And why is that?

And why is that?

Shallow game play, misuse of franchise licencing, lack of modding support......

Hey that sounds like EA to me...... Don't forget buying studios then crushing them so they can't make more stuff or pushing games out the door with no QA at all, the players become the beta testers

So what are your pet peeves when it comes to electronic gaming?

One of my least favourite ones to start this off "unskippable cutscenes"

Especially in games that you really like that you have played a lot beforehand. Why no option to skip scenes if you have already beaten the game once or twice before?

Adverts - hate them and being forced to spend real money to progress in a game.

back in the old days of video games systems when the video games would sometimes freeze from outta nowhere

I know why there are parts of the map you can't go to (because it's not part of the game and they didn't program that section), but it's part annoying and part funny when your character is incapable of stepping over a twig on the ground.

but they can in cutscenes

In MMORPGs, when quest items (objects or critters) share spawn points with non-quest items, such that you have to click/kill the non-quest items over and over to get the quest items to spawn.

badly spaced checkpoints, not being able to tell when saving is happening

not having manual saving, and worse: manual saves that are lies

All of the above.

Modern games suck for not having manual saves.

It's not hard to implement is it?
