-(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 1318 Views
Hilarious that you listed the only two games I own. That is all. *NM* Kotagg - 25/08/2010 02:34:56 AM 474 Views
Re: The little things that don't make the back of the box. Aemon - 25/08/2010 02:59:10 AM 998 Views
those are some of my favorites. *NM* LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 02:54:43 PM 420 Views
True, fast saves, too. *NM* ironclad - 25/08/2010 09:50:43 PM 452 Views
Those are pretty good additions. TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:41:58 AM 995 Views
The ability to run quickly at any time. Ghavrel - 25/08/2010 03:09:47 AM 995 Views
That can certainly be frustrating, especially in a game with a lot of backtracking. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:42:30 AM 476 Views
It's my biggest problem with my favorite genre (wRPG). Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:04:26 AM 937 Views
Come on. Morrowind is fast enough. jh - 26/08/2010 07:56:52 PM 1086 Views
That's because with those boots you keep running off mountains. Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 10:22:34 PM 928 Views
... what?? jh - 27/08/2010 06:50:02 AM 1107 Views
...I think you radically underestimate the time it takes to do those things. Ghavrel - 27/08/2010 08:30:45 AM 975 Views
Re: ...I think you radically underestimate the time it takes to do those things. Zalis - 27/08/2010 02:05:52 PM 993 Views
I totally agree. Ghavrel - 27/08/2010 04:47:03 PM 930 Views
Yeah... the boots plus a good homemade jump spell worked for me. Panorphaeon - 30/08/2010 07:35:51 PM 909 Views
ANy online FPS that has a quick mute. MightyYT - 25/08/2010 03:24:44 AM 1000 Views

adjustable difficulty Foxhead - 25/08/2010 10:42:22 AM 966 Views
I'm actually going to have to disagree with you on the first one. Aemon - 26/08/2010 12:11:44 AM 1022 Views
I, too, am never quite sure where my ideal difficulty lies. TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:46:11 AM 1017 Views
Same *NM* ironclad - 26/08/2010 01:25:14 PM 512 Views
i like beating the game on a variety of difficulties Foxhead - 26/08/2010 09:03:57 AM 953 Views
I agree (with some qualfications) Jacob - 26/08/2010 03:47:41 PM 927 Views
I guess I more or less agree with that. Aemon - 26/08/2010 05:30:22 PM 899 Views
Re: I'm actually going to have to disagree with you on the first one. yaminohasha - 29/08/2010 04:10:49 AM 1194 Views
I actually agree with that. TaskmasterJack - 29/08/2010 02:24:00 PM 944 Views
a lot of the gamer-angst about the new WoW expansion is based on this. LadyLorraine - 29/08/2010 04:44:56 PM 1009 Views

Journals have to be one of my favorite things. LadyLorraine - 25/08/2010 11:19:58 PM 1032 Views
The journal for Sword of the Beresaad was the worst. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 12:14:24 AM 510 Views
oh that one was horrible... LadyLorraine - 26/08/2010 03:38:36 AM 918 Views
Me too. I hate doing that. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:05:11 AM 457 Views
I generally find myself ignoring Journals in most games. Most. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 26/08/2010 03:47:31 AM 478 Views
Ugh set save points bug the crap out of me Darth_Katie - 26/08/2010 04:11:13 AM 963 Views
In FFXII, the save point before Ahriman is about ten minutes away. Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 05:06:57 AM 950 Views
that was what irritated me most about playing a few of those games. *NM* LadyLorraine - 26/08/2010 05:04:03 PM 481 Views

Guild Wars and their Quest Arrows... vandevere - 26/08/2010 10:29:07 AM 1248 Views
Agreed, that's a big one. Aemon - 26/08/2010 01:51:34 PM 932 Views
I don't like it being unavoidable. Oblivion's compass sucked. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/08/2010 11:36:37 PM 433 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 993 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 995 Views
