games that u can't jump on something that looks like it can be jump able on.

- games that u can't use ur arms to pull up on ledges.

framerate issues on some games.

- games that are to easy to play, some games out there are just easy to get into.

- bad stories in a game. i hate games that don't have a good story or horrible one.

Bad save systems. I have a very low tolerance for checkpoints spaced half-an-hour apart. >_>

Yeah this ruined Dead Rising for me to. The game could've been soo much fun. But the bad saving system made playing it sort of a chore. waynehead895

The thing about Dead Rising is that you aren't forced to rescue a single person. You can literally start a game and spend the entire 72 game hours standing on the roof on the helipad and still beat the game. And the save system was in place so you couldn't exploit it and go back on a decision. It made you think twice about venturing into a place where you would most undoubtedly be killed or whether or not doing something was the right choice. I personally had no problems with the save system because dying was so difficult to actually do... most of the time I did it for the lulz.

Horrible stories/endings. I really enjoyed POP until I beat it. That ending made me want to beat the develoeprs with a stick.

Cheesy sports spin-offs...

However, I'd buy a God Of War baseball edition.

I don't mind difficult enemies, but Twitchy AI can be a game breaker for me (rainbow six vegas, COD4). I swear that some enemies fire their weapons without even looking in my direction sometimes, and still getting a critical hit.

Long loading times, long chepoints, escort missions, and time trials (in non-racing games).

Well I experienced bugs on Fallout and Baldur's Gate where I couldn't complete certain quests. That's annoying and unacceptable, especially for games of that quality. Lag on Starcraft, Warcraft III, and the Resident Evil 5 demo. The loading and the gun controls for Dead Rising were really annoying too. Basically it's something that draws you out of the game, when you're playing a game that's almost perfect (in your eyes).

Poor writing and voice acting. Back in the day it was excusable because of low budgets and storage issues, but there's simply no excuse for games with multi-million dollar budgets to have such abhorrent acting and writing. What's worse is the gaming community actually endorses it (looking at you, GTA4 and MGS4).

Geometry clipping and walls with no transition to ceiling and floor.

They don't really RUIN the game for me, but it's something I always seem to notice and get annoyed at.

I have to say I find it most annoying when a game glitches/freezes on me. Fallout 3 being a number one culprit. Also, I find it frustrating when Multi platform games get exclusive DLC... Fallout 3 again being a number one culprit. You might ask "But 0rin.. why, then, do you still play fallout 3?".. The only answer I can muster is... It's fun :P But really. Game-breaking glitches are so annoying, because they are amongst the things that should have been removed durring final testing etc. It's lame when a game gets rushed out the door so fast the devs have to virtually use the consumers as bug testers :/

Hype. It's like they hype a game up in reviews and previews but you actually play it for yourself, sometimes it wasn't as good as it was hyped up to be.

Loading screens. Instalations are fine, since I can go get food or something, but I hate 10+ second loading screens. I don't know why, it's just frustrating to sit there with a controller in hand with nothing to do.

For me is changing the environment too much like in Max Payne the game is awesome but the only thing that ruins it for me is the mad house levels.

I dislike how you have to start at a save point in Metroid Prime if you die with no other checkpoints available.

Sonic the Hedgehog 06 took all the flaws I hate and turned them into a game.

Framerate and length. I swear if a game is too short and I feel I got ripped off no matter how fun it was I get really really angry.Espada12
Yea fully agree. There's nothing worse than feeling you've been cheated out of $100.

Some things I hate in games is the camera angles and long loading screens.
