 Bullshit That Ruins Games:
 
 1. Unskippable cut scenes that repeat every time you die.

				How about those annoying chasing parts? For example, I got tired of having to chase Venom or some random boss in Ultimate Spider-Man (they usually led to kick-ass boss battles, on the bright side).

				--Racing games with time limits between check points (Fuck you, Rad Racer!)
 --Unskippable/unpausable cut scenes

				Sub-games that are long, tedious, interesting for maybe 5 minutes, and are required to get the best stuff (I'm looking at YOU, Square!)
 Endings which do nothing but set up a sequel (again, Square.)
 
 Developing extra side stories for joke characters...Y'know, I think I'll just say "nearly everything Square does".
 
 Oh, and knowing that Hideo Kojima's goal in life is to cause us pain and destroy our minds, yet we still play his games.
