What irritates you the most while you are gaming?

[Sightless Wisdom]

Phones.I hate phones. There are two in my house, either one or two levels up from my basment where my consoles are set up. I'll be playing some sort of team game online when my phone rings and I'm forced to ignore the very annoying ringing sound or abandon my team likely getting me kicked or otherwise killed many times.

Umm it would have to be when i'm playing CoD4 with my headset on and people keep trying to ask me questions while i'm listening for footsteps! and not just any questions, totally pointless questions.. like "whats the weather like?" .."LOOK OUT THE WINDOW FFS!"

12 year olds who sound like they are 6 and use cus words like I use articles, because they think people will take them more seriously.

I made up a rule, If your mom had to buy the game because you are not old enough you can't talk.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Wow.. Ive just realised how lucky i am. Thanks everyone I dont get irritated when gaming, almost never. Maybe it's just that PC's are Awesome and rarely have any immature younguns playing. Or maybe its that im immature too and dont notice <<'

Have you ever played Dota?

 

[JugglerPanda]

When you die and have to repeat a section of the game. Although repeating the section isn't what irks me, it's usually the dialogue I have to hear over and over again, especially in a poorly written video game.

I'm in the teenage demographic with high squeaky voices. What I hate is when I'm playing the game perfectly well and then some prick will start bombing me with hate about my voice until I press mute.

Look people.. I know it's annoying to prejudice young people hating fucks. But when I'm playing the game fine stop ragging on me for it! We CAN'T FUCKING HELP IT!

Rant over I just get pissed when I see perfectly decent teenage gamers get ripped on because their balls have had the audacity to stay where they are.

Console -> PC game ports. They are plagued by two problems: Very unstable and prone to crashing, and their UIs are horrible and not optimized for the PC.

Mass Effect was an exception, as it did a fantastic job of changing the UI to match the platform, and everything felt intuitive. Fallout 3 did absolutely nothing to distinguish itself from the 360 version, and as a result feels very clunky and unpleasant to use (seriously, the 'You're SPECIAL' book in the tutorial literally says at the end 'Press A to continue' except you have to click on the A.)
Despite the quality of these titles, they are the most crash-prone games I've ever played. In 3 months I've had more crashes on these games than I have in 5 years of playing PC exclusive titles (or at least, PC games that were not ports from another platform)

I hate when i get interrupted just as I'm about to get immersed in a game (or playing online) and especially when people tell me what to do when I'm playing or comment negatively on the way I'm playing MY game

 

[SimuLord]

Online, there's cheaters and griefers and kids, oh my!

Offline, my big two are controller failure (I tend to wreck them pretty badly due to long and repetitive sports game sessions---the analog sticks on the Dual Shock 2 are flimsy as hell) and lack of an autosave---as a primarily PC gamer I take autosave for granted, so when console games don't do it and then there's a power outage or console failure, I won't play again for weeks.

Random battles.
"Hmm... I think I'll walk over there... Argh! GO AWAY!!!"

 

[Wacky Iraqui]

Nazi Zombies mode. I'm just not a fan of being paired up with a bunch of jerk-offs that wont revive cause they need their precious points.

 

[skcseth]

Plastic peripherals in the shape of instruments and the people who think they're cool...

 

[Cheesebob]

I don't understand why people have so much disdaind for squeaky voiced teens and verbal dickheads on the interwebz.

I relish playing against one so I can cut loose with some imgaginative insults and destroy them

 

[Olikunmissile]

Kids who think they're cool because they know and use vulgar words and generally act like pricks.

 

[wrecker77]

when people have their mike sensitivity on way to high so you can hear like, their washing machine. or if they try to be a dj and put on music that noone wants to hear and it sounds terrible on a mike.

 

[NoSlottedToaster]

my kids

I'm level 5 prestige and can count the games where team killing took place on three hands.

Just one hand in binary.

You can get to 1023 with just fingers and thumbs. It's quite handy. 1110000100 is 15 minutes, which is as long as you're supposed to stay in the sauna (where you can't take a watch).

What's most annoying in games is people!

It's not just your voice pitch... it's also the language...
