We’ve all got them, gaming pet-peeves. Maybe it’s the unskippable cutscene, or the poorly placed checkpoint that means you’ve got to sit through the aforementioned cutscene once again. Maybe it’s the end-game boss with a surprise second health-bar, or the random difficulty spike that doesn’t feel fair.
What’s on your videogame sh*t list?
A lot of the ones in this thread cover mine, but here’s the one no-one has mentioned yet:
No subtitles.
Fuck this. I usually play a game and watch a show or movie. I need to be able to read the lore. Making me whack up the volume because you’re too lazy to add subtitles is beyond infuriating.
It’s also fucking disrespectful. I have some hearing problems, without subtitles I quite literally don’t enjoy the game, because I miss a lot of dialogue (not like half, but I’d say around 5-10%, which might not seem like a lot, but it truly sucks).
