Okay, so we have all had things in video games that get on our nerves. Boss fights, glitches, and terrible controls are just some examples. For me, most of it comes from Batman: Arkham Origins.

1. The camera angles. These haven't been a problem so far, but that may change.

2. Enemies that don't go where you want them to. In one area, there were six armed enemies. I was hoping to take them all down with inverted takedowns, but no dice.

3. Last, but so far the most annoying thing is the boss fight against Deathstroke. I have the game set on easy, and I can't beat this son of a bitch. The button mashing is ridiculous. I wish I could skip the fight altogether, but no.

Escort missions. That is all.

When the games don't support a 5760x1080 resolution.

Another thing that I hate is when you have to follow people quietly.

corrupted saves from years of playing without even knowing why...

I don't play games a ton. When I do, it's usually just Pokemon, Bioshock, or some old PS2 and N64 games. The most annoying thing for me seems to be the occasional glitch.

I did get Dishonored, though, and I absolutely hated it.

When the AI is just too much to deal with

When I constantly fail at a level like in super meat boy.

Or Ninja Gaiden 2

Or Dark Souls.

Or stealth missions.

Fuck them all/

This. So much this.

Unmemrable final boss battles or boss battles that are to difficult for such a certin early point in the game and when you have low health in the Ledgend of Zelda and that annoying as fuck beeping starts

Kingdom Hearts re:Chain of Memories. The boss fight with Axel was so damn troll and then the rest of the game s childs play compared to that single fight, even the final boss.
Disgaea 4 where after beating the final story boss the bosses get stronger 100 lvls at a time. Axel lvl 100 then Flonne lvl 200 after one level? Dafuq?
The water Temple of all Legend of Zeldas.
Sonic riders Zero Gravity in its entirety.
Fighting Ice Titan in Kingdom Hearts.
Shit man this isnt even half the list..

Oh

And water levels.

Every water level is a fucking cunt.

Lack of nudity.
Every game would be better with nudity.

Every game.

3d platform jumping. That's not what its meant for...

When I'm forced to play together with other people to get something.
That made me play GW1 as a complete single player, the stupid AI was literally better than most people I came across.
Or if you need friends to get completely unrelated shit, where progression is limited and their only use is to force sales, like Bravely Default, you know nobody else who plays it? Enjoy hours of waiting for things to happen, know nobody else with the newest Pokemon? You're not going to see all safari zones. LIKE US ON FB TO GET X!!!1
This is just such pathetic behavior when they no longer think the quality of their own games is reason enough to buy them, no they have to artificially create peer pressure.

Cutscenes/dialog sequences introducing a level segment that repeat unskippably(sp?) every time you fail/restart.

Well, I mean the camera angles in Arkham Origins specifically. Oh, and here are a few other things that piss me off.

1. Rockstar's Bad Sport system. What the actual fuck were they thinking? If someone attacks me in GTA Online, if I blow up their personal vehicle, I get in trouble. This is the biggest goddamn custerfuck that Rockstar has ever come up with.

2. Random bounties. More often than not, when I steal a random NPC's car in GTA Online, they set a bounty on me. This is incredibly tedious, because my most recent bounty came from stealing a parked car. What the hell?

3. Spawn killing has no consequences. This should be what gives you a Bad Sport rating. People just jump online and kill you as soon as they see you, even if it's completely unprovoked. That's why I only play solo sessions or in friend sessions.

I don't usually get worked up over single player or casual gaming. Multiplayer, however... in no particular order:

1. Random as fuck deaths. Usually when I'm blind-sided or the death is unavoidable.
2. Complacent teammates. Feels like "we won the last game, so now we can try less and make more mistakes," stressing the carries more.
3. Highly unbalanced gameplay mechanics and the players who are attracted to those crutches.
4. Getting called out for using experience and prediction to play well, especially when the complainer has in excess of 200 ping.
5. Shitty administration. Also, weaksauce admins.
6. Stagnant gameplay. Usually to the tune of heavy camping with occasional suicide attacks.
7. Inane chat.

That's good for now.

QuickTime events. The stupidest thing game developers came up with

E.g. mash button "X" XX times to break from boss hold, wrap cable around his neck and throw off roof, while you just watching video cutscene

Thank god, apple discontinued QuickTime lib, which functionality was allowing make that easy solution

That's my complains about F2P MMO games like WoT

For MMOs, 2 things, somewhat related.
1. People who assume that if you're playing a female character, that you're female.
2. People who think that playing a female character is weird if you're male.

Stealth segments in non-stealth games.
DLC-required-for-ending or other pay-to-win.
Pretentious artsy games that try to be deep by saying vague, meaningless things.

That's pretty much all I can think of.

