This is NOT a "Games you Hate" Thread! This is a thread about any games, good and bad, just parts of them you don't like or just annoy you, or completely piss you off.
No Mass Effect Three, cause I think EVERYONE agrees the ending was weak and I don't want that to crowd the thread.

I'll go first: Kingdom Hearts 2- In the beginning:
It feels like it took forever to get the game going, I couldn't get through Twilight Town fast enough, and after a while of going through the story, I almost gave up! But after that it was great!

I don't really like games if they don't have a good story/ characters, or if the ending sucks. Or repetitive music. Or misspellings/grammatical errors -_-;
I also hate it when the game doesn't give you hints! Like if it's a game where you roam around the map, and you get lost/ forget what to do there is nothing that will bluntly tell you your progress.

Games with long dialog you have to read. I know it's important to the story, but it gets old when you spend most of your time reading the story

quicktime events, those cutscenes where buttons appear on the screen during a cutscene, often while youre relaxing from really intense gameplay, and if you dont press the buttons displayed within a second or two, you die, and have to restart the mission. theyre SO unfair!

I hate the fact that once I finally start to enjoy Skyrim and get used to it,the thing begins to freeze and lag

When a game ends on a cliff hanger, promising a sequel, but never delivers, or it takes way too long, ex: Beyond Good and Evil, Hydrophobia, Blade Kitten.

A game you get way hyped over cuz it has cool features but only lasts you 8 hours and then theres nothing you can do with it anymore (brink) I wont buy a game unless I know it can last me 40+ hours

Rpg's that are linear and don't let you really explore the environment.

>>7 This.

Also the sad fact that Military dudes just don't stop coming in Call of Duty glitches.

>>8 Thats the kind of game that I actually like, RPG or not. If a game has a story to tell and doesn't want you to take your attention away from it, I say go for it.

As for what I hate in games? Bad stories. To me, if it doesn't have a good story, then I have no interest in buying it. Multiplayer doesn't matter to me.

Repetitive dialog and bad story endings.

>>7 Eight hours? Almost nothing lasts more than five hours with me.

Either way, pretty much >>7.

In almost every Final Fantasy game I've played, there's some plot twist that's so extreme that I think my brain might explode trying to comprehend everything.

And Dragon Maleficent was reeeally hard in the oringal Kingdom Hearts...

When the trailer for the game shows you super freaking amazing graphics/features but then you buy the game and the quality is way below what they lead you to expect. V:

Crappy graphics or storyline

There is only one flaw I can't ever forgive. Bad game play. If it has bad game play, I don't like it. I just got done beating Dragonball Z Legacy of Goku. It only took two and a half hours of me hit and running and spamming blast attacks.

majortiy of the video game producers such as capcom
they used to be the best but now its one dissapointment after another with them

Kids. Kids swearing their heads off and crying every time they die. Xbox Live was INFESTED with kids and switched to Ps3. I rarely meet a kid on Ps3 but when I do, their mature.

I hate when I'm play a great RPG/SRPG, but it ends too quickly. Sakura Wars, for example, was only about 20 hours long.

I hate repetitive gameplay like in Ultimate Tenkaichi.

Also that fucking popped collar in Persona 4

*playing

I hate unnecessary tutorials
- I think it's pretty obvious how to jump or move

Also slow tutorials

CURSE YOU TUTORIALSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

I hate how you can only level up to level 30 on fallout:new vegas.

When a game's story builds up so much, and at the climax, the final boss battle.......is a complete let down DX
ex. Fabel 2

I hate how I had to constantly grind in Dragon Quest 8.

Video game logic. In a certain you can get mauled by an alligator and instantly get killed, yet when a huge spear penetrates you and blood flies out you only little damage is done. I think that a lack in consistency like that is just one big face-palm.

>>27 IKR? You get hit by a freaking warhammer in the head and take only like 10 points of damage but walk into a saw blade and you die instantly.

I hate Score Attack in Persona 4 Arena. It's really difficult and the only way to get navigators for free.

So the game is basically telling me that I can man the fuck up and beat Score Attack Mode or be a pussy and buy them.

