Gaming moments that you don't like

The gaming pet-peeves that get the better of us.

[Murph]

Every single escort mission, ever.

[Strife]

Every single escort mission, ever.

So true, by the end of it you just want to kill the retard your escorting anyway!!

Also all these sadly useless rugby games, when you up the difficulty level it just drops your player stats instead of actually making the opposition more skillful...get tackled lose ruck-turnover every single time!!!

[Maplassie]

Every single escort mission, ever.

+9999999999

Also Unskippable Intro's.
Or those moments where games use checkpoints, or boss battles where you die the whole time and you have to watch a movie upon reloading. That makes me pee my jean pant.

• Kill X amount of Enemies before a door continently opens.
• Feeble attempts at prolonging gameplay by attaching pointless & poorly conceived Multiplayer component.
• Games that Cheat or spawn an increasing number of super armoured enemies that need 3 direct RPG hits to go down, yes Ninja Gaiden 2 & Uncharted 2 I'm looking right at you.
• Driving sections in action titles where the vehicle handles like a turd in a river.
• Using Quicktime events as a Crutch.
• Inconsistent Narrative Elements or glaring holes in an established mythos.
• Morality systems where your option are; Mother Teresa Good or Hitler Evil.
• Calculations Masquerading as Choice.

Those are my top ones although Unskippable Cutscenes & Laughably bad acting does rate high.

When verification of my LEGAL game fails and I have to crack it anyway <evil glare to EA's corner>

Startup game scenes which I can't skip.

Quick times events are at the top of my list.
There are very few things that will make me uninstall or trade in a game, but this is one of them. When I cannot get past the very first boss in a game because I lack the coordination to hammer a certain sequence of buttons at exactly the right speed, and spend more than 15 minutes trying, I am inclined to look elsewhere for my gaming fix.

I enjoy cut scenes in general, and I couldn't spot bad acting,plot holes, superficial characters if they jumped out and kicked me inna panty.

Number two on my list would be DRM that takes the form of an always-on internet connection. At certain times in the year, my internet connection will yo-yo erratically for a few weeks before becoming stable again....

3. Perfect happy endings. Victory is seldom without cost, and can be bittersweet - Pyrrhic even.
