Ever get really annoyed by a feature in a game?

For the second time in two days I find my self agreeing with you. The elevators are OK I don't mind them at all, they are way better than the stupid loading screens of ME2. Mining is annoying, at least let us flog some surplus so we can have a much needed cash injection (and why am I paying for everything, is Cerberus skint now?)Cody211282 said:
I find the mission statements at the end of each mission in ME2 very irritating, really ruins immersion for me.
Mmm... My brain refuses to remember anything more annoying that loading screnes, crashings, & difficult bosses.
Malaria in Far Cry 2. Every now and then having to take a fucking pill and every now and then having to cart your way across a map to get like, three more pills. Fuck, you think delivering crucial documents, killing mercenaries to save a group of people's lives is worth more than THREE FUCKING PILLS!
Well, your squad sometimes talks, revealing quite interesting little feelings, relationships and backstory. Also, the news updates, which are interesting and even on one occasion actually give you an assignment.Ieyland said:
OT, I'd say unskippable cutscenes. I think every game should do it either one of these two ways:
1. The cutscene is unskippable the first time, then can be skipped all times after that.
2. The cutscene can only be skipped by some means that is deliberate, e.g. pause, skip cutscene, "Are you sure?", skip.
Just about every unique Feature of Metal Gear Solid 3 was both clever and very, very annoying.
Well, the whole eating thing wasn't that bad, especially with the weird effects some of the food gave, but changing your cameo every 5 minutes got fairly tedious after about half of the game (luckily, you don't need to change much in the last third of the game).
And then there is the whole healing thing. *sigh*
Once again something fairly interesting in concept, but very annoying in execution, especially in Bossfights (for example, when fighting The End, because it was absolutely neccessary to pull out the tranquilzer darts ASAP, you had to go into the "heal menu" constantly, prolonging an already very long bossfight)

Not to mention that, as far as i remember, you couldn't just stock up on those pills, but had to "wait" till you only had one pill left to unlock missions to get more of them...Superior Mind said:
Only so I can enjoy listening to someone else nitpick FFVIII for once.Kimarous said:
Pretty much everything about that game was just...urgh. Triple Triad was maybe the only redeeming feature to me, but even then that got screwed up because of all the crazy rules they implimented. Like Random. Fuck Random. That rule encouraged you to get rid of all your lower level weaker cards meaning that you'd never have a complete collection if you wanted to continue winning.
As others have said: Any game with the inability to pause and skip cutscenes. Square-Enix seem to be pretty good at this these days, thankfully. I can only hope other companies who haven't taken note do so quickly.
I know it's popular, and I know I may be in the minority, but I'm already getting tired of third-person, over-the-shoulder games where the hero's bulk covers up a third of the screen as you're trying to line up a shot. (I'm cutting off my own perepheral vison? Seriously?)
Yea I would have much rather had the counsel or illusive man debrief me like in the first game, though I did like how you upgraded weapons.Jenova65 said:
Oh, there are many. For example Persona 3 with certain quests that require you to repeatedly press X every 20 seconds for about ten minutes (I'm sure buying 50 soda cans from vending machines sounded like a great idea for a quest at the time). Or Borderlands and those ridiculously low level-quests, of which you get constantly reminded of. Mount and Blade and the bloody Khergit Khanate lancers. Faster than wind and more destructive than a battalion of tanks, and always after no-one but you. EVE Online with about 5 different quests you do over and over again. Oh, there are many.
Also, hiya all.
Oh, but if you're going for an authentic elevator experience, you really have to stand still and be all awkward. Maybe a peek at your clock every 10 seconds is acceptable, but not much else. It's just Bioware and their urge to be realistic in social behaviour.PanicxBoss said:

It'd been the shortest game ever!Ieyland said:
The handling in Need for Speed: Prostreet, all the cars handle like boats on land.
I also hate unskippable cutscenes in games, I only see them the first time, dammit!
To be honest, I liked them, definitely more than loading screens. I've never seen a loading screen with entertaining banter. (Metro 2033 had quotes from the main character, which I did quite like)shini said:
And I liked the Mako as well. It was quite a personable little marshmallow wheeled thing.
