So, I'm playing through Gun and F.E.A.R right now, and whilst both are solid games, Gun has brought to my attention my most hated aspect of video games.
This actually reaches back to my days playing Goldeney 007 on the N64, but I've only just realised how many developers have included this task in their games, and managed to make it far more irksome.
I hate protection missions.
You all know, the missions which ask you to protect either: a stationary object whether it's a building, or an object of value, or a vehicle; OR you have to protect a person. Some dim-witted fool, who would rather stray into the line of hellfire and napalm that sit still to live. I like to call it "Natalya Syndrome".
A lot of these games will have you fight battalion after legion after army of enemies who are hell bent on destroying that which you protect, and most of the time the game will have messages flash on screen about, how your protectee is being wasted, when your in the middle of trying to defeat a handful of bad guys that have been giving you grief since you started. Got that gets on my nerves.
Bah. I just hate this type pf gameplay. I've got a few others, but first - what really irks you when it comes to games?
