English term

cardinal sin

GBK English to Slovenian Tech/Engineering Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino
Definition from What Games Are:
A cardinal sin is a fuzzy term to describe a grievous mistake in game design which sinks a game completely.
Example sentences:
While we're sure many people will consider the game's shortness a cardinal sin, we'd still recommend you give it a try if you're a fan of '80s and '90s gaming, appreciate lush 2D artwork and desire an experience which firmly lodges itself in your consciousness – even if it doesn't last all that long. (NintendoLife)
And, while this is dangerously close to a gaming cardinal sin, it's also something that is understandable. When you can play through a beautiful experience, why would you slog through something that makes your eyes hurt after and hour and has bugs that could ruin your save? (WhatCulture)
Wasting space is not always a cardinal sin. It really depends on the menu being displayed. However, maps and quests, encyclopedias, books, statistics, and inventories generally need the full screen to be useful. (Sapphire Nation)

smrtni greh (igre)

Even in EN, this is not only a gaming term, it is used colloquially everywhere.
Definition from Wiki:
Najtežje grehe imenujemo tudi smrtni grehi. Smrtni greh pomeni, da gre hkrati za veliko stvar, za popolno zavedanje grešnosti določenega dejanja in za premišljeno privolitev oziroma odločitev za greh.
Example sentences:
So smrtni grehi le mit in metoda za ustrahovanje? V podobi Johna Doeja v kultni kriminalki Sedem prav gotovo ne. (RTV Slovenija)
