Enemies respawning in areas I just came from. Damn you Far Cry 2!
Hot chicks that never get naked.
[QUOTE=BmB;22924568]Do you have some sort of disability that prevents you from playing timed missions or what?[/QUOTE] They are annoying and unfair. For example, there is this course you have to drive or run or do, which takes 10 minutes which you do suprisingly well, but suddenly you crash into something and takes 3 seconds of your time. because of that you lose and have to drive 10 minutes again, and so on. Also for example you miss the fucking goal by 1 fucking second.
[QUOTE=Murkat;22926561]Hot chicks that never get naked.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't that be for a thread called "Things that piss you off all the time"?
cutscenes.
The pulse rifle from Aliens verses predator. Games usually add feedback to each shot with sound and by making the controller vibrate, but that thing just felt and sounded like a fucking hose.
when your about to finish a helicopter mission in TBoGT and you crash when you land
[QUOTE=Dumba$$;22922035]RPG enemies who level up with you. Take Oblivion. If i spend early levles considering Goblins to be a threat, i want to at least know that when i get higher up i can just bitch-slap them into submission. Also: to the dude ranting about snipers: Ahem. you clearly are sore because you dont like getting headshotted. Snipers ARE sorta popular, my proof being that the term "goddammit i fucking hate sniper-whores" is actually now in the oxford dictionary [sp]Not really[/sp]. What pisses me off is how any sniper who holds a position and kills people is automatically named a camper. A sniper holds an advantagous position, and uses it to make the enemy keep their heads down, in the interests of keeping their heads. A campre gets a big gun, stand in fornt of a spawn, and camps. /intellectual rant.[/QUOTE] Enemies that don't level up with you get boring. IE: Pokemon

Battlefield 1943, when [B]your whole team[/B] waits on the carrier for a plane to spawn and no one even plays.

[QUOTE=imawerewol;22865036]Escort missions.[/QUOTE] This, i think I've never played a fun escort mission, why do they keep putting them in?.
[QUOTE=Sie-Sveinhund;22864601]When a game gives you a cool ability and only one chance to use it. Yes, RDR, you and your stealth kills are exactly what I'm talking about.[/QUOTE] And the inverse of this, when a game gives you a cool ability halfway through the game (or even at the beginning) that makes the rest of the game way too easy. For example, pistol in Ass Creed II.
I hate when you get some super-cool thing at the END of the game. I know it's happened a lot to me, but I can't recall some examples... For now, I remember like in the end of Super Mario 64, once you get all the stars, you get 100 lives and a sparkly super-jump from Yoshi. What the fuck are you supposed to do with it now? Collect 120 'blue' stars, the ones that you've already gotten? While I'm ranting, I'll also add stuff like people stealing anything, be it kills or objectives. And by objectives, an example would be bomb defusing despite you just took out a load of people... Or in a CTF match, you run the 'flag' up to the cap point and someone kills you, and the guy on your team, jerking off right next to him, takes his time killing the dude, only to pick up the 'flag' and capture it and earn the points himself.
Linear games.
Fixed cameras. "[B]GOD DAMMIT, THIS IS THE THIRD FUCKING TIME I'VE DIED , ALL BECAUSE THE CAMERA LIKES TRASH CANS![/B]"
Escort missions where the person you escort dies in the cutscene anyway. THANKS FOR WASTING MY FUCKING TIME!
Enemies Holding Shotguns.
I can't stop a reload animation and just change weapon. Killing Floor pisses me off with this since I'm a reloadaholic. Also when you can't use fast switch with your mouse wheel but have to see a little picture of what weapon your going to chose then click to choose it.(Killing Floor again) Oh and goddamn it I hate puzzles in games that have no logical answers. For example just pushing a rock or something totally insignificant is all you need to continue.I'm talking about you Tomb Raider Legend.
when a game gives you a cool ability only to take it away from you half way through the game Fuck you haze
When in some Source Games when joining or loading into a server or playing singleplayer, you click the cancel button, but it doesn't cancel, then you have to click disconnect when you're ingame.
"OH FUCK I JUST GOT SHOT IN THE FACE WHILE MAKING A PB&J SANDWICH, OH FUCK THE JELLY'S ON MY FACE OH GOD." Yeah.
Enemy birds, especially the ones in The first Prince of Persia.

Crawling zombies
Lack of scale in singleplayer campaigns. When people with any kind of random numbers or randomly capitalized letters join, like 'kIllEr23 has joined' People running away when I try to heal them/give ammo to them. People lone-wolfing in team based games (Though I personally am guilty of this.) Pretty much anything pisses me off in some way, shape, or form
When you can shoot through ragdolls (I have no idea why this bothers me so much, it just does.) Time/Escort/Grinding missions DJ fucking Atomica from Burnout Paradise
