STOP! You violated the law!

The only five words known to induce a rage stroke.

It's the right stick damnit! Get it right!

I hate short games. I feel like I've payed $15 bucks per hour of gameplay.

Escort missions where the people you are escorting have no method of self defense and walk into enemy fire and there is nothing you can do about it. I like how Red Faction Guerrilla fixed it, at least to me, because the hostages you have to rescue can actually take a beating, their health recharges, they can actually fight, and when you get in a vehicle, they actually get in too.

Also, timed events that make you rush. For example, Mile High Club on Veteran. You have a minute to get through, which i finally did, but I hate not being able to take my time.

Got to be fallout 3, anyone who has a rocket lancher or fatman. 1 hit kill and they shoot it no atter how close you are sometimes killing themselves in the process. Then after wandering for ages across the wasteland you have to start back at the last autosave because you forgot to save and you didnt realise the game was going to be such a dick. We all been there maybe not on Fallout but many games are like this.

Peppy, from star fox 64. Not just because he tells you to do a goddamn barrel roll every five seconds, but because he conveniently dies shortly after the beginning of every mission and doesn't come back.
Worst. Wingman. EVAR.
I don't know, I still hate Slippy.

1) When I'm playing a VS match on Left 4 Dead and some 10 year old hops in on my team (Survivors). He then proceeds to yell at us to let him die so he can be a Zombie. After telling him over and over that it doesn't work that way and he'll just be dead until the rest of us finish, he proceeds to yell profanity at the top of his lungs and scream "That IS how it works. I've had this game a lot longer than you!" before I've had enough and boot his whiny ass.

Okay, so that's only happened once. Though, it was so bad that I had to put it at number one.

2) When I make one tiny mistake (missing a kill in TF2 to save a control point, for example) and the entire team starts shouting, "BOOT HIM, BOOT HIM, BOOT HIM!". Especially when I'm on Hydro and there are still 3 control points left to go.

3) When playing VS on Left 4 Dead, and my team is beating the other so badly, that the other team decides to become griefers and sit in a closet trying to get us to rage-quit.

4) When a couple of immature idiots join my team on Left 4 Dead and insist on making penis jokes and reciting lines from the latest Family Guy instead of discussing strategy or even warning when they get pounced by a Hunter or grabbed by a Smoker.

5) Playing online with anyone besides the people on my friends list.

Escort missions. Which game has made escorting fun? If there is a game like that, then its a miracle.

I despised any time i had to escort anyone in dead rising, and that feeling only intensified since it was a huge part of the main story. I usually ended up killing them myself, too bad THAT wasn't worth an achievement.

You'd expect that it would be, xbox has some achivements for messing up missions... But if it's someone pissing you off xbox likes your suffering...

Just recently I have been playing Castlevania 3 on the NES and most of my deaths were due to being locked onto stairs and getting ganked by enemies or missing the stairs and falling to my death. So stairs in general now piss me off.

the fucking whiny 11 year olds with the squealing/squelchy voice who are playing a 17+ rated game that their parents bought them to shut them the hell up..so anyways..those same little shitstains whine and complain so much in multiplayer,so they go on the games official forum and ***** so much that every single weapon (EXCEPT THE SPAS12 AND THE FAMAS) are nerfed down to bb gun lethality..

"Please sir, can you spare a few coins? Just a few coins, that's all I'm asking... I'm poor and sick and hungry..."

I'm grinding my teeth just thinking about it.
I know! And when you punch them the guards get pissed... Same with the drunks that walk around hitting you...
I found it weird. After doing the first 3 or 4 missions I returned to the first city and unlocked the rich district. That was the first time I saw these guys. Those lepers and beggars aren't in the poor district but the rich one? That makes no sense!

For me the most annoying things were all conveniently bundled into GTA IV
Everything about GTA4 was a letdown... I pretend it didn't happen!
It's hard to pretend that one of the most highly rated games ever didn't take 45 hours of my time :-0 I can't remember a game that consistently infuriated me so much. The praise heaped on GTA IV marks a dark day for gaming and its pop critics. If even a handful of the issues that littered the streets of Liberty City were in any other title it wouldn't receive the same treatment.

"The world is built on bad ideas". O Rly?

Back on topic - Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl:
"Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?"

Meat Circus/ Tent City and The Big Top level on Psychonauts were the most stressful levels I've ever played in a game. And the last bunker run on COD4 was particularly annoying.

Nonsensical quasi-existential claptrap from characters i don't care about that are going to die at the end of the cutscene. Moreso if the soliloquy contains angst. Even moreso if I can't skip the damn thing.
