudes and fat chicks. :lollipop_tongue:
In terms of devs choice, they can do w/e but yeh if they expect to sell some decent amount of copies- if protag in their game is weak feminine dude or masculine/ugly/fat chick then i dunno how good such a game would have to be quality wise for me to enjoy it, currently i cant think of even 1 such a game so i guess even 10/10 masterpiece with protag like that gets downgraded imediately to unenjoyable shit.
Hell even cloud from ff7 who could look pretty femine in early story segment was badass af using sword most powerlifters and strongmen would have trouble using :P

It really should be an switch in the options in every that kind of game, like I paid my money to be difficulted by a puzzle
 
I hate those main characters who keep talking to themselves non-stop through the whole game, either 'cause they're too lazy to write real dialogues with other characters or they think the player's dumb and needs constant commentary about what's going on.


Plus: bald women and ugly women.
 
i mean...we all know the answer right?

This character was immediately unlikable and obnoxious - I dont know what they are thinking. No matter what you say about the TLOU games the main characters are well written and well designed

Another bad example is Aloy from Horizon - the way she was a talking tutorial throughout the game. I so wanted to mute her
 
Fetish? Not everyone uses videogames as porn.


Weirdos who design weird characters definitly do.

This is very easy to prove just by checking out their social media profiles. Gender-obsessed devs use their creations to realize their sex fantasies, the same as every porn fanfic in Wattpad.

The first thing I did when playing as Abby was try to make her die by falling from the cliff, hoping the game will continue without her. ;)

(yes I knew about the golf scene from the leaks)
 
Besides some already mentioned.
The already leveled badass hero who goes back to 0 skill noob once it is sequel time. OK I know games need progression in general but devs really need to figure this one out, rarely it is handled well, usually it's just dumb and makes no sense.

Is there any thread on games without the tiresome culture war shit appearing?
Reminds me of another forum.
To be fair this thread's title was bait for those kinds of posts, because it's asking people to pick their least liked thing and personally ban it.

Sort of goes against the whole artistic choice/free speech idea but since there's no actual impact it's just in good fun 🤷‍♂️

Not quite. I see it, at least from my side, as criticism of very bad tropes that always harm the fiction.

The trope is never the issue though. It's the writer and/or director of the project. There's been plenty of basic archetype protagonists in the past that fans adore because they were given a cool factor or written really well. Shonen anime has great examples of this.

It goes back to my previous post in this thread about the trouble of making the comic relief character into the main character. It rarely works but it still has the potential to work. That goes hand in hand with artistic freedom.

Oversexualized characters, whether it's female or male. You want me to take your story seriously while the character wears a bunny bikini outfit? Yeah, no.
