I agree, ice sucks. Reading this post reminded me of the pain I felt in the icy area in Ocarina of Time all those years back, pushing icy blocks around while sliding all over the place so you could platform to different rooms.Internet Kraken said:
Unskippable tutorials/opening scenes. Sometimes it's annoying as hell when you're creating a new character.
Diablo 2 anyone? "Oh no I'm being attacked by swarms of gnats! Go go Frozen Orb....woot! Killed them! ....what is this? A Green Breast Plate? Argh!"quiet_samurai said:
I wouldn't expect anything else from killing a Hell Bovine. Unless they got uber-steak that makes 'juvies look like fucking stamina potions.Kakarot4739 said:
Edit: OT- A.I. that makes you want to join the enemy's side.
Oh I should probably add one of my own gripes instead of commenting on others. How about anytime you want to find something cool and it has a 0.01% drop rate of some special creature you only see randomly or after fighting certain monsters for an hour or more? I understand it's supposed to be rare, but when you can waste literal months finding some things, your elation over finding said item changes from joy to depressed relief that you can continue on with your life. (I'm looking at you, Thief's Knife [FFXI] and Danjuro [FFXII]!)

I hate those missions too! Anything with a timer and I just start to rip my hair out.
Games that require you to use at least three hands to play properly (Half the games on the DS), the orange button on every guitar game made (not only does it make it next to impossible to use a normal controller, but it gives my inbred friend an unfair advantage), and and making your character decidedly unlikable, it makes me feel like I'm unwanted in their universe. A note on quick time events, Sid Meier's Pirates! did it right. You get it right, you can skip a few, minor fights, you mess up, oh well, the enemies aren't particuraly hard.
Characters who either call you up or mysteriously talk to you from a long way away and don't shut up. eg. "Your health is low. Do you have any potions? Or food?" or "HEY! COUSIN! Let's go bowling!" or "*bleepbleep* Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAAKE!" or "Do a barrel roll!"
The reason I play video games is to get away from people who constantly annoy me. Besides, I have phone phobia, so the last thing I want to hear is a ringing phone in my video games. ><

tottaly! I am an Avatar fan... (Go Aang!) and decided to try the game out Burning Earth... asside from cruddy graphics (the talking characters were tad fluky sometimes moving their mouths when they talked, sometimes just staring gormlessly)...Milkatron said:
Reach the part at the Bei-Fong estates, where you have to reach Taph... and you have to sneak through the gardens past partolling guards... they all patrol the one way there, and there are little side gardens you can duck into to be avioded being seen...
After beating my head against the desk after failing repeatedly, i asked myself, "He's the avatar... all powerful, and an air bender... WHY NOT FLY? or hell, have enough puff to hop over the hedges and just go through the little side gardens to the end, instead of the walkway full of guards?"
I found it annoying that your all powerful avatar neutered so he was unable to hop a simple fence or fly to her, silly and frustrating...
That's fair. I'd consider that game a bit of an anomaly, anyway. Everything was kinda...backwards... At least they gave you a really fun way to navigate in the water, which I think is the first big step to making a fun level. But let me say this: Water Temple.Amethyst Wind said:
aside from wolves though that is annoying, if you have to slay and retrieve 25 human hearts * cough hearts of zeal cough* and some humans don't have hearts.............grrrquiet_samurai said:
