Biggest annoyance in a game

When a game lags to prevent me from either getting a kill or avoiding death. Those are always the worst, especially when I could have gotten a neat headshot otherwise.
I hate it when games particularly Shooter games do what i like to call the "where the hell did he come from" bit. It's where you fight a very hard firefight and lose lots of health then just when i think i've made to the save point another enemy pops up from out of nowhere and kills me. So much hair pulling and invisible wall punching ensues.
Reminds me so much of Rainbow Six Vegas terrorist hunt. It's so aggravating sometimes.SnootyEnglishman said:
Two particular things tend to irritate me to death in games::
1) Grid-based battles systems like those in Disgaea and Fire Emblem. Those just.. ANNOY me.
2) Games where if the main character dies, it's game over. (Persona, I'm staring right at you.) I can understand in Persona 3 that if the MC dies you lose because you cannot control any of the other characters in battle. However, in Persona 4 where you CAN opt to control them, you should be able to revitalize the dead MC and keep going.

Environmental hazards like poison air. You know, sometimes you come into a room and it appears to be filled with some noxious gas. You start to take damage over time and if you don't hurry up and get your ass out of the room you will die. It always pissed me off because it's the lazy way to design a challenge. The only difficulty comes from the game imposing what basically amounts to a dumb time limit. Sometimes they even have the gas obscure your vision. Then you end up dying because you couldn't see where you were going, and now you have to redo the whole section because apparently someone though this was good game design.
This is one of my biggest problems with Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Despite being a decent game, it has a considerable number of what I consider to be awful design choices. Such as filling a good chunk of the areas in the game with poison air. You were forced to stay inside stupid little safety bubbles, which was really annoying whenever you were in a particularly tough battle. Then they had the nerve to put in poisonous water in addition to the poisonous air. Because apparently they thought you needed to get killed even quicker for walking out of the safety of the light bubble.

Street Fighter 4 having that many unlockable characters.
It's not fun and most of the locked characters weren't even lopsided bosses.
