Y'know What I Hate in Video Games?

[Avo]

This is just a general topic of things you hate in games but they seem to appear in almost every game you play.

I hate recycled bosses. Bosses that you fight early in the game, but they appear again later, but only harder. I actually really hate that. I find it to be really lazy. A good example would be Ghirahim from Skyward Sword. You fight him in the first temple, and then in the sixth, but he's only a little bit harder.

It really annoys me, I don't know why.

Quicktime events.

♥♥♥♥ you Resident Evil 4, you beautiful young goddess.

Things with really crappy controls. Examples being the second-to-last phase of the final battle of Kid Icarus: Uprising, and the mudboat in Super Mario Sunshine.

If the genre of a game series changes to something worse than before. Paper Mario (From more rpgish style to more jump and run now), Rayman to the Rabbit stuff and so on.

I really hate it when a game insults your game playing skills. A good example is Super Mario 3d Land, when after you die a certain amount of times, you get this suit that basically makes you invincible for the rest of the level and gives you the power of flight. That's just not cool.

Also, when I'm expected to mash on one button over and over again faster than I mash one button over and over again. I can never complete some of God of War's quicktime events because of that.

Walking a huge distance just to walk back again just to walk another huge distance and back again and then getting told "Well, seems you have to go there too"

Oh yeah, and having to collect something for somebody who stands 1 m next to the object he is looking for

Things being too easy
Unrecognizable/incomprehensible events you're just thrust into without explanation
Things being too monotonous
Things not being original enough
Things involving grinding
Things that don't fit in with a plotline and just seem like something extra jammed in to give it more content
Things that just outright don't make sense in a game that's meant to make sense

and things being too slow-paced.

Out of no-where final boss.

EG:
Mario and luigi bowsers inside story
Borderlands 1

Going through the game against who you think is the main villain which then turns out they're not and another random final boss turns up whoo hoo.

I can't stand it when you have to find something REALLY hidden and all people will do is either give you near-useless hints or give you the same hint as someone else has just given you (I find the latter even more irritating when you have to EARN the hint, such as battling to get it, then finding that the hint is the same as the one you got 2 minutes ago).

I hate it where in certain games, when you get a game over or die, you have to return to the begginning of the game/ level. I also hate extra which you NEED (such as the star coins from mario) to complete a game or unlock new levels
