i agree with mecha monkey on his #2 point and...

katamari dlc on the xbox, when the info is already on the fucking disk

What offends me:

Gamers being treated by like they are stupid, by Sony, Nintendo etc.

Bad game design, awful controls, and over priced games.

The kidnapped girl syndrome of Mario games etc, is a poor excuse for plot armour, one which even Nintendo abuse. But then I forget that there isn't much feminism in japan, like other nations.

The attitude to import games that the industry usually has (though that's changed for the positive somewhat).

Changing names in japanese traslated games to western ones. We know they are from japan, so do the material justice.

Poor choice of naming characters in general, especially in some western games.

Some DLC prices and content and some Live features (like having to pay 800 points to adjust you gamertag name). Be reasonable, MS.

Lack of Nintendo Wii hard drive, and general Nintendo stubborn and aloofness to the option.

Lack of PS3 BC and Sony's poor arse excuse for ditching something so simple, that they promised and bailed on, but the competition still offers.

that's all from me...lol

I'm usually offended by the price of a new game. Then I get over it pretty quick and make my purchase. Other than that, no offending here.

i spend too much time on the internet to get offended by anything anymore. after you've seen a solider throw a puppy off a cliff, a terrorist behead a reporter, and a woman eating her own shit, even manhunt seems tame.

I find escort missions extremely offensive.
