-(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 992 Views
Hilarious that you listed the only two games I own. That is all. *NM* Kotagg - 25/08/2010 02:34:56 AM 320 Views
Re: The little things that don't make the back of the box. Aemon - 25/08/2010 02:59:10 AM 685 Views
those are some of my favorites. *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 02:54:43 PM 287 Views
True, fast saves, too. *NM* ironclad - 25/08/2010 09:50:43 PM 324 Views
Those are pretty good additions. TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:41:58 AM 693 Views
The ability to run quickly at any time. Ghavrel - 25/08/2010 03:09:47 AM 676 Views
That can certainly be frustrating, especially in a game with a lot of backtracking. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:42:30 AM 346 Views
It's my biggest problem with my favorite genre (wRPG). Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:04:26 AM 615 Views
Come on. Morrowind is fast enough. jh - 26/08/2010 07:56:52 PM 727 Views
That's because with those boots you keep running off mountains. Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 10:22:34 PM 636 Views
... what?? jh - 27/08/2010 06:50:02 AM 798 Views
...I think you radically underestimate the time it takes to do those things. Ghavrel - 27/08/2010 08:30:45 AM 632 Views
Re: ...I think you radically underestimate the time it takes to do those things. Zalis - 27/08/2010 02:05:52 PM 681 Views
I totally agree. Ghavrel - 27/08/2010 04:47:03 PM 604 Views
Yeah... the boots plus a good homemade jump spell worked for me. Panorphaeon - 30/08/2010 07:35:51 PM 590 Views
ANy online FPS that has a quick mute. MightyYT - 25/08/2010 03:24:44 AM 709 Views

adjustable difficulty Foxhead - 25/08/2010 10:42:22 AM 677 Views
I'm actually going to have to disagree with you on the first one. Aemon - 26/08/2010 12:11:44 AM 695 Views
I, too, am never quite sure where my ideal difficulty lies. TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:46:11 AM 663 Views
Same *NM* ironclad - 26/08/2010 01:25:14 PM 334 Views
i like beating the game on a variety of difficulties Foxhead - 26/08/2010 09:03:57 AM 657 Views
I agree (with some qualfications) Jacob - 26/08/2010 03:47:41 PM 605 Views
I guess I more or less agree with that. Aemon - 26/08/2010 05:30:22 PM 606 Views
Re: I'm actually going to have to disagree with you on the first one. yaminohasha - 29/08/2010 04:10:49 AM 840 Views
I actually agree with that. TaskmasterJack - 29/08/2010 02:24:00 PM 664 Views
a lot of the gamer-angst about the new WoW expansion is based on this. LadyLorraine - 29/08/2010 04:44:56 PM 690 Views

Journals have to be one of my favorite things. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:19:58 PM 733 Views
The journal for Sword of the Beresaad was the worst. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 12:14:24 AM 372 Views
oh that one was horrible... LadyLorraine - 26/08/2010 03:38:36 AM 601 Views
Me too. I hate doing that. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:05:11 AM 313 Views
I generally find myself ignoring Journals in most games. Most. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:47:31 AM 340 Views
Ugh set save points bug the crap out of me Darth_Katie - 26/08/2010 04:11:13 AM 646 Views
In FFXII, the save point before Ahriman is about ten minutes away. Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:06:57 AM 647 Views
that was what irritated me most about playing a few of those games. *NM* LadyLorraine - 26/08/2010 05:04:03 PM 338 Views

Guild Wars and their Quest Arrows... vandevere - 26/08/2010 10:29:07 AM 837 Views
Agreed, that's a big one. Aemon - 26/08/2010 01:51:34 PM 618 Views
I don't like it being unavoidable. Oblivion's compass sucked. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 11:36:37 PM 285 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 685 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 625 Views
