The Most Aggravating thing in games.

Mandi-fucking-tory cut-scenes. They ruin games. In Call of Juarez II, I remember one level which would be awesome fun if it where not for the game stopping the flow for characters to chatter inanely every 50 seconds. We don't need these interruptions! Let me play my fucking game. At least let me instantly skip the blabber when I want to. Games that don't offer that choice should burn in hell.

Bad camera control. There is nothing that makes me rage more. This usually happens in game where you don't control the camera yourself, and you suddenly get faceraped by something off the edge of the screen. Or even better, have to jump a gap or something and try to hit a tiny platform you can't see. *RAGE*

Cut-scenes that go on FOREVER. I like cut scenes, but they should be quick, most of the story-telling being done through the gameplay. Honestly, I'm a sucker for MGS, but I hate the way the story is delivered. Sitting for well over 20 minutes, listening to Snake and his buds talk over the codec is boring and does not a good game make.

Also, I hate games where you customize your avatar despite being constantly in FPP...it's like, what's the point?

Slows and blatant resource drains aren't really fun mechanics either, although they're not as bad as downright stuns. Personally, whenever I got stunned in a WOW BG (back when I played that grindy piece of shit), I went and made a sandwich since I knew I was going to die.

When you try to install an expansion, realise it's patching the game to an older version than what you currently have installed and consequently doesn't work, uninstall both the main game and expansion, reinstall both the main game and the expansion without patching anything in between because it won't work otherwise, then realise neither the expansion nor the main game work for some reason that probably doesn't make any sense to anyone. This makes me angry.
I realise the thread is more meant for in-game annoyances; I just needed to vent.
