Any game which involves protecting a dumb twat/Brittle as fuck machine with less than 100 health. OR having to chase a guy through Hell and back just to get your ass kicked repeatedly by him. *Ahem* ULTIMATE SPIDERMAN!

So, yes, what the fuck were you thinking?

Japaneese games where they portray underage girls as sexobject. Hironobu Sakaguchi and others who makes such absurd games; I think it's about time you kept your obvious pedophile writers in check.

I still am not quite sure who thought Dead Space needed an on rails meteor shooting sequence in which the number of meteors is ridiculously huge and they move very fast and each time you shoot one it explodes into like three smaller ones... and you don't even start with full health.
I really hope that whoever it was had masking tape put over his or her mouth to prevent further suggestions in Dead Space 2.

Modern Warfare 2: Jumping over a cliff on a snowmobile
Modern Warfare 2: RUSSIA INVADES THE US!!!!one!1
Modern Warfare 2: The third, fourth, and fifth PC deaths.

Yeah, you can tell that I wasn't a fan of the story line. Which is a shame, because I thought it was a pretty decent shooter.

Oh jeez, I have a million of these.

One that really gets me is when they make the game easier by making it more shallow.

Making the Wii-motes the only controller you can use to select options, and only Wii-mote only for some games.

Stupid and pointless conversations. I don't know why they waste their time with rubbish when they could just get straight to the point, it's the reason I can't play through most rpgs.

Sonic in a fucking vehicle!

Michael Bay is still aloud to make movies.

Wind Waker, there I said it. I'm not actually saying it's a bad game but I hate it how they just continued on to a new Link. I liked what they did with Majora's Mask, it is the next episode after Ocarina of Time with some big interesting changes.

Missions in fucking MP3! I loved Metroid because it is the game where you look around and discover, but now with new characters and other rubbish it's almost just like every other generic FPS.

Boost guardian in Metriod Prime 2. I really don't think anyone play tested that boss, as it's broken in so many ways. That, or it was supposed to be mind numbingly difficult.
It's funny you brought that one up, that was the only boss I found really challenging in MP2, it's also one of my favourites.

All new classic platforming Mario games (New Super Mario Bros on the DS and Wii). These games can't even compare to the classic Mario games, and Nintendo should know that. Not even memorable at all..

I'll probably take heat for this next one, but Bethesda making Fallout 3 into something that is distinctly NOT Fallout. It's like a terrible version of Oblivion, which was already enough of a bad game with it's neverending forest expanse. Fallout 3 was just Oblivion that has trees replaced with rubble and swords replaced with guns.

And speaking of Oblivion, Bethesda must have been on drugs when they made the entire game voice acted by, what, only a handful of people? Morrowind's immersion was far superior since you could imagine the voices of characters rather than having terrible voice acting shoved down your throat such as..

"HAHAHAHA!!!!" - A line delivered by a character with a completely neutral and emotionless expression.

The unskippable Valkryie cutscene EVERY time you died in Too Human. It was one of many problems with that game, but it was playable and fun (at times), and would have been much better without that.

Not giving the AT weapons and grenade launchers correct arming distances in videogames...

The most commonly used 40mm grenades has an arming distance of 14-28 meters instead of the less common 2-3 meters of the M381 and M441 grenades. The reason the 2-3 meter arming distance is not used is because its so unsafe! And having 40mm's in videogames with 14 meter arming distance (at least) would make players use the GL the way it was ment, and not as a shotgun of sorts... (well, not to enter a building, you have that assault rifle on top of your GL for a reason, not just to look good!)

The AT4 has an arming distance of 10 meters. Meaning shooting the weapon in the ground right infront of you shouldn't kill you OR the person trying to knife/shotgun you! It's so stupid!

Now, the ERYX missile (which is the one used in BF2) has an arming distance of 50 meters... 50 meters! It's fucking retarded... Why can't games at least take a few simple steps to cut down on the use of AT weapons and GLs in CQB... It doesn't take much.

