I just wanna know what are some things that bug people in video games. For example:

It really, really bugs me how video games tend to refer to electric/lightning based attacks/weapons/items as "Thunder". Thunder is a sound. It makes no sense to me and thus, makes me AAANGRY!!

So what bugs you guys? An impossible level? Inconsistent storyline? Ugly characters? I wanna know!!!

You know what really grinds my gears?

Whenever I'm trying to play a video game and I get really far into it, by collecting all the side quest items, or main items you need to progress the story and you are nearly at the end of the game. You save the game and it either glitches or crashes on you. It's so frustrating and now you have to start all over from the beginning and I don't want to go through all that hard work again.

There are a few things:



1. I hate it how the PS3 and the X-box 360 are constantly over-rated. Whether it be because of HD graphics, or the First person shooters, or anything else. Honestly, the graphics aren't all that their cracked up to be, and just about every single game on either system, be it Halo, COD, Modern Warfare, etc.... Their all essentially the same game with different names. Just go around and shoot stuff.



2. Going along with 1. I hate all of the people who believe that if a game doesn't have HD graphics, it's not a good game. From what I've seen, those are generally the same people who believe that unless the game has cussing, blood and gore, scantily clad women, sexual innuendos, a lot of DLC, gruesome killing, massive online multiplayer, and is on the PS3 and the X-box 360, it's not a good game.

2112tomsawyer : That couldn't be said any better! I hate elitists that are always saying things like "The Wii has terrible graphics so it must be a terrible console." But look at classics like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and LoZ Twilight Princess. These have been a couple of the best games released, and they just happen to be on the Wii. You don't need good graphics to make a good game, and these games, along with the NES era, proved that.

As for games themselves, I hate RPG's that expect you to grind levels before proceeding in the story. I don't mind sidequests and stuff that have some sort of structure too them. But in games that intentionally bump up to levels that you're not supposed to be at yet just so that you have to spend hours fighting monsters are just lazy in design to me.

WE got some pretty good stuff here so far.

2112tomsawyer : I know everyone already said it but, YES! I totally agree, especially since FPSs just aren't fun for me. I'll stick to my cartoon violence, because personally, I suck at FPSs.

Autsuma97 : Right, but we vizzers give those games a second chance at being appreciated again. If Mario actually killed Bowser, then he would finally settle down with Peach, he won't have anything to do so then Luigi takes the opportunity to be main character, and we just can't allow that now can we?

...END.

rendezvous564 : I agree. 



Besides. I want to see what would happen if we take someone who dominates in games like halo and COD, and have them play a game like the original super mario bros. That game by definition is a hard game.

You know what grinds my gears? Games with a retarded, non sensical storyline, games with bad glitches, and games with a bad checkpoint system. Oh, and most sports games.

vizwiz123 :
ok, sure, but how about some examples? That seems a bit vague. I do agree with the sports games though, they're not exactly fun when compared to the real thing.

Also, I hate it when games spawn enemies in impossible places where you can't reach. I was playing a random game online and it was prety fun, until the game spawns a spell casting enemy inside a wall. I tried to hack at it with my sword but nothing was happening to it, then I died.

What Grinds my gears....

I hate how games changed over the years especially the shows. Shows like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon I loved it when I was a little kid but in pokemon they kept replacing the girls i mean literally misty was my favorite after they replace her with may then replace her with dawn then Iris I just gave up and stopped watching it. And In Yu-Gi-Oh they keep adding rules into the show.

Games like Mario and Sonic were the best!! in the old days like Mario 64 or Sonic Collection after it became new, since they had better graphics and various adjustments to put in the old games it just became meaningless.

-High Five- for all the old games and shows which had meaning to the people who played it.

i hate games that make you watch the cutscenes,credits and i hate it when you die and the checkpoint has a cutscene so every time you die you have to watch it again.
I also hate when you need to watch the credits so you can save your game after.

Just re-encountered one of the things that really grind my gears in video games, condescending tutorials. I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to walk all by my self.

"Hello Player 1, this is the 'A' button". Ok, sure. "This is the 'B' button". Alright I get it. "This move forward by tilting the Analog Stick up". AARRGGHH!!!!