PC games that have been lazily ported from console is one of the most annoying things to me. There's no way a gaming rig should struggle to play a game that a sixth-generation console can.

And then there's the "press square to jump" shit when you're not even using a gamepad. It's not a major problem, but it irritates me anyway. Can their massive budget not cover a few new sprites?

Multiplayer mode with no objective. I find it absolutely pointless and end up just getting murdered and or murder them. No goal or point in even playing

Like many have said, the camera. There's nothing more annoying than a fixed camera (except in some platfomer type games, such as Crash Bandicoot)

• PC Games with no gamepad support/no traditional gamepad support: Come on! Not every of us have a X360 or a PS3. I've had this controller for years (can't remember how many). I have to use a second program to be able to use it (emulates a 360 controller). I don't have this problem with Skullgirls

Sports games.
Crappy gameplay.
Too much stuff happening in the same place.
Sports games.
As Nimmy said, areas not accesible on single player mode
Dumb AI making the game too easy
Smart AI making the game too hard
Unskippable intro sequences that play again every time you restart a level
Long ass/Huge levels where you have to pick everything or go back and forth to complete it.
Indestructible enemy spawners

And I think that's all... I probably missed some but those are the most that I remember

When levels are not clear on where to go.

As it has been said here so many times: forced / unchangeable camera angles that make it difficult or right impossible to see your target / enemy / the obstacle right in front of you.

That's one of my favourite games, actually. If you're having problems with QTEs, try

• Cooling down and focusing on the task. Really, the right mentality can make a difference.
• Changing the difficulty to the easiest setting. Useful for things like getting the Ludwig Von trophy on the level Jayden Blues.

Have you ever played any of the original Spyro games?

When the last boss fight incorporates none of the gameplay elements you've utilized throughout the game. I'm looking at you, MGS2.

EsalRider said:

Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Mario64, Gex, Portal (you have the gun, but still counts)... the list could go on... if I knew more games

Boss fights that only give you the illusion of playing a boss fight. Far Cry 3 was the worst for that I've ever seen. You cannot fail as long as you press the stupid quicktime event button, and there was no penalty for hitting the wrong button. I just mashed the controller with my thumb-meat and won flawlessly.

I hate it when a game forces you to backtrack through places you've already been.

Except from Arkham City; that one's OK.

Peekaboo said:

I am kind of a Star Wars fan, but not a Jedi/force fan. I hate when you have "I'm magically better than everyone and kill large groups of mooks effortlessly" powers.

So yeah, I guess add 'games where you're overwhelmingly more powerful than many people' to the list.

And when NPCs and characters just fucking fawn over how awesome and wonderful you are, and how 'oh this would all be impossible without you', or 'gosh I admire you so much for your outstandingly average abilities'. This one goes out to Ace Combat 5 especially.

Games that give you a 1 in 100 chance of completing a necessary task.

Here's some more now that I'm awake and can channel my rage properly. :3

1. So-called "flavor of the month" balance changes. These seem like arbitrary decisions where gear or powers are regularly buffed and nerfed such that they are brought in and out of viability without solid reasoning. I felt this way about GW1 but also the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG.

2. The "community" complaining hard about valid balance changes, chewing out devs (want to get your opinions ignored?), and general meddling with things they have no concept over. I know this can contradict #1, so some of this is subjective determination. ME3:MP.

3. Brief mention for toxic gaming communities. Although I haven't played them myself, I watched my friend struggle with the communities of LoL and others MOBAs. Probably every MOBA...

4. No clear end-game. Really important for people like me who have difficulty regulating themselves and can develop habitual addictions, although I've adapted a lot. I can grind monotonously until I reach my threshold, but pointless grinding feels bad. Hellgate: London.

5. Crucial decision points where both options lead to hours of unique gameplay. This is good for some people, but not me. I chose my path, so I don't want to replay the game, which bores me for any game, and decide on something that does not reflect me just to "unlock" the rest of the game. Witcher 2.

6. Terminal beta development/crowdfunding/pre-release purchases. So I agree with these concepts in principle because they bring some important advantages to the table for both devs and gamers. Still, the gamers are not getting a full gaming experience and now bugs and other issues are to be excused. I wonder how many supporters will still retain their enthusiasm for these games when/if they enter the release stage. F2P without exclusive P2W schemes is okay...

Honorable mention to Larian Studios's new Divinity game with a $40 alpha, I mean really now...

7. Heavily recycled area designs and foreseeable end-game gear/powers/gameplay. These aren't directly related, but both cause me to lose interest fast because I can pretty much guess how gameplay will feel for the rest of the game. Oblivion and Drakensang.

Enough tears for now.

Simcity 5 DRM... Just awful.

