Things that wreck games...

[Harlemura]

When they make it too difficult.
I don't mind the odd challenge, but if there's somewhere you're gonna be stuck for over an hour, it's just not worth playing.
Oh, and areas where you can't pause. They're pretty rare, but if there is one I'm assured an itchy nose that I won't be able to scratch.

Any Crytek Vehicle. Player piloted or AI piloted; I don't care, they can't pull it off.

 

[Psypherus]

The "Love Interest" always ruins it for me. EVERY FUCKING GAME NOWADAYS HAS A HALF NAKED CHICK WHO DOES NOTHING BUT GET IN YOUR WAY!!!

 

[EnglishMuffin]

If bethesda makes it.

Controversy to boost sales.

Ex: Manhunt.

Also known as the Rockstar Syndrome

RPGs were they require you to be killed by certain bosses to progress the story.

OOOOOOHH, that's a good one... or bad... one?

Other people who constantly swear while you play. You cant help but swear back.

Some games have fantastically bad characters in them. Some characters aren't dynamic, which makes it hard for me to get attached to them (even the lovable jackass gets tired if jackassery is ALL he ever does), while other characters start off actually remotely human and then turn into the idealistic turbo-hero (Luke from Tales of the Abyss. I hated him early on, when he was a whiny prick, but something about him going all "nice guy" didn't really set well with me, especially since I practically heard the sound of his personality changing gears like a jalopy with a bad transmission).

Retarded people when playing multiplayer.
I'm not talking about the newbie who just has to learn the game.
I'm talking about the loudmouth n00b who refuses to take advice, and blame all his mistakes on you beeing über gay.
The guy who gets angry when he fails and get pwned for the 35713^10 time and decides that the best way to vent his anger is to purposely feed the opposing team (DotA) or who figures that when you can't hit the enemies you might as well shoot your friends (most shooters).
The guy who just can't cope with the fact that he's not the über-schnitzel of the match/server, and can't take that everyone is not bowing in front of him, begging for a chance to suck his genitals.

Sometimes i wish i could make peoples monitors blow up in their face.

I know how you feel. I kill someone and I am called gay or stupid for it. I hate griefers, they are idiots.

Racing missions. I'm okay with optional racing missions (like Saints Row 2) but when the game decides to put a racing mission that you HAVE to complete to go on with the story (Grand Theft Auto), that takes a big shit on my personal game rating. If i wanted a racing game I would have bought Burnout instead!

The people who make em'!

 

[coakroach]

Water. I want a game with no more freaking water.

 

[The Antagonist]

Lets see... for Mass Effect it Kaiden Alenko...i swear to god, his voice gets on my nerves, and the fact that he never says anything usefull doesn't help anything...

Points of no return that give NO WARNING WHATSOEVER of thier existance. Super Metroid is a prime example, so is Fallout 3.
Examples of games that DO give warning, and are therefore bearable - Psychonauts (Autosaves into a special save slot at the PonR), Metroid Prime 3 ("Samus - *yadda yadda yadda* once you join the attack team, there is no turning back - please make sure you are prepared), or The World Ends With You ("You get the strangest feeling that this is your last chance to turn back...", accomponied with the yes or no option to enter, and it also restricts saving in there the first time round so you can't break your game)

Game developers, take note of those last three. All of these prove that Points of No Return CAN work when done right.

Lair the motion senor. Worst idea ever with no option to change to a traditional control scheme. I got really mad and that game was ruined for me.

 

[Vauban]

No checkpoints whatsoever, I'm looking at you Left 4 Dead. Dying 2 feet from the safe room only to start over at the beginning of the chapter.

And shit racing games like Mario Kart for the Wii because the items you get are directly related to your position in the race.

 

[Ultress]

Bad checkpoint systems,having victory stolen at the last second by a cheap-move, miss able side quests, and enemies that have a move that keeps you constantly knocked down.

I guess that by some weird logic, if your bullets/sword/arrow/fireball represents your penis putting it through some other guy could quallify as gay... guess those people are just big fans of freudian intepretations of our online actions
