3) Your younger sibling “accidentally” deletes your save file on your favourite game
“But I was over 50 hours into that game?! Why?!” – Trust lost.
4) Being forced to walk places
There’s nothing more tedious in games than being forced to walk slowly around the place with no option to grab a nearby car/tank/helicopter and head on your merry way.
5) Experiencing the dreaded invisible wall
There’s nothing more irritating than striding with purpose towards an area, when you’re blocked off because you haven’t unlocked it yet. “You cannot reach this area yet” is one of the most hated messages that gamers see in-game.
6) Unskippable cutscenes
Particularly frustrating when you really just want to see more gaming action than cinematic cuts. We’re looking at you Final Fantasy.
7) Having to explain to your parents that you NEED to access a save point before you can stop playing
Seriously, we do! How else is the game meant to know where we last left off?!
8) Having to deal with scratched disks
You fork out €50 on a new game and within weeks it’s scratched and unusable.... Sad times.
9) Waiting for your console to update
Slowest. Thing. Ever. Especially when you’re in the mood to just unwind with a good game!
10) Movie tie-ins that cash-in on their success
The majority of the time, movie tie-in games are a complete waste of time with lazy gameplay and hollow characters simply released to cash-in on the success of a blockbuster. Please stop – original storylines are so much better!Explore more on these topics:
