What pisses you off in video games?

[SuperMegaWalrus]

Single or multi. For me I'd have to say when everyone hides at the end of a free for all. The two people who actually have a chance of winning run around desperately looking for the last kill while everyone else hides. Winning becomes a crap shoot. Suddenly the map turns into a ghost town and you know the 1 or 2 other players that have enough points to win aren't hiding because they'd never find anyone- just the faggots that don't have a chance of winning. It's as if they think they can make up for 10 kills in the last 10 seconds of the game by hiding. I don't get it.

Now you.

[xhjbta]

Yeah, I experience this quite frequently when i play free for all in Call of Duty 4. As for piss off's to me, I would have to say it can be a lot of little things; Dying by random grenades, people spawning behind me, shit like that.

[Soak A Toa]

There's a lot that pisses me off, but one that stands out is in Gran Turismo 4. There are all these driving missions you can do with various tasks to complete, and the very last one was retarded.

Basically it's a one-lap run around an 11 kilometer track (Nurburghring) and you have to wait on the starting line for 2 whole fucking minutes while you wait for all the slower cars to go to "even" out the time distribution.

Well that wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to suffer every time you fuck up and have to start over, which happens a lot.

I never played that game again. I lost faith in humanity.

[PsiRedEye22]

I seriously hate clipping bugs in almost every game there is, whether it's your own character falling through a floor, an untargetable enemy IN the floor, some glitched guy making his OWN floor, clipping bugs just piss me off.

[rand0m]

I hate playing a game that has been raved about and idolised only to be smashed in the face with a standard boring shooter ... <cough>bioshock<cough>halo3<cough>

That been said playing a 'baddly reviewed' game and been totally taken back by it is a good thing, but then you realise that it'll never get the recognition it deserves.

[dwarfer]

Basically any game where theres an incredibly difficult part that involves a ridiculous time limit.

[Total Madman]

Basically any game where theres an incredibly difficult part that involves a ridiculous time limit.

I'm with you, it stops the game being fun, and makes you wonder why the developers thought it'd be a good idea to just piss off the player.

Also, when you get killed by a random enemy that has been hiding when you're like 10 seconds away from the next checkpoint and have to do a really hard part all over again.

It also pisses me off that when I'm playing single player shooters, enemies will only ever attack me when I'm reloading and there's nothing I can do about it.

I hate people like you that complain about awesome video games.

[Mr.SelfDestruct]

I hate people that whine about stupid shit in a game.

i.e.

WoW- People bitch all the time about "premades". A premade is basically a group of players that get together beforehand, twink out the best they can, and enter the PvP battlegrounds. They say that premade groups are unfair, and shouldn't be allowed, or should have their own special PvP lists. I mean, why? They should be punished because they took the time to plan ahead for success? Should all twinks be forced to face other twinks than? Should they be made to wait for that one extra premade group to show up after a couple hours? Don't bitch about it, join a premade.

Tribes 2- There's a portion of the community that complains about o-sniping, or oob-sniping.
-O-sniping literally means offensive sniping. It's when a player takes shots at the enemy's base, either to distract/annoy the enemy, or to destroy deployed defenses (or, usually in the case of newbies, to try to get easy kills).
-Oob-sniping means to snipe from beyond the out of bounds grid. The reasoning against this is two-fold. One, they claim the OOB grid is meant as a barrier where players shouldn't go beyond, which is partially true. The actual reason it's there is to keep the flag from getting too far away from the bases. Their second reasoning, is that a decent sniper could force a defender, or multiple defenders to come after him away from the main area of combat. That, of course, is exactly the purpose of harrassing an enemy like that, to force them to use up time chasing you down. One less defender is one less defender.

Various things like that. Stupid nonsense rules. Complaints about various weapons in a game, or various tactics. Camping, for example, in CTF games. I mean, wtf?

[Lividum]

When I spend 5 hours leveling/searching for some item in an RPG, feeling pretty good about beating the shit out of the enemies, and then having some unexpectedly strong thing pop up that wipes my party out before I know what happens because I'm in a false sense of security.

That shit is the worst.

[Dane]

COD4... Multiplayer...

When I use a sniper this sometimes happens: I hold my breath and my crosshair is directly on the enemy. I shoot and nothing happens. I try again and still nothing. By this time the enemy knows where I am and of course I die. It's obviously a bug in the game and it really pisses me off that I have to die because of it. It can happen at any time, but mostly happens when the enemy is very far away or is somewhere they are not supposed to go on the map like the roof of the building in Overgrown.
At this point im so close to breaking my controller. The fact that I got killed by a guy that didn't outsmart me or was more skilled than me, but was aided by a bug, really pisses me off.

