The Majora Effect

When a game considered underrated is overexposed to the point of being redundant.

P1: "Oh boy, another theory video on Majora's Mask! God, that's amazing! Majora's Mask is so deep and dark and amazing and underrated."

P2: "Ugh, this is bad. Let's call this crap the Majora Effect."

 

Sorry if this makes me seem like a dumbass.

Rage Loop -

Getting caught in a repeating cycle of turning on a game, dying almost immediately, and quitting before saving any little progress made.

"I kept dying in that one part of Dark Souls and got caught in a rage loop."



Earthboned --

When your favorite game series has an entry in Japan but doesn't get localized.

I hope we don't get Earthboned with Dragon Quest XI...



FQUIBIS

 (pronounced "fa-qwi-bis"): It's one I coined roughly a decade ago while playing Madden and NBA 2K games. It's the "4th quarter bullsh!t" that the AI starts doing in the 4 4th quarter of games in order to give the loser a chance to catch up. It's anything from constant fumbles, to errant passes, to not being able to make a shot or stop the opponent from scoring. It pretty much applies to every sports game that's being played at any skill level above the lowest setting.

 

"I was up by 2 TDs before the FQUIBIS kicked in. Ended up throwing a pick-6 and losing 2 fumbles!"



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

Ungeared criticism

People who complain about a game or genre that they are unable to enjoy because it was never intended to be geared towards their tastes or what they understand as gaming.

The "Walking simulator" comes to mind.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Ragonizing - Causing great amount of rage.
