For me it has to be when you enter an area you can't leave at the end of a game. If your underpowered your screwed. Also the icing on the cake for this is when afterwards they make you do some stupid event that if you screw up, you must start from scratch. The latest game I've played to be an offender of this design flaw, Parasite Eve. Hard boss battle, win, run from creture, DON'T TURN RIGHT, DON'T TURN FRICKEN RIGHT, you'll thank me later. Thats mine, name yours.
Games that don't clearly state your destination/objective. Running around aimlessly in KHI, only to give up and go to Gamefaqs every half hour, annoyed the **** out of me.
Glitches that can screw you up like in Fallout 3. Don't get me wrong, I love the game so far, but I am less afraid of dying then I am of running into a horrible glitch.

I remember having one where I was in the market in Rivet City, I walked up to the weapons salesman and as soon as I talked to him everything turned black and the framerate dropped so bad, I thought I was screwed because I hadn't saved the game for ages, but then I remebered that it auto saves all the time. It was an annoying glitch though, I thought my game was glitched or my system had bricked.

Well that's not exactly a flaw if you're talking about rpgs or atleast wrpgs. Having freedom of destination is what those games are all about.
the absolutely annoy flaw that ruins games for me would be ,lag or frame rate drop , or not even a flaw but you know in goldeneye 00 agent , control i always thought that mission was rigged, so that youd always lose because over half the times ive played that mission natalya ends up dead ,
awful controls also gets my attention, most known in gta san andras on pc , mouse and key board dont work very well with this type of game to many control inputs, with the keys all spread out not in one place,
[QUOTE="VanHelsingBoA64"]Games that don't clearly state your destination/objective. Running around aimlessly in KHI, only to give up and go to Gamefaqs every half hour, annoyed the **** out of me. This, particularly right at the beginning of a game. Breath of Fire took ages to get going, the beginning essentially was "You are the chosen one...off you go". Chrono Trigger is doing it to me as well.
My biggest problems with games are crashes, and poor AI. If the AI is just horrible I have a hard time being immerssed and the same goes for a game that crashes frequently.

Yes i hate that flaw... another is a glitch that won't let you complete the game, such as that of Prince of Persia Warrior Within. I got to the end 3 times and hit the glitch each time.

im playin MGS4 right now and while I love the game to death and can tolerate the framerate dips
its just wierd, its like a PC, the frame rate goes up and down wildly like a PC game, if your in a certain place it will jump to 60 fps (and its awesome) and then in battles it goes down to even below 25 fps
and no it has not ruined the game for me, its just kinda annoying
Player punishing artificial "challenge" that strays into cheap territory. Long load times and many menus between death and a reload also annoy me, as well as poorly spaced checkpoints. Though that can really all fall under the player punishment umbrella. The focus should always be on keeping the game moving forward, with a dynamic difficulty level that adjusts and adapts to suit the skill level of the player. Playing the game is fun, staring at a loading screen, and going through several menus to get another loading screen and go back to a tough section for the twentieth time, not so much.
Not knowing exactly where your next objective is or where to go. I mean sure they tell you in the conversation right before you get sent off, but come on!
Also, lack of checkpoints or such things. If I am going to fight a big boss and there isn't a save point around, and then I die and have to go back to the last save, that really annoys the crap out of me.
Single player - Making a game seem long by adding in unnecessary things since people won't buy a game these days without multiplayer or it has to be a 500 hour campaign.
Multiplayer - Takes little to no skill, created for the casuals (mostly you kids) to sell. Games such as COD4, Halo 3 (the hitbox is huge for no reason. Your crosshairs don't even have to be near the person and you can still shoot/melee them. Not sure if it's on youtube but search cTs LANtage 4 and you'll see what i'm talking about) Gears of War 2, Resistance, etc.

If I were u I wouldn't play Infinite Undiscovery then. You have to fight 7 bosses in a row, no saves, and you cant go back. Also theres plenty enemies in between each boss. And if you die you start all over. As for me, its controls. When it comes to 2d fighting games with 6 button layouts like SF if I don't have an arcade stick I wont play it. Also console shooters have this problem for me
having just ONE button mapped wrong, like when you want B to jump but it doesn't jump and there is NOTHING you can do about it! I seriously can't STAND that.
Not of fan of games lacking a jump button..I dont know why, I just get annoyed that I cant even freaking jump. Also, random encounters, and turn based battle systems. Not a fan.
not being told where to go or what to do, so you end spending about an hour jus looking around.....Cloud_Insurance
DMC4 comes to mind.
I turned off DMC3 because the opening cinematic was the dumbest thing I've ever seen haha it was really over the top in games i dont like - poor camera - poor controls - looong checkpoints where i must play all over again if i die - repetitive missions
