-(Left 4 dead is an exception, they manage to pull it off)


Left 4 Dead's use of music is very efficient at accomplishing its goal. As soon as you hear those "zombie swarm" tones, you're like, "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit..."

The little things that don't make the back of the box. TaskmasterJack - 25/08/2010 02:10:31 AM 1009 Views
Hilarious that you listed the only two games I own. That is all. *NM* Kotagg - 25/08/2010 02:34:56 AM 326 Views
Re: The little things that don't make the back of the box. Aemon - 25/08/2010 02:59:10 AM 697 Views
those are some of my favorites. *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 02:54:43 PM 291 Views
True, fast saves, too. *NM* ironclad - 25/08/2010 09:50:43 PM 330 Views
Those are pretty good additions. TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:41:58 AM 705 Views
The ability to run quickly at any time. Ghavrel - 25/08/2010 03:09:47 AM 691 Views
That can certainly be frustrating, especially in a game with a lot of backtracking. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:42:30 AM 351 Views
It's my biggest problem with my favorite genre (wRPG). Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:04:26 AM 633 Views
Come on. Morrowind is fast enough. jh - 26/08/2010 07:56:52 PM 742 Views
That's because with those boots you keep running off mountains. Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 10:22:34 PM 652 Views
... what?? jh - 27/08/2010 06:50:02 AM 812 Views
...I think you radically underestimate the time it takes to do those things. Ghavrel - 27/08/2010 08:30:45 AM 643 Views
Re: ...I think you radically underestimate the time it takes to do those things. Zalis - 27/08/2010 02:05:52 PM 697 Views
I totally agree. Ghavrel - 27/08/2010 04:47:03 PM 620 Views
Yeah... the boots plus a good homemade jump spell worked for me. Panorphaeon - 30/08/2010 07:35:51 PM 605 Views
ANy online FPS that has a quick mute. MightyYT - 25/08/2010 03:24:44 AM 724 Views

adjustable difficulty Foxhead - 25/08/2010 10:42:22 AM 693 Views
I'm actually going to have to disagree with you on the first one. Aemon - 26/08/2010 12:11:44 AM 710 Views
I, too, am never quite sure where my ideal difficulty lies. TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:46:11 AM 679 Views
Same *NM* ironclad - 26/08/2010 01:25:14 PM 340 Views
i like beating the game on a variety of difficulties Foxhead - 26/08/2010 09:03:57 AM 673 Views
I agree (with some qualfications) Jacob - 26/08/2010 03:47:41 PM 620 Views
I guess I more or less agree with that. Aemon - 26/08/2010 05:30:22 PM 622 Views
Re: I'm actually going to have to disagree with you on the first one. yaminohasha - 29/08/2010 04:10:49 AM 853 Views
I actually agree with that. TaskmasterJack - 29/08/2010 02:24:00 PM 677 Views
a lot of the gamer-angst about the new WoW expansion is based on this. LadyLorraine - 29/08/2010 04:44:56 PM 705 Views

Journals have to be one of my favorite things. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:19:58 PM 747 Views
The journal for Sword of the Beresaad was the worst. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 12:14:24 AM 379 Views
oh that one was horrible... LadyLorraine - 26/08/2010 03:38:36 AM 619 Views
Me too. I hate doing that. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:05:11 AM 317 Views
I generally find myself ignoring Journals in most games. Most. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:47:31 AM 344 Views
Ugh set save points bug the crap out of me Darth_Katie - 26/08/2010 04:11:13 AM 659 Views
In FFXII, the save point before Ahriman is about ten minutes away. Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:06:57 AM 661 Views
that was what irritated me most about playing a few of those games. *NM* LadyLorraine - 26/08/2010 05:04:03 PM 343 Views

Guild Wars and their Quest Arrows... vandevere - 26/08/2010 10:29:07 AM 852 Views
Agreed, that's a big one. Aemon - 26/08/2010 01:51:34 PM 632 Views
I don't like it being unavoidable. Oblivion's compass sucked. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 11:36:37 PM 290 Views
Drawing on the map/compass is also something I miss in all other coop games w/ maps... Zalis - 26/08/2010 04:03:53 PM 700 Views
Little things like that can make a big difference - in atmosphere, too, not just game mechanics. Legolas - 01/09/2010 12:56:56 AM 642 Views
