I hate sucky final bosses. It's the big climax of the game, at least put some effort into it. Lufia 1 and Final Fantasy 10 come to mind.

Sports or exercise games*, probably with the exception of Wii Sports / Resort. If we wanna exercise, go outside and do something**. If we want to play a fun video game, we'll get something more fun. Don't try and combine 'em.



*I don't actually hate them, but they do kinda tick me off.
**Unless it's winter, but making games especially for winter is a bit dumb IMO.

I hate it when you're cruising along in a video game and suddenly you hit a boss or a level that's like WHAM and before you know it you've died twenty times in this one part of the game.

I hate when games took years of developing, then when it's finally released, it turns out to be the exact same game as the others and can be cleared within a few hours. (New Super Mario Bros. U is a good example of that.)
When in doubt, say Nyarglebargle.

Unless that will make you doubt more, in which case you're screwed...

New Super Mario Bros U is not a good example.
It was not in development for a few years.


Super Smash Bros 3DS on the other hand..
it's scaring me.

I don't like levels where you have to keep going through the same set of platforms over and over again because you're harmlessly being knocked off them or missing accurate jumps due to lousy jumping mechanics. You don't die right away, and you're practically stuck going in circles. It gets annoying after you fall to a previous part of a level 20 times.
