My 5 gaming pet peeves
Good morning everyone!
As I’ve already shared my bookish pet peeves in romance books, aswell as bloghopping pet peeves, it’s now time to share those I have about gaming too ! 😘 Most are about gameplay, but there’s an exception; ofcourse this is not in order of which one piss me off the most, just in what order feels more fluent.
Platformers
Though I played lots of 2D zelda games growing up.. in general I can’t time my jumps to save my life 😖 enough to make me ragequit- but the WORST ones are those that kills you instantly.. rather than just having to restart the climbing from square one.
Games auto-saving.. at the end of the day
I’m the nervous player that saves their games a million times before actually leaving- autosaving games *sometimes* relief the pressure of “did I saved?”.. and sometimes makes it worst xd Games like “My time at Portia” & “Stardew Valley” that don’t allow me to save whenever I want, AND have the audacity to only save when you go to bed in-games.. bum me out a lot.
Games mysteriously booting you out
Now iknow this is not fun in any context, but mix this with games saving at the end of the day… yeah, now you just lost a whole bunch that you have to redo again 🤦🏽♀️ This piss me off so much that I don’t wanna pick it again for a few hours- because heck.
Everything needing to be multiplayer..
I’ve always been a solo player, not having any friends to play with me.. Now this doesn’t bother me when the game remains playeable on single mode (like stardew valley & even Zelda four sword adventures), but when we reach the point where you have a much harder time playing alone- or needs you to play online with random strangers- which most definately will be dicks and not play just because they can (*aherm, Triforce heroes..)- this is where I have a problem.
«You ain’t a real gamer if-»
The common idea that you have to play a specific type of games, usually violent ones, In order to be viewed as a “real gamer” ?? Or that you can’t be one if you don’t play a particular console and yada yada.. that is absolute BS.
As long as you play, no matter what or what console, you do are part of the community; nobody likes gate keepers!
What’s your gaming pet peeves?
The autosaving at the end of the day is annoying! Sometimes I don’t want to play a full day, or I need to stop mid-day, and have no choice but to just go to bed early and lose out on precious time! It’s the same for games where you have to find a save point/station in order to save. Sometimes they’re generous and close together. But other times there’s only a few, so you either have to keep playing to find a new one, or backtrack and hope you don’t die along the way, or just die to speed things up. Just let us save whenever we want/need to!
Omg yes 🤦🏽♀️ On the switch I like that you can turn it off without saving to pick it back there later.. whenever I pick back up a game on the 3ds I forget it doesn’t work like that 💀💀
I agree with you on all of these! I don’t mind the autosaving thing, but I want to be able to manually save as well, especially when I’ve just made big progress on something!
And the ‘not a real gamer’ thing annoys me so much! I don’t like to play games that stress me out, so I prefer cosy, casual games, but they are still games, and I still spend a lot of time on them, so how is that different than playing any other type of game?
Right?
I might be obessing on sims & my time at portia, but im gaming atleast 5-10hrs a day still.. like- get out.
Yes!! Atleast give us both 😰 so tiring to accomplish something just for it to boot you out for a random problem or something..
