In 2D games when an enemy respawns almost immediately after it's off the screen. Say your going up a mountain, kill an enemy, go up a little more, get knocked down a ways, and have to kill the same enemy again, get knocked down, kill the enemy again, so on and so forth.

It's kind of hard to explain, but if you know what I'm talking about, you know it's annoying.

Yes, that does suck SO hard. Many an NES game are almost unplayable (or at least unbeatable) because of this...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSAHAH, my favorite part was when you got hit by the van. Excellent song for the moment BTW. Way to take a bump too, wanna wrestle in GCW?

...just go easy on me!

Well, if fighters that are way to hard are a problem, as I noted that some months ago(gee, this is a nice long ongoing thread ), then too easy fighters are another annoyance.

I picked up Virtua Fighter 4 today for the PS2 for $5 at the flea market. I'd heard good reviews, and wanted a to try it out, knowing ahead of time it was a technical fighter. So I play the arcade mode without messing with the difficulty, and whizzed right through it. Lost a couple times, and to the "bonus" final boss, but otherwise had no problems with it. And this was just mainly button mashing.

Hopefully the Kumite mode will warrent some good play time. I like the idea of the ranking system, and character customization is always addicting.

Both that and the finished thing are made of WIN.

Thanks, Shadowman!

Dino Crisis 3's camera. So absolutely annoying, it killed the fun facter in this game for me. In fact in reviews, the camera is many times listed as THE main problem, especially when you tried to move anywhere. You would be walking or fighting, and the camera would shift without warning. Espcially annoying if you were trying to reach a higher platform or fighting a tough enemy. Plus every time you backtracked to somewhere, the dinos that you had killed before would respawn. THAT was also very annoying. If a place was cleared out, I wanted it to stay cleared out.

What irritates me most about video games is that at some point, there is always gonna be a scenario or a mission that you're really gonna hate doing. And you'd have to go through with it to progress further into the game.

Uggg, there is one mission in Robotech that is suppose to be an escort mission. Instead you just sit back and watch as the ship you're trying to escort goes flying into the bad guys and dies.

No Bosses in Soulreaver2, and if a Bug gives you an advantege in gameplay it will most shurly end in a sistem crash.

I had no real problem with SR 2 because the story was so good that scene where Kain gives his coin on its side speach riveting stuff, then finding out that Raziel is the soul trapped in the SR Now thats Gravitas. Now heres something annoying I dont think has ben said already Beating a hard level or boss then your system freezing before you get a chance to save.

1) time limit stages

2) Automatic damage for any contact with an enemy

3) side scrollers where you cant go back once youve moved a certain point on screen

I think we can safely add "touch screen Transforming" to the list.

ok heres mine,

10. challenge modes which read "DON'T GET HIT"
9. delayed magic/special attacks ("oh great thats hit late and now i dont need it")
8. endless waves of tanks in RTS, just cause i play that way dosnt mean the AI should (ok this isnt a real complaint)
7. overly long boss fights with no breaks/save points/checkpoints.
6. "insufficant funds"
5. lag! (mostly from my WOW days)
4. fighting games where you just cant seem to do anything.
3. replay's of getting killed/KO'd (i know what happened i just saw it thank you!)
2. escort/protect missions ("not that way ya eejit!")
1. being uber un realistic (perfect dark zero springs to mind, normal mode, 2 to 3 clips emptied into one guy, he's still standing, not a boss)

probably more but i cant think of them right now.

Unlocking useless content. Like spending hours on a game, getting a message "You have unlocked content!" and finding A FREAKIN PHOTO!
