Most annoying things in video games

Here are mine- Post your thoughts.

When any game doesn't give you good instructions.

When someone in the game expains the game for 20 minutes and there is no skipping it.

In an online game when one player keeps following you around and keeps on beating you.

In a mulitplauer game where you are just learining the controls and all of the experienced players attack you because it is an easy win.

Well before you play online I suggest learning to play the game. Or beat the single player mode first. My biggest peeve in a game is when you die you cant skip a scene that youve already watched.

Escort Missions.

The only good one was in Ace Combat 4.

I liked the ones in RE4, if you can call them that.
But other annoying stuff? Unnesscary sneaking. That's why there's MGS and Splinter Cell.

yeah it stinks when you die and have to see the seen again. But what I hate the most is when they put you in acity and make you run around and find stuff. And go into buildings and... AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH EVIL

True, usually the phamplet gives the overview good enough to at least get started.

I agree, this includes cut scenes for me. Don't really care about the story line for fighting games.

It is annoying, but I've done that soooo many times in Golden Rogue Agent. Just get better or at least change up yoru style.

Thats why you have offline mode. When I'm online, I don't care if a n00b is playing. Stats are stats. Practice in story mode or offline with friends to get prepared for online. Halo people can get ugly for n00bies.

Though one thing I do hate about some games, are games with absoluetly no replay value. You know, once u beat the game, you really don't have a reason to go back and play more. All fighting games have replay value just because u can fight with different characters or agaisnt people. I guess I mean games like Fusion Frenzy. They already give you all the games, once u go through them all. unless you see one thats alot of fun, pretty much put it in the back of the closet and forget it.

Choppy graphics annoy the hell outta me, especially on a shooter.

Isn't that giving good instructions though? Or are you talking about plot/dialouge scenes? Yeah long cutscenes suck, usually because they end up being dragged out and boring.

Heh yeah, if you're going to play multiplayer or online you need to be pretty good at the game to stand a chance against some people. If you're a newbie at the game it's good to practice in single player first before jumping to online.

I'd say some of the most annoying things in games would be really cheesy plots or characters that try to act way too overdramatic and end up making the game feel really silly. It ends up being hilarious but it's still annoying.

Puzzles/mini games.
Rarely any of them are worth the waste of my time and barely any contribute to the plot, where the plot would not progress without it.

Acceptable minigames include but are not limited to: blitzball in FFX, and the card game in FF8.

Stealth missions in killing games.


I have nothing against people who can use pot and lead a productive life. It's these sanctimonius hippies that make me wish I was a riot cop in the 60's

I hate when I play a game and I mess up over and over, and the game just says, "HAHA! YOU SUCK!" each time a lose which pisses me off even more.

Unskippable cut-scenes, the amount of memory it takes up, even though it shouldn't have to.

Response to Most annoying things in video games 2006-07-05 20:05:54


i dunno guy, you're dis-likes are rather vague in my opinion... anyway... I don't like:

~spawn-campers
~how often matches become one-sided in the comp's favor in wrestling games...
~people who bash games that are quirky and innovative, like "Katamari Damacy"
~when everyone one your team in an online game is an idiot.
~when games you get really excited about end up sucking (like Marvel Nemisis)
~ the xbox360's "backwards compadibility"
~how the music my 360 is really fitting for custim soundtracks (try listening to They Might Be Giants while playing G.R.A.W)
~The fact that there isn't an X-Men Legends 3
~The Fact that there aren't any wrestling games for the 360 (and that there won't be for a while
~The Fact that it takes a while to level up in Elder Scrolls IV
~The extra monthly fee for Final Fantasy XI.

I'd like to add: excessive faggot 13-year-olds at XBL, backtracking (except in Castlevania), stealthy missions, having no idea what to do next, save spots that are a mile away, shit character designs, and repetitive gameplay.

My number one gripe is glitches:
(e.g. Characters hands/gun/head/etc. goes through the wall.)

Other than that, it's Loading times and Lag. I can't really think of anything else. I love video games too much.

Let's see here...
**glitches in console games...
**when people are random scammer jerks because they have nothing better to do with life
**paying to play a game you already bought
**constantly having to download more patches for online games because people just can't help but find ways to cheat
**actually completing the single player / offline modes of a game, then going online and just because you play different from somebody else having to lsiten / read their useless flaming comments for the next hour and a half wherein they die many more times then you because they're busy trying to rant about how much you suck instead of playing the fuggin' game
**the majority of the warcraft 3 online populace
**last but not least, seeingt as the previous items were not listen in any particular order, how people seem to find it necessary to start spamming "im not a n00b!!" everytime they join a custom game on warcraft 3...

Having to push crates to solve puzzles... Like in Blood Omen and Resident Evil and God of War and Tomb Raider and pretty much every game that has some sort of puzzle.
