Most annoying things in video games

several games...

I'm assuming this is a response to me, and not that the most annoying thing in video games is several games..

...although that could also be true..
*looks at worst video game thread*

when you somehow make it such that the game becomes unwinnable...

[ArtVeigar]

Arriving at second place or losing a time attack in a race game because of .05 seconds.

[Book Smarts]

When a common ranged enemy unknowingly holds the high ground in a platform game.

Team killers.


Story time!
Last weekend I was playing RO2 as a Soviet commander.
I was killed by a team mate. Why? Because he wanted more ammo for his PPSh.

And because I was a commander, I decided to do something for him.
When I spawned I searched him and when I found him, I shot him in the head with Nagant-revolver saying "Traitors will be shot."

I have no idea what he did after that. I was a little busy.

Not being able to saying no to something in an RPG like Pokemon for example.

Except "yes" or "no" especially.... If only I could have a maybe option in there...

Also, some questions where it will only progress if you choose the option that the game designers have forced you to choose. It kind of gets annoying after clicking an option 50 + times and wishing that there was a different response.

being forced to choose something that ends up being the doom of half the good NPCs...

[Ryo_D_Disk]

slipping and pressing the wrong key...

Negative effect power ups

Ok yes I understand there has to be a counterbalance to certain items but seriouly getting an item that decreeces your stats is just annoying expecaly when its perminant and theres no positve bonus to balance it
