Frustrating things in a video game?

[topper1]

Is there anything in a video game that you get frustrated about if it happens, and if so, what is it?

The two most frustrating things for me is unresponsive controls and low framrates.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Unresponsive Controls (which is rare) and constantly losing. It's sort of annoying if you lose something big, because you usually have to re-do the whole thing again.

Seemingly impossible tasks which gets on my nerves
Bad controls which gets on my nerves
Low framerates which clogs the game up
Clipping errors which shouldn't be in the game since it's on a newer system (Wii, XBox360, PS3)

Low Framerates are annoying, horrible controls are also quite annoying...

Low framerate is annoying

Also I hate when I cannot beat an event, it annoys the crap out of me

Unresponsive / bad controls are pretty much unacceptable in games nowadays. If there is faulty controls, it ruins a game anyway because the game will feel like it's out of your hands.
Poor framerate can also be annoying.

Like VIP said, I hate unresponsive controls and constantly losing.  They're annoying, especially when there's like an important/huge event and those things f*** up, causing you to start all the way at the beginning.

I hate Sound Problems and getting stuck. Getting stuck is only annoying when the sound problems give you a headache. unresponsive controls are also frustrating.

When it tells you to try to do the impossible, or bad camera.

Unresponsive controls, and low framerates. If I could pick a third, I would pick constantly losing, especially if you have to go back really far, or watch a long cutscene over and over (Kingdom Hearts Riku fight.. ;~

I really hate unresponsive controls and low framerates. I also hate having impossible to beat things like having bosses that use 1 hit KOs in RPGs that will give you an immediate game over....

In Zelda Phantom Hourglass, the game wouldn't register the stupid figure 8 at the final boss. I needed my  cousin to do it.
I traded it for Pokemon White.

I couldn't draw the triforce in that game. It took a lot longer than it should've.

I hate when a game is too straightforward or way too hard.

 

[AegisReflector]

The generic excuse of low framerate. And hackers. Only reason why I don't play online that much.

I actually laugh at myself when I die. Especially when there's like a funny death scene (like Crash Bandicoot).

When I was little I always got frustrated over not knowing where to go and what to do in video games(i remember when i thought i could never pass Chapter 4 in Paper Mario, i thought i was stuck forever, and i never used the internet for help back then either, after all, i didn't care for the internet at all until like 2007).

Constantly losing was another issue. I guess I wasn't that great in video games back then...

But now that stuff doesn't happen quite so often anymore.

Sh*t controls and a terrible camera are my main gripes with games.