There are many awesome games, but a reccuring problem I keep seeing is that sometimes they make them too linear or they put more effort in making good graphics than making good gameplay. I think it is for this reason that I tend to like the older games better. But there are still some real gems around if you know where to look.

When games apply one button for 3 or 4 different things...

Immature Brats in Multiplayer games..... Lots and lots of immature brats...

In CoD multiplayer, I hate all the little kids, all the racist people (most of whom are black), and how people get pissed off and start yelling at you when you beat them. It gets annoying after a while. I hope Borderlands 2 won't be the same way.

I hate all of the new style of multiplayer shooters, like COD, where you have to be online for it to be fun. What happened to the games that was badass with only 2-4 people playing?

>>35 Dungeon Siege 3, Devil May Cry HD Collection, Ratchect and Clank, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted, Dragons Dogma, etc. They still exist, you just have to look.

>>35 Borderlands was wonderful, dunno what the hell you're talking about :P

On topic: I have a great dislike for developers that make a game for the money. Developers that do it for the fuck of it (and happen to make money) make far more superior games.

>>38 you mean how COD NEVER actually IMPROVES? they just add new graphics and guns....

lag. everybody hates lag, and this applies to almost all games.

>>39 it will never get better, we will all still buy it sadly

I hate when games randomly spas on you and close down without you being able to save

The game community for games like LoL/HoN.

MW3 spawn system. Let's face it, it's just total shit.

Bad games are at fault of companies, popular repetitive FPS arcade-junkie fans are at fault of the idiotic fan-base community.

What I hate about GAMERS is 4 things:

1. Base everything on Graphics/Realism
2. Makes excuses on their team for failures despite the so-called "MVP" didn't do well (AKA Admin Abuse also counts)
3. Think one game is a copy of everything.
4. And my worst pet peeve: When people worship video games as a science/religion. Seriously.

>>45 That's just... Kids.

>>45 Companies arent the only ones truly at fault the Player-base is also at fault for degrading themselves to barbarians while holding a controller... and about people worshiping video games as a science? its pretty valid since IT IS a product made by science which in turn makes it a part of it.....



well also i might want to add how short story lines are now...
usually it takes me a month to finish one game now it just takes 3 days at most....

people who don't play at the arcades. i'm litteraly going there everyday. im sick of people not playing with me on ridge racer 7. ARCADE FTW.

>>48 THIS!!! And nothing beats a good Tekken or Soul Calibur Arcade tourney.

Let's see. FPS's annoy me. Same game over and over. Stick me with Halo 3 or MW2 and I'm fine. They were the peaks of the industry. RPGs that don't allow exploration. Glitches. Mods and Hax. Idiots online. Bad Stories. Bad Gameplay. Game 'loyalists,' you know, the ones that play one freaking series? There's plenty more, but I won't remember until I encounter them again. Oh! Overpowered/bad AI in Soul Calibur III. They were a pain in the ass.

>>49
-Lol a bit guilty of being a Loyalist RPGs only though
-same with how FPS's annoy me... Kids and people who dont even fight fair
-people who quit when you're beating them in a match then suddenly complain when somebody does it to them...
-Overpowered AI? well thats fine actually try fighting Demi-fiend in Digital Devil Survivor then TELL me whats overpowered...
-Bad Story and Gameplay.... well id Throw COD on that..sorry COD fans
-RPGs that dont allow exploration? well theres not point in playing that if its a straight line to the end... oh wait i forgot FFXIII did it...

>>50
I'm a loyal JRPG player, there's nothing to be guilty about, if people say you should be guilty for not playing a certain game they love, then they are admonishing brutes that should be ignored. RPG's have been degenerating a lot recently, thankfully, companies like Nihon Falcom and Atlus decides to actually listen to fans and stick to traditions that were always fun, adding innovation here and there to make games more interesting. However, the challenge increases as the innovations increase, unlike FF VII-XIII's learning curve. (Which I found myself that this game was way too easy, yes, FF VII sorry, but I think you are overrated).
By the way, If you haven't played at least one of these JRPG's
Valkyria Chronicles
Final Fantasy Tactics 1,2, IV or V (VI included)
Earthbound/Mother 3
Ys 7
Ao no Kiseki
Radiant Historia
Chrono Trigger
and say JRPGs are boring, not innovative, and obsolete, I will consider you a biased and ignorant person that refuses to acknowledge other people's opinions then your own.

