My top 10 pet peeves in games:
10) I hate time limits (specifically the ones that give you like 30 seconds to complete something...Majora's Mask didn't
   bother me as much)
9) I hate stealth missions (James Bond games suck now because of the levels with the no-kill policy)
8) Non-related missions (Missions that you have to do that has nothing to do with the outcome of the game)
7) Slow games (Not really a problem anymore)
6) Playstation and X-Box games (Yes, including Halo for X-Box and Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy for PS2)
5) Games with too many button to pay attention to (I think Red Faction for PS2 was the game that really ticked me off
   about this for the first time back in 2000)
4) Easy games (Don't make me pay $50 for a game I can beat the same day...Yoshi's Story...)
3) Slow loading times...get with the times (I especially target PS2 and the game Turok)
2) Long, boring cut scenes (In Chrystal Chronicles...possible spoiler...that very last boss in the game after you get the
   like neutral element, you know, that boss.  Well, his 3rd or 4th form where he sucks up your family, I've died on him
   maybe 2 times, but I spent about a fricken' hour in a half watching the cut scene before it.  Also, the lame  Lord  
   of the Rings games make you watch long parts of the movies again before every level.  If you die, you have to
   watch it again.  They didn't even bother letting you skip the scenes.  Waste of time)
1) Games that think they are funny, but are stupid (I really hate lame humor like Blue Collar TV.  It's stupid.  I think
   of these games like this one that is based off of an Adult Swim on Cartoon Network show with a dancing meatball.
   What the heck?  I also thought Veutiful? Joe was stupid.  I hate lame humor)

Hm, what I hate are unclear rules. Especially if there is a rule that when you trigger it causes you to lose the game. Stealth games with their rules on "being detected" fall into this category. Especially if you didn't even know that guard was there when it saw you. I hate ot knwing what exactly I'm allowed to do and what not.

I disagree with whoever said easy games. Easy games can be very fun and I enjoy playing through them more than once.

GASP.  If you don't like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, you have no soul.

Arise chicken... arise.

Also, I think you entirely missed the point of Viewtiful Joe, It's a game centered around a movie / being in a movie, the cheesy lines / comedy were intentional. Also, you spoke ill of Yoshi's Story, so I hate you
OUT OF DATE.

I hate puzzles in some games that whatever is required of you to do to solve it is easy to stuff up, resulting in you having to try it multiple times to get it right, even if you know how to solve it.  That is frustrating.

I hate bamafododads peroid.  I usually hate mini games that center arround button mashing, cheesy beam of death where if you touch it you die such and such.

Oh, and I hate characters that disagree with me. I say, Squall should just decapitate Seifer immediately after defeating him, but Squall thinks he should let the idiot go. Grrrrr. If this was Fallout I'd have shot him in the face.
