Oh, and another one I can't stand; "the final battle is at hand! But first, go do 4 hours of tedious padding." I hate it when this grinds a game's pacing to a halt just when it feels like you're building up to the climax, and it seems to happen in a frustratingly large proportion of big games.
It's like when you're wanking and feel an orgasm coming on, then doorbell rings and it's some annoying door-to-door salesman or the Jehovah's Witnesses.
