"Press the JUMP button to jump!"
This, or "use the Action button to pick things up"
and then "use the action button to talk"
and THEN "use the action button to use lever"
It gets more annoying when you find out there's no option to turn off the freaking hints.
I'm looking at you, Spore.

"Don't turn off the game while it's saving"

WHY would I do that? :/ Console games being the prime example of this. Which is rather weird because on the PC you NEVER saw this. Which means people actually DID shut the system off before it finished saving.

Any game that tries to tell me what certain buttons do later on, because the very first thing you do in a game is to check what they do.

Metal Gear Solid also have the annoying calling when you are told what to do in the start.

You'd think that people who pick up the game would understand to press a button to crouch or to climb a ladder.

COD4 also have those, YES I KNOW, that grenade indicator means there is a grenade there. I know, but it doesn't matter much when some maps have a grenade rain going on.


Then we have those moments. "Geee I wonder what I'm supposed to do, duh" then they go straight out and tell you what to do. >.>

=p

Congratulations
you managed to kill that boss you see
the Grinning Colossus
you're the hero we all wish we could be
You made it through the tunnel
then you grabbed that fire on the wall
you jumped up above him
then you burned the rope and saved us all
you burned the rope and saved us all
you burned the rope and saved us

Chorus
------
Now you're a hero
you managed to beat the whole damn game
we're happy you made it
but how are you gonna spend the rest of this day
maybe watch a video
maybe press refresh and start again

Bridge
------
Yes it's over now
we didn't want to make a longer game
this is it I swear it's true
oh ohh
god i had to play that game twice just for the song

my favorite is in condemned 2, not because it's obvious, just because it's hilarious. It's the part with the bear, and on suddenly a little icon pops up and says "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!". You know your screwed when the game itself is telling you to run away.

Or something like that.
I hated that in COD 2 when the grenade timers were bipolar. I have no idea why, or how, but the timers could range between one half and thirty seconds from the time the enemy threw them at my feet. Or at least that's how most of my experiences with senor grenada went.

"Kill everyone." -Eat Lead!

"Press RT to fire."-Call of Duty 4
That's not exactly fair for the eat lead one because it was meant to be funny.

Anyway one of my most hated tips in all of history...

"You were killed by a grenade. Watch out for the grenade danger icon."

I think we all know where that one comes from... that's probably THE most infamous tip in history.
