What's your pet peeve in gaming?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

My set has aspect ratio controls so this is not an issue. Anyways the widescreen support in DQVIII and FFXII just used the existing ~640x480 with squished pixels, so it looks even more low res when stretched. :(

I was hoping the PS3 would do this http://www.pcsx2.net/image.php?id=1147789854j02
I guess I should just invest in a higher end PC...

Actually, most if not all WS TVs will allow you to control the aspect ratio, I just can't waste all that space making it 4:3! :P
hm...that sucks about the SquareEnix games tho...God of War and shadow of the colossus look superb in WS. 8)

wireless controlers

Post by little witch boy »

there cool but they make me feel like that invisible beam that goes from the controller to the console will one day cut my head off as i walk by. (or give me nut cancer or something)

another thing - my room mate got the sonic collection for the xbox and the wuss SAVES HIS GAME before he goes through one of those chaos emerald stages. if he screws up... the wuss reverts to his previously saved game!!!! and tries again....

adding the game save feature on games that never had the option before peeves the crap out of me.

come on... play sonic LIKE A MAN!!!

I don't have time to play games like that anymore. Savestates are even better! :P
