[Rayderism]

I hate when you pause a game and it's still playing the music or making some other sound instead of going totally silent. When I hit pause, I meant STOP, including the sound.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Degardable wepins in game s liek Breathe of the wilderness or that clown ass cutie-e stuff residential Evil 4 pulls with the press X and O to not get wangpaled by the gambinos tenlacles

 

[NeonGhost]

Are you referring to the ones that at a distance fit into pixelated 2D figures and when you get closer they become 3D?



For example the skelletons?

Yeah pretty much like that example for me is resident evil 3 the game runs at 60fps but if there’s a zombie like only 10ft away it drops down to like 15fps

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I want to play and I get this fucking message.

 

[Represent.]

The fucking loud ass MOANING Leon makes when on low health in RE 2 remake

I dont mind it with Claire

 

[CGNoire]

Deacon saint John

Yep its the stupidest name.

 

[CGNoire]

Color, color and more colored enemies.... Same enemies but in other color.

Red enemy = weak, inmune fire
Green enemy = normal.
Blue enemy= inmune ice
Silver enemy= Stronger
Gold enemy = Dangerous enemy.

Zelda??!!

Some straight lazyass dev shit that is.

 

[CGNoire]

When you have to follow an NPC but their run speed is just slower than your run speed and you have to stop every few seconds for them to catch up.

Yah that was mostly a PS2 era thing.

 

[CGNoire]

Disappearing bodies. I get it for older consoles, but surely by now that doesn't need to happen -_- Let me bask in my carnage

This isnt a weird complaint this is a rather serious one. Shit fucking pisses me off. Looking at you Doom and Doom like gore fests.

 

[CGNoire]

Obtrusive or overcomplicated UI really turns me off. The best games have minimal or clean UI that communicates only what it needs to.

The Getaway was our Savior but Gamers turned away from the Light.

 

[CGNoire]

- Fighting soulless generic robots like Gears 4 with the DBs and Halo 4/5 with the prometheans

Yep I cant stand shooting robots in general very often cause that metal on metal sound when your attacking them with either bullets or metal weapons just sounds like no damage is ever really being communicated. Like metal on metal just sounds like ricocheting bullets. So unfullfilling and the resson I couldnt finish HZD. God I wish that game was about regular dinosaurs.

This reminds me. Huge melee war scenes in RTS games where every enemy is just spawning the same move over and over and not even trying to align to who there fighting. Looking at you Creative Assembly.

 

[bitbydeath]

Tutorials that drag for more than 5 minutes.

 

[ahtlas7]

Going deep into the menus, then pressing back, back, back, back to get back to the game only to remember I could have just pressed start to instantly return to game. That really grinds my gears.

 

[salva]

Subtitles on by default and hideous overly crowded HUDs

 

[k_trout]

Japanese games when quitting, got to go back into main menu, why ?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

When you have to follow an NPC but their run speed is just slower than your run speed and you have to stop every few seconds for them to catch up.

Yeah, what even is that shite about? Why is it even a thing!

 

[Phase]

Glad I'm not the only one who just repeatedly presses back to get out of menus in every game lol

 

[KiteGr]

The price of VR headsets being always twice than I'm willing to part with.

 

[diffusionx]

I mentioned this in another thread but Aloy's slide in Forbidden West is absolutely brutal for me. Hit the button and she moves like the entire world is covered with a slip-and-slide. It's ridiculous. I honestly might have to put the game down because of this.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

Unskippable cutscenes and videos.

 

[cireza]

Constantly looking at a rainbow.

Hey look, we put all possible colors on screen. Also, tiny icons everywhere and colored text that make you feel smart if you manage to read it !

 

[dorkimoe]

games you cant pause
cutscenes you cant skip

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

Tutorials that drag for more than 5 minutes.

or tutorials that pause the game to make you read something.

 

[geary]

The walking/running in some 3rd person games...Not many nail the correct pace for slow walk / walk / run...

 

[KillaJamm]

Clipping. I know it's unavoidable really but still annoys me.

 

[Freeman76]

In Ragnarok when playing as Atreus you can clear of room of 20 mobs in seconds.

Then, when playing as Kratos with Atreus helping out, he cant even handle a single mob on his own. Makes no sense to me

 

[PCFanboy64]

Invisible walls or blockers. The first thing that come into my mind are outside of the Seven Heaven in FF7R there are tables/chairs to the left and right that look like they are far enough from the wall to walk Cloud through. Nope. Trying to go between them and the wall is a wall. The second recent ones are in the center Village area in RE8. You can't jump over this entire fence...only some....that are all the same height. You also can't crawl under in areas that are more than half your height.

The other is visible pop-in, once I notice it I can't stop noticing it. I'm not a BotW hater but for a modern game the ground clutter quality changing from almost flat to full so close was almost impossible for me to stop noticing.

 

[Robb]

Too much to list I think. Everything from things like forced walking to minor stuff like not seeing reflections in mirrors.

 

[Dragon_Rocks]

Water or blood on camera effect in a third person camera game.

 

[Edgelord79]

Annoying kid sidekicks.

 

[Pagusas]

Games that take control away from me. I adore the half life series for keeping you 100% in control the whole time, from opening to credits. I wish more games would do this.

 

[Supple]

Games where you can't see your entire character at all during gameplay.

 

[Krathoon]

The penis cave in Final Fantasy XI.

 

[Skelterz]

Spelling mistakes.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

This stuff

 

[MiguelItUp]

- Disappearing bodies
- Lack of impact when hitting/shooting enemies (missing animation, blood spurts, etc.)
- Pop-in/Pop-out
- Lack of ragdoll
- Framerate dips
- 30 FPS
- Texture tearing and flickering
- Crashes. The easier to reproduce, the more annoying, especially from "big" studios.
- Extremely obnoxious or overly annoying characters
- Forced walking segments (though some are exempt), hell forced segments in general that players can't skip or fast forward
- Extremely hand hold-y tutorials that are forced to playthrough
- Grammar errors, especially from AAA studios
- Funky or weird collision. Especially instances where enemies have no collision, but players do. Like attacking in a hallway where a player can't do it, but an enemy can.
- Bad UI
- Bugs that are easily reproducible and haven't been fixed

 

[SmokedMeat]

- How everyone just happily converses with the silent protagonist, who just sits there like a dumbass.

- Katanas/Swords/Lightsabers whittling down that enemy health bar. Cutting weapons that literally do nothing visual to the enemy.

- Chonky low resolution U.I. Button prompts that say I’m a lazy console port from two gens back.

- Covering up cleavage

- Scrawny characters wielding massive weapons. Looks ridiculous.

- eSports

 

[Aenima]

Tiny subtitles with no option to enlarge them.
Some devs just seem to create games with monitors in mind and forget that subtitles need to be larger on TVs to be read from a distance. CDPR was pretty bad at this with both Witcher 3 and Gwent being really hard to read not only subtitles but inventory text. They patched the games later with larger fonts, and Cyberpunk dont have this problem. But with more games having accessebility options, large font size should be a mandatory option.

Sega seems to be one of the few devs with default subtitles that are as big as the ones i see on movies.

 

[CrashNBurn_281]

Escort missions where the npc walks the entire time.

 

[cireza]

This stuff

Imagine having to name every single audio file. How do you even proceed to recognize which is which one.
