ThisTroper hates the builder in {{Lemmings}}. It's so hard to position the builder accurately.

This troper really hates it when, in some [=RPG=]s, it's an automatic game over if the party leader dies before everybody else (VideoGame/PaperMario and FinalFantasyXIII being notable examples). There's absolutely no reason why my party can't keep fighting should Mario or Lightning die.

This troper avoids games that have this little mechanic.

Given that Paper Mario only allows you to have Mario and one partner out at a time, it's not that bad.
#111902
Also, Mario's partner didn't have a health meter in the first game. Most attacks went straight at Mario, and the few that hit your partner would stun them for a number of turns equal to the amount of damage done. There weren't usually any attacks like this that did greater than 3 damage, however.

This Troper hates the Tap-To-Click function with a burning passion. Recently, my laptop was rendered unable to disable Tap-To-Fucking-Click. I very nearly threw away a $1.5k computer. Thankfully, Tap-To-Goddamn-Click has been eradicated from my computer.
#111904
Random battles. I will never play a game again with random battles.
#111905
Anyone else hate double battles in ''Pokémon''? Maybe it's to do with the fact that the console variations of the games relentlessly push double battles, or maybe it's to do with the recent leak that there are going to be ''triple'' battles in ''Black'' and ''White''. I just think that Game Freak is overusing a mechanic that nearly every player I've spoken to dislikes, or at least disavows in favour of traditional, one-on-one single battles.

It's a PlayerPreferredPattern in America. In Japan they're welcome.

I was playing Mario Party 2 with my sister for fun recently. Both of us had three or four stars, and the computer players had zero or one. One of the computers, Luigi I believe, hits Chance Time and forces me to trade my star count with one of the computer opponents. It was within the last few turns as well.

ThisTroper absolutely ''hates'' grading on a curve.
#111909
[=RapidShare=]. Just...[=RapidShare=]. Because I totally love that mandatory 15-minute wait between files, ''especially'' when I'm trying to download .rar files with at least 4-5 parts.
#111910
This troper hates the card system in KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories with a burning passion. To the point where he doesn't carry much faith in a handheld KH game until he's assured that there's no card system.
#111911
This troper has yet to meet someone who would disagree with the above statement.
#111912
Star Balls in the SuperMarioGalaxy games. Slightly awkward control with the Wiimote that makes it too easy to fall off the stage. I especially learn to hate the levels with no save points. Luckily, most of them are not necessary to get farther in the game.
#111913
Also, in the original, you were forced to go back to the ''intro screen'' when you died, instead of just going back to TheHub. Luckily, they fixed this in the sequel.
#111914
This Troper absolutely ''HATED'' the Kinstone system in Minish Cap, to the point where he considers the game itself, despite being a good game, to be a game that must be avoided.
#111915
I HATE the adoption system on the campaign mode in Zoo Tycoon 2!
#111916
This troper's laptop has one of those touch pads where you can zoom in or out by sliding both fingers opposite directions. The problem is, ''you can't turn the freaking thing off.'' The only time I've ever actually activated this ''on purpose'' was when trying to get things back to normal after activating it by accident.
#111917
The one thing that irritates me about the original SegaGenesis ''Sonic'' games is that when Sonic is ascending a hill without a running start, he just goes up at a frustratingly slow pace. I really hate having to backtrack and get a running start to get up a hill.
#111918
This troper couldn't for the life of him finish TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks because of damned spirit flute mechanics, after trying for half an hour straight at the one before the sand temple, I gave up completely and watched the endgame online.
