by mattyftm

While we all love video games, but there are some things that are so annoying, so terribly terribly infuriating.
 
These are in no particular order.

Showing 1-10 of 10 items

1. Item 3015-290

The death of a console is never a good thing, and when it happens as regularly as this, it's horrible.

Uwe Boll

2. Uwe Boll

The man that makes games into the WORST MOVIES IMAGINABLE!!!!!!!

Amy Rose

3. Amy Rose

There is a large selection of bad characters in the Sonic universe. I don't know why Amy is the most annoying, but something about her makes me want to rip her heart out and shove it down her throat, so even if losing a heart doesn't kill her, she'll choke to death.

Braid

4. Braid

This one is an odd one. It is a masterpiece. It is a fantastic game by any definition. But every time I play it IT MAKES ME WANT TO KILL MYSELF!!!!! The puzzles are nearly impossible, and make me feel like the worst gamer ever.

Unskippable Cutscene

5. Unskippable Cutscene

This is especially annoying if the game is tough, you die a lot, and you are forced to watch the cut scene at the start of the level over, and over, and over, and over, and over again.

L-Block

6. L-Block

Not specifically the L-block, but when you get a block in Tetris that you don't need is so fucking annoying. I DON'T NEED A DAMN L-BLOCK YOU STUPID GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME THE GODDAMN I BLOCK!!!!!

Rubber Band AI

7. Rubber Band AI

You know the scenario. You're winning a game. Quite probably a racing game. You're winning by quite a distance. And then all of a sudden, out of no where, the AI suddenly gets better. A lot better. And you end up losing.

Escort Mission

8. Escort Mission

Escort missions are the most stupid thing ever. The dude/dudette you're escorting is inevitably the dumbest person in the world who just runs in to danger and expects you to save him/her.

Mr. Resetti

9. Mr. Resetti

The annoying mole from animal crossing who bugs you every time you switch off the console without saving. He'll give you a really long lecture about why resetting the game is a bad thing. I wish I could grab his pick axe and embed it deep within his skull.

Invisible Wall

10. Invisible Wall

When you can see where you want to be, and there is a clear path to get there. But you walk into a wall. An invisible wall. So annoying.
