Video Game Pet Peeves

It's seriously annoying when you're trying to explore in the dark and the stupid flashlight barely lights up anything. It's even worse in indie horror games where they just use it as a way to make things more frustrating. By the way, I'm new here on the forum, but I'm a big fan of CS2. Any other gaming pet peeves you wanna chat about? Let's keep this thread updated.

 

Don't play CS for the time being. There's a potentially nasty security issue atm.

 

I have tons, these aren't listed in any order.

Guest characters, especially in fighting games. Especially when guest characters make the game but actual characters from the series do not. Completely unacceptable cash grab.

DLC, especially fighting games where half or most of the roster is DLC. Completely unacceptable cash grab.

Forced patches, especially ones that remove fanservice. How is that acceptable?

Digital only games.

Online only games.

Lack of anime characters in M.U.G.E.N. - especially characters who aren't from Battle Shonen.

Lack of characters from actual fighting game series in M.U.G.E.N. - especially frustrating considering how Mugen is a fighting game engine yet so many fighting game characters haven't been made. Most of the Rival Schools characters and every Plasma Sword character besides Hayato being missing is just nuts. Of course these characters were only in 3D games and thus don't have sprites, so they'd have to be made by fans. The frustrating thing is, fans make tons of characters that have nothing to do with fighting games but won't make Lincho/Chairperson or tons of other actual fighting game characters.

Lack of nude mods/nude sprites for M.U.G.E.N. characters. With all the edits made by fans, I'd think nude mods would be a priority.

Hypocrisy from Sony and Sony fans. Female characters have to have all fanservice removed or censored, and showing a female character naked is considered sexist now, according to Sony and their fanboys, but meanwhile Sony themselves makes Ghosts of Tsushima, which has naked male characters, and it wins "Game of the Year" from the very same fans who claim nudity is bad if it's a female character.

Video games using licensed music instead of creating their own soundtracks.

Censored games.

PS1 and N64's atrocious 3D graphics.

Video game companies no longer making sprite based games. Sprites > 3D graphics except for maybe Gamecube era graphics.

PS4 and PS5's atrocious attempt at life-like realistic graphics that just ends up having the "uncanny valley" effect.

Japanese games being Westernized which is probably almost every Japanese game on PS5.

Western games being the most popular now, which was NOT the case during SNES, N64, and Gamecube eras.

Handheld games that I can't play on a TV. It's annoying looking down at the screen.

Fighting games on PSP, their awful to play with that atrocious analog stick.

Playstation controllers. They are made for smaller hands and therefor uncomfortable in for people with bigger hands like mine. Gamecube and Xbox 360 have the greatest controllers.

Woke garbage.

Sony. Especially their anti-Anime, anti-Japanese, and pro-censorship policies and injecting politics and westernizing games.

Lack of English dubs for games released in English speaking countries.

Normal features being removed from a game so they can add it back in the next game and claim it's new.

Games that don't let you change the camera angle. Aside from Fighting games where it's okay to have a set camera, and maybe Third Person Shooters.

Games where you have to play as a male.

Games that have manservice or naked male characters.

Lack of character creation in most games.

Lack of games where you can just create an anime girl or anime style girl and play as her naked. There are some hentai games, but I don't want a Hentai game. I don't want sex scenes like those games have. I want a Ecchi game where I can just see female nudity, no sex. Just walk around as the naked female character and play like a normal game (either beating up villains or doing whatever genre the game is).

Lack of butt jiggle in games that have boob jiggle physics. It's completely unrealistic for only the boobs to jiggle, and unfair to ass fans because girls butts should have jiggle physics as well.
