- People complaining about Capcom
- Games that are localized in Europe, but not America.

I second the emotion of hating "escort" missions. Babysitting a weak character with the A.I. of a brain damaged monkey is NOT my idea of fun. Pretty much hate the whole stealth thing as well. Creeping around..hoping not to get spotted..is also NOT fun. Even when playing Metal gear solid..the sneaking was my least favorite thing. Its been done to death at this point.

I completely agree with everything you just said. I thought I was the only gamer out there that hated stealth; and for that matter I also hate constantly running for cover.

Desert levels. I can't stand them. I have no idea why. The only game I've played where a desert level was tolerable was 'Journey'.

I remember hating the desert level in Sonic & Knuckles...

-Ice Levels - Slipping and sliding around is NOT fun.

Especially in Wonder Boy in Monster World...

Typically I do as well, though Deus Ex: Human Revolution does make it pretty darn fun, especially with the takedowns.

Let's add boring, sleep inducing, poorly designed side quests to the list. Looking at you Xenoblade Chronicles(still a great game though, but very overrated)

Constant rebalance patches in fighters.. I hate it... hate it... hate it!!! I don't mind it every once in awhile, but I hate when it happens too often and the changes are so big that you have to totally change you're playstyle!!

Cameras in 3D platformers. When you're trying to walk a tightrope or plank by pressing forward, and then the camera pans around so the forward button changes its meaning from 'go forward' to 'jump off and die'.

THIS. I also hate this in 3D games where you have to climb a ladder and the camera will switch so halfway up the ladder you end up climbing down.

I also want to add doors that don't open, or are just drawn onto a brick wall. But then Shenmue 2 let you go through EVERY door in skyscrapers, which as I recall, 99% of them held nothing of significance, not even treasures.

I find stealth games extremely fun. Its thrilling when an enemy is right on top of you and you dont know whether you are going to get spotted or not. doing epic stealth kills and planning out how your going to navigate an area without raising alert is heaps more satisfying then running and gunning for me. I agree whole heartedly with babby sitting mission though. Metal gear solid 3 has the worst one I've ever played..
