Annoying Things in Otherwise Great Games

Escort missions.

The game? Take your pick.

Ico?

Never played it...

^I'm not a big fan of escort missions myself, but dammit I adored Ico.

Ico makes escorting fun, but it is usually a total pain.

Metal Black's fucking bonus rounds!!!

Shikigami III's insta x8 bomb thing too.

Shikigami III's insta x8 bomb thing too.

Haven't played this one yet but we can add Shikigami II's voice acting to the list.

Playing Illusion of Gaia right now, one thing that's really annoying is that there is no option to set the text speed, so I end up accidentally mashing a button right when a text box appears, and it goes away. Otherwise it's a great game and I really like it.

"I'll give you two options:

A) Beaten then Caught
B) Caught then Beaten"

Plus, you can turn "Demo" off when picking your game, if you do get tired of it.

^yeah I agree with dun. I love the bad voice acting in Shiki 2.

The final boss in Tech romancer: this guy is the main reason why I don't play tech romancer more....You have to kill him 4 times(twice for each form). Thing is he only has to defeat you twice. His win counter does NOT reset when he goes to the second form. The fact that he is also a very cheap/difficult boss doesn't help....

Technically if you set the number of rounds to 1 you would not have to fight Goldibus *4* times but yes, and if you're Kikaioh you get the awesome victory theme on the final part, but there's nothing more satisfying than putting the Final Attack-down on that bastard (even more so with Bolon & Pollin!)

Having to teleport to bed at 11:30pm in Shenmue. Why can't I stay out all night

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS and then having to get told by Ine-san not to stay at the arcade so damn late! I JUST WANT TO PLAY MY QTE TITLE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT?!

Also, that rather annoying meeting encounter that occurs during of the days Ryo is at work, you're supposed to meet a group by the lunch stand at around 1-2PM and there is a bug that causes it NOT to happen even though you're there at the right time which means the storyline won't advance and you're stuck having to work another day!

Fortunately, Shenmue II gives you a bit more freedom in Hong Kong.

Metal Black's fucking bonus rounds!!!

Easy now, we know that reticle doesn't lock on when it should but I cannot deny how awesome it was in 1991 and of course Dancing Ho(r)ming!

It was never awesome. It sucked. Granted I never played it in 1991, but still, logically, it must have sucked as much as it does now.

Since someone mentioned pokemon:

Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow- Wrap. Unless your overleveled to the point that you can OHKO Erika can be an annoying fight because of that move + stun spore.
