Things That s**t Me (Video Game edition)

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

Something which annoys me is if you accidentally speak to someone and you cannot quickly get out of the conversation. Also if you cannot speed up conversations.

I wish there were more challenging games these days.

> unskippable cutscenes
> uncustomisable viewpoints for your character, like not being able to zoom out a bit to see what's around you
> Nintendo's potential to complete my life against the actual sheer disappointment
> stickers on game cases that tear and/or leave glue residue
> people who flip collectible games and consoles on ebay, driving prices to silly levels
> how every second staff member in EB games stores tries to sound uber cool when they speak, e.g. everone's a "dude"
> lack of game manuals or just really cheap crappy ones
> god-awful gameplay flaws like in AFL Live (first one)
> story moments that disconnect you from the immersion, like where a protagonist does something you disagree with (Last of Us)
> overly linear games like FFVIII, Beyond: Two Souls and many, many more modern games, that with a bit more free exploration would be amazing
> COD bashing, particularly from people who still buy the games but who think it makes them sound like a seasoned pro to say how s**t they are

Everything about GTA online.

The fact you spend 80% of time in menus, the fact I cant play with crews, the fact missions last 3 mis, the fact it just asked me to drive 5 mins to a mission that I got insta-killed at and was forced to spectate.

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

I was thinking of that when I was typing it. And Dragon Quest 5 which I have been playing again recently. Thankfully in the DS remake of OOT, the conversation stuff can be sped up.

 

[grrofunger]

would you like disc protection with that?

 

[BotsMaster]

Region protected consoles (looking at you Nintendo).

 

[The Big Sauce]

When that car you sticky bombed in GTA Online was insured for $12,500.

 

[Crows_United_FC]

Definitely DLC. "Hey we could have included this is the game, but we just want more of your ******* money". We already pay 60-90 dollars for games, we don't need to pay more for something that should have been in the game to start with.

HAHA this. I love the look on the guy/girl's face when I say "nah, I won't throw the disc around"

 

[The Big Sauce]

DLC doesn't annoy me by itself.

Day one DLC & pre order bonuses s**t me to tears, the latter is counter intuitive to finding the cheapest price (which is the whole point of it).

EA Servers. Back when I had congestion from Bigpond. One little change in latency and the six line circle comes up, followed by an error message, also followed multiple things being broken.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

The mushroom speed thingy on Mario Kart 64 is weak as piss.

Does bugger all.

How am I meant to overlap you like i can on Bowser's Castle in Super Mario Kart on Super Nintendo?

 

[Cynic]

How 99% of RPGs tend to devolve into grinding

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

When your favourite video game series turns into a steaming mound of s**t.

See: Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Silent Hill, etc.

I like Downpour. *shrug*

 

[benchwarmer5]

Rockstar cloud servers
I still can't play online

 

[benchwarmer5]

I like Downpour. *shrug*

Each to their own I guess but for me that game was a absolute turd

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I like Downpour. *shrug*

I actually never played Downpour (have it sitting there though). After 3 the series just went downhill fast. 4 was an OK game but it didn't feel like a Silent Hill game.

 

[Mister Carlton]

DLC taking forever to come out for a favorite game.

 

[Summer Nights]

People who speed-run their first play-through of big titles just so they can post how good they are.

 

[Conan Troutman]

A lack of offline multiplayer games.

Especially 4 player split-screen shooters and racers.

This x 1000. Not even Need For Speed has local multiplayer anymore, what the * is that? I play a lot of sport games when I have mates over because it's basically the only genre that caters to 'party' multiplayer.


Local co-op is also pretty much dead. Used to love going through games' campaign/career modes with friends. Just can't do it anymore.

 

[Gentlemen]

Game series where the quality decreases as the popularity increases.

(elder scrolls, call of duty, battlefield etc etc)
