I don't like it when games won't let you jump

I don't like it the regenerating health aspect that so many games use now. It makes them too easy IMO

I don't like day one DLC

I don't like when some games have online match making issues when they launch, even though the devs had plenty oftime to fix it, but didn't.(looking at you Twisted Metal and Assassin's Creed)

I don't like short 3 hour campaings. Seriously, last gen games were SO much longer than games today, they were also harder.

I don't like it when Devs only talk about graphics and power when making thier games but don't talk about Gameplay.

This one applies to the community, not games themselves, but I don't like it when a game get's scores an 8 or an 8.5 or anything below a 9.5 and everyone freaks out about it. 8 is NOT a bad score. It means GREAT, it means MUST BUY

[QUOTE="heretrix"]

Shortsighted greedy ass publishers and the endless scapegoating of the people who are putting food on their goddamn tables.

I put EA and Ubi at the top of this list.

Ringx55

I'm leaning less of EA and more of Activision myself.

The reason I DISPISE EA is because they are at the forefront of dumbass marketing schemes to get more money out of you. I always feel like they have one hand in my pocket when dealing with them.

Current competitive gaming culture. Gamers are the worst when it comes to being a sore loser/winner. There's nothing quite like playing a game of Call of Duty to make you consider that abortion might be the greatest thing in the history of mankind.

I don't have to launch a game to feel like that, I just have to read System Wars and look for users like LoosingENDS, lazysloth, Iowe0, or Vandammfan

It's an l, not an I. Is reading really that difficult?

I rest my case

Serious question my bro, are you dumb lol? You want me to disprove what exactly ? His biased and SUBJECTIVE OPINIONS. LOL what's the point in even trying? I'd liken arguing with Delta-troll to talking to a brick wall, But if you are so eager to mindlessly argue then why dont you engage that troll in conversation? You are more then free to do so! In fact be my guest buddy.

Geez child, you're arguing about your pet peeves in gaming, not start a flame war between the 360 and the PS3. Let's not go off topic about this.

Something tells me I'd have a much better conversation with him than you. By the way, do you know what a paragraph is? I find it quite ironic that you try and call him dumb and you can't use paragraphs properly. Not every sentence is its own paragraph.

[QUOTE="brofists"][QUOTE="Slow_Show"]Guess I'll go with the industry's hard-on for multiplayer. Unless your game rhymes with "Call of Duty", "Starcraft" or "Halo", chances are the MP is going to suck something fierce and will do nothing to help sales/discourage trade-ins. So instead of pissing away millions on that, how about you put it towards some competent writing and/or voice work?delta3074
I don't know, Halo 's multi player is TOO noob friendly for me to ever really get into. Halo is like noobs paradise for FPS boobs

MLG, enough said

I'm sorry, I do not take the MLG seriously. When one of your top circuits is an console FPS, you have lost my respect. I mean honestly, it's just glorified aim botting at that point. Why no CS 1.6, CS:S, Tribes, Unreal Tournament 04? WHY Halo?

The fact that in many games you can't see your own legs.

(Btw, what the hell is wrong with GameSpot recently, you can't think anything without getting "HTML errors")

Single console/company fanboys. Also 'streamlining' games to make them more 'accessible'. Don't get me started on that one.

Biggest pet peeve naturally dephends on the genre. But a game with terrible controls is really difficult to enjoy.

Quick time events. When theres a cutscene, no matter the lenght, i wanna be able to RELAX, and not be on edge waiting for random PRESS X TO NOT DIE

Dull, bland shooters, and dull bland looking games in general. But a lot of shooters fit this description, so they're the ones I think of most often when thinking of dull looking and boring games. Games with inconsistent and very low frame rates. Also hate jaggies, but jaggies on their own aren't as bad as low frame rates. Combine those two sins and you have a real disaster. I also dislike how so many games nowadays lack that feeling of exploration. Too many direct you in one path with almost no freedom, and then you have a cutscene seemingly every 10 minutes. It gets boring very quickly. Then the emphasis online multiplayer and no real single player. And the online multiplayer is just more of the same. Nothing of real value.

Gamers thinking every game needs exploration to be good and can't be linear. I love linear games and open world games, but don't like games in the middle.

I would like the trophy reward system changed. Being a SP offline gamer, I find it irritating the I can't get a plat because I choose not to play online. I would like them to make all trophies offline only. Everyone should be able to get a plat or 2 without needing an internet connection. Have the online trophies be extra special bonus ones. If giving us trophies is a reason to replay the game, then everyone should have the same opportunity to get the highest trophy in the game they bought.

Most FPS nowadays being too short in their campaigns and focusing on online MP over SP. As stated above, I don't game online, so I don't buy these games because a 4-8 hour campaign is a waste of my money.

You can unlock uncharted 2's plat without the multiplayer trophies

4.Completely focusing on causuals (Wii mote/Kinect)

5.Lack of new IPs (But i completely understand this and dont blame them)

6.Yearly releases

7.Copy and pasting
