What annoys you most in gaming?

That's an easy one. It boils down to pay to play online and season passes. You buy a game for $60 and the developers want you to turn around and spend an extra $30-$40, hah no thanks.

 

EDIT: how could I forget online trophies?

The clowns that run around modding or hacking and ruin the game for the rest of us....such as.........GTAV Free Roam!  I'd love to get that crate or whatever is being offered without being repeatedly killed by someone in god-mode or doing a wall glitch.

While the ps3 version has a lot of them, there aren't any hackers in the ps4 version of gta5.

 

People that refuse to play a game because it doesn't have trophies

People that refuse to play a game because it doesn't have a platinum

You'd be surprised what is going on in the PS4 GTAV free roam.  I wish there weren't any hackers but they are still there.  Ran into a few of them yesterday....

Until the firmware is broken on the PS4, it's just not going to happen. There are definitely people that abuse connection speeds though

Well, the $20M that was being dropped on people yesterday wasn't the normal free mode.....xD.

Mini games needed for trophies-> FFX is a prime example of annoyingly hard ones, and World of FF is another. 

Having trophies that rely on luck-> World of FF

Having a bunch of ok trophies, but then one almost impossible one that screws you over for the plat. -> For me, it was FFX's Chocobo game. 

Collectable trophies that need 100% of something and usually take a million hours-> Tales of Vesperia was just that. The most unforgiving for missing even a single enemy or item.  

Unskippable cutscenes-> Tales of Symphonia had this, hence I didn't bother with the 5 playthrough's needed for the plat. 

Long loading times-> FFXV

Bugs and glitched trophies

An already expensive game that makes you pay for storyline related DLC-> FFXIII-2 when first released, but it's cheap now I guess.

Save points and not being able to save regularly or anytime-> not everyone has the time to play ages until the next save point. My friend complained that Bloodborne was very hard because of it. 

Autosave without manual save-> Life is strange was guilty of this. Having to replay bits of the story was annoying. 

Having an excessive number of missable trophies. The odd few are ok, but games like Tales of Vesperia and Lightning Returns has almost all the trophies as missable. Atelier was another.

Needing to play online for the plat-> I don't like playing online and having to rely on servers or boosting for the plat is annoying. 

 

I don't play online, so my issues are for offline play.

Multiplayer Trophies

I'm not a fan of being forced to play online to get a platinum.. If I see this, there's a solid 90% that I won't even bother giving it a chance.

 

Counting trophies without an actual counter

You know the ones.. *Kill 200 enemies with x or y* and then you realise there's no fucking counter. Sigh...

 

Season passes

Season passes that are;

- Overpriced

- Don't actually add shit

- Worthless

FUCK THAT SHIT.

Especially if it's a remaster of a game from a while ago and it's being released again and they fuck up by making a mappack PAID DLC. I'm looking at you, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. FUCK you Activision!

 

UI for ants

I personally see this very often on console games on a TV screen; in my case a 55-inch TV. You start the game, it loads, you start playing and the UI is so small that you're basically forced to sit so close while you're a lot better off sitting a fair distance away.

Overdone trophy ideas

Some trophies are just too ridiculous to get.. So when it's some ridiculous shit that takes ages to get around, then fuck you. Fuuuuck you! I don't mind putting time and work into earning trophies, but don't make it something that ends up literally taking days or shit to get around.

 

No jumping action/option

I always tend to jump, fuck, even if not necessary! Why? I don't know. I don't care. I generally just hate it when you can't jump in games. Only the odd one here or there is a bless to actually play through (Firewatch).

  • Online/Multiplayer trophies

I just generally hate anything competitive online. Co-op is alright if I actually have friends who play and the money for PS+... 
But local co-op is the worst as I have no friends that live close to me. I remember cheesing one such trophy once by plugging in another controller and just beating myself.

  • Mini game trophies

I really, really hate mini games most of the time. Why are they a staple in games? I basically never like them.

  • Unskippable cut scenes 

This goes for non-story driven games or after you've beaten the game once and they're still not skippable.
Or worse, unskippable tutorial dialogue if you have played the game before etc. Or long, unskippable death/mission failure dialogue on something easy to fail repeatedly. Just a really long death screen is annoying too honestly.

  • Inverted camera or flight controls with no options to change them

This really only applies to older games now. Newer games usually come with the option to change that... but oh lord if they don't...

  • Freezing

Pretty sure that's a given for everyone though...

  • Planned DLC

I really hate planned DLC. I'll buy it if I love the game more often than not, but I by no means actually support it. I liked when games came complete or DLC was just an afterthought. Which goes to say I guess I don't mind if the DLC is completely optional extras, but if it ads content that feels like it should be in the base game, no.

  • Escort missions

These usually suck as a rule of thumb... 

  • Micro-transactions

Especially RNG based micro-transactions, so you spend ridiculous amounts of money trying to get what you actually want. I will always give games with micro-transactions a wide birth.

I'd add the following:

 

People that refuse to play a game because it has multiplayer trophies

People that refuse to play a game because it has unobtainable trophies

The whole No plat no buy
Saw that in the Sonic Mania topic 

AI spamming the same move over again.
Mission objects that are on the other side of the map and I have to go all the way back if I fail the mission especially on a large map area.(Think I actually raged more at this then actually failing the mission) 
DLC
Multiplayer Trophies( I don't mind playing online sometimes but I just don't like having to rely on others to get a trophy)
Glitches( At least ones that don't let you finish the game)
And games that have lack of save point locations

Simple, short, frivolous story line stretched by multiply turns of events unrelated to main plot. 

Diversity of choice like two lines which are specifically nothing more than agree - disagree.

When game mechanic always stops player from getting into serious problems with heavy consequences, also immortal npcs.

Ground level maps, where only may be a dungeons which are probably same strong ground level.

Abilities that could turn game into an ultimate fun all are hidden at game's end were there will be few time to use it.

Bad balance, where one thing turns others into pointless, like you can be anyone with anything but only certain this and certain that bring victory. Or more "funny" when everything else besides what is good will greatly reduce gameplay or will be represented in different short story about why you shouldn't be like that and please start everything all over again and do what we think is very good.

I can play games regardless all those reasons above. This one is a real nightmare for me. I can also play the ones with unobtainable trophies, but that's only when I find those games interesting.

The most annoying one during a playthrough with an Ai. They do seems intelligent partner but they tend to fool you in anyway likely to have you killed or glitchy. And the worst part when poweroutage after you have done such amount of playtime on dead space without having it to save in spot. You lost everything. Oh the pain is real :(
