This bugs me too. I mostly noticed it during the 'shocking' terrorism level in MW2, which would have had way more impact if you weren't killing the same 3 people over and over. And also if all the bodies stayed. It ruins any amount of credibility when you look around to see all the carnage, and the airport is completely clean and tidy, with nothing to indicate that it had just been full of bodies.archvile93 said:

Same as in any medium- Underuse of character development. If I'm basically piloting a robot, or (If I'm literally piloting a robot) the characters I'm interacting with are just cardboard standies, I CANNOT enjoy the game.
Oh, and of course escort missions. It's gotten to the point that if a game gives me a compulsory escort/defence mission, I just turn it off and never play it again. Which is a shame, because I thought HAWX was quite fun for the first minute or so it could resist giving you one.

People these days who cry about Betas being full of bugs....good god the opening first few hours of Reach Beta and the slam that got from "fans." That's the reason why people need to get some dirt rubbed in their eye.
Or SC2 Beta with people complaining about stat wipes...IT'S A FREAKING BETA!!!! SCORES DON'T MATTER AND NEITHER DOES YOUR PUNY LITTLE DOG-TITTED LIFE!!!
Now that's out of the way...the dingy effect games have these days, sure it's good with some games, like fallout 3, but if the main color wheel is brown, then why not just make the game retro and do it black and white? At least that's a good idea.

Yeah, for awhile I kept reloading saves to save my partners, but happened so often that I just let any partner die.Yureina said:
Lord, fucking this. On a strong second place finish: Useless fetch quests. You know, the kind were you're acknowledged as the savior of the world, you need something from some nobody, and that nobody insists that you put your quest to save the world on halt to get him a loaf of bread. What the hell, man.Julianking93 said:
NPC's who all look and sound the same...I'm looking at you Fable (1&2) and Oblivion, and I'm sure there are others, those are just the ones that immediately come to mind. It lessens the immersion quite a bit when you're surrounded on all sides by adoring clones who have the exact same voice.
Artificially increasing difficulty. One of the prime examples of this most recently was in the Bonfire of the Vanities DLC for Assassin's Creed 2. The game basically does this: "Remember all those neat tricks we taught you to pull of stealth assassinations? Yeah? Well screw all that. You can't do any of them here. Oh, and you can't be spotted, but let's fill up your notoriety so the guards are hyper alert."
It was infuriating and not fun at all. The first time in the entire game I actually chose to use the pistol, as it was the only effective way to deal with most of the assassinations. Find a group of random idiots walking even remotely where you need to be, swing the camera wildly until the horrible lock-on targeting hits the target, and then floor him with a pistol shot.
Again, not fun.

This, and dodgy scenery. By this I mean anything you can get your in game avatar stuck on without being anywhere near it and making yourself an incredibly large, bullet magnetised sitting duck. Lara Croft spends half the time getting her massive tits caught on bits of wall every time I play a Tomb Raider game. Although this could possibly either be because I'm genuinely crap at TR games, or because every game I've ever owned in the series has glitched out to the point it's impossible to carry on.Fayathon said:
