Go ahead complain about everything that bugs you about the video game hobby. New, and old.
For me:
- Load Times. I guess it will no longer be an issue with the current systems, but with the PS4, and Xbox One, some games (like 'Control' for example) there was a load time of over 4 minutes from menu screen to play time. That was unacceptable, a deal breaker on any many games I played, and the reason I only tried them once. I used to think a 2 minute load time on the Sega CD was terrible.
-Loooong wait time between sequels. Holy shit I thought a 5 year wait between GTA 4, and 5 was awful. Well 5 was released in 2013. Yup, and not even the slightest mention of when 6 will come out. Some say 2024 at the earliest. I mean 11 years is cool right? Oh, and the Elder Scrolls.
-Quick time Events. Hated them when introduced, and still hate them today. Widespread, and in nearly every action game I play.
-Permadeath. Not a fan at all. I like to complete games, and I admit playing a game where you die permanently gets you much better at it fast, I still hate starting from the beginning every time I die. Sad because one of my favorite games until I got frustrated, and gave up had this. Lookin at you 'Strafe'!
