What's your pet peeve of each generation

Wonder who is going to pick it up. I think if Nintendo themselves get it, that would certainly help sell their systems with exclusive games. As long as they dont censor them all.
haloofthesun:
Given that Nintendo donated money to Atlus' parent company recently and the very good relationship they have, and the fact that Etrian Odyssey: Millennium Girl and SMT X Fire Emblem are both being released in the "near" future, and the fact that Atlus says that them being sold isn't going to do anything to keep those games being made and being released as Nintendo exclusives, it seems Nintendo is far and away the most likely buyer. Other than that it will probably be a third party company. A lot of people are saying they think it will be Sony, but that seems like more wishful thinking than anything.

Looking back, I don't have any huge, lingering gripes about past generations, other than disliking the N64 controller so much that it put me off Nintendo entirely for several years.
As for the current gen...
- Overreliance on stupid gimmicks.
- The non-stop circle-jerk over innovation.
- So-called "art games" and everyone associated with them.
- Launch DLC, overpriced DLC, excessive amounts of DLC, pre-order exclusive DLC... you get the idea.
- $59.99+ for new games... and they wonder why sales aren't higher during those crucial opening weeks???
- Oversaturation of the market. The "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" approach is doing lasting damage.
- PSN/XBLA-only games, especially in cases where Asia and Japan *did* receive a physical release.
- Microsoft's nickel and diming the living shit out of people, and massively overcharging for things like hard drive upgrades and USB ethernet adapters.
- Blind brand allegiance. As if Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo give a fuck about your adoration?
- Yearly sequels. I'd rather drop a series entirely than be treated like an ATM by corporate goons.
Unfortunately, I suspect that as time goes on, the douchebros and corporate execs have killed all that was once good. This coming gen looks good, but Microsoft in particular gave us a glimpse of things to come, and I am not optimistic about what I saw.

Its about time someone else mentions this. I thought I was the only person alive who hated crap like Journey and Flower.
