[HEADING=2]YOU WERE KILLED BY A GRENADE. WATCH OUT FOR THE GRENADE ENDICATOR![/HEADING]

I want to punch to TV whenever that comes up.
That was the one thing I hated about COD 2. For some reason, the timers were screwed up. One time I was killed by a grenade that was on the ground for fifteen seconds.
Wait, really? That is too funny.
It wasn't at the time, but in retrospect, yes it is quite ribbing. I thought that it had already blown up ages ago in a firefight, so I decided to step from my hidey-hole. Bad move.

Almost as funny as the grenade with the quarter second fuse.

*ping ping ping*
~I gaze down~

"OH, SHI-"

boom.

Huh, that would be more annoying than a long fuse. It is worse when on the higher difficulty when you have to move into the open to get away from a grenade.
I was playing on Insane at the time, going for the achievements.

It wasn't quite as annoying as the Afrika Korps troops that could see thru smoke and my teammates that wouldn't do jack shit unless Faceless McCorporal made a Rambo-esque charge behind enemy lines. Needless to say my progress was slower than expected.

I never noticed that about the African Korp. Then again, I played it 3 times on my cousin's 360 before he moved.
It's more of an acquired taste after seven hours of continuous gameplay in the same damn Arabic village.

I hate any game that tells you how to walk or move after the game has started. Seriously? Really??

"Press start to begin" because saying "Press start to start" would have been too redundant.

Also in the Fight Night Round 3, on the main menu you can bring up a help menu, but all it shows you is what the buttons do in the menu, it's not really much help at all.

One time my friend saw me play Rockband and the next day I went over to his house and we sarted playing the same game and he, in all sincerity, told me "To play you have to hit the pads at the right time" and some serious advice. Thats where I thought up "Congradulations Captain you have now been promoted to Admiral Obvious" I laughed hard at my own joke.

I was playing Prince of Persia: Rival Swords (two thrones) the other day and there's this bit where you fight a monster.

After you start running towards the climbable part of the wall, the voice in your head will say:
"Pay attention to your surroundings, there must be a way to gain ground and bring yourself to his level."
Then near the top it says:
"Go for the eyes Prince, he cannot hit you if he cannot see you."

Anyway, you have to time three hits right, but thanks to a glitch I can't even tell when I'm supposed to be stabbing.
If you miss you fall off and then the games says:
You didn't time it right, try again.
I've died so many times that I think I'd have a better chance of winning if I scaled the wall and threw rocks at the boss. A plan that fails that consistently must be pretty flawed, which is why I think every fight should have at least two ways to win. If one consistently fails, you can switch strategies.

There's just so much about that scene that's annoying. You can't even skip the (admittedly fairly short) cutscene you get when you enter the arena.

i have before played a game where it says "press start", but start does nothing, you have to press A/X.

When in CoD5 the grenade indicator shows up, then if grenade explodes and kills you the game takes the initiative to point out that 'you were killed b a grenade, check the grenade indicator' - "Thankyou" I reply, "never would've guessed that one!"

Don't even get me started on when ever you get killed by a exploding car. Cars on fire may explode. NO SHIT!
Ever had the two combined? Grenade pops over, you avoid it and the car blows up.
That's the absolute worst. That or getting hit by a crapped grenade after you killed somebody, and then the game telling you to look out for the grenade indicator.

Pretty much most games with plot line elements you figured out half an hour ago.

"Oh my god, he's going to blow up the dam!"
"Really. Cause the entire level has been set in a dam and I figured he just wanted a cool place to put his super secret command post."

However, you never actually need to press the star button at all. Generally, any button will take you to the main menu, it's just trying to trick you into using the start button.

My favourite is when you move the Overlord Tank in C&C Generals and he says "Overlord moving".
