The cmbat system in GTA4 on pc. The targetting reticle is a single white pixel! And to aim, you have to zoom in so far you cannot shoot anyone who is within 10m if they are moving.

This may upset a few but.......... constant farking encounters in JRPGs. I like them (JRPGs), well I really really want to like them but frickin allow me to cross the room, map, dungeon screen with out two dozen encounters.

And where the hell are all these critters coming from? 50 Cactur in one room, wow, how did I miss them?

Rant over.

PS: I know some are finally getting rid of them for alternate encounter fights but its beena long time coming.

In Lost Planet, your character needs to collect Thermal Energy from dead things to keep warm on the really cold planet that he is on. In Lost Planet 2, from the trailer, the really cold planet is experiencing global warming on a large scale, and is now temperate. However, your character still needs Thermal Energy even though it is no longer cold enough to get frostbite and die.

Create your own character in guitar hero world tour.

who is it exactly thats paying attention to whats going on in the background? better still why even have the stupid background video in the first place.

then there would be more space for better songs! right?

The 'sandbox gaming' trend every developer seems to be stuck on, it's turning into a stupid gimmick. Seriously, I like a good story, something with value and creativity to it. Too much freedom leads to boredom (Imagine if they made Half Life sandbox?), plus sandbox gaming prevents canon sequels, or for that matters, makes them preposterous (remember the fail that was Deus Ex 2, especially compared to the sheer awesome of the first game? The developers couldn't figure out how to start the game canon, so they just figured that ALL of the endings from the original game happened.)

Google Rapelay, then attempt to argue that this is not the worst idea to have ever been in a game.

Giving the zombies guns in Resident Evil 5. I don't know why you would do that. It was just put there so they could show off that they could rip off Gears of War by shoveling in a crappy cover mechanic just like every other third person action game.

I would much rather have more songs than silly characters. I don't care about my characters. In fact, I liked the Tool background. I would much rather have just the Tool background and no stupid "storyline" or crappy characters. I want 200 songs. Not create-a-skater.

SNK fighting games are really poor. Dirty 16 bit looking crap. And i had the misfortune of getting a promo of the 3D incarnation. Bad, just bad. Though they did inspire the look of Crimson Viper, which was kind of cool.

I bet that was a serious wtf moment when you found that out right. Or maybe the fact that Lost Planet was actually a terribly structured game in the first place.

Ya, I hate in games like Oblivion, when they want you to replay it, and have an hour long tutorial. I tend to not replay games because of the beginnings.
Agreed. Long, unskippable "tutorials" are the worst. The initial dungeon in Baldur's Gate 2 has kept me from replaying it more than a few times, because I get so sick of it. The academy in NWN and the initial village (forgot the name) in NWN2 are also good examples. And Oblivion, as mentioned, is a prime example.

Even Fallout 3, its not that long, but I don't want to play through the vault 4 times!

I have to agree.