Now to something I also have to say:
FPS's degenerated ever since Modern Warfare 1 turned out. Call of Duty 1, United Offensive, Brothers in Arms, Medal of Honor, the storylines of the classics were always better then the crap infinity ward and EA puts up.

People ragequit all the time, I learned that through the fighting game community. I understand that, but at least they have the dignity to say "I want a rematch". In FPS's, it's disgusting how much people complain about their team being the worst despite they are the least helpful person.

Which puts me on another subject: EA and Activision, Activision destroys FPS, so I don't give a shit about them. but EA? Hell no, they are the plague for me, they closed down Pandemic Studios, tried to buy Valve to destroy it, and subjugated/closed a lot of good and potential developers, so fuck them.

>>51
Valkyria was too easy if you know how to utilize classes same with FF Tactics
Ys 7 is a challenge with controlling
Chrono Trigger was one of my Favorites....

I love playign the Hyperdimension Neptunia Series,Rune Factory Series and Agarest War Series try those if you want a real challenge

To be totally honest, I do like CoD. People trash on it for being the same game over and over, but you guys act like we don't already know that when we go to buy a new one. The reason CoD is so popular is because of it's small maps (fast-paced action), and because it's competitive. I'm not a fanboy or anything, but honestly, CoD fans already know what they're buying when they get a new CoD. (It's also damn hiliarious to hear people get pissed when you beat them constantly because you're better than they are)

>>53 I do hate when I get called trash though. Not because it insults me, mind you, but because it'll happen 50,000 times a day and it gets pretty annoying that nobody can come up with a creative insult.

>>54
it still leaves us one question......Why do you still buy it XD...no offense its really a curiosity of mine.. same thing to those who buy every single release of any EA game...

>>55 Because that's what people want. It's like when people buy anew phone. Why? Because you wanted a more updated version of what you have already.

Secondly, I mean, if it's stupid for people to keep buying CoD games, then I guess you aren't. That means they'll be spending time playing a game that you won't, so you don't have to put up with the "stupid people".

Also, the same thing is true for ANY sports game as it is for CoD.

>>53
I was an avid fan of Call of Duty until World at War. Modern Warfare 2 and beyond just wasn't the same game that I loved in my childhood. The storylines and singleplayer theme was whole entirely different, where in CoD 1, you were only this one little soldier fighting a scale war beyond you. In MW2 and beyond? "Me, Me, I'm so amazing, saving the world again and again by myself". This attitude that I saw from the community is what set me off of FPS for about 6 years. Battlefield 3, despite what people say about it, also set me off, because of the amount of promises and innovations EA trashed ever since BF2.

Why do people buy Call of Duty still? Easy, they want an easy quick-pased self-glorifying game where they do not have to do any work for it.

The complete lack of expression in character's faces! Your mom or lover dies and you're sitting there holding their corpse with this expression: ._.

>>61
lol i remember those games haha XD good times...

So, I wasn't trying to bag on JRPGs. I love them. Graphics are great, stories are pretty much always good. They're overall great games. I just don't like people that are always like, "OMG xbox totally SUX and PS3 is sooo much better." Oh, have you guys heard of a game called The Last Remnant? I wanna play it, but I can't find a review or a copy. Ideas?

I want to essentially kill them.

Oh, and Sports games are dumb. Why don't you just go outside and play it? Seriously. Freaking EA. I will say they did a good job with NFS. It was a great series until Shift happened. Carbon was my favorite.

When it comes to CoD, I just keep MW2 around for the multiplayer. And then I turn the Chat off except for my friends on my party. Single is just horrible, I'll keep WaW for that one, with it's bloodiness galore. I remember blasting so many heads off with the Trench Gun.

And >>50, don't even remind me about that battle. I used SCIII because it kicked my ass the other day, but Demi-fiend was so over-powered. Urgh. I never did finish it, actually. I rage-quit.

