1. Cut scenes you can't skip. Fair enough, mayber make them mandatory first time round for the sake of the story etc, but not for every consecutive play through.
2. Un-customisable controls. Come on, how hard can it be to let users change buttons if they want?
3. The still pre-dominance of 3D graphics. To me HD can give us the opportunity to have truly beautiful 2D graphics at a resolution that looks good and rules out pixelisation. Artists can perhaps finally realise 2D graphics as they'd visualised and the machines can easily handle it (I hope). Again, although this isn't necessarily a problem of this gen and goes back to the PS1 and probably the Saturn's commercial failure, but I can't understand why 3D is so special all of the time to game buying public. Maybe it's just me.
4. My DC lightgun not working with my newer LCD TV. Bah, humbug, grrrr. I suppose I mean the seemingly redundancy of older tech but I guess you can't stop progress.
5. As a RRoD victim, I'd probably mention the reliability of consoles. These things really should be tested more thoroughly before making it out to the shops.
^ the zero to no none reliability of the new consoles is kind of what got me my PS3 and Xbox 360 (I bought both for cheap cause they were broken :thumbup: haha)
But yeah, having something you know is going to fail someday is not good at all
What I really hate about games this gen is that developers tend to focus a lot on the graphics and they care very little for gameplay, when It totally should be the other way around.
Older games were all about gameplay and being fun to play, if you could add nice story and graphics they became awesome
add remakes to my listQuote:

The games today focus too much on 3-D graphics and using cinematics. All of these points have already been stated, but I miss side scrolling games like Castlevania and Metroid. Remember Symphony of the Night? It did so well as a 2-D game released on a mostly 3-D platform yet the big companies ignore things like this and have tried to make every game 3-D. It seems like they just want the game to look good, and don't care if it's actually fun or not. :(
I'm not saying that 3-D games are bad, because some of them are actually quite fun. However some series should remain in a 2-D mode, or perhaps a limited 3-D ("Threads of Fate" comes to mind). Metroid should not be a first person game. (my opinion of course). Also games don't need to be ruined by long cut scenes and cinematics that you can't skip. I don't want to watch something load every two minutes, I want to run around and kill things damn it!
errm yeah anyone the difficulty of games . games these days are too easy i remember playing alex kidd in the enchanted castle on sega megadrive one of the hardest games ive played haha and its so rewarding when you complete it just seems these days the challenege is lost in all video games and companies just care about profit from online gaming and add on packs. there isnt a game on ps3 or psp that couldnt be completed in a day .
sorry my English,
what i don't like about video games this days is that they cost around 65€ and i will finish the game in one day or two, but the worth thing is that i won’t play it any more, in the old games you could finish the game but programmers added some extras that would make the game play completely new, the games whore more fun,
nowadays the games are just cinematic movies that we press some buttons and we finish the game.
for me games are about levels, games with a lot of levels, missions,, games are meant for entertain, but the price is to high for a couple of hours.
about the 2d 3d, i have games that i like in 2d sonic was better, super mario was fun, and the 3d version for n64 was also nice,(i preferred the 2d).
I just think that all the companies are trying to make a great interactive blockbuster movie, rather then entertain the players,
i hate the loading times, you enter in the wrong door loading time, you come back loading time, and you enter the other and loading time, is like 10s of play and 1 half minute of loadings.
