Most Annoying Things In Gaming

[Menegrothx]

You guys would hate Resident Evil 4 then. About half the game is an escort mission.

More like 5-7% of the game, if that. Go play Silent Hill 4 first and then come back to see how well the escort thing was done in RE4. It's a very minor inconvenience compared to escorting Eileen literally through the second half of the game.
Just watch this video and you'll realize how much more poorly they could've handled the escort missions with Ashley in RE4.

Games that have someone's name etched into it.

Most annoying thing is that there are too many damn games.

That, or there's just too little time in life.

If I created a videogame I would like to have the same credit every single other artist in the world has.

Hell, if there's something to be annoyed, it's at the fact games like Portal are heralded as one of the best ever made and we don't know who made them.

Kim Swift seems to be doing quite well with her Portal pedigree.

Going to an arcade putting in my $.25 and the machine eats it

Putting in my money and the buttons or joystick is broken

Waiting for 24 small kids to get the hell out of Ferrari F355 Challenge cockpit version arcade machine

COME ON! YOU HAVE NO MONEY, CAN ANY OF YOU REACH THE PEDALS? WHERE IN THE F__K ARE YOUR PARENTS????

Putting a fiver in the change machine and only getting $4.25 in quarters?

Playing skee ball and the machine has no exchange tickets inside and being told "sorry can't help you"

Seeing my fav pinball machine and the machine in not level making all the physics messed up

Someone bumping into me more than 2 times at an arcade... use your damn eyes!

Using a reciept voucher from last years summer long quest to get the biggest prize in the arcade and being told "sorry we are under new managment we no longer accept those vouchers" WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Wildwood N.J.

There are arcades even outside Japan in 2012? Besides the few shooter/rally cabinets in a movie theatre (I'm actually surprised the haven't removed them, they probably eat a ton of electricity and you never see any one playing them) and the the occasional arcade cabinet next to a bunch of gambling coin games in an amusement park/airport, I've never even seen a real arcade hall

Hell, if there's something to be annoyed, it's at the fact games like Portal are heralded as one of the best ever made and we don't know who made them.

I blame modern technology. It was easy to know stuff like that back when most video games were made by 1-4 people. Nowadays when you look at a game's credits, probably less than 15% actually did actual computer programming, animation or artwork All kinds of people get credited like market research&PR people and what not.

Though she isn't making another Portal now that she has left Valve, her next game, Quantum Conundrum, is looking really cool:
