Things that you are really getting sick of seeing in games?

[Druss the Legend]

Enemies knowing where you are before you do.

 

[LeonLethality]

Mute, faceless characters. It's really hard to care for the protagonist, if he doesn't say a single word throughout the game. It kills the immersion. It's not so unbelieveably difficult and expensive to hire a voice actor.

And by that you mean "A decent voice actor", I presume. Because a bad voice actor can be much worse then none at all.

they can sometimes also be better (resident evil)

zombie games , escort or follow missions , having to wipe out bad guys while your team stands around with their thumb in their bum , alien games, the big tit ,barely clothed female is annoying , ww2 games , having to collect objects to unlock useless things like art or pictures and big bosses that aren't equally equipped or strong as your character , and not being able to save anytime , and giving us shorter games and then charging for dlc that should be free , adding online play to a game that didn't need it like gta 4 , unskipable cutscenes , be able to turn of all game music ,

 

[Terramax]

Pointless fetch quests and assassinate/ blow up missions in sandbox games to pad out the lifespan. Far Cry 2, I really like you, but you're a perfect example.

 

[eatenbyagrue]

Sudden genre shifts. Mandatory racing events. Games that penalize you for taking risks by putting checkpoints between long and tedious sections.

World War II games that cover (in no particular order): Stalingrad, Operation Overlord and Operation Market Garden. For that matter, more games where you play as the other Allies (Free French, Polish, Canadian, Australian, etc.) or even the "bad guys" (I would love to do an SS campaign).

PRESS "X" TO NOT DIE. Especially during FMVs. Unskippable opening cinematics. Androgynous RPG characters. Fangirl bait.

 

[Asciotes]

WW2 shooters and giant spider bosses.

 

[Sh0ckFyre]

I'm sick and tired of sports games. Not exactly the genre itself, but it's how they charge full price for arbitrary, useless additions and a roster update.

 

[Baby Tea]

Probably been said, but: Scantily clad women and a showing of sexuality strictly for it's own sake.
I'm not 12 anymore. I don't want to see half-naked girls running around in wartime. It doesn't make sense. Ever.
Work more on storyline and good dialog, and less on the physics behind breasts.
I'm not interested, and I'm not the only one.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Gray, gritty graphics on every shooter. It may sound overdone to say it, but I'd like more of the more colorful FPS's, like the latest Battlefield games.

 

[Code_Red]

I can't stand quick time events.Also mute characters in an FPS.It makes no sense,especially when the other characters in the game are talking to your character but he never says anything in response.

 

[kamario]

the story to be set in new york.

 

[joe182]

Large breasted women, guys with huge guns, Mario, Emo RPG characters, Alien invasions,space marines,bald space marines,stupid dick support characters, mellow drama, cover systems, Guitar Hero. I think thats all, I would love some originality in games soon, because at this rate I will stop playing games and just start writing novels.

Wait, what? You don't like large breasts?

EXACTLY what I was thinking. Since when were big boobs a bad trend?!

 

[Vrex360]

Space marines.

They've been Earth's primary means of intergalactic warfare since the first Doom, with Halo only exacerbating the cliche by giving the space marines powered armor.

This.

Why not have a weakling, unarmoured person in space? That would brighten things up considerably.

Dead Space... I mean i know the guy's armoured but he is no marine.

 

[Clarkarius]

Unpratical outfits for said scenario. This is'nt a rant about characters being scantaly clad but more about them wearing stupid outfits in general. For example armour that only protects less then half of your body when the game is based around mellee combat, characters waltzing around in power armour when the object of a mission is stealth and assassains wearing white clothing thus making them stick out like a sore thumb at any location thus deafeating the idea of being unnoticed.

So essentially style over practicality in games.

 

[BolognaBaloney]

QTE's. That is all.

 

[Biosophilogical]

The biggest pet peeve i have regarding to things in games is UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENES!!! GAR!!!
