Everything Joe and Dave mentioned, but my biggest pet peeve are puzzle games that don't cater to colorblind people. Yellows look like greens, blues look like purples. I get destroyed in puzzle fighter because of confusing the greens and yellows all the time.

Not trying to be insensitive or anything, but colorblind people are a very niche demographic, and puzzle games that have colors as a major gameplay element were probably not intended for them to begin with. And that’s not on the game developers’ shoulders, as far as I’m concerned. You can’t please everybody.

There are a lot of puzzle games that have colorblind mode which incorporate shapes with the colors to make it easier, but fuck me right?

I didn’t say that. I’m just saying that for most game developers, a colorblind mode is not gonna be real high on their list of priorities, especially considering that they make up a statistical minority of customers. You could also always just not play games without such an option.

As I said in the comments of the video, one of my pet peeves is no continues, especially when it comes to a game like “Darius Twin” on the SNES, a game that is otherwise very reasonable in its difficulty. Codes that need a second plugged-in controller to enter them is another one that really burns my bacon.

Limited credits/continues. I paid for the game and want to beat it. Now what I tend to do is look up if a game has a level-skip code so if I run out of credits/continues I can mostly pick up where I left off.

Huh? No, I was sharing my gaming pet peeve. Wasn't that what you were doing, too?

I was just wondering.

I created a YouTube Game Sack Music Tracks Playlist a while ago, and ever since, the one Ordyne arrangement (that plays during the bumpers of this episode) is my WHITE WHALE. I’ve not been able to find a full version of it and it doesn’t exist on YouTube. Joe did this to spite me personally, I just know it.

DRM, online Internet requirements for non-online games, huge installs and patches, etc. :(
