Good for all the time of day! This is the first issue of the experimental rubric of “conventions”- all the most vile, unnecessary, stupid and simply … condensed trends in the modern gaming industry. You yourself can easily call them: a flurry of hordes of endless f2p with a crooked balance and a constant “pay, and you will be cool”, fashion for narrow guts of corridors with pyrotechnics in all shooters, heroes, forever sticking their backs to shelter … Come on!
Issue Number “One”: About the wild repaan of evil spirits
Repaun enemy in itself is not evil. On the contrary, in some games it is very well implemented. Bright example – Call of Duty 2. The endless legions of the Fritz in the ruins of Stalingrad really look more than appropriate and create the true atmosphere of a real, world war, when not heaps of gopniks fight, but entire nations. We know that killing everyone is almost unrealistic, so we break through forward, trying to at least push this terrible wall of soldiers. At the same time, there is no feeling that you are fighting “one against all”, on your part, regular reinforcements also come, which creates a unique feeling of a “right” battle.
But here are a few examples of more info a crooked respuna:
Call of Duty (almost all the last)
The question never occurred to you: where in Russia there are so many terrorists? It feels like our entire nation is certainly evil extremists in gas masks. How else to explain hundreds of thousands of villains, spinning on us from all sides in the last COD-Ah? Well, okay. There was always little meaning in the COD series, because this is primarily a cool action movie in the style of Michael Bay. But all the cinema instantly evaporates as soon as you sit for shelter and you just begin to shoot the bastards. A minute later it becomes noticeable that exactly a couple of seconds after the murder of the enemy strictly the same fighter runs out of one place. And even sits down exactly for the same shelter! And so until you run further. The very juice is that most often, breaking forward, we learn that this whole crowd climbed out of the basement, in which … a dead end. What is the fucking authenticity?
Another example of a terrible respuna. It would seem that the fiery savannah, blacks with atomats, open peace, sandbox … Well, how could this be constrained by this? The answer is simple, a terrible respuna! After a few hours of game, hundreds of thousands of bandits with machine guns will become a routine for you, but these bastards are also being revived! You just demolished a whole checkpoint with bastards, and, having returned a few minutes later, see how they go there again, as if nothing had happened. What is the point of killing them at all? I’ll keep silent about blacks on jeeps that will become eternal companions throughout the game.
Why shove the respuna here is generally a big question. It is a pity that unanswered ..
Ninja Gaiden 2 (NES)
Well, we will welcome the King of the Republic! His Majesty is a screen from Ninja Gaiden 2, beyond which evil spirits are fruitful. You have just regrouped beautifully, bounced back and a couple of strokes chopped out a filthy bat and several ninja? It is too early to rejoice! They are already waiting for you in the same places as they were. After all, it was not the best idea to move back. Even the wise ninja cannot understand the nature of this strange phenomenon. Given hundreds of abysses, where they regularly want to push you, the revival of enemies turns into the most terrible variety of sadism, which can meet you in video games.
P.S.
This (as you noticed) the very first release of “conventions” (maybe the last). I will gladly accept any reviews and suggestions, as well as take into account any criticism (almost any). Those for discussion in this section is still full.
