Every game that I play, they have to include one feature that just drives me up the wall, it’s the ‘annoy me’ feature of the game…
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
·Women Drivers in GTA:
This is the biggest annoyance that I have ever come across, ever! How many times have I been driving along with 3 police cars chasing me only to have a bloody woman driver just mindlessly pull out in front of me? I don’t know! I’ve lost count, it happens so often!
What ever happened to ‘mirror, signal, manoeuvre’ that I was told on my driving lessons? I learnt all this but it seems that all the women in this game don’t seem to bother with it!
“Lets see… Mirror, sod it, lets just randomly pull across the road without looking…. Weeeeeee!”
They should be banned from the roads! If they’re not going to bother to drive properly, then they shouldn’t be allowed in the game!
Bloody women…
·Those indestructible bosses in FPS:
He we go, another great annoyance in games, that damn boss that doesn’t want to die no matter how many times you shoot them in the head!
Why do they do it? What fun do the developers get from making a boss that is really easy to shoot but is just impossible to actually kill? Can’t they just add a bit more to the level and the area to make it more fun to play instead of just having a bloke sitting there with his rocket launcher and whenever you place a shotgun to the back of his head and shoot him, he just gets up and blows you to bits!
If there’s something that annoys me even more than stupidly indestructible bosses, it’s the damn bosses that take absolutely ages to kill and once you get them down to 1% health, they have the cheek to go and recharge their health and there’s nothing you can do about it!
Mega-Mega Man out of South Park N64, I despise you…
·The commentary on football games:
This isn’t like the others, it doesn’t annoy me because it prevents you from playing the game properly, it just drives me up the wall!
“Oh it’s a great shot!” He says as I take a throw on…
“It’s a penalty!” He shouts and the attacking player does a double footed tackle on the defender…
“Offside!” He shouts as I finish a perfectly timed piece of football by scoring a great goal…
“OK Bob, what do you think about the match?”
“Well Jim, England are winning 1-0 against Germany and unless Germany can score another goal, they’re gonna lose.”
“Thanks for that Ji…Oh he’s hit the post!”
·This is it, the most widespread annoying feature to be included on a game:
"The cheating computer"
I’ve got really, really annoyed in the past because of games that insist on cheating! MarioKart being one of the major offenders…
I’ll be sitting there after taking a shortcut on the most boring and tedious levels ever known to man with only a short stretch between me and the finish. The computer players are miles behind and it’s just an easy drive to get to the finish line and take the gold cup to complete the game…
“He we go,” I think to myself as I’m just about to cross the line but suddenly and out of the blue Mario bloody drives straight past me and takes the win…
“How the hell did he manage that?!?” I think as I throw the controller at the screen. From miles behind he’s just managed to catch me up and win! It just drives me crazy, not only does this happen once every few races, but every bloody race!
That other game, Worms…
“Oh look, I’ll just fire my perfectly aimed rocket and get a direct hit on your player! While I’m there I may as well set off a few chain reactions to kill every opponent on the map!”
Arrrrrrrrgh!
It’s all just doing my head in!
P.S It's just a joke if you get offended!

Footie games cheat!!
*hint* FIFA 2003 *hint*
*ahem*
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww
As for the footie games, FIFA 2003 has its fair share of comedy quotes.
"His teammates love it when he lobs it in their direction"
"That's an easy one for the defenders" as I dribble it past them and score.
"They made history last season by winning the league and cup double". Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't United and Arsenal both achieve this? Therefore, it's not really history. I guess it's club history.
Women drivers, not just bad in games also bad in the real world!
And don't get me started on commentary in football games!
What did you think Trevor?
Well it was a good game however didn't get to see many goals did we? (Um it was 2-1 that's quite a few goals)
And what did you think about that Trevor? Tell us something we already know!
We didn't get to see any goals! Lets praise the defence though since the score was 0-0 even though they had 20 shots on goal.
Thanks Trevor.
No problem thank you very much!
I go and perform an amazing shot from outside the penalty area only for it to hit the crossbar and bounce out. "goodness me he should have got that in.."
And then there's.... (etc)
Just found this one while playing ISS2...
Those damn glitches in the game that make things really unfair!
I was sitting there playing and I had a shot which hit the post...
It hit the post and got stuck in the post and no matter how much I tried it wouldn't come out of it, then the defender got the ball and played it up the pitch to his striker who then scored!
I've scored through the post before which was fun and I've also scored by hitting it wide!
I also like the way that if you slide in and break the persons leg AFTER they have passed the ball, it's perfectly legal!
"He slides in" Tony Gubba shouts as I cross the ball in.
And
"That's got to be a penalty!" as I tackle a player fairly in my own half.
