What are some things in games that annoy you? Are there certain gameplay mechanics that irritate you? I have a few.
Sequences where you have to push buttons on the controller in time with cues on the screen in order to progress or damage an enemy. Their purpose supposedly is to allow you to pull off fancy looking moves. But it's too easy to screw up, hit the wrong button or hit the right button too slowly forcing you to start all over again. I'm just not good at timed button presses.
Enemies that have one move in their repertoire. Shoving you down any time you get close. I'm currently playing a game with enemies that knock you down every few seconds. They're beatable but it's irritating to fight enemies whose idea of a combat maneuver is shoving you down repeatedly. It takes forever to kill these things. You go in whack em' a couple times, get shoved down, have to recover, rinse, repeat.
-
I hate timed sequences as well. I often hit a wrong button, especially if the sequence goes fast.
I also won't ever play a game that has a fight system like this:
Select action -> wait till your character performs it -> damage enemy -> wait till enemy performs action -> enemy damages you -> repeat
These are soooo boring.
And I don't like games where you aren't controlling your character directly (e.g. point and click). The only exception is Syberia 1 and 2.
P.S. Do you know good games either about exploring and solving puzzles or RPG styled, where you control your character directly (But not shooters!!!)? I liked Digimon World 4 for PS2 (played on an emulator). I was positively surprised with its mechanics, different than in most games like this. If you can recommend some then PM me.

Star Ocean 2. It's dense as hell, but highly rewarding if you have the patience for it.
-
not really part of the game but these are annoying:
games that have a great concept but the devs are only in it for the money.
bugs that the devs just dont really seems to be interested in fixing.
if there is something in a game that i dont like they i just dont play it so it isnt really irritating
-
It actually really irritates me when you can kill certain people in video games, because they're crucial to the story. I'm sorry you guys didn't make multiple storylines, but that's not my fault.

And yet my complaint is that you CAN'T kill certain people. If an important person dies, i'd say the story should suffer accordingly, preferably with disastrous results.
That and games that feel like they could use a healthy dose of Co-Op, but fail to provide any sort of local multiplayer. That just makes me sad.

That actually happens in Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced. The reason nobody dies at the end of a battle is because a dude called a Judge is around to watch a battle. In Jag'd areas, there are no judges so if a party member is dead at the end of the battle, they die. While most party members are silent and are essentially just units, story characters can die too. If they do, they're just gone for the rest of the game and all the cutscenes they're supposed to be in.
-
Games that blatantly advertise payed content within the game. I don't mind if it's like a link on the title screen, but once I'm in the actual game, I don't want them asking me for actual money. I can understand if it's a free to play game, but otherwise I think all in-game purchases should be strictly with in-game money.

Uugh, Injustice did that. You have to watch a DLC-character demo and takes you to the store before you can actually play the game. Super annoying.
-
They are a lot of things, If I were to type them there would be to much.
-
Hey, here's an idiot with all the self preservation skills of a lobotomized, suicidal howler monkey. Guess what? You have to keep this twit alive or you fail the mission. Never mind that they will gleefully rush into crowds of enemies. Never mind that they're too stupid to pick up a health pack when it's right there in front of them. And never mind the fact that you could do this Dimwit's job better if they'd just give you that option. Never mind all that. Now babysit this brain dead flunky or you'll never see the end of the game you paid for.
-
I've often told my brothers and friends that Elder Scrolls Oblivion feels incomplete to me.
So I'd say that games that lack content gets under my skin.
I play a lot of RTS (real time strategy) games and despite how much I enjoy them, they often feel very underwhelming.
-
Does everything in Flappy Bird count? x_x
-
Losing lives at the same point. Over. And over. And over. And over again. Truly hardcore mode at its best. Ugh.
-
EVERYTHING MUST BE...DARK...AND GRITTY...
-
Gimmicky controls. For example, requiring you to shake the wiimote to do a basic attack. It makes combat far less accurate than if it were a button press. Or like how Super Mario 3D World has a few levels that require using the touch screen. Or how Mario Kart DS battle mode makes you blow in the microphone to inflate your balloons. Why did they have to do this? It really doesn't add anything substantial to the game and just makes it more annoying.
(You might notice from my examples that Nintendo is a frequent perpetrator of this kind of thing. Though they certainly aren't the only ones doing it.)
-
Terrible tutorials that hold your paw the entire way, telling you word-by-word in a boring text box you have to read:
the 'A' button makes you jump. Press 'A' longer to jump higher.
Time your jumps to overcome tricky obstacles!
You can't skip it, you can't make the text go faster, you have to read the entire thing because the game is catering only toward brand-new game players by using no-nonsense verbose wordage.
There are much better ways to make tutorials. Simply think about using most people's natural curiosity and drive to overcome obstacles to teach concepts. Instead of literally telling us 'A' makes up jump. Give the players a wall, show a little graphic indicating 'A' does something, and let them figure out the rest. People remember the lessons much better and have a much higher sense of achievement and enjoyment if you do this.
Bonus 7-min video analyzing what makes up a "good" tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCPcn-Q5nKE)

