What do you hate the most about gaming?

[Tomany2]

I just pulled out my Diablo II battle chest after... maybe 2 years of not playing it, loaded it up on my old p.c. cause I wanted to play it without reinstalling, and the game files were corrupt...

So I figured "No problem, I'll just reinstall it..."

So i start pulling out my CD's one by one... And realized the CD key for the expansion is missing...

Of course.... So i check Battle.net's Support... They want me to send 10 $ as well as the game manual all the way to the us... Just to get a new CD key? -sigh-

Seriously, After postage, and shipping insurance from Canada... it would be cheaper just to buy the expansion again.

Anyways, that's my rant. What do you hate about gaming?

P.S. Before I go buy another Expansion disk...

Does anyone have a spare D2 Expansion Key Lying Around?

Not putting enough thought into telling an interesting story.

Mostly I hate other people with headsets. That and the constant need to buy more hardware. I don't care at this point the graphics are as good as they need to be i just want to enjoy the game.

I agree 100% on that one.

Fanboys and hypocrites, their feedback is ruining the industry.

A-holes online who insult you untill the point that it hurts for no reason!
and the whole prestige aspect of COD, because i'm not a prestige and everyone i know belittles the living crap out of me for it.

Immersion-breaking. Mass Effect 2, as awesome as it is, suffers this a bit with driving sections and predictable boss fights. Fantastic game, though.

I hate the prices of a new controller. Seriously $60-70??? That could buy me 1 or 2 games. Also I hate motion controls.

The industry. Their treatment of the people who actually do all the work is absolutely abysmal. It'd make the next AAA game I play more enjoyable knowing that the people who produced it actually got a fair deal for their work.

 

[SixWingedAsura]

Other gamers.

No seriously. Call me anti-social or what have you, but 90% or even more of people I meet online are selfish, ignorant, racial-insult spewing, douchebags that only care about winning and being "t3h 1337zorz" or whatever it's called now. MLG pro? Whatever.

It's why I refuse to play online unless it's with friends or people in a close vicinity to where I am so I can smack them 'roundside the head for being a douchebag.

*That its becoming to big money wise but not expanding enough (and probably limiting it) creative wise.
*That I cant play almost any stranger online without being teabagged and called a noob when I lose or being called a cheat and/or getting bullshit death threats when I win also all the mom jokes and random swearing/slurs is irritating.
*The same stupid promises year after year this game is awesome we have this great system etc next year actually this game is awesome we messed up last time but this ones good and so on.
*piggybacking on anothers success so we end up with loads of usually inferior clones of a certain game or series.

Actually ill stop there because it mostly comes down to the same thing I hate the big business side of gaming or indeed the big business side of anything it irritates the hell out of me, probably why I will never be rich.

annoying fans (WAHHHAAT? that tiny little article said that charachter is going to have BROWN hair???? CANCEL PRE ORDER!!)

putting multiplayer where it is NOT needed

I didnt know it was bad...is it the kind of thing where they dont know if they will have a job after the game is done? because that would probably be the worst thing ever

 

[HerbertTheHamster]

The entitlement of the entire video game community.

I'm looking at all of you

This divide between PC and console gamers. FOOLS! Don?t turn this into an ?us vs. them?
issue!

PC gamers are just as guilty as console gamers of this, I feel.

 

[DyqstARD]

Your all pissed about the inside of it, im worried of the OUTSIDE.

Bodies becoming unfit, not spending much time with loved ones before that times runs out is what i worry about.

I would say PC gamers are the only problem, and I am saying this as both a console and PC gamer, while a PC gamer has gone on about the superiority of PC gaming in the middle of a game, a console gamer is apathetic about PC gaming.

The community. People get fanatical over consoles, and even obsess over characters to the point of making creepy, erotic fanfiction. They act like the otakus of Japan who stalk voice actresses and hang out on 2chan analyzing every single thing their favorite idol does.
