I take it you hate bushido blade huh

I never played it.

Does Mario show up and start talking to you with his horrible accent?

Or does the main character complain about his PS2 breaking during every cut scene?

[classicb]

1. Myst (what a waste of time)
2. No sequal to Nights
3. No new Tecmo Super Bowl games
4. Early 3D (playstation, saturn, jaguar, n64)
5. No more Sega Hardware

[AMG]

In no order:

1) Bad controls
2) Time limits
3) Game glitches
4) Lack of save points
5) Bad ports

[musical]

(1) Teenie-boppers who play the latest game and say it's "great great great!" and then WE old-school gamers try it, and realize it's "mediocre mediocre mediocre"...... all pretty pictures & sounds but little substance. Example=Zelda Wind Waker

(2) People who only own one modern console, and put down all the others. (aka fanboys) Try to be more open-minded folks and/or buy a second machine.

(3) The current craze for online games. I think the single player vs. computer is FAR more fun. Example: No cheating.

[rscaramelo]

1. US soccer gamers not getting any respect. Here's your annual FIFA game. Play it and like it! If you don't like it, screw you! Mod your machine and spend $100 on an import.

2. Hockey games need more blood and missing teeth.

3. Microsoft is in the console business.

4. Nintendo is a "kid's" machine.

5. Idiots who drive prices up on stuff on Ebay in the last minute.

[PentiumMMX]

There are actuly 10 things that bug me about gaming:

1) Fanboys (I can't beleve I was one one of them! )

2) Any Sports Game

3) EA (They have not released a good game since 1994!)

4) Sonic Heroes X-Box Version (The Camera keeps agusting it's self and getting stuck in walls!)

5) Pokemon Cartoon (...Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off for the 1,000th
time!)

6) G4techTV (Icons, The Screen Savers, and X-Play are the only good shows,
and they play the crap out of Players, Sweat, and other crappy G4 Shows)

7) Dumb*** News Reports about "Violent games make Poeple comment
murder", "Video Games make you Fat", and other Anti-Video Game Reports

8) Barney's Hide and Seek Game (It's a real Sega Genesis Game, I'm not
jokeing)

9) No New "Battletoads" Games!

10) eBay Auctions like "Super Mario Bros.\Duck Hunt RARE !!!1!!1!"

[le geek]

1) Extended fanboyism versus the occasional "Hot flash" (can be guilty of it too BTW)
2) Leaving awesome games in shrink like say Ikaruga (guilty too!)
3) MIA Sequels (Shenmue, Nights)
4) GBA "Double Dip" Ports (aka Zelda 3, etc)
5) Tommy T Hatahs!

Cheers,

In no particular order

- 2D vs 3D arguments. You might as well argue whether RPGs or SHMUPs are better.
- Anti-sports games arguments. They're popular, get over it.
- Anti <Company> arguments. Company X is *not* out to get you. Trust me.
- The Online movement. Nothing against it specifically, I just resent the implication that I shouldn't be enjoying one player experiences. Online gaming mildly interests me, but I'm still a solo gamer first and foremost.
- Previews. There's too many of 'em, for too long a time, and they never really tell you much. It's just a way to advertise a game 'gratis' for months on end.

(4) It's annoying to see people spend $50 for Matrix.

(5) And then totally ignore great stuff like Ico, Space Channel 5, Beyond G&E.

How do we get people to stop wasting $50 on crap like Matrix? And instead make them buy the jewels???

[Captain Wrong]

I changed my mind. I like this list better.

1.PR reps that know nothing about gaming.

2.Gamestop/EB employees that know nothing about gaming(I hate my job too, but I like to think that I know some things about it).

4.People that hate new games because they are new.

5.When a company makes one bad game and critics say that their glory days are over.