A massive dislike for me is missiins that take forever to do ha e no actual relevence to the plot and doesnt reward you in any way the name gta five comes to mind the yoga missikn and a few more.i have a dislike for fanboys not the normal fanboy the sort of person who would kill for the game or console.however it is funny when the clash for example the playsation ,xbox,pc argument
-
... it is funny when the clash for example the playsation ,xbox,pc argument
Yes, especially since pc's are clearly better. ... ;)

PCs are God-tier
nothing is better
(I still kinda want a PS4, tho)

Games that rely on a save point feature, where the save points are very far apart.
Seriously, I just want to get to a save because it's 3 AM and I need to go to work in a few hours, why do I have to beat a boss after almost an hour of getting there in order to save?!
Also, whenever a modern console/PC game, especially one that you paid for, starts pushing you to buy DLC for upgrades and stuff. That stuff drives me bonkers. I get this in Free-to-Play games, where that's how they get their money, but even there it can get excessive and annoying. And it really has no business being in full-priced games like Assassin's Creed Unity or Metal Gear Solid V.
-
Along with in game purchases, another related thing that irritates me is the push to get people to pre-order with things like in-game exclusive content and such. The problem is, this removes some of the incentive for the devs to make a good game, and instead has them riding on hype to make their money. And ultimately I think this sort of thing is bad for the consumers and leads to inferior games.

I might have inherited this from my dad (who introduced me to gaming when he got me a PS3), but it really ticks me off when games don't have local multiplayer. I remember back in 2006 when I had to BEG my dad to buy more controllers so I could play games with my friends. Now, I hardly ever use more than one. If anyone remembers Ridge Racer, it was a driving sim that my dad and I used to play for hours on end. Obviously it's outdated now, so when Driveclub for PS4 came out, I got excited because I thought we would play it like RR, but it doesn't have local because apparently people only wanna play online nowadays. The only multiplayer games on my PS4 are Minecraft and Rocket League. I am desperately hoping they make more.
-
I miss a good old game called timesplitters loved that game when i was little local play and just a mix of treamfortress and cod all in one which was really fun I love that just it isnt madeany morecostheco.pany made ahorriblegame called haze theysoo need to do a reboot

Nintendo still seems to be pretty good about supporting local multiplayer. Though they generally don't focus on online play as much. Which is perfectly fine for me 'cause I don't usually care for online play anyways.

I've always been more of a Sony fan, but I can remember playing on my friend's Wii U for the first time. See, I'm really close with his parents, so whenever I come over we always like to play games together, and we played that one party game with the ghost maze. That was the most fun night ever. I really like party games, but it seems he only ones who make them are Nintendo, who I don't really care for their other games. Maybe Sony will release some party games in the future.

A pet peeve for gaming is when you are either:
1). spoon fed the missions, not tutorials, but every time to are trying to do it. It's like a puzzle with a side character going do this dot his!! I was gong to do this, I'm not stupid!!!
2). When a game promises you all these spells, characters, summons, etc etc etc, you can do but the storyline gets most-all of them for you. I kinda feel this to be annoying because i felt that the game promised me something that iwas to find myself and had given me choices to explore....then took them all away
3). Bugs, hackes, continuity errors....(table flip below)

When someone tries to manipulate a games features and glitches to their advantage. Like when I play team fortress 2 and someone builds a teleporter outside the map and is essentially flying in the sky and shooting people with a birds eye view.
-
Intrusive DRM, excessive hand holding, and dumbing down.
-
Unskippable cut scenes.... especially game-engine-rendered on rails segments. DXHR I'm looking at you! If I'm not making any game-changing decisions, for the love of God let me skip it >:C
-

I could forgive a game for not letting you skip the scene the first time. But after that, yeah you should be able to skip it. The worse is when they have an unskippable cutscene just after a save point but before a difficult fight. Oh what, you died? Well now you have to watch this again. >:(

Yes! First playthrough, that's fair enough... but for NG+ they should assume I'm somewhat aware of what's going on :P
-

Yeah, but even if it's not NG+, just replaying through the game. Like when starting a second character in skyrim, I don't want to have to sit through that long opening again.
Another thing I find annoying, is when games make you grind for stuff as a way to pad out the game.

