What do you hate the most about gaming?

[Uber Evil]

The entitlement of the entire video game community.

I'm looking at all of you

This. This sooooo hard. We are never satisfied and in annoys the piss out of me.

I think the last time I saw a thread like this, I said "Unpleasable Fanbase" or "The Fans". This answer is still viable.

This guys also speaks my mind. It always ends up with people pissed off when the developers tried to do what the fanbase wanted.

THERES NOT ENOUGH FUCKING TIME TO PLAY ALL THE GAMES!!@#!@#!@#$^

:'(

Most of my favorite games I used to play as a kid don't work on windows 7...

I don't understand this...I assumed technology was getting more advanced.

Same with trying to play PS2 games on my PS3 and such, doesn't work...Why?

 

[Eveonline100]

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.

Speaking as someone who made the switch from obsessive console-gamer to obsessive pc-gamer, I agree completely.

I love both systems, why does liking one make you inferior, while liking the other makes you superior?

Also, I hate that the new term for "dumbing down" is "consolize". Seriously people, consoles aren't causing this. It's the people in the community that complain that games are too long and complex. It's the developers who listen to these people because they are greedy bastards. Place the blame where it truly lies.

* applauses* This is way i feel about this whole PC>Console arguement here how is see of all the things that define people in the word the choice of gaming platform matters least

 

[Eveonline100]

I'm sick of dark games.

Give me some goddamn color up in this *****!

Skyrim is doing it, why can't you!?

well it's the overuse of brown and gray that gets me while where on the subject it seems asthough the typical game designer feels asthough there are only 2 colors in the word i would go as far to say that there may be outbreak of color blindness in the game industry.

Australian Game Prices. Seriously all you americans have it easy, considering AUD is higher

I completely agree with you.

I tried playing KOTOR on my 360 and it kept bugging on me with all kinds of problems. I thought the 360 was more advance then the first xbox so why is a Xbox game running so poorly on a Xbox 360 game

Anything Brown. Applies both to dirt and generic middle-eastern terrorist that is the most over used enemy in most modern FPSs.

One of my games, X-Wing alliance will not install in windows 7...But it will play if you install it on another OS, then transfer it, then download a special registry file.

Too much work, and I don't have another computer just lying around.

And when I wanna play something from my PS2 library on the PS3...I can't...The first models of PS3 did have backwards compatibility...So...Why the hell was it removed?

I'm just wondering why we can't just advance technology without removing the support for older technology?

Bad community

Trolls

and bad gameplay.

 

[soes757]

I hate how everyone tries to make the COD-killer, and fails. Homefront. Brink. Call of Juarez. Bulletstorm. STOP IT. WE HAVE ENOUGH.

No COD needs to die.
And Brink and Bulletstorm were both fun.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Fanboys and hypocrites, their feedback is ruining the industry.

This and elitism.

developers "streamlining games" i.e ruining what made them good.

This too, but that kinda goes along with the other thing.
Also the sacrifice of Single Player for online Multiplayer. I HATE online Multiplayer!

 

[Jake Martinez]

The dumbing down of games which is removing interesting and fun mechanics from RPG's and basically destroying the strategy genre. Hell, you could just say the symptom of that is everything is basically becoming a FPS (or wait for it... an over the shoulder camera game that plays just like a FPS).

 

[uzo]

I get the shits with games that demand online access to play. And anything that *demands* I download a 6GB patch just to play a game I just fucking bought.

DOW2 was a prime example. For some reason it made me download a goddamn 4 GB multiplayer patch for the original game, then 4 GB for the Chaos expansion, then (earlier this year) 4 GB for the Inquisitor expansion. I've had the game for a year now and I have NOT ONCE played online. Games need to come with the option at install of ticking a box to say 'No, I do not wish to play this online. Please exclude me from the compulsory 12 GB multiplayer patch that I must download before I can even watch the fucking INTRO MOVIE.'

Same goes for anything activated by Steam. It feels like a breach of contract - it'd be like going to the cinema, buying your ticket, and sitting down. After a few seconds of blank silence, you realise the movie hasn't started yet. You go to the counter, and they explain that in order to enjoy the movie you have to come back next week.

In fact, this pisses me off so much I will download cracked NOCD / No Steam copies of games I already own out of spite.

Gamers.

And the state of the industry, I'm sure I needn't go into the details there.
(Essentially all the things others are saying in this thread)
It is still very much possible to find that rare gem that restores hope, however.

Here's a Keygen:

You're welcome.

Though there's a moderate chance one of the codes it generates will be taken by someone else and you won't be able to access battlenet, only single player mode.

^Take that down, brush up on the rules

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Fans or "Hardcore n00b pwn3r5"

Why can't we all just be a big happy gaming family?

 

[Total LOLige]

The cost of games and game consoles. It used t cost £30 for games now it's £40 rising to £45. PC games are still £30, but I don't have a PC capable of playing games.

 

[Ninjat_126]

1. 1337 5n1p3r5, 13375p34k and anything else 1337.
2. Hardware upgrading to play PC games. Expensive, and I don't need to be able to see every hair on Generic Space Marine's head.
3. Generic Space Marines. Unique Space Marines are ok, GSMs are not.

 

[Inkidu]

People who whine about modern trends in gaming, or how the industry is ruined. Let's face it folks, this how things freaking work. Somethings get popular other wane, wait ten years it'll cycle around again.

I second this emotion. The community really is an extremely selfish bunch. (Not everyone, but there are a lot of douchebags.)