Sometimes I don't feel as immersed as I could be in a game, When I played WoW I was very immersed and was quite happy. I've stopped playing since, due to financial and time issues, but I haven't felt that immersion in a game since than. I personally can't wait for true Virtual Reality to be developed and the first VR MMO.

>>63
It's cool if you can't beat overpowered characters, unless you were using a stronger character then Demo-fiend. Anyways, Last Remnant was decent-good for me, I loved it, but I preferred Vesperia English dub for xBox, until the PS3 Translated updated version came out.

Games that dont have a Strong Plot twist are Games i dispise

Games that are only released on a particularly country, and I hate it more when that game is awesome :A

>>66
Sora no Kiseki will be your friend. Try the first chapter for English on the PSP or Japanese for the PC, you will see soon why you will want the second/third chapter.

>>63
beating him was awesome then after that all i got from him was some stupid message on a stone....
and ya those Xbox Fanboys wont stop trashing on PS3 players.... like how the 3DS fanboys Trash around Vita Boards because they think their console is superior....fricking morons..
>>67
Project Diva F....IdolM@ster 2.....lots of Tales and Atelier Games.... *sigh* Japan always keeps the good stuff...

>>63 Last Remnant has a PC port, meaning it can be pirated off the net via torrents and enjoyed on your terminal.

Thus bypassing the inferior Xbox altogether.

I hate when they are way to convenient. I understand that you need to add things in the game that are unrealistic so that you can pass it. But, when it gets over the top, then it's just annoying. Dark souls was good at not making almost anything convenient.

People who complain about a person doing the same tactics over and over instead of just countering them.

Many great games never get localized. For example .hack//fragment, I would like to have seen this as a great MMO, but....naahhhh cancelled after a few months...c'mon, they didn't even TRY to sell it!

I hate it when RPG's get simplified in the course of a series. Mass Effect 1 to ME2? What happened to the item system. I'm glad ME3 brought more items back.
Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim. I have a love hate there. I love having complex item systems and enjoyed the games (especially Shivering Isles). Still, the slow reduction of armor pieces is driving me insane. I understand the logic behind it but man... Just give me set bonuses if you want my armor to match.

I hate those games you download that say they're free but you have to pay for a membership in order to do anything! I mean wtf?!

>>73
So many good games that I wanted to play wasn't localized... Yet. Still, at least some good titles got through. But yeah... The library of mine is mostly compromised of games from Japan that was shipped to the US

>>74
ME1 and ME2 were great, but ME3, I didn't like the sudden Asset system being thrown out of nowhere. That was the reward of all the hard work I did, Bioware? The fuck!

>>75
Isn't that technically a Demo? Unless it's MMORPG's, then the best thing to do is just quit the MMORPG because the monthly memberships aren't really worth it. (6 months of 15$ fees = 2 games that could last you about a year)

I absolutely HATE digital downloads for entire video games. If it's indie games or DLC I'm fine with it, but I can't stand having to download an entire game. I much prefer physical copies of a game or anything for that matter. I'd rather take the case off my shelf, take the disc out and put it into my console rather than turn on my console and press a button to start. I'd rather do the same thing with blu-rays and DVDs. I would much prefer taking a book or manga off my shelf and start turning the paper pages rather than sliding across a screen to turn the page. I just hate that companies and distributors are pushing digital download instead of physical copies. I love going down to a shop, having a look around the shelves, finsing something I like, then buying it.

By "finsing" I mean finding.

DDO (Dungeons and Dragons 0nline) this game wasnt that bad, it just wasnt amazing, The aiming system as well as the speel casting systems were weak and honestly most any other MMORPG game is way better than this game...So there is room for improvement.

i don't like the part in ANY game where you have to sneak around without your weapon like that forsaken fortress in zealda:winde waker

>>76 no they aren't demos I mean online games and a good example would be club penguin but not as childish.

