Filler.

I don't mind quiet moments to make the big moments stand out. I despise content with no purpose other than making a game longer. There's a difference.

 

*Edit* And lately, I've grown to despise "witty banter". It's more annoying than charming. Only Uncharted does it right. The dialog in trailers is the sole reason I never played Destiny. Keep that cool "Disney Channel kid talk" far away from me. Your character is not Aladdin.

Big reason I love Nintendo's writers. Nothing cool about anything those characters say. They're all uncool dorks.

Annoying gameplay sections



Well, for me it'd be DLC, updates, mandatory installs and paid online.



Games being rushed to market before being rid of bugs (major bugs).

I should also say an overemphasis on cinematic aspects.

GTA 5 is probably one of the worst offenders in this respect. Missions like these frustrate me to no end:

Cutscene, driving, cutscene, driving, cutscene, mission passed.

 

This is not interesting gameplay, Rockstar. Your old PS2-era GTAs were better.

Exclusive content for different game retailers resulting in different versions of the game.

Censorship.

The fanbase, mostly the Sony crowd.
Camera shake that induces motion sickness that im prone to (couldnt play Dying Light at all)
Fetch quest.
Multiplayer trophies/acheivments.

The worst case of that that I can remember was in Kane & Lynch 2.



They take time to play :P



Forced co-op or online elements in games that don't need them. For example, co-op in horror games and the online elements in the latest Simcity. The do nothing but detract from the the experience.
