1000 things you don't want to see in a game ever again

- Including a tutorial that doesn't work, doesn't teach you anything and gives vague directions and objectives. EU3 stands out in my mind for that.

It's worse than that I believe, 'cause I think they actually never really updated the tutorial from a few expansions ago so it's not even quite compatible with the latest version of the game, yet, somehow, you can still click on it and boot it up. At least, that's what I think. Maybe I'm wrong.
 
58. Steam required to play the game

59. One unit per tile

60. Global happiness

61. That voiceactor that does Bismarck
 
It wouldn't have made the game any better.

Slippery slope of Civ 5 discussion. Take it to one of the throngs of Civ 5 complaining threads in the Civ 5 forum please. This is about games in general and 1UPT is great in many games.

Dumbing it down for the casual crowd. The plague and death of gaming.

Oh lord I hate that so much.

Very good example of this is Dark Messiah, Might & Magic. Basically everything you need to do in the game is explained in detail just before you need to do it. No need to have brains to play this one folks. And some of the stuff is really self explanatory and obvious. It feels like the game designers thought this game will be played by retards. Or is the average gamer today that stupid this really is necessary?
 
One of my pet hates is companies releasing a multi-player game that has a cursory single-player campaign to pretend that it is playable off-line. Another is EA Games and their automatic presumption that their paying customers are pirates.

Storylines that either don't make sense or is very very dull and tedious to understand and get immersed with. Games like The Darkness and Mass Effect are two games that should have their storywriters line up against a wall and shot, executioner style. There is no reason why I should get bored with the storyline. At least step it up a little.

You don't want much, do you? You probably hated Knights of the Old Republic and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind for having boring stories as well.
 
Anything that even closely resembles the scene out of max payne 1....where you had to walk across the thin red line of blood without falling. Oh so gut wrenchingly bad.
 
invisible walls and poor mapping in general - ie colliding with a surface parallel to yourself while driving, for example, and being stopped/crashing

It happens occasionally in one NFS game, Most Wanted I think... I'll be driving along 100+ and scrape the side wall fencing thing that is perfectly flat and paralell to my car and it crashes my car like I ran into a titanium wall.
 
After finishing Half-Life, I never want to see ladders again.
 
Afghanistan. Remember how people were about WWII a few years back? Same opinion, but with sand.
 
How many games feature Afghanistan? I can think of one, and it bombed (Medal of Honor).

People still complain about WW2 games, though I agree a lot of it has been overdone I am really looking forward to Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad.

MW2 had like 1 level in Afghanistan iirc...
 
No the problem was it only had 3 levels called days, with like 4-6 sub levels IIRC but it was all in Afghanistan
 
World War 2
 
Escort quests. I'm playing the Witcher again (I didn't want to start over, but I did), and that stupid Vesna somehow managed to get herself attacked by every monster (those dog things) on the map. I had to restart it because she died right at the end. I couldn't figure out any way to heal her.
