-(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 1280 Views
Hilarious that you listed the only two games I own. That is all. *NM* Kotagg - 25/08/2010 02:34:56 AM 456 Views
Re: The little things that don't make the back of the box. Aemon - 25/08/2010 02:59:10 AM 963 Views
those are some of my favorites. *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 02:54:43 PM 405 Views
True, fast saves, too. *NM* ironclad - 25/08/2010 09:50:43 PM 437 Views
Those are pretty good additions. TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:41:58 AM 960 Views
The ability to run quickly at any time. Ghavrel - 25/08/2010 03:09:47 AM 945 Views
That can certainly be frustrating, especially in a game with a lot of backtracking. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:42:30 AM 459 Views
It's my biggest problem with my favorite genre (wRPG). Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:04:26 AM 911 Views
Come on. Morrowind is fast enough. jh - 26/08/2010 07:56:52 PM 1042 Views
That's because with those boots you keep running off mountains. Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 10:22:34 PM 900 Views
... what?? jh - 27/08/2010 06:50:02 AM 1069 Views
...I think you radically underestimate the time it takes to do those things. Ghavrel - 27/08/2010 08:30:45 AM 936 Views
Re: ...I think you radically underestimate the time it takes to do those things. Zalis - 27/08/2010 02:05:52 PM 962 Views
I totally agree. Ghavrel - 27/08/2010 04:47:03 PM 896 Views
Yeah... the boots plus a good homemade jump spell worked for me. Panorphaeon - 30/08/2010 07:35:51 PM 870 Views
ANy online FPS that has a quick mute. MightyYT - 25/08/2010 03:24:44 AM 967 Views

adjustable difficulty Foxhead - 25/08/2010 10:42:22 AM 935 Views
I'm actually going to have to disagree with you on the first one. Aemon - 26/08/2010 12:11:44 AM 989 Views
I, too, am never quite sure where my ideal difficulty lies. TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:46:11 AM 978 Views
Same *NM* ironclad - 26/08/2010 01:25:14 PM 497 Views
i like beating the game on a variety of difficulties Foxhead - 26/08/2010 09:03:57 AM 917 Views
I agree (with some qualfications) Jacob - 26/08/2010 03:47:41 PM 890 Views
I guess I more or less agree with that. Aemon - 26/08/2010 05:30:22 PM 863 Views
Re: I'm actually going to have to disagree with you on the first one. yaminohasha - 29/08/2010 04:10:49 AM 1147 Views
I actually agree with that. TaskmasterJack - 29/08/2010 02:24:00 PM 916 Views
a lot of the gamer-angst about the new WoW expansion is based on this. LadyLorraine - 29/08/2010 04:44:56 PM 976 Views

Journals have to be one of my favorite things. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:19:58 PM 998 Views
The journal for Sword of the Beresaad was the worst. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 12:14:24 AM 496 Views
oh that one was horrible... LadyLorraine - 26/08/2010 03:38:36 AM 874 Views
Me too. I hate doing that. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:05:11 AM 439 Views
I generally find myself ignoring Journals in most games. Most. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:47:31 AM 461 Views
Ugh set save points bug the crap out of me Darth_Katie - 26/08/2010 04:11:13 AM 926 Views
In FFXII, the save point before Ahriman is about ten minutes away. Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:06:57 AM 916 Views
that was what irritated me most about playing a few of those games. *NM* LadyLorraine - 26/08/2010 05:04:03 PM 465 Views

Guild Wars and their Quest Arrows... vandevere - 26/08/2010 10:29:07 AM 1208 Views
Agreed, that's a big one. Aemon - 26/08/2010 01:51:34 PM 895 Views
I don't like it being unavoidable. Oblivion's compass sucked. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 11:36:37 PM 414 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 956 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 965 Views
