Things in games that make you RAGE!!!!

[Magnatek]

Escort missions!!!

Does playing the Flash game "RAGE!" count? If not, I get really ticked off at escort missions as well, especially a particular mission in Bioshock...

i hate bad/sketchy A.I.'s in games. like in Gears of War 2, when your injured, and desperately calling to your teammate (who is right next to you) to save you, but they would rather catch butterflies. (first post ^^)

 

[feather240]

I hate games that sacrifice the quality of game play mechanics for the developers "visions" or marketing. Like what EA did to everything Will Wright even had a dream about.




I don't care what your vision is, go die, and game company, hype is like an economic bubble. The bigger you get, the sooner you'll pop.

Timed missions, escort missions and timed escort missions.

 

[Hyrulian Hero]

Move whores in fighting games, Snipers in shooting games, escort missions and guild ninjas in WoW, real time battle systems in RPG's, cars that can't take damage in racing games, explosives in arena style multiplayer shooters, Castlevania games without bloody tears in the soundtrack somewhere, cell-shading graphics in zelda games, everything for the CDi or Sega CD, and people who say "old school" when referring to the N64...

that kinda covers it...

oh! and people who see my tattoo and ask if it's "that hedgehog... sonic, right?" It's Fucking Knuckles you rat bastards!

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Bad camera angles in action games!*coughnijagaidencough*

 

[Xero Scythe]

the HAWX and rts games auto move. how is one target any more 'next' than the target i freakin' WANT to hit, you know, the one that actually poses a threat to me?!?

 

[A random person]

Stiff/slow controls combined with tense situations. Metal Gear Solid, I'm looking at you.

 

[Julianking93]

I am enraged that I cannot kill children in video games. I mean they are the most annoying little buggers why cant I just take a shotgun to their heads?

I concur. Damn you Fallout 3 with the promise of unlimited freedom yet I can't blow off the nuts of Mayor McGreedy of Little Lamplight!!!!

 

[Mischiviktus]

Clunky controls, bad camera handling, worthless mechanics, useless characters, schizophrenic story lines, awful music or retarded players in multiplayer.

 

[Biosophilogical]

I rage at illogical circumstances (Who cares that he can shoot lightning and can decapitate someone by slamming their head from above with a giant sword) it is like in Fable when they don't let u have weapons in bowerstone despite the fact that NOONE COULD STOP YOU and yet you obey the rules. Did i forget to mention that I am PURE EVIL AND YET FOLLOW LAWS!!!!

 

[ayahtzeefan]

Weapon degradation. It was fine in Fallout 3, where I could easily repair, but in other games (Silent Hill Origins) it was almost game breaking.

yes this especially pissed me off in condemned 2: bloodshot, some weapons even seem physically impossible to break so quickly by beating someone with it. for example: a piece of perfectly straight non- rusted rebar broke after i hit 2 guys with it.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Dead Space's cheap instant death sections... The inability to kill every NPC in Fallout 3... Host advantage in Multiplayer games.

 

[Haunted Serenity]

1)allies in RTS games who constantly attempt to enter your base with their entire armies to "garison" it...i'm sure thats what your doing
2)people you say hack to a clean shot/kill. eg i like to sniper/vechile hunt in FPS games. i usaully only make 6 kills however those kills were on high pirority targets. eg eg Drivers of vechiles that have a flag carrier, vip, flag carriers, turret/heavy weapon gunners and teamleaders
3)fighting games where the person knocks you down and then repeatedly hits you. i let my opponents stand up if i knock them down because i like a chalenge. Oh and if you are on this site and a forum memeber. The person i recently fought against on xbox live in soul caliber 4. Thank you for letting me stand back up and get my bearings. i can't remeber your name but it was a real chalenge and hounor to fight you

Snipers.

I HATE snipers so much. I don't care that most FPS players like being snipers. Its the least skilled way to play any FPS. Try actually playing the game instead of hiding in a little hill keeping your mouse at the same spot where you know someones head will always be at regardless of how you enter.

well... it all depends, you may be talking about "campers" the way you are talking, i have seing people pick up snipers and get killing spree in the middle of the battle (this in halo of course)

what most enrages me in video games is perhaps Halo 3 match maker, it is supposed to "Balance" games, but because i am about to "lvl up" i always end up with people that are 5 or 6 grades above me, its like the game is saying "FUCK YOU, YOU WILL NOT LVL UP THAT EASILY", and i dont even whant to lvl up (i dont really care about the ranking system), i want to play with people in my same range, not some guys that spend almost all their time playing the game to the point i can not win.

 

[Photon987]

Enemies that block almost every-single-hit, automatically perform an inescapable counter, and all attacks made by them are unblockable. I'm looking at you, last level of Ninja Gaiden...

That's camping, not sniping. Admittedly, yes alot of snipers do camp, but the ones who dont (a la me), i'd say, were 10x more skilled than most other players who run around spraying and hoping to hit their target.

May I ask how it is the least skilled?

Hell, the most unskilled people I see are in CoD4, and all they do is run around with their P90's, blind fire spraying and praying.

I honestly believe it takers more skill to hit a pinpoint shot with 1 bullet, rather than unloading a clip into someone's chest =/

 

[Noremacv]

stupid AI, particularly relating to escort missions. the example i have in mind is of NPCs in Sacred 2 that want your help to get them safely somewhere, yet they are stupid enough to run away from enemies, but towards MORE of them, leaving you with more to fight, less time to save their sorry ass, and unnecessary aggravation
