PocketEpiphany Published 11/16/2021 in Funny

Video games are meant to be enjoyable and relaxing, but every now and then, they are anything but.

That is because certain things are guaranteed to piss you off while playing. And we've rounded up the most annoying things that happen while you're getting your game on.

1.
When my character can't do things I could do - like climb over a three-foot-high wall.
2.
The posture I always find myself in
3.
When you beat the boss but then the cutscene has you lose.
4.
Escort quests. The target is always trying to get themselves killed.
5.
When you’re at a part where if you die you have to watch an entire cutscene again no skips.
6.
When I increase the difficulty but it only makes my character weaker.
7.
90% chance to hit MISS MISS MISS MISS
8.
Everyone in the house suddenly needing me for one reason or another
9.
Any mandatory requirement for an internet connection in a game where you never do anything that would require connecting to the internet.

"You must create an account!" F*ck you.

"You must access the game server to play!" F*ck you.

"You must download and install patches for 3 days before you're allowed to actually start playing!" F*ck you.

"You don't actually want to talk to or interact with other players or find out other people's scores or see how well other people are doing or get holiday-themed DLC or be nagged to buy stupid skins and pay-to-win credits, but you must have an internet connection anyway!" NO AND F*CK YOU VERY MUCH.
10.
Plot-critical NPCS behind multiple loading screens. Quick-travel to the wizard's tower (load), enter the tower (load), climb the stairs to the second floor (load), go through into the portal to the wizard's inner sanctum (load), talk to the wizard. It's less common than it used to be but still gets me every time.
11.
When the main character does something in a cutscene that they can’t do during gameplay
12.
Crazy leaps in difficulty. My options for Civ 6 are currently beat the game with little to no difficulty or move to the next level where I am in last place for every category the entire game while barely fending off barbarians who have units twice as advanced as me
13.
When my late-game God-mode character who can kill anyone and everyone in the game randomly gets snuck up on and dropped by one punch in a cut-scene, putting me in the villain's clutches
14.
Lag
15.
When it’s a team game and the team doesn’t work together. What’s the point, then??
16.
When an NPC you need to follow is faster than your walking speed but slower than your running speed. Just make the NPC have an adjustable speed to what the player is doing. If they have important information they need to tell the player, add a small cutscene at the end giving the player the download
17.
How sh*t I am
18.
When stuff is cut out of the game to be sold back as microtransactions. I can tell what should've been part of the base game, you jerks.
19.
Binary moral choice system:

Option A: donate to the poor

Option B: eat babies
20.
Feline interference
21.
Getting stunned constantly
22.
Cutscenes that cannot be paused.
23.
When your character says something different than what you meant with the chosen dialogue option.
24.
That didn't hit me that's bullsh*t
25.
3D games where you can’t tell where you will land after a jump.