YeH I like red faction guerrilla ut you need to look for scrap all the time

Playing WoT on Xbox > friend turns on laptop > epic tank drift > lands in lake > Game Over!
(True story bro!)

Other games:
I hate it when you hav-You know what, forget it. I can handle anything that isn't lag. Seriously, some things are a little annoying, but i can DEAL with them. Four-second lag is game-breaking.
-
This is gonna sound really nerdy of me, but I can't stand it when people are tryhards in online games. Usually, I'm a pretty calm person and I don't get mad at games, but I get really annoyed when someone will kill me over and over using cheap tactics when I'm not even fighting them >:(
-
As a fan of JRPG, I've to be lucky if I wanted to obtain cool items after winning the battle. RPG games use RNG to decide whether the player is going to obtain the desired items or otherwise. It's frustrating when I killed so many same enemies over and over but won't get the item.
-
One word, LAG.
-
A multichoice story/gameplay that gives no conseqence, reward, or diffrent ending; kind of like in C&C and in KHII
-
I think most people would agree with me when I say squeakers.
A squeaker is someone who is 10 or younger and playing a game like call of duty or halo and has a Mic. They are often extremely annoying, will call people a hacker or cheater when they get killed and sometimes cry into their mics.

Unbalanced Characters

It just needed to be said. :P

I loathe dlc and microtransactions I really do most are not worth the money used to get em (there are of course exeptions) but EA is probably the biggest offender right next to the cod franchise I miss ps2 where you bought the game and if you wanted that cheat code or gun you had to work to get it and do things and the game wasnt half finished and the rest sold as dlc you bought a game you got a game and dlc for older consoles was the second installment
-
Castlevania 2's day night sequence that isn't skippable, Dark Soul's PS3 jump controls (You hold "O" to run and press again to jump), the ragdoll physics being taken out of Dark Souls 2, Dead Rising's whole deal with constantly having to obtain Zombrex in the second game, Megaman's password system(just is weird), and MGGS3's camo system. I love it but it doesn't make sense half the darn time. Resident Evil 4's mechanic with the character Ashley. I'm sure that I can think of way more, but this is it for now.

Whenever I'm in a game of competitive matchmaking and their are smurfs on the other teams.
Smurf: A small blue man that lives in a mushroom
^ literal term
Smurf: A person who decides to fake their rank in an ELO style ranking game, Ex. Silver is where noobs are, Diamond is where very good people are, and the Diamond players make a new account to play in Silver
-
Most above all? Lag! Games don't make people violent, lag does!
-
1. People who will do whatever they can to cheat at whatever the cost. >:(
2. People/friends that you thought would be on your "team", then one or more of them "backstabs" you or others so to speak to accomplish his/her own selfish goals. >:(
-
When i start playing a game, absolutely love it, and then inexplicably stop playing it, often right before the end. I have no idea why i keep doing this.
Also, when skill no longer has any part in your success within a game. May as well just burn your time at a slot machine, you might even have more fun that way. :P
-
People who try way too hard to win in non competitive games. It's ok to try your best at games where winning or losing matters (CSGO, LOL) but doing it in games where it doesn't matter it just gets rage inducing.
-
Games thathave day one dlc or even dlc at all games used to ma.ge fine without dlc they just added stuff in updates and if its a free game have things that dont affect gameplay team fortress for example with the endless hat also on a side note . Not sure if this counts but half life three is t here yet lord gaben why hath you forsaken us noooooooooooo ahem bit off topic there sorry
-
Enemies never run out of ammo. Especially on harder difficulties, they just keep flying. (Mass Effect/Halo).
-
In a local multiplayer game; being so good at said game that your friends stop wanting to play it with you. It's lonely at the top. :'(
Also, in Black Ops II, i haven't found any real counters to enemy AGRs and Stealth Choppers. The guided missile launcher is absolute garbage i tell you!
-
Escort missions!
-
The game being way too easy, or way too hard. This is less irritating to me if the game has an awesome storyline though.

Locked due to gravedigging.
