Games with dumb achivements. Like that one in Dead or Alive: If you lose 20 times in a row online, you get a achievement, but get 0 Gamer Points. Also, having a Star Wars reference (Be it a level, or :Insert name here: I am not your :Insert relation here:) Another is when you have to multitask many things at once(VJ Red Hot Rumble) or when they want you to go for 100% with hard to pick up extra stuff.
Expect nothing, but remeber everything.+ I am tired. Future spot for Doraemon in MvC picture, the second I learn to create it. (Even further: Pepsiman for Mvc picture.) Insert random Doraemon anime .gif. (Also, Pac-Man Delta whaling on a MLP character .gif........) Now, Wipeout....... OTHER STUFF? Needs blue SSB 64 Mario in tornado .gif......... Add Super Mario Fighters 3 sprite here........ Also, now doing KFA stuff...

Unimaginative character designs (A spiky-haired dude with amnesia and acute laryngitis? A chick with ginormous ta-tas? A Yaoi-bait villain? Gee! Sounds great!)

You could have just said 'Final Fantasty 7'.

free to play games that force you at one point to spend money on it. DeNA's Blood Brothers had a shitty way to sugarcoat forcing the players to buy upgrades from it,
they basicly let free players and premium players (who have a shit ton of upgrades and powerful monsters) compete against each other, instead of separating their servers.

When it becomes luck based. Or like in PSABR, the general idea was just stupid...
Alright this is like a normal response (I guess), but then you just sorta ignore all the replies you get. And I don't mean like, you have to reply to every single post that replies to one of your own, but you have a very big habit of not trying to participate in conversations at all. It's distracting, it's no fun for anyone else, and stop.

This is a forum. This is a platform for conversations between people, not just a place to drop off your random thoughts. All communities are enriched by discussions between all kinds of people, but that requires, you know, actual discussions.

Anime tropes.
Bad voice acting.
Awful dialogue.
Stupid characters.

Though none of those things really stopped me from enjoying Bravely Default. The gameplay in that game is THAT GOOD.

^ These pretty much. It's kinda why I don't play JRPGs anymore. Not that WRPGs don't have their fair share of bad VO and such, but they don't seem to be quite so egregious.

Item management that consists of slogging through countless menus

Bullshit checkpoint placement

No means of fast-travel

Unskippable cutscenes

Motion controls that are neither responsive nor necessary (better with Kinect, my sack!)

Convoluted stories and plot exposition that doesn't make sense. This is usually because:

1. I need to play a previous game, which I hate in most cases because it should be clearly explained to me anyway. Maybe have it mean something to people who did play it, but I see no reason why I can't just jump in and be immersed.

2. The game was originally japanese so that specific part makes no goddamn sense due to translation or something.

3. The developers are full of shit and decided to pull something out of their ass.

1. That game unlockables are mostly replaced by achivements and DLC's. In the "old days" we got tons of unlockables like costumes, bonus levels, extra modes, art/ending galeries etc. for beating the games or doing something special, now most of the time we only get some stupid achivements or we have to pay extra money for a DLC.

2. Day one DLC and on disk DLC, I think I don't have to explain why.

3. If Game companys wasting time and money to force some extra Multiplayer content into a game that was 100% designt for singelplayer, instead of using there resources to add or improve singelplayer content, like in the last Tomb Raider game.

4. No Cheats and Modding because of Forced always online DRMs and achivements.

I'm confused did you mean this for real or is this a Joke? o_O

Clunky tank controls

Ridiculous achievements that take eons to unlock

Drab level design

Overpriced DLC

Terrible platforming segments

Multiplayer maps that look too similar to each other

Online-only games that have a serious lack of customization. Titanfall suffers from this.

I dislike feeling like a game was built to get my money.

I know this is a really vague thing, but if it feels thrown-together and there's DLC later, it just doesn't have... soul.

Compare MVC3 to Tekken Tag 2. TTT2 has so much soul and love it hurts. I'm really thankful to Harada for making a game that people will enjoy, rather than one that people will buy.
