What little things annoy you in games?

What small little issues that usually make almost no difference to the game annoy you slightly, what thing are you picky about.

For me it's:

• Loading screen elevators, Mass Effect 2 was the worst culprit for this, things like this take me out of the experice.
• Decorative vehicles, things like the container ships in GTA, I know there is almost zero appeal in driving them but it is another thing that takes me out of the experice, the decorative aircraft in GTA IV is the worst culprit for things like this.

Glitched trophies / achievements.  Gimme a break.  Put a checkbox next to items 1 - 15;  when all checkboxes are filled, award achievement.  How freakin' difficult can that be?

Just finished Fallout new vegas. While I absoluetly loved the game, the small little bugs and freezing issues annyoyed the heck out of me.

I had the final mission lock up on me 4 times in a row not to mention the numerous times it froze during the middle of the game.

Also there was some audio glitches that would cause me to have to restart the game.

Poor AI in games where you are reliant on it. I am playing through Pikmin 3 right now, and while the game as a whole is quite enjoyable, the pathing issues that the Pikmin suffer from is super frustrating. When I command the Pikmin to do something, and even a child could figure out the best way to go about it, it is irritating to watch them foul up. 

A game with no boss fountains. 

High difficulty level as a result of stupid design. 

Poor voice acting (if the game is under 10 years old).

Collectibles overkill.

Frikkin' collectibles.

these aren't little things, they annoy me alot:

• Bad placement of checkpoints and savepoints.
• Cutscenes or long scripted events or dialogue that cannot be skipped.
• Menus with illogical navigation.
• Having to connect to a server and create a profile before being able to play singleplayer.
• Enemies that don't flinch when they are shot unless you hit them square between the eyes.
• Games with boring stories.
• Games with readables that are not interesting about ordinary things that add nothing to the game.
• Stupid achievements (congratulations, you completed the first mission!)
• Canned side missions throughout the whole map, game.  Wash, rinse, repeat.  (refer to any Ubisoft game especially).
• Games with stealth designed by noobs that haven't a clue what makes a good stealth game. (refer to virtually any game made in the past 10 years)

Qixote

A 'game with stealth' doesn't necessarily mean 'stealth game'. They don't have to be great.

Unskippable cutscenes

Cutscenes that have "skip" in the corner of the screen

Glitched achievements

Inconsistent AI

Unskippable cutscenes are really annoying.

One little thing that really irritates me is "Press Enter to continue." When I'm playing a game my hand is nowhere near the enter key. I don't want to move my hand half way across my keyboard to press a key to start the game. Why does it even have to be a specific key? This is especially annoying if it happens as soon as I boot up the game rather than just taking me straight to the main menu. A great way to make a terrible first impression. I'm looking at you, Crysis. Bonus points if it happens after an unskippable splash screen.

DLC, knowing how far you are through a game (the loading screen saying 70% complete for example), and achievements/trophies. Achievements that spoil the story but aren't made secret are the ones that annoy me the most.
