The Weekend Debate – What Grinds Your Gears?

If there’s one concept that has blossomed since the spread of the Internet it’s the rant. For every thought or idea published on the web there’s a hundred livid responses; it seems that we like nothing more, as a species, than getting something off our chests.

With that in mind:

Is there anything about modern games that really annoys you?

For me, it’s people quitting when I go two-nil up on FIFA. And doors. I’ve lost count of how many doors I’ve been unable to open in all of the games that I’ve played. These are capable characters, with superhuman abilities in some cases, but they can’t open simple, interior doors. The worst are when you can open some doors but, get to another, identical door, you stand there running on the spot. And that’s another thing – if I run at a wall, I hit it and fall to the ground; I can’t defy inertia and start dancing the Running Man. And don’t even get me started on steps and ledges that are impossible to climb despite being just above my knees.

The 15 best comments as decided by our independent judge will receive a voucher code to download the HD Classics versions of God of War and God of War II to help vent that Spartan rage. We’ll send the codes via private message on the official PlayStation forums as usual; just bear in mind that, if you’ve never been to our forums, you’ll need to log on once with your PSN ID to enable private messaging.

Unleash the fury (but keep it polite)!
