In 3D games, when the camera has a mind of its own and does whatever it wants (i'm looking at you Gex 64) and causes sever motion sickness.

Yeah now that I think about it that camera was..."loose". I really do remember having to move it around a lot.

An example would be the debug mode in shadows of the empire, i literally have to use my chin to pull it off: http://www.gamewinners.com/n64/StarWarsShadowsOfTheEmpire.htm I've been playing some N64 lately, can you tell?

Oh man...memoriez™

Fond yet frustrating memoriez™

I had to use my nose or my tongue I forgot what I used. The "halfway to the left, halfway to the right" part of it is what really screwed with my patience though. Ugh...

I hate games where you put your initals in with your high score but going from letter to letter takes years.

Hence I never made an effort to put in my initials, however the primary pre-conceived reason was that I was rather apathetic regarding a high score unless it had something to do with unlocking a secret.

My high score lists were typically dominated with AAA.

Anyway, things I hate about games?

This is not a complaint(as in I approve of it's existence), but bottomless pits have almost always been more of a nightmare to me than enemies in platformers.

And one thing that sometimes frustrates me is a really well made and fun game that is somewhat irritating in one aspect by cheesiness, that was otherwise not camped up enough.

Star Fox 64, for example...

Oh, and Water Temple in Ocarina of Time...

The most nightmarish example of a non-linear level I've ever seen. I swear, even after I beat my first play through of O.O.T., I still would get stuck there, and theres never been a play through that I didn't. I would have to consult the internet every time.

I'm assuming everyones talking about the one key in the Water Temple no one could find but it was right under the platform that rises up with the water the first time. What's funny about that is there's a cutscene (if you want to call it that) that shows that platform next to the spikes rising up. As if the game is saying "Hey asshole! Did you try looking down here?" Man whenever I replay the Water Temple in OOT, I get that fucking key as soon as possible. Almost on reflex.

No I don't think thats it. It's kinda the level in general, but I remember one part thats about mmm I estimate 3/4ths through the level where I am utterly confused as to where to go. Perhaps 2/3rds through, I don't know. Like mentioned it's so non-linear that it's hard to remember.