When the game saves a checkpoint in which you instantly die after spawning at it.

Cutedementia said:

Once I had the misfortune of killing my savegame in Jedi Outcast. I was using quicksaves to save my progress between checkpoints. I missed a jump and fell into a bottomless pit. I went ahead to press the quickload button but I accidentally pressed quicksave instead. While still falling. And I managed to save at the very last moment before the character reaches the death zone. I've tried reloading the game and quickly going to the menu and turning on noclip mode to save myself but I didn't even have a fraction of a second to react. So yeah... Reload → instant death.

Maybe it was the button layout...

Lets see, hackers with aimbot.
those Ai that can snipe with shotguns
games with stealth where you cant suppress gunshots or the second you shoot someone every badyguy in the area turns towards you an does custers last stand.
Ai that can see you though walls
games where you have to pay money to play or to have any fun.

Escorted or guard missions where either the allied units run around like chickens with their heads cut off or just stand there and get turned into bloody Swiss cheese.
games where in pvp, users arnt divided into groups where everyone has equal amount of chance to win. Ives seen to many games where you have Max Lvl players fighting teams of low lvls and they just chew through them like tissue paper.
Games where you have asshats screaming at you about how you let that 100 level juggernaut player kill you and cap the point, and you are a) a low level and b) the only one defending!!!!

Oh oh oh!

TEABAGGERS!

Yeah you killed me so what. Specially in those games with cloaking mechanics plus shotguns. Its like yeah so what you walked up to me while invisable and shot me in the face, you haz such big kahoness macho man, not.

Protip: If you only play shooters single player that are good single player games, you never have to deal with anyone else's assholery.

It's not that it's too hard, it's that it just doesn't feel like playing a game and I find it a bit annoying and gimmicky. Ah well, opinions.

I also don't like puzzles/riddles, since I'm really bad at them unless they're insultingly easy a la Skyrim

Heh, I have that in amazon snail mail. Still waiting for it to leave the shipping facility. Dmail me if yah want my origin to friend. I don't mind playing with others, Infact I usually play support in those situations.

Planetside 2, I'm on the nearest turret covering your ass, behind a scope up in the hills watching your back (which reminds me of something I'll mention in a moment) or playing medic or mechanic.

Defiance, I have two solo loadouts, 1st is a cloak and dagger long range assassin type, 2nd is a kick down the door bash their faces in assault type, 3rd is a medic with backup offencive capacity in the form of a high power slug shotty. The first has a ,70 Cal automatic sniper rifle and a scoped high power automatic machine pistol. Second has either a light machinegun with scope, syphon nano damage effect. Or an assault rifle with electrocute nano damage with scope and high capacity drum mag. Plus either a grenade launcher, rocket launcher, or 1 of three types of energy shotgun.

Anyway, as I was saying about Planetside 2, I was supporting my platoon during a compound invasion, I'm scoped on a hill maybe 100 yards away (really far honestl which just makes this even more incredible) anyway my teamlead is centered in my scope and I'm knocking down guys all around the compound, mostly snipers like me who pick bad hiding spots, so he turns the corner and enters a buildings doorway, I see muzzle flashes going off and zip shot into the doorway.

My bullet passes centimeters over my teamleaders shoulder, and splits this engineer who was laying mines around the doorway a new eye in his head.
Planetside 2 has bullet drop physics, and I was using a suppressor which increases the drop rate. My teamlead was like "what the hell just happened and why am I still standing?" XD it was fucking awesome!

Actually I think most problems I have with games are due to the fact that I'm bad at them.

Invisible walls in sandbox games. *cough*New Vegas*cough*

F*cking mountains. I dunno what it is about these things, but in sandbox games they really piss me off. Maybe it's because I like to try and avoid abusing any fast travel system that doesn't have an in-universe justification, but I'd also like to get where I'm going sometime soon, and these things are basically, like, visible-invisible walls.

Unskippable story segments in games. I didn't say 'cut scenes' in particular because while they're the usual offender, there're story segments in games that aren't necessarily cut scenes, but still unskippable. Basically, like, any segment in Half-Life 1 or 2 where your progress is stopped cold so that they can throw plot at you. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the story of the Half-Life series, and it's kind of neat how they try to keep you in the story by avoiding cut scenes, but I've played both games several times over already, I know the story, but because of this decision to avoid traditional cut scenes, I can't just skip the story I already know and get on with what I actually wanted to replay the game for; the game!

Games series that are the exact same game re-released over and over again every year, and yet are infuriatingly successful. *cough*Madden*cough*CoD*cough*Mega Man*cough*.

