The Khajiits in Oblivion. I cannot understand it. I really like cats, often more than I like people, but I just cannot STAND Khajiits! I mean, aren't they a human-cat hybrid? They should be my favourite race! But I really don't like them, and I don't even know why! That's my rage-inducing contribution to this thread.
There's a bit in Mass Effect 1 where you're going to get Liara from the mines, and just before the entrance there's a long-ass unskippable cutscene, where you're introduced to those wall-crawler Geth. It just so happens that the subsequent ambush is FUCKING hard, resulting in DYING LOTS and returning to a save point I had created mere millimeters from the cutscene trigger LOTS. Was even worse on insanity.
Fucked up hitboxes that make it pretty much entirely impossible to tell if your body is going to make contact with something. If anyone has played the World's Hardest Games on ArmorGames, then you know that something is up with the hitboxes in that game.
That PS move message that popped up whenever I started the KZ3 beta annoyed the hell out of me, I'm going to have to go with that. I'M NOT BUYING A MOVE, GET OVER IT SONY!!!
I personally thought of Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. It's an awesome game, but there's one level where Kyle Katarn arbitrarily decides that he has to sneak past all of his enemies. Keep in mind these are the stormtroopers that you've been slaughtering like cattle and if one of them sees you you lose almost instantly.McMarbles said:
In Blops, it was the inability to turn on persistent radar in local multiplayer.
I raged so much I never played it again. Not only did it doom every 2-3 player match to being really fucking boring for 90% of the time, it also showed how utterly god damn lazy they were when doing the split screen part.
Gah.

Pointless achievements, CONGRATULATIONS YOU WATCHED THE CREDITS ALL THE WAY THROUGH 10g. To go a long with that, multiplayer achievements. At the very least you should have them separate from singleplayer so you can still 100% the SP portion of the game.
Also clipping, even the smallest little clipping can just annoy the hell out of me, it's probably irrational but I seriously can't stand it when in a game you have a sword on your back and it goes through you shoulder.
Also small little objects that block paths. Mostly Jrpgs do this. A tiny little pebble or bush can stop your hero in his tracks, also he can't climb over fences.

I honestly don't mind when a game doesn't care for its own storyline, but sometimes they just make a bad decision about it that actually works AGAINST my desire to play.
Super Meat Boy fit into this. I'm absolutely fine with a basic story about a guy saving his girlfriend. What I don't like is that the whole game, there is ZERO progression. Bandage girl is never distant from you, always at the end of every level, and in no boss fights except the end (of course) do you even get close to Dr. Fetus himself. I mean the cutscenes are funny and all, but it really does hit me to say that all my progress thus far has been negated by Fetus just flying off again.
It's about the equivalent of the "Sorry, but our princess is in another castle" thing EVERY level. (And just as a note that I don't solely hate indie games, this unfortunately happens in big games too)

This pisses me off just to talk about it.
I remember one instance where I was in a car, I had the engine off. An enemy car was a good ways off beyond the woods. I start the car keeping my lights off and they turn around and magically spot me.. >.<

And it's in the final game EVERY GODDAMN TIME I WANT TO LOAD IT UP. Fuck you Sony, I don't own Move, and even if I did ONE warning message on the first load uo would have been enough.TheSquashedOrange said:
I feel your pain my friend! I didnt think I would be able to beat it, and I had to resort to CHEATS of all things to beat the last 3 levels because it was this chase scene with a redicoulus amounts of missiles flying around and save point a is 1.3 trillion light years from save point B.... RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!
