Games that don't live up to their hype in the slightest (Fable, Fable 2 and spore just off the top of my head). It's particularly annoying when a game is good for about an hour or so until you realise how incredibly dull and repetitive it is (Sins of a Solar Empire).I quite enjoy cheesy storylines and voice acting, but maybe that's just me.
What are you sick of seeing in video games?

I am sick of bad voice acting, overhyped celebrity voices that are phoned in or minimal (ala anything from Bethesda), space marine chosen ones, morality systems that boil down to choices between saving orphanages and raping them and poorly thought out sandbox restrictions.

"You must kill the dragon in the south cave, but a boulder is blocking the cave entrance. The town to the east makes dynamite, but it's been stolen by pirates. The pirates are at sea, so you'll need a ship. The town to the north has a ship, but the blacksmith owns it. He'll only give it to someone who can pass his feats of strength. The ninjas who lives in the mountains will train you, but at a price. They only accept obsidian. The only obsidian in the land is found in the fire caves, but the caves are guarded by the Golden Golems. They will not let anyone pass unless he can answer their riddles. The wisemen to the east may know the answers you seek, but they will not help you because their elder sage is deathly ill. He can only be cured by dragon's blood. There is only one dragon in the land. It is in the south cave. Good luck."I hate RPGs like these. --------------------

I'm tired of being the good guy with a happy ending. I want more evil endings in games. Tragedies, even.

spiky haired protagonists, the tutorial in the beginning of most games, and after you defeat the main boss then another boss comes out that you had no idea existed.

I hate tactical RPGs except for utawarerumono (I think thats how you spell it). Crappy voice acting! poor graphics, lack of side content outside of the story line. Invisible walls!!!!!!!!!

When you talk to a character and they pretend like they've never seen you before, and say the exact same thing every time. Also I agree with the racing game thing, the computer jsut suddenly gets really fast for no apparent reason. And they always get the items that will antagonize you the best, no matter how uncommon it is.

A lot of what's been said already. Bad voice acting, poor AI mechanics (too easy OR too hard), drawn out storylines, BAD storylines, atrocious control layouts that can't be customized. What I haven't seen from the few pages I've read: Annoying, angsty, teen-aged protagonists who have some "dark" and "mysterious" past. It's overdone. With the way things are going in some games, I'd gladly take a silent protagonist over a talking one. It's why I think Link should never speak.

I cant stand random battles anymore either. I hate it when you take 2 steps and then all the sudden another battle starts. It is hella infuriating. I couldnt finish Lost Odyssey even though I loved the story. I couldnt stand the system anymore, it was just unbearable.

I truly have to say it and be hated by this. I hate Alterlier Iris(Except Alterlier Iris 3. It was ok) series, Ar tonelico, and Mana Khemia. NIS, what were you thinking?! The first thing's first, it is 2d, flat-out 2d. Everything is like pieces of paper animating which I think the whole kind of games like this really cheap. For some reason many people like the games, which I felt frustrating because I tried so hard to like at least the gameplay or story, which is absolutely impossible.The second thing is their characters, which is cliche and repeated, redundant drawings one game and the other. And what's up with girls wearing ginormous beret? Why??The last thing, I really think that NIS should permanently stop Gust productions. it 's just plain bad, these are the reasons I seldomly watch Animes, because if you Gust, you are one of the reasons I started to hate the things I love.Sorry for these harsh statement, it was just too long I have kept these things inside. Ever since 2005.

I am sick of seeing evil characters completing their goal after a hard, long battle. They should have actually died and I think it's not fair.

-Random crashes. Sudden Freeze's It really stops you from playing a game.-Triggered AI response. Example is in a fighting game when you deside to punch, you are basically triggering/pushing the block/dodge button for the AI.Good other examples-When tackling in Mario Smash football, the computer always dodges/dribbles arround you on a higher diffeculty setting-On Mortal kombat when performing an backward high kick AI ussualy slides you down with a backward low kick. In later stages in the game, the AI really triggers their actions to respond on yours the whole time, its insane.-Games which involve battles which are the same the whole timeExample are Pokémon, or Eternal Sonata, although i like these games, you mostly win all the battles with the exact same strategy and moves.-Maze dungeons. Water Temple from Zelda OoT for Example.....-Games with a lack of checkpoints, IE ninety nine Nights.-Too many Random encounters within a short ammount of time.I actually played Pokémon platinum today and wanted to explore a grass field but after moving 3 to 5 steps evrey time i got an encounter and only got about 7% EXP per battle which went kinda slow because the battle had to notify me of "There is a deep fog" after evrey turn". Think EXP is also running short considering you have 6 PKMN but thats not the topic.-the people online who refer to everyone whos not them as a noob
