I'll reinforce load times. Was I spoiled by starting with catridges that don't make me wait 2 minutes for a level? Do you think we like staring at those screens? The Ps3 loads portions games into a hard drive (7 minutes for Virtua Fighter), yet still has astonishing load times. Of course, if that install isn't for speed, or is actually helping speed apparently, it still leads to:
Incomplete games. In 1998, PA made a joke comic about a game you bought but had no CD and had to wait for the patch to play. Now this is becoming the norm? That was part of the appeal of console games, you buy it, it works perfectly. If there are bugs, they recall, it costs them a lot, so they test the hell out of it. I also dislike downloaded content for a game (Map packs etc) unless the game itself is downloaded, but that to me really seems like they just shipped an incomplete game again and just wanted more money. Even free, it bothers me.
RPGS - No auto battle. Face it, some times, all you're going to do is mash X. So allow R1 to fast forward. And if they die from it, it's their fault for not recognizing a harder battle. (Some games do it, some don't. Digital Devil Saga did, and if you fast forward at the wrong time, you will die)
Bad Voice Acting - Okay, so long as you can turn it off/turn on subtitles/not make us hit our mute button.
See Ya George.
"He did not die - He passed Away"
At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.
