Lots of them nowadays.

- Autosave warnings.
- Cutscenes you can't skip or pause.
- PC ports with bizarre symbols for the buttons when you plug a controller.
- Endless waves of enemies on action or action RPG games.
- Random encounters that can't be avoided.
- Quick time events are getting pretty annoying and overused too.

Unrealistic overconfident enemies in games. In Batman after you completely own all the big enemies that were scared of them. Are still like "I'm Gonna kill you batman!". Or like in Uncharted they sent like idk 1000 enemies at you and yet they still think they can kill you.


That's a good one. It's also in The Last of Us. You can kill 10 people, but that last guy will still be like 'I'm gonna fuck you up asshole," Really?... okay I'll just put you to sleep.

- QTEs
- Cutscenes that you can't skip or pause
- Side paths that lead to treasure or a valuable item
- Predictable ambushes
- Convoluted storylines
- Games that encourage you to scavenge and check the corner of every single room

It frustrate me that games/consoles lack the feature to do temporary save states. If the Virtual console can implement such a feature why can't mainstream games also offer the same feature? It puts me off paying games at certain times, as I am not sure I have the necessary time to able to make enough progress to the next save point to attempt to play the game.

When you make a selection and a window pops up "are you sure?" . But the highlighted option is "no" you must carefully select yes. Sonic Adventure is the biggest offender of all time.

Big button flashes on screen all through the game. Do it for the 'Tutorial' stage and then leave me alone to play by myself, i dont need my hand held all the way through...

How a lot rpgs don't have random encounters anymore, autosave, yes autosave if you don't know why wait till the power goes out or your game freezes during an autosave. Online trophies, im not a huge trophy whore but when I think I could get a platinum trophy only to see it has online trophies. It would be easy for them to patch the online trophies into the game day one. The reason im missing the plat in Far Cry 3 is because of this, just frusterating to be so close.
