Nearly impossible games. Any genre, but main ones are shooters. (Boss patterns that are immposible to not get killed by.)
my two rants having a sniper rifle shooting all over the place because you don't look through the scope,as if the cannon bends in all directions if you shoot from the hip,of course it won't be accurate,but damn if i "aim" in front of me,i don't expect the shot to hit the wall 10 feet away from where i aim bad voice acting for example,Far Cry 2 graphics are over the top excellent,gameplay is good (except for the driving parts),the game is challenging in higher difficulties (not like other games that are still easy at hard),AI is bad but.... v:v:v BUT they couldn't put any :effort: in the voice acting. All the characters sound like they have downs or if the voice actor didn't give two shits about what he says,as long as he have a paycheck [QUOTE=fish puncher;22867274]Unnecessary sequels. Doesn't final fantasy have nearly 20 games?[/QUOTE] except for FFX which have X2,none of these games are sequels to the first one they have the same title and universe,but they all have a different story and characters but i do agree that maybe they should stop making them and start doing something different
When lazy fucking devs use laser beam aim or shooting/seeing through walls/objects as an excuse for good AI.
When a game makes you press a button repeatedly beyond what is possible. (that one mission in Starfox Adventures for example :argh: )

if you have to defend an NPC Missions with timers. I absolutely HATE missions where it says 'you have to do this within 2 minutes'. AI that can smell you if you're behind them NPCs that go to a computer and press random buttons which is supposed to make it look like the NPC is actually doing really advanced stuff on the computer. Maps that contain swamps/huge open areas/warehouses. Unlimited enemy spawns Games without a navigator thing like a map or radar or something. If you can't play anymore after you've completed the story.

Completing a great game.
Games that have radically different controls from the standard for the genre.

[QUOTE=fish puncher;22867274]Unnecessary sequels. Doesn't final fantasy have nearly 20 games?[/QUOTE] None of the numbered Final Fantasy games are sequels or prequels.
Lack of customizable controls.
When you find a teammate in a horror game, just to see him die off a few minutes later. When you're teammate is on the other side of some obstacle, and "Oh, fiddlesticks, I am a specially trained soldier, but this 3 foot fence is too hard to climb over. I guess I'll have to meet up with you on the other side. Don't worry, you just have to go through an enemy base all alone, I'll be the very end, waiting.
[QUOTE=Bert the Turtle;22871824]Races in non racing games. "FUCK YOU THIS IS NOT A RACING GAME, I DON'T WANT TO RACE"[/QUOTE] Definetly this.
Any multiplayer game where vehicles have a spawn time; fuck you Battlefield I don't want to wait 5 minutes for a helicopter only for some idiot to teamkill me to get it. Tribes 2 solves this by having a terminal to spawn vehicles, but there's a max amount for each vehicle type. Nightvision goggles that don't do shit. Terrible hit detection (KILLING FLOOR :argh:) Having to download dozens of tiny updates after not playing for a long time, instead of one bigger one.

Having responsibility/to look after a NPC. From Dead Rising Escort missions(don't get me started...), to Oblivion quest related NPCs(you know, when you assault the Kvatch castle and the lvl 2 Captain charges a few daedra lords, that kinda thing). The worst thing about it is that you don't actually care about them, it's just a case of it having to be done.
Mw2 Noob Tubing.. Or Modern Warfare 2 in General.

Another thing that pisses me off; the mystical 'chosen one'. Even if it's not explicit or even storywise or such, YOU are the only one or the main person to stop the bad guys. YOU are the one to destroy the evil plans. And when it IS literally 'chosen one syndrome', YOU were born as if pre-planned by god to stop whatever this chaos was. Now, granted, I see some reasoning. It'd be boring if, as a player, you weren't at the height of the action. But storywise, barely any of the shit makes logical sense. Pokemon games especially, where the first games had you as just another trainer rising to greatness the hard way, while later games had you in some sort of 'fated position'.

[QUOTE=Jurikuer;22877884]Games that don't have proper demos, you play them and think they are worth the buy only to find out the best part was in the demo and everything after that is shit.[/QUOTE] Mirrors Edge? Games with really retarded/cliched plot twists (Bionic Commando), and also tell you to do things to unlock new combat moves only to say 'LULZ U KANT YOUSE DIS YET' (Bionic Commando). The moral of the story is don't play Bionic Commando if you hate retarded stuff.

Those stupid friendly AI that doesn't do shit then only blocking my way.
*Games that try to do something that their genre isn't compatible with. That is, racing in non-racing games, stealth in FPS's etc. *When the AI can do things you can't. You see this in all sorts of FPS single player games, your allies roll into cover, stack against walls, but you're restricted to running up to a wall and pressing your head against it. *Bad AI, either stupid enemies or stupid Allies. *Not being in control, I'm playing a game to take part, putting all the cool stuff out of my reach and putting it in Cut-scenes or Quick time event's is no fun, no matter how pretty it is. *Unclear Instructions, I don't want to be left blind, it's a game, fun is in order. That said, I don't want everything laid out black and white, be vague or semi general, Morrowind Style. *Repetitive and uninspired stories. You are the chosen one! No I don't want to be the Chosen One, I bought Oblivion to run about Cyrodill and kill peasants! *Half arsed effort. This is a broad thing, it can range to poor voice acting, glaring flaws in gameplay mechanics or mapping or imbalanced weaponary. *Irregular save points and a lack of quicksave. :argh:
cutscene changing the gun you are holding.
most of the time is the online community, like in MW2.
-Idiot and Trolls on online games -Timed Missions -No Cheats -Stupid AI -Escort Missions -Lag -Games that crash often
Those escort missions in Just cause 2. All the others are fine but in this game.... "Ok I'm almost ther- SHIT TWO MORE ENEMY CARS! MY CAR IS ON FIRE!" *Goes flying into some forest a few feet off from the road* "Ok still have time to get out...." *Runs for a few seconds then looks behind himself.* "Wait...Whats the guy I'm escorting still doing in the ca-" *BOOM! KABOOM! Car explosion sounds* "Lets try that again...." Also the one where you had to escort that lady in a fucking LIMO!
Out of map glitches. They get old fast.