Games that are more story than gameplay. I love you MGS, but it would be nice if I could play you instead of watch you. Especially MGS4; that hour or so of actual gameplay sandwiched in between all those cut scenes is a blast. Shame there isn't more of it.

Escort Quests

My Add-Ons Fucking up on WoW

Just pay for DLC that should be in the game from the start

Oh, and how could I have forgotten about this one: On-Disc DLC. F*ck you, gaming industry. When a person buys a house, they aren't forced to pay extra for the key to the basement, nor should anyone be charged extra for for stuff that is on the actual disc.

It's like, the main problem I have with this practice is the idea that I'd have to pay extra for something I already paid for. It's like I'm expected to be okay with the idea that I don't own all of something I paid for.

Which leads into another thing that is especially irksome; over-reaching DRM that punishes the honest consumer more than it prevents piracy. Hint to the gaming industry; you can't fight piracy by punishing the people who actually paid for your game.

Bad example with the house, since usually you do have to pay extra if it comes furnished. >_> Otherwise agreed.

There's a special place in hell where evil devs must run the egg and sootstone ore delivery quests from the first Monster Hunter. Those missions require a certain art or finesse. No comment on later Monster Hunter iterations because I haven't played them (I died with the NA servers).

Cutedementia said:

Yep. Played Beyond:Two Souls, and the way the developers banged on about it, you can change entire sections of the game depending on choices.

Of course, really only a few lines of dialogue change and its the same everytime afterwards - the only thing that does change is the endings (after choosing a final multiple choice grr)

Still .. great game - Ellen Page for the win! :3

IMO games in general this generation suck - too linear and easy.
I used to prefer games with lots of backtracking and key hunting, puzzles etc - Resident Evil, Parasite Eve 2, Silent Hill etc

I actually miss the PS1/ PS2 days, the graphics might be terrible, but at least the games were good.
Now we get fantastic realistic graphics and poor gameplay.. (mostly)

Yeah, this is sadly true. I'll admit, I play CoD, but my favorite franchise is Grand Theft Auto. GTA V was a superb game, and I still play it on a regular basis. Call of Duty Ghosts had its slow moments, but I had fun with it.

Games where certain weapons are different in the next game. (COD Ghosts throwing knife is slower)

Game series where the button layout is different in each game. Or it only changes once but you keep hitting the wrong buttons because you're used to the previous layout. Especially annoying when playing on a console.

well ive only had Titanfall for a day an I gota say, it's....not as good as everyones raging about. I doubt it won 75 awards. Aimbots and Hax are infested in it, not even days after it got released, been what? 4 days?

I cant take 2 steps in the game without being headshot from across the map with a shotgun, executed when invisible or punched/shot through walls.

ontop of that the fights are utter chaoss no one fights as a team except the enemy and they don't have even a training VR where you can run around and do whatever you want for as long as you want...hell you cant even create your own matches, its all computer driven, set rule shiet

Well, after playing it I haven't seemed to run into any of these problems, except maybe the shotgun one, but its not all that far ranged, and its more fun than walking naked in a strange place.

No one called you out on this sooooo... yeah man. What's up with that? :3 If you're just referring to games, that's at least a good 60% of all games ever made, not including inspiration taken therein. If you're talking about literally anything... well, was nice knowing you!

I think escort missions should be pretty high on anyone's list. It blows me away that these still get made at all.

I actually don't mind QTEs. Resident Evil 4 is a good example. It wasn't replacement for gameplay, it was 'Hey, we're doing a cutscene now but you're not allowed to RELAX for those. Wake the fuck up!'
Also if they result in a lot of gore (win or lose) I generally approve.
No More Heroes had QTEs down to a fine art. Most fights involved a lot of finishers and it just felt SO GOOD to just throw your arms and land a completely unnecessary pile-driver causing a guys head to explode.

I don't think there's any one element in a game that will make me loathe it. It's all about the over-all experience. Like in movies, I'm not a big fan of romantic sub-plots, but it can work sometimes! (Tim Burton's Batman Returns had a fantastically twisted romance that actually felt like it mattered!)

Oh, that said, if your game has nothing but pop culture references for it's 'humour'... it's probably a shitty game. I'm looking at YOU, World of Warcraft.

I just realised I've just finished South Park: The Stick of Truth and that has a TON of pop-culture jokes.
While I actually found it a pretty fun and funny game, you can bet your ass it's going to age VERY poorly.

Well, here's something.

Wow. I'm constantly blown away at South Korean eSports. I'd say it was sad someone wants to devote their life to a videogame, but this is coming from someone who wants to spend his life making videogames so...

I'm also not sure how to feel about a guy who managed to botch falling off a 12 storey building. I don't think he had to commit suicide to expose corruption on his team. I guess it's a culture thing.
