Thread: annoying things in games

Adventure games not having enough sensical options

I love Nitro+... bless their black little hearts.. but after having attempted to play Lamento a 2nd time and in 3 hours of clicking through story and exposition I read the first time, not encountering a single option to affect gameplay, I'm ready to toss it out the window.

The first time through, the story and lovely atmosphere are great... but when you've already done it all once before: it's torment to sit through 4 hours of still images and text explaining things you already know.

Hana Chirasu was comparably painful (though only requires about an hour of exposition to Lamento's epic tooth-pulling four).

Also Nitro+:

in Togainu no Chi, you are being chased by baddies... you're given three choices:

Go left
Go right
Stand your ground

At the next corner:

Go left
Go right
Stand your ground

Standing your ground invariably gets you killed. Choosing the wrong combination of lefts and rights gets you raped and killed. The only way to survive this portion of the game is save before your every move and hope to heck you've picked the right corner.

This is why most adventure games are impossible to complete without cheating

When the girls in the game have a really squeky voice

Things that annoy me in games..hmmm:

-Way too powerful bosses that are WAY out of your league at the point of encounter and you cant beat them til you're over-leveled for the following next few areas afterwards.

-Bosses that are given infinite use of skills, moves, items, etc regardless of the limits that are put onto the player character.

-LONG distances between save points in RPGs. Damn it, some people have a life!! We cant play save point to save point and we dont wanna leave our consoles on overnight while we try to get some sleep!!

-Awful voice overs/dubs!! Recent example: Carol of "Wild ARMs 5"!! WTF!!? (o[]O)

-Games with glitches that are never fixed.

-Games with crappy AI that you cant rely on the AI controlled characters for a damn thing.

-Repetitive gameplay...same thing over and OVER. (=^=)

....ooohh, so many more to be said.

Escort missions are hell for me, especially if your escort dies from only one or two shots.

Oh man, where to begin. Things I hate about video games...
*When you're stuck on the movie scene.
*When you can't see your character, NOT EVEN THEIR HAND!!! All you see is what they/you pick up.
*When another character is there to "help" you, but they really don't!
*When you can't save whenever you want!
*When You get "stuck" in a corner, by some furniture (etc....), or my favorite IN a wall!
*When you can't walk around an environment or room. When I played FMA I wanted to walk around the castle, but NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! What's with that!?! If they're gonna' take the time to create a detailed room or environment at least let us look around!
*When you have several tasks (doing tasks, locating people, or finding stuff) to complete in any given section, but it doesn't say it what order to do them in, then it locks you out after you've completed part of it, but won't let you back to complete everything.
*When you've just played for (many) hours, and the save is finally in sight, and the game freezes... WHY!?! And you have to start all over again!
*And the best of them all... When it tells you to do something and you are doing it, but it won't happen, and it keeps telling you to do whatever.
There are many more I'm sure we could all mention.

oh i hate it when your in the middle of a game and your parents say ok turn it off now or your grounded and theres no point were you can save your game

in FF omg i hate how you fight its annoying its like "oh you hit me i hit you".. - -" its so annoying!! you have to go to the bottom of the screen and pick magic attack and something else...