Also dying from random nades. Especially because I only play Search And Destroy.

When it's going bad for me, but the rest of my team are kicking ass. I feel like im only there for comic relief.

And also when im just playing bad it pisses me off. When I just had a Search and Destroy round with a score of 10/0 it pisses me off to join a game and then not kill shit.

[Thomson]

S&D on CoD4

when a sniper picks the bomb up and fucking hides in a bush at the back of the map.

snipers shouldn't be picking the bomb up AT ALL.

plus they've made it way too easy to nade spam on team games from spawn.

[Nickster]

Shitty pathfinding. Baldur's Gate 2 and Rome: TW come to mind. In BG 2 if you try to send your dudes from one end of an area to another they're sure to stop and go the other direction randomly ten times in a row until they pull their head out of their ass.

Rome's pathfinding is good on the battle maps, except for when they competely refuse to keep in fucking formation. But it goes to shit on the siege maps. I was holding my plaza in a city as the Casse and trying to get my dumbass chariot bodyguard unit to get the fuck out of the lines and out of danger, but they pretty much do the same thing as Minsc and run around like a chicken with their fucking head cut off.

Oh, and in Icewind Dale 2, if you try to get your dying party member away from some douchebag orc he'll keep chasing himaround the damn map and completely ignore the guy I just sent to ram an axe up his ass.

[aooga12]

basically glitches, (espically 'getting caught in the animation') when i throw a flare pass on madden 08 thus stepping outta bounds...

small txt (dead rising)
bad multiplayer
average graphics
bad voice acting (2 worlds)
overhype
difficult controls...

basically thats it.

[duke_nukem]

I hate in some games where you have to protect some one and they never do what you want them to do or go stand in the open and get shot up.

[The_Canadian]

Stealth sequences. It's a fucking pain in the ass when you're blasting people in the face and then a stealth mission appears out of nowhere. They should always give you the option of fighting if you've been spotted, like in one COD3 mission. Fucking dirty kraut taking a piss, instead of bashing him I blow his brains out. His buddies weren't so happy.

The people online, this is the biggest problem with online play. Not glitches, not overpowered weapons, not hackers, the players themselves are the problem. Everyone online is an asshole, period. Players are always bitching about something, they're always claiming to have slept with 20 women, your mother is their whore and so is your father, if it's necessary. You are a noob and they're gods greatest gift to online gaming. Not to mention grammar nazis who bitch about the slightest typos and prepubescent fucks who need a punch in the face.

Christian servers and all other pussy servers. No swearing, not even acronyms, praise god, thank jesus, be nice, etc. Why don't you just cut your balls right now if you're going to be a pussy? The sad thing is, out of all the servers in a game, 98% are pussy servers.

Mods and admins. If you kill them, you're a hacker. If you don't, you're a noob. Either way, you'll get banned.

When they try completely change gaming with brand new innovations (wii) and in the end, suck shit. Even worse, when people actually buy into and think it's a good idea.

Jesus what games do you play?

[navid]

- full screen installations (i want to do other stuff besides watch a % go up without having to alt tab, FUCK YOU ALT TAB)
- glitches/bugs (this is shit that must be fine tuned before release, fuck patches
- games that have like 500 patches (get it right bitches, or dont release it)
- slow loading during critical parts
- annoying side quests.

[Edgecrusher]

Jesus what games do you play?

I sometimes wonder the same about you as you bitch about every game not called Crysis.

[Well Me]

Laggy online is the worst =/

And also excessively short games. It's kind of stupid that the price is going up while the length of the game goes down, $60 bucks for an afternoon of campaign isn't worth it. Some people don't even pay that much for an afternoon of sex. Bioshock = good amount of campaign.

Cut scenes. Fer real, fuck, boring as tits.

Anti-game fanboys, it's like I can't even like a game without SOMEONE hating it. Pro-game fanboys are okay (albiet a little annoying) but if you hate a game, nobody gives a shit because they like it and that's their opinion.

That's about it.

EDIT: I sometimes wonder the same about you as you bitch about every game not called Crisis.

CrYsis FYI, I personally don't care but it made your statement ironic...

[Total Madman]

They're essential if you care about a game's storyline. I don't like them too long, but they give your thumbs a nice break after an hour of button bashing, and move the story along nicely.

2. No it's usually people talking
3. Don't care

You'd be surprised by the amount of people who could not give two shits less about the storyline. It's all about pew pew pew SMASH.

Drives me insane, all my buddies are like this. Sit down to play a sweet ass game with them, either I'm playing or they are to start and they just skip through all the shit. Asses

That's how my friend was with Mass Effect. He played it for 5 minutes, said it was boring, and shut it off.