Now, the standard 5.56 round used in rifles such as the M4 and M16 easily penetrate kevlar... Wait, I was talking about arming distances... Well, enough then. I think you get what I mean.
Let's be honest though, most anti armor engagements in BF2 (vanilla) are well under 50m (well there are the non-city maps where armor engagements are over 50m, but I have yet to find a server who actually uses those maps). So using realistic arming distances would make the anti-tank class a bit useless..... Actually with all the infantry only servers, anti-tank already IS useless.

It would be great if the arming distance was more realistic, that would also mean you could shoot people in the head with unarmed grenades and rockets. Am I the only one who can see how amusing that could be?
I died due to a grenade to the face once, hit me on the head when I had like one health left, two seconds later while I'm looking up at the sky and calling for a medic it explodes. I was surprised the engine of BF2 could actually pull stuff like that off.

Who the fuck thought Games For Windows Live was a good idea?
I spent 20 fucking minutes waiting for GFWL to update INGAME. It wouldn't let me play the game, oh god no, and it sure wouldn't let me close the game either. What the hell kind of stupid idea is that?

That and Ubisoft's DRM software. Which is why I'm thinking of purchasing assassin's Creed 2 from Steam, then pirating it from somewhere else.

THIS.

You are truly wise beyond your years for knowing this fundamental truth.

Making camping the most effective strategy in Modern Warfare 2.

Making a matchmaking system that spends more time displaying error messages than actually finding a game.

Making a matchmaking system which doesn't let you select the gametype with a keyboard.
Seriously, this is one of the most annoying parts of the entire game for me. You can navigate the entire menu system using just a keyboard, except the game type selection menu. You have to click it.

Gotta agree, DRM is the dumbest idea in history. If I get AC2 it'll be on the PS3 (no DRM there)

The fact that they used metal music as action music in Prince of Persia WW. Probably the only time in my life I havent liked metal. Also, making him an emo bastard was a bit of a swingandamiss.

Massive corporations controlling the game's industry. And requiring you to have permanent internet connection to play C&C 4 singleplayer.

NOT releasing FF8 and FF9's card games are full fledged games. I'd have bought them both in a heartbeat.
I agree with this. Most definatly for FF8. Such a great card game gone to waste.

Every RPG should have a bottomless inventory and more sorting options than MS Excel. Stop intentionally trying to make your game less fun.
I've always seen it as a way to try make the game more traditionally realistic. Copying from DnD and you shouldn't be allowed carry around 800 suits of armour with you. I've always seen the space they give you as some kind of cart that you leave at the start of the zone. Though it can be wierd when you have about 8 pages of inventory.

Im pretty sure we've all felt this at one point or another, that point where we put the controller down and just say to ourselves "Who the hell thought that was a good idea!?"
My most recent one would have to be Tekken 6, I love that game, the fighting is some of the best I have ever seen, but there is one problem, that problem is called Azazel.

Who the fuck thought Azazel was a good idea?! Who looked at the production of this game and said to themselves
"Lets see this guy can deal crazy amounts of damage, doesn't take as much damage, is faster than he should be, and can ignore most of the players attacks. People will love him!"

Anyway my ranting aside escapists, please share your stories of frustration with idiotic game ideas
He's worse than most of the Tekken Bosses - but easier than Jinpachi! Remember that move, which was almost instantaneous, where lightning comes out of his hand and you're stunned for about 5 seconds? It even brought you to the floor if you were Devil Jin and in the middle of a flying move. Don't even get me started on his minor teleport move and ranged unblockable (which could be combined). Oh yeah - and if he wasn't quite happy with his first fireball, he could instantly do it again. Grrr!

The card games were amazing - same goes for Blitzball. They should release a collection of mini-games on one disc - there are so many FF fans that it would definitely sell =)

I always thourhgt they should've released Blitzball as a table top game, similar to Games Workshops Blood Bowl.
