Sorry, but I had a good chuckle at your user picture.Fanitullen said:
OT: If we're not being realistic, then time constraints when developing.
The gaming world would be better without controversy and stupid news reports trying to cash in on a big story because we don't enjoy first amendment rights. Games are a form of art, and as such deserve the right to express views and ideals without attacks from the news. such as 6 days in fallujah, people complained about it because it was "To soon" however those same people go home and play modern warfare 2 or other rs games. it's because they wanted something to complain about.
Gaming Elitists who feel some games like so called mindless FPS's and generic brown shooters are inferior to them and thus anyone who plays such games are also inferior.
Can't everyone get along? We're all playing games we enjoy, we're all supporting the industry, we're all having fun. You shouldn't judge someone by the games they play so long as they are having fun, as surely that is the point?
Except squeaky voiced preteens and Zynga players, judge away.

Because clearly it doesn't suck some serious ass, you don't have to like it but that doesn't mean others won't like it either.jawakiller said:
Androgynous protagonists, seriously, you have a male that looks like a girl and a girl that sounds and acts like a guy.
Genocide of Russians and Germans while still acting like your doing the good thing, a lot of war games are guilty of this, adding in loads of Americans killing even more Russians and Germans then acting like they saved the world.
Voice communication. <- this has changed many games from being immersive to being brag fests and ego boosting or basically just too much goofing around/nonsensical chat by immature kids. VC = sore ears. That, and raiding in MMOS actually used to be fun and challenging before VC. Now you just gather up a bunch of lazy goofs and throw instructions at them. Watch half of them die, and the others obey and you win 100% of the time.
Nintendo Wii. It was a nice attempt at something new but it's just too different from playing with a real controller. Not fun imo.
Vibrating controllers. This function is in almost every game now, and it eats through battery power like... well you get the idea yeah? It's also annoying and throws off your precision when aiming or driving etc.
Modern day Graphics. Yes you heard me! I don't want pac-man graphics but, now-a-days too much money, time and effort is going into making the games pretty. Games don't need to look nice, they need to play nice first and foremost! Once they're fun to play, make the graphics as pretty as you want! I'm looking at you, video games with 3-9 hour campaigns! No excuse for that!
Clones. Yes clones! Games that try to almost exactly copy another game, hoping to win out on the cash flow, but fail! These are such a waste of money.
A recent example I've experienced:
TimeShift < Half-Life (You get a 'well-known' physicist in a super suit, and you shoot stuff in 1st person mode... in both games).
There are so many others, but I think I've contributed enough to the thread, that and my brain is starting to hurt :O

Camps you.PureAussieGamer said:
No seriously, if camping is OP then the game needs to be rebalanced, though defensive strategies tend to be slightly more powerful due to the nature of offense vs. defense. I personally enjoy adaptive defensive play and if you don't like it you can eat my lead/hadoken/f-smash/archers/whatever.
Too many cutscenes. I want to play the game, not watch it. Bayonetta, Battlefield Bad Company 2, etc.
Crates. And too many things scattered around the level that you feel pressure to collect to be powerful enough to finish the game.
Complicated menu and save systems. F5 quicksave, F9 quickload. That's all I need. It is so difficult to get out of Asscreed that I just press Alt-F4.
Games for Windows Live
Anything "Live"

I dunno, ever since Jack Thompson's shut up there's been a little hole in my heart. I think having a common hate figure to unite against can do wonders for a community.RatRace123 said:
Hell, it's a reoccuring theme of humanity in general.
For me it's QTEs, Exclusives, and glitches.
Glitches never used to bother me that much but those were the days before New Vegas.
Which reminds me, the gaming world would be better off with franchisaside. Burnout and GTA were two of my favorite franchises from last gen and two of my least favorite for this gen.
I don't understand why Burnout got rid of Crash Junctions and I don't understand why GTA got rid of all the cool in-game rewards.