[TehCream]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. AI.
If you're sneaking up behind an unsuspecting enemy for a knife kill you can pretty much guarantee that as soon as you get close enough for it they'll spin around and blast you to shit. I've patched it but still seem to get the same fucking problem. :banghead:

[h4z4rd]

I can't believe no one has mentioned escort missions yet. God I hate escort missions in games. They really piss me off. The problem with them is that the person you have to escort is not only handicapped in that they usually lack armor and a decent health bar, but they always seem to be mentally handicapped as well. I can't count how many times the dumbass I have to escort wanders away or heads towards oncoming enemies just to have you run after them like they are completely incapable of staying in a safe area away from enemies.

Other times if they are given a gun, the person will start taking on all the enemies like they are fucking Rambo or something which results in them dying quickly and you having to restart the mission. It's like they have the mentality of a child. There really is no need for escort missions in a game. Playing them feels like more like chore than anything.

[Victor Franko]

Teamkillers: The absolute scum of the earth IMO. There is nothing more infuriating than getting a bead on someone, then having some twat on your side chuck a grenade at you, shoot you, or hit you with a vehicle because they're either bored, or want to stir things up (Trolling).

Oh and morons who, after killing you or someone else, rub it in you face.

Someone did mention that... and i think major AI malfunctions are what piss me off most also, if its online game with just players then probably the immature kiddies screaming over the mic on many of the source games/mods who 'own' you when they kill you but your just a 'lucky noob' when you kill them, i think it should be illegal for anyone under the age of 16 to use the internet.

[k0n_]

I hate it when I spot the enemy first and I have a good shot, but then something happens when i aim right at him and I completely miss a whole clip on this guy and he ends up killing me.

Water levels. Fucking hate water levels. Probably started when I first played Mariod World on NES...couldn't stand the goddamn 2nd world. At least there wasn't a breath timer.

Then games that had "water" traps or levels where you were forced to find air in order to survive coupled with bad camera angled/controls made things worse (think the original "Tomb raider"). Only a handful of examples I can think of today....but those levels still give me nightmares.

That and timed events. Focusing the player on beating the clock takes away from details in game that you would notice otherwise.

I agree. It's just dumb when people complain about things and say only noobs use/do them when they were purposefully put in the game, and anyone can do them (ie: using a rocket launcher, legendary pokemon). Still, to be a hypocrite, it bugs me when people wait at spawn points for a kill, but at least I don't whine about it, just get annoyed and stay quiet.

[MexAmercn_Moose]

the only thing that has ever pissed me off in a game online are random grenades, take COD4 for example, i respawn and a nade gets thrown randomly at me from across the level ending my life

[Black Project]

Oh, I would also have to say hype. Basically with every game and system, they make it out to be the best ever, then there are a few hundred problems, which I don't find out until right after I buy it. My Wii has messed up when trying to load games repeatedly, and the motion sensing is not as good as I hoped. I'm almost scared to buy a 360 because of the RROD.

[jonnykill]

Two things that piss me off the most.

Playing COD MP and I'm on a good team, kicking ass and having fun and all of a sudden I'm forced onto the other team full of noobs and get my ass handed to me 20 times in a row.

BF2 and all it's fucked up patches. You ask me that game was the fucking bomb right out of the pakage. Then they catered to all the little fucking whiners who can't shoot bunny hoppers and nerfed so much cool stuff. 3 patches later it's not the same game I fucking bought in the first place. Fuck EA. Never buying shiot from them ever again.

[Face Plant]

Bosses

Bosses that will only persue you to a certain point and stop. I remember an old Wolfenstein game that had the Robotic Hitler boss chase you through the whole level relentlessly. He was the greatest boss in game history.

Boss confrontation where they lock the gate/door behind you so have you duke it out in a confined area, fuck that

[Delta05]

Nerds who play the game for about 21 hours a day and think they are great because they are so good in some game.

[SwyfT]

Basically any game where theres an incredibly difficult part that involves a ridiculous time limit.

This is what makes a game fun for me, as long as it is a side-quest or at the end of the game.

Like breaking that 0.00 limit on the chocobo race, or the Mile High Club on Cod4 on Veteran.

[IGneois]

[Supermintyfresh]

I love resident evil four and I play through it all the time. I love the game for it's action and not the unnessary puzzles that just slow you down. About halfway through the first disc, in the castle, you play as that annoying bitch and have to solve this ridiclous puzzle where you have to move these blocks around to form a symbol. I never take the time to learn the trick too it, so I just sit there mashing the pieces around til I get it right. Which can take like 15 minutes.