What really irritates me is in Fighting games, like DOA 4&5, Soul Calibur 5, and Street Fighter 4, There comes a fight that is impossible to win, no matter how good you are, They just beat you down for hours until IT finally decides to LET YOU WIN!
Doa 4 had the Alpha 152 which teleports behind me EVERY TIME I GO TO HIT IT! Not to mention the ONE-HIT KILL!
Soul Calibur 5 the opponent is super fast, and would not let me get off the ground!
STREET FIGHTER 4 Seth has all those problems!

What's worse, is when they tease you and let you get their life down to where you only need one more hit, and you have a full life, then BAM! They unleash an unholy combo and freaking destroy you!

All this on the "Very Easy" level........BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by the way, anyone know where I can get a new TV? I broke mine by chucking the controller through it.

Ressurected now aren;t we?

ONe thing I hate in games is a plot line that just makes no sense.

HEre's an example, not from any game but you'll get an idea:

*le me playing Ar Tonelico 5 (which is not a real game... yet)*

Character 1: You killed an entire nation with that crack pot idea... You killed my family! I'll never love you again.

Character 2: I had to, I was ordered. I'll still love you evemn if you hate me.

Character 3: Guys, we should run...

Characters 1&2: Why?

Character 4: BEcause there's a massive trogbeast behind you both....
*le battle*

Character 5: Now we just need to keep going until we reach *insert location name*.

Character 1: CHaracter two was the maiden after all?!

Character 10: YEs, and now I must kill her to save the country's life from Terroists.

*le me now*: WTF is this shit?!
---

Easy assboss fights. sure, in the beginning they;'re okay but when you get to the last boss and they have only one hit point and you win in like three hits... its a let down.

LINEAR STORIES PISS ME OFF!!!

Games that lack a good story are horrible.

When you have a game that's just so slow moving (like Tales of Graces f), you know to just go play Call of Duty or some shit like that.

>>82 THIS

FUCKING THIS!

One thing i absolutly HATE in games,espicially if im reading a wiki,see some one online with the gear,etcetera and i see that ot gets you like 9 gajillion plus attack 7 bajillion def and all that other stuff you have to have,for example,beten the game on the hardest dificulty,reached level 10002 or what have you and complete an ABSURD ammount of chalenges,which are also hard as *]?|+|¥.

I hate bad endings and unoriginality. Also I love twists in the story, but I hate it when they happen obviously.

Games that look like they'll last days...then last five hours (almost all of them), endings I hate (LoZ: TP mainly), bad stories, destined lose battles (where you are required to lose an easy battle in order for the story to continue), enemies that never die ever, when games have levels that take way too long to increase, and bad graphics (unless it's an old game (8-bits)/meant to have bad graphics (like Minecraft)).

The fact that every fps is almost an exact replica of the other with slightly different mechanics (except halo, I like halo)

DEATH NOTE FLASH GAME! it should of been longer and when your talking to L ((i havent folowed ratio.)) i hate how you just lose the game for saying somthing wrong..or for suspecting hes L if he wanted to be unknown dont make a world wide anousment saying I AM L!

Games that leave open endings/to be continues, (Hydrophobia, Blade Kitten, Beyond Good and Evil) but no word on any in work for years!

>>88 thats because most fps and other games usely have only one selling gimmick, like "crysis" you have the nanosuit, "Red Faction" was one of the first if not the first games with deformable terrain, "Half-life 2" with its *realistic/or close to realistic gravity physics*.

and Halo is no different from the few games I just mentioned, the only thing that matters if *you* like it or not.

>>89 Did you even watch Death Note all the way through? Moron.

bump

"You know what they say, The more the merrier" <-This abomination of a phrase that haunted me for years on end!
Also, Bump!

I love Magna Carta: Crimson Stigmata, but there are SOOOOO many things to hate about it. It's just depressing how bad they are. The story was fantastic, but first off, the game's called Magna Carta (and it has absolutely nothing to do with English history :P)Calintz looks like a woman (I'm really not exaggerating at all) and the English voice acting is hilarious (and embarrassing at the same time). During the game, I was torn between turning off the voices and keeping them on just for the sake of reminding me that Calintz was, in fact, a guy. :_( I love the game, but it's a terrible game.

