>falling into water is an instant deathYou cannot name a more lazy game mechanic than this.

I'm playing DKC Returns for the first time, and it's making me really fucking hate death pits and temporary platforms, especially paired together. I've lost track of how many times they've made me swear my head off with every variation of every slur I could think of.
>>719599990Why are you so racist?
This was very common in the snes and ps1 era but you hardly ever see it in games from the ps2 era onwards.
>>719599990>game is an unfinished buggy mess>but at least there's one single section where you can fall in the water and swim around

>>719599990Uncharted 2 had only a little pool in one level where you could swim.>marco polo achievementPeek soul
>>719599990why does every game need a swimming feature
well, what if the protagonist is black?
>>719602451Well, what if the protagonist is God?
Stun locking is worse. Should not be in ANY game. Stagger me or knock me down sure but don’t take away control of my character it’s just fucking obnoxious.
>>719599990What if they didn't feel like programming in swimming mechanics, so as soon as you fall in the water, the screen turns black and cuts to a scene of your wet exhausted protagonist implying that he immediately swam to the nearest shore off screen?
>>719602463Oh my God! He's God!
>>719599990A big enemy stomping the ground and sending out shockwaves is even worse
>>719602896That's kino though.
>>719599990>Can't jump at allThere, I beat you. It's a thing even in new 3D games, like Hell Is Us.
>forced stealth section in a non stealth game>being spotted instantly fails you and you are not allowed to kill or knock guards out
>>719602348>beat game >unlock every single character to play in storymode Peak soul indeed
>>719602451GTA subverted this by having the black protagonists in the old universe be the only ones who could swim. Claude, Tommy and Toni couldn’t swim but CJ and Vic could.
>>719602348Pretty sure one of the temples also lets you swim but its not required.I imagine it wasn't that much work to implement if they reused most of the framework from the first game.
>>719603294It's an Italian thing capiche
>>719602586>autoscroll level where you have to ride a moving platform>getting hit stuns you for a split second>the platform continues to the right, leaving you behind with no chance of recovery
>>719599990>falling into water starts a death chase that can only be stopped by getting out of the water before youre killedKino
>falling into water is an instant death
>>719604587Exactly, fuck that
>>719603294I was gonna say it was intentional but looking at the release dates...yeah it doesn't make any sense.>San Andreas released 04>LCS and VCS released 05 and 06>both games released AFTER swimming was put in SA>all the games run on the same engine so that's not even a valid excuseYeah that's just weird. I get Claude and Tommy not being able to swim, although it's kinda dumb being based on Miami and not being able to swim in all places...but after swimming was introduced into SA it makes no sense why they wouldn't just include in the later games, especially VCS. Liberty City kinda makes sense as there really is no beaches or places for you to get back up onto land like that...but that isn't the case with Vice City. Rockstar is fucking retarded.
>>719599990Wtf