But everytime I get to that fucking part, I save, turn off the game and quit playing. If it weren't for that part, I could get through the game on a single run without quitting or dying once, but that part is sooo fucking annoying I just give up right there all the time.

Another thing that annoys me is when that little bitch sits there and screams "HAAAEELLP!". Sometimes I just get pissed and shoot her on purpose.

[SuperMegaWalrus]

Players who only come out when they have power weapons and only shoot from maximum cover otherwise. I guess it's better than being a gung-ho retard, but seriously, take a chance. They're not real bullets.

[Superior_to_you]

WoW- People bitch all the time about "premades". A premade is basically a group of players that get together beforehand, twink out the best they can, and enter the PvP battlegrounds.

They should be punished because they took the time to plan ahead for success? Should all twinks be forced to face other twinks than? Should they be made to wait for that one extra premade group to show up after a couple hours? Don't bitch about it, join a premade.

Escort missions where the person could fight but decides to just stand there like a dumb ass,Glitches like falling through maps or enemies killing you from the bottom of a map or a wall,13 yr olds who get their ass kicked for the majority of a ffa game and kill you once and consider them self demi-gods,Healers,Mages,Warlocks that tank,Warriors that don't tank,people that don't know enough about video games so they go the safe route when talking to gamers and say they like the original halo,stereotypical black people with the last name Jackson or Jones (desert storm)although true still hurtful to the black race,games where i feel like a little bitch instead of a hero(half-life,Bioshock)...thats all i can think of at the moment...

[BraineateR]

1 I hate that in rts games like red alert and such, I build up a massive battle force and then send them to the enemy base, but because my units are mentally challenged, they decide to split up in several directions and take a nice shortcut through an other base, so by the time my force reach the enemy half of them are dead and because they all walk in a slow line they get blasted apart. god that shit pisses me off.

2 Certain parts in games you have limited time to accomplish something, that shit freaks me out, I start to get hyper and crazy to get it done. and when it fails I really don't feel like trying again since it brings me no fun only frustration.

3 When people in games keep repeating shit. Any1 that has played Fable should know what I'm talking about.

Oh god, I remember that. Fucking had nightmares about getting the combat multiplier higher before the guildmaster comes and rapes me.

But the thing that pisses me off the most are the "nerd elitists" in multiplayer games. The ones who scream "PWNED" every time they get a normal kill. They act as if the point of the game ISN'T to kill the other team, and that people aren't getting kills the entire time...and when they get a kill, no matter how plain and boring of a kill it may be, it's absolute pure pwnage. If you point this out, it means you're upset that you're being pwned so hard by them, even if they've only killed you once and you've killed them several times.

being cliche or predictable

using the following formula to name your game

franchise name:subtitle

example, dark messiah:elements

Its only annoying because that formula is used in every other game and movie nowadays. And the worste part is some subtites are used very commonly. Heres some of the recycled subtitles you'll see: elements, generations, armagedon, evolved, reloaded, revolution, rise(of something), revenge(of something)

every other rts and fps game uses the naming formula blank of blank.

those annoy me.

being linear
no free roaming


Personally, I don't why free-roaming is such a big deal, sure its good, but alot of the time it turns out half-baked, or as boring as hell. Some of the best games EVAR were as linear as holy hell, such as Half-Life. I think a balance should be struck between free-roam and knowing what the hell you're supposed to be doing.

With that being said, I hate it when the idea of free roam is just a falt level with big mounds meant to be buildings and mission icons scatttered about.

I'm looking at YOU Destroy all Humans.

Oblivion too, that game could get very old very fast.

Still a great game for a while though.

I seriously hate clipping bugs in almost every game there is, whether it's your own character falling through a floor, an untargetable enemy IN the floor, some glitched guy making his OWN floor, clipping bugs just piss me off.

This happens a lot in Oblivion. I'll leap over a boulder or something then BAM I'm stuck behind another one and I"m stuck in the ground and oh shit there's an enemy nearby so I can't fast travel then I gotta load from the last time I saved cause the fucking enemy won't go a-fucking-way. ANyone else experience this?

edit: lol completely didn't even see your post about Oblivion above mine


Does anyone hate people who only kill others with the knife in COD4? I like to piss people off once and awhile by going around knifing the entire other team. It's pretty funny to be able to knife three different guys in succession. There was one time (in the map with the greenhouses and the barn) where I ran into a greenhouse or whatever it's suppose to be and got five different people in the same room with the knife. I felt quite accomplished that day.


Then I was picked off by a sniper. Fun.

Playing COD4 on non-hardcore makes it a terrible game.
