What ruins a game for you?

I was playing through Star Ocean 3 yesterday, and I remembered why I never play with the volume on. The mood killing music. In my humble opinion game music should fit the mood of the area/scene. And there's no worse musical match for exploring a medieval castle than electric guitars. This really killed the game for me, and I didn't even want to play any further.

So what sort of thing ruins a game for you?

I hate it how Sonic Alternate Colors in Brawl are just Sonic with diffrent tones of blue and diffrent colored shoes and that round thing around his glove. (Even though the darkest tone does look black like shadow but that probally is just a fluke)

Oh well. I will just use Yoshi's grey color and use that to pretend to be Bouncy.

Getting an epic character in an rpg, and then losing him before you get to use him.

Bad controls make me usually not want to play a game. Which is why I didn't like Sonic and the Secret Rings >_>

Horrible, unoriginal storylines, or crappy characters is what ruins most games.

If I fight a boss and hoping it hard and it turns out that he/she is very easy to beat. Man! That really make me frustrated when I have easy boss battles. I like hard boss battles that way I have to try to win.


Like when I was playing Shinobi the other day....I was on the level 3 boss battle and was surviving pretty well. Next thing you know I find out that the more enemies I kill the stronger my attacks get. I ended the battle with 2 hits. 2 HITS! I was surprised yet frustrated.

When its so limited which is a problem with newer games. What happened to the good ol search-for-the-objective-yourself? Why do they always have to guide you through the whole thing?

EDIT: Bad sounds can also ruin the game. For instance a gun that sounds like a quiet "tick tack tick tack" is pretty stupid.

When a game is only contrined on how hard it is. I like hard games don't get me wrong but when it is a crapy background or crapy caracters and the game is really hard that just ticks me off.

There are different of factors to me that lays down my interest of an game.

The controles like in Conan at my old xbox. The controles sucked literally. As there was a small edge, and i had to turn around. That sucked a lot cuz when i tryed to turn him around he had to step forwards and fall down several feet and died. That is some of the worst thing about a game. Sonic games aint that bad in my oppinion as there are games with much worse controles as well.

Another thing is from the Dino Crisis game. I would sure have loved to play that game if it wasn't for the automated camera controles that keeps changing all the time and you won't be able to see your enemies before they smash you out of balance. I mean cool bosses and all that, though my interest fades pretty fast when you have to change your moving direction all the time when the camera supposes it is for the best viev. When instead it sucks. -_-

Third would be music as you mentioned Duckroll. Serious Sam is an exception, though the music ranged from all different types i still enjoyed the game.

Though that is atleast three of my oppinions about things that realy ruins a game quality. :P

Nowadays, just a repetitive Mario game can ruin the whole franchise of Mario for me. But that's just my opinion.

First off, the main thing that makes me mad and ruins games is when people start shouting out spoilers and don't think of anyone cares, but i HATE it when people start shouting spoilers, because then the game is no fun anymore, because I love the story the most. Also, don't get all mad over controls, they just take time ok!
I'm a gamer and always will be a gamer. If you don't believe me. I have 430 Video Games and 19 Consoles.

I doubt you could beat that unless you are a gamer as well! =P

So, let's see if you can outdo "The Jet Gamer"

Games with ridiculously hard difficulty. I can understand when a game is challenging, but when it becomes so frustrating you want to throw your controller, that ruins the whole game for me.

Another reason, when I'm enjoying a great game, just to have it end in record-breaking time. -_- I hate super short games.
