Gaming Pet Peeves

[Denarius]

First of all the auto kick function some games (cough cough Halo) has annoys the living hell out of me.

Then you get the games where people litteraly do not shut up and go on and on about every little thing or plan or idea they have in the middle of a fight.

Lastly, this one amazingly enough is not a multiplayer or online peeve, no this is when game developers come up with either pointless boss fights that are purposely stretched out with the use of a cutscene, have a regenerating health bar by the end of it or are just simply a multi tiered boss battle with no actual difference in attack style and or difficulty per tier, its just plain laziness.

Multiplayer, mostly cos of people with microphones now a days. Ive yet to hear someone use it for a useful purpose online. Other that to yell at someone or say "noob". I love the mute button.

I only hate it when people's mic's overdrive... it makes me soooo mad!

stereotypical "gangstas"

Alls I have to say is Amen! That and lazy-talk! OMG Lazy-talk is the WORST!!!(IE. "aks" instead of ask)

Getting banned from a server for being too good.

Yeah, it happens. I was playing on server on Rainbow Six Vegas, enjoying the match, getting a few good killed then getting banned for 'Cheating'.

Just because someone is good at a game doesn't mean they're cheating. Funnily enough, I've never played the game since.

Anyone else had this issue?

camping in a spot where even tho you know where they are, theres no way to kill them

 

[Baby Eater]

when party leaders let their "friends" do whatever they want

 

[maddawg IAJI]

I hate the TF2 games were the host makes everyone play Snipers while he plays as an Engineer and sets up a turret and destroys everyone.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I dislike it when someone tells me to stop being a camping noob when I'm playing as a sniper. Isn't that what snipers are supposed to do? You're still free to come and backstab me.

Team stacking combined with rage quitting. Keep the teams even and everyone has fun guys.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Sweaty hands...they drive me absolutely up the wall

 

[slyeye]

Wall jumping, never could do it right.

 

[V8Drinker]

CoD 4. Getting killed by an impossible hail mary grenade over a building.

No f***ing way!

 

[Headless Zombie]

Lag. I can stand getting killed time and time again, but when I can't even get a glimpse of them I sigh, then lag out

 

[WillSimplyBe]

hmm... this is kind of specific... but in S4 league, and some other online shooting games, I hate when an opponent takes about 50,000 bullets then turns around and one-shots you, clean.

Also, sorry, though this might be considered derailing....

I gotta say, did it become cool to look down on people because of how they speak? Their accents? People do it all over the world, its no different in the spoken word.

However, if you're talking about people who *try* to acquire the accents... wannabe-"gangstas" or thugs, then I completely agree. I agree if you meant purely in written language as well. I should hope you can avoid purposefully misspelling words...

Just some things that I needed to say.

 

[PauL o_O]

Camera angles, and bad cut scenes. DEAD RISING.

 

[Mcface]

Unbalancing in multiplayer games.

 

[DeliciousTruffle]

Classes in WoW with stuns. I'm in a battleground hiding by the flag room and suddenly a rogue pops out of nowhere, stuns me repeatedly so I can't react even if I want to, and end up dead within three seconds. I don't know how I'm supposed to defend against that besides Ice Block and hope they get bored before it wears off.

 

[Deleric]

When games don't include split screen.

Really, I feel so lonely when my friend without a 360 can't play with me.

 

[Cama Zots]

when stupid crap takes itself way too seriously. I guess that goes for IRL too.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Camera angles, and bad cut scenes. DEAD RISING.

Those were terrible!

OT: All I got to say is "Press X not to die"