I don't like games that have cliche stories like... "Oh no! We have to save the princess!" or "I love you, honey! Now, I hate you. Get away from me. I like another woman and she's better than you." or "We have to destroy this government that's killing the world!" Maybe it's just me playing the wrong games... Idk.

Unnecessary quick time event's. Clipping issues. Multiplayer. and such things...

In multiplayer games i hate it when people have no sportsmanship

People online sometimes, god they can get annoying especially the people with no sportsmanship when playing shooters. I cant tell how many times I heard " OMG your such a hacker, you fucking bitch" ect and ect. It's not hacking its called skill

>>100 Are you kidding me? I love that. When I'm doing good enough that people resort to calling me a hacker, I'm like "thatnks for the compliment, bitch. Now I know I'm miles better than you".

What about Bioshock 2? The Windows Live integration single-handedly makes the game a lot less palatable. I want to reinstall it, but when I think of having to install Windows Live again... *shiver*

When the game FREEZES and you have to erase the freaking file.

R.I.P. my Listener Dragonborn assassin wanted man Ragna the Bloodedge SKYRIM Profile!!!!

Subtitles and Dialog at the same time and having an indecisive game not know whether or not it will have a full plot.

The fact that someone wil fanboy over a specific console, Mainly 360 or ps3 But honestly I have both. I mainly use the ps3 as a computer substitute and the 360 is just... well it's just there to look good. When I play multiplayer on ps3, you barely hear any whiny kids, yeah theres lower security on hacking but there nothing I love more is playing the one match that get's me to final prestige. I don't know, I suppose I like ps3 more.

I love anything Kingdom Hearts <3

okay i had a really long post explaining everything about why i hate these things but now I'm just frustrated about it deleting all of it for being too big so ima just make a short list and anyone who wants to bitch about it can just deal with it

1. QTE's in cutscenes that never let you relax

2. bad graphics on purpose that make 12 year olds bitch about it

3. graphics so good that the game sucks

4. bad voice acting that make your ears bleed when a female character enters with her high pitched voice

5. stereotypes and memes in games because duke nukem... nuff said

6. shooters with a storyline because CoD Black Ops was dumb as republicans trying to do something right...

7. games that revel in its short play time because prince of Persia has an achievement for finishing the game in so so amount of time...

8. new game + because instead of coming up with end game content you can just play the game again with all your old shit...

9. DLC because i should only have to pay for a full game not full price for half a game and pay four dollars for 20 fragments of the rest of the game

Mini games that are not optional and wont let you progress in the main game until completed. Though this is somewhat rare nowadays, I still have terrible memories of Final Fantasy 7 simply because i didnt know how to freaking use the motorcycle controls.

>>110
fuck i hated that part... i played that and when i finally finished it im like thank fuck i never have to do that again... only to find it 30 minutes away at the gold saucer... not compulsory but its there and it sucks...

In Guilty Gear, some of the games have no story/backstory/or character endings, and it's irritating, cause I like to know WHO THE FUCK THIS CHARACTER IS! why are they fighting? are they good or bad?
I know it doesn't NEED this to play, but it makes the game more enjoyable.
Not to mention I keep playing to see the character endings.

No Character endings for Fighting Games
DOA 5
Soul Calibur 5
Most of the guilty gear games i've played

What i hate about games:
- Almost every game that comes out nowadays is half finished or is in early access for decades.
- All the Season Passes you need to buy and DLC's in general to get the "full" experience.
- Long Tutorials and explanations for every little thing ("just bring back Instruction Manuals and leave it up to the player to figure some things out")
- Region Locked Games
- Unnecessary Censorship

bump

- Local multi-player is on the decline.
- Single player only games are on the decline.
- Developers love building hype trains that ultimately build expectations up too much.

>>116 I agree with every singel one of them.

Grinding xp, crafting materials or just any sort of repetitive task you have repeat for many many hours just to progress

Noctis. I hate Noctis. Real talk I don't mind him as a character,BUT the dude is too loud. I try to listen to Ardyn explain himself but Noctis is loud af and I can't hear him. I'd let it slide if it was a one time thing but its not it's every single time.
