I hate people who treat it like a job and cant have fun. I had this one guy in my wow guild who took pvp to seriously we couldn't even joke about it with him.
What do you hate the most about gaming?

In terms of everything, the fanbase. We are the most self entitled, arrogant assholes I've ever seen.
In terms of games, probably the implementation of all the distribution services. You need a bunch of different clients to run anything on the PC (Origin, steam, GFWL), any it is fucking stupid.

Kind of hesitant to say this, but the community of any multiplayer game, ever.
There probably isn't much that we can do about this; there's always gonna be the griefers, the arrogant guys who think they're the best, the guys who've never played before and are just trying to get the hang of the game, etc. Which makes multiplayer games so hard to play. You can get a good game going every once in a while, but you have to put up with the community just as often.

Same thing happens with me, i'll be playing with some of my friends and they'll say "haha im a higher level than you" to which i can always respond "yeah but im still better than you"Burntpopcarn said:
I completely agree with this, which is why it annoys me so much because im probably one of the only people online who still plays fairPonceyMcTosserFaic said:
Companies screwing us over because of piracy. Cough*DRM*cough
The 12-year-olds who's vocabulary is limited to sexual slurs.
Assholes in multiplayer who are screwing us over/spamming/trolling.
Half-Assed 8-hours or less singleplayer campaign.
Console controls display on the PC.
No manuals/instructions (Thank god for the Witcher's 2 guides)
Casual games. And that there are too many of them.

I believe I can finally comment within this whole group and have it be honest.
People who, because of the fact they beat me at a fight twice and are fighting someone who clearly has the tag "Beginner" on their Player ID should be called a "Scrub" and told not to fight online ever again. Twice.
MVC3 is a fun game, but the guy put me down for being a new player is kind of a dick move. Why couldn't that have been used for encouragement, instead of "Don't Play online again, Scrub." put on a message for me?
Give me a month and I'll be as good as anybody else, but C'mon.
So, if I had to sum it up in a sentence, I'd say, "People who put others down because they think they are better than you".

OH! and the people who put down your fav. game or console even though they have never heard of it or it's not what they play.RADIALTHRONE1 said:

People complaining about 'noobs' in any game. If you're getting pissed at people for trying to learn the game, then you probably take it more seriously than intended.
Any game in which Russia is the bad guy.
HD remakes.
Re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-releases.

So many things are wrong with gaming right now:
Franchises: The more crappy sequels you buy, the more you undermine the point of the original story and gameplay and the more you prevent innovation from new IPs.
Image: Games are viewed as children's toys, and this makes it easily for asshole politicians to fuck with the industry in order to gain popularity and support for their next election or whatever.
Story sacrifice for multiplayer: Video games have had some of the greatest narratives I've ever seen, but the growing "need" for online multiplayer is causing story to be shoved to the side.
EA: Do I even have to explain this?
The community: Almost all gamers act like either assholes or manchildren, which definitely doesn't help the image problem.

well it is kinda getting to me when people yell BROWN! as if it constitutes i win button in a discusion
Is that what you're doing now, or is that your answer?GiantRaven said:
For me it's DRM.
I mean, you buy the game, put the disc in, install it, and play it. It's a slight bother putting the disc in each time, but I can deal with that.
Then Assassin's Creed 2 comes along with its "always-on" DRM for which you need a constant internet connection so that you can play a SINGLE-PLAYER game. It's just bull... No wonder so many people pirate games, huh?
So yeah, being restricted from playing games you've paid too much for in the first place really gets me.
When the fun in that game soon turn into frustration like stuck in a level or can't pass through it. Also when the rare drop of that item/ weapon is like 0.000000001%.
Things I hate:
1)Whiny teen assholes that squeal into their mics and fail at swearing.
2)Lagging like hell when playing games on my less-than-adequate PC.
3)Getting addicted and gaining too much weight.
4)Developers that throw in really pointless and annoying grinds in games.
5)Fanboys

cover based combat, regen health, increasing lack of local multiplayer and focus on online multiplayer, more focus on multiplayer than campaign/story etc, the majority of people with a microphone, and the ridiculous number of FPS games out there.
so yeah um pick one of them
edit: dlc that stops you playing the full game until you buy it (like the map packs on halo) and dlc thats clearly already on the disk (burnout paradise for example)

I think I hate just about everything about videogames today. The way they're made, sold, the people who make them, play them, advertise them.
Playing games in the 90's things weren't very political unless you subscribed to Edge magazine or were part of the industry.
Now, I can't even buy a game second hand without being forced to feel guilty about it, let alone the problems I have the with games themselves with their pointless sandbox levels with nothing to do, hours of grinding and sub missions - having to WORK to get to the fun parts of games now.

Sudden difficulty spikes!
Example: Saint's Row 2. The final 2 missions.
2nd to last mission: get to a yacht, kill some cops and dudes, get on another boat and chase down and destroy an easy-to-blow up small boat.
last mission: chase down and destroy an armoured limo while under constant gangrape by armoured police tanks, then fly around a tower shooting out 4 small and hard-to-see spots on its sides while under fire from helicopters equipped with homing missiles, which you can only take 3 of and you only get one helicopter.
See, stuff like this is a dick move on behalf of developers and it's because of it that I'm currently pissed off and am never going to be able to complete Saint's Row 2 without cheating.
Fuck you Volition, and fuck your children, and their children! You have awakened a sleeping giant!
