What has annoyed you abut some of the games you have played recently? Blatant AI cheating? Annoying bugs? Shoddy controls?

I'll start it off with 2 little things:


Ridge Racer 6:

Been playing this all weekend for a change and means I've put some serious effort into the game and actually got somewhere - I'm now really enjoying it except for a couple of circuits I suck at :p Then I got mad....

Blatant AI cheating. I selected a series of 'No-Nitrous' Races expecting to blitz through them with ease. Good start and got the first few corners done nicely and then I hear it.

Phwoooooosh 'Someone just let off some nitrous!'

Erm....isn't this a 'No-Nitrous' event I ponder as all the people I had overtaken zoomed past....

Why is it 1 rule for the player and no restrictions to the AI? Just annoying tbh :(


Project Gotham Racing 3

Just a minor bug gripe this one really. Was minding my own business having a bit of a blast when my mate popped round - Yay! 2 player time. A few races later and I suggest a little 'Capture the Track'.

This seems to work well for the both of us as we are fairly evenly matched at racing games. I get the first circuit and my mate wins the second. We start on the third race (Boulevard Straits for those who care) but halfway through my mate recieves a call.

The game got paused while he dealt with it and we got right back to the game. Thirty seconds later I cross a sector split and notice my time for the sector to be 2 mins 38 seconds!! Quickly slide round the hairpin and pause the game again. I asked my mate to check his phone for how long the last call was.

1 min 30 secs he comes back with. Give or take that was the amount of time I was out on my normal time for the sector. Annoyed by this I put it to the test. I finish the lap and note my time is way out again but I take careful note of my 1st sector time.

The next lap I pause the game when I'm in the first sector for 15 secs. As I cross the next sector split and find that my time is out by approx 15 secs :( A rather annoying bug I feel but not game ruining so meh.


Anyhoo I appear to have prattled on long enough! Post your minor (or major) gaming greivances here :D! (Or don't :p)

I really dont think the Ridge Racer 6 one is a bug.. without the AI using nitrous then the race would have been too easy?

They could just drive better :p

this is still only on the basic route as well :(
