Worst trends in video games?

[runequester]

So figured we could have a nice bitch fest

The topic is.. annoying trends in video games, whether new or old.

What brings.. or brought.. you down?

FMV games from the late 90s?
Everything being first person?
Endless side quests?
Quick time events?

Unskippable cut scenes. Bonus points if its immediately before a really gruelling boss fight

Yeah, all games should be balanced for co-op. Where we differ though, is I call co-op someone having fun in the same room as me, not on a net connection. Split screen all the way for me. The Amiga and c64 taught me that.

A thousand times this. Give us the ability to play together for F sake.

There was a cracked.com article speculating that a big part of why the wii sells so well, despite being underpowered, is that most people dont care that much about specs.. they do care about being able to play a game together
