The worst gaming ideas ever?

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow for the DS. Great game but whenever you fight a boss you have to draw a 'Magic Seal' on screen to finish it off. Which leads to:

"Hang on let me grab the stylus," turns DS over, grabs stylus, accidentally taps screen, incorrect Magic Seal input, boss regains some HP, you curse Konami for making tagged on DS features.

Changing this to a necklace for us:

IT JUST ISN'T FAIR.

I can't tell what it is.

Going on the fact he is fishing, I would guess it is a johnny with a knot in it.

[DrBlue]

In that case, he must be fishing in the canal near me.

Escort missions!

Where you've not only got to avoid getting shot, knifed, maimed, murdered yourself, but you've also got to protect some other numpty who insists on standing in the line of fire.

(You can also translate this to games like GTA where you have to protect other cars and space-based missions where you have to protect for example, a shuttlecraft against 50 gunships.)

Oh and going back to realistic driving, does anyone else find it as hard as I do when in games like GTA, Driver, when you're meant to blend in and not attract attention? I weave from lane to lane, sometimes into the path of oncoming cars (usually a police car...), onto pavements, barging cars aside, speeding, going through lights, etc. I'm a careful driver in real life so why am I so impatient in a video game? Probably because I know I won't come away with points on my licence I suppose.

Mario Kart on SNES is sooooooo annoying - I was playing it last night and that bloody course with no barriers at the side (I think it was the second track on the Mushroom Cup) - some cheating mare (namely Princess Peach) rams you off the edge and you drop from 1st to 8th in a matter of a few short seconds.

Given 2 of them were very good. Yes. You'd play it because it was a good game. Not playing it because it's a McDonalds game is exactly as stupid as not playing it "because it's on the NES" or "Because it looks old".

Incidentally, if anyone wants that post above translated into English let me know.

I agree with the stuff about catchup modes, and not just in racing games, but games where the AI will cheat to get back on level terms. NBA Jam/Hangtime games are prime culprits, for instance.

The missing tag mode for both X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter on the PS1. I wasn't very impressed with it.

The missing tag mode is criminal on these games - I was so disappointed after playing MSH vs SF on arcade and then getting it for PS1 and finding the lack of a proper tag mode.

It really should be an option on Babelfish.
