    It is not necessarily annoyance but I would heavily criticize some companies for certain decisions.

    - LucasArts for not providing a refined control scheme in the KotOR series. Some may recall a very old thread I made here regarding the use of a Jedi Knight-like scheme in the series. It would bring forth a splendid RPG that eliminates the dull battles.

    - R* for constantly milking their cash cows (mainly GTA) with as little effort as possible in significant improvement. Their stories, styles, actors, overall presentation qualities are good, however. It is simply becoming more boring and "too much of the same", so I would probably not play GTA unless I am really bored and I have received it for free. There is, however, a slight probability I would like the new GTA (specially considering I have not played any GTA in a long time).

    - Electronic Arts. Especially their sports games are a nuisance for they are hardly anything special.

    KOTOR's controls were designed for a controller. Handles like a dream on the Xbox.

    (
    Hmmmm. Perhaps I should have been clearer. The problem I wished to refer to lies more in the gameplay of battles. KotOR's battles are more static than dynamic, while Jedi Knight's vice versa which is what makes its battles so great and intense. (One actually has "proper control.")

    JK's battle nature + KotOR's RPG nature --> beautitul powerful combination

    Jedi Knight series was also released on Xbox and the battles were the same as the PC's and its nature was dynamic as on the PC, therefore its control scheme and battle nature should be possible and applicable even if KotOR is originally for the Xbox.

    The same should apply to The Force Unleashed (which must be released for PC too).

    I recall a SW: TFU clip whose game content -- display of foes being engaged by Jedi -- appeared very dynamic. It would minimally suggest TFU to have some sort of dynamic nature (and quite possibly dynamic battle controls), but I know little of this new game. There isn't much detailed information available (I think).
    )


    Another company I would heavily criticize is SEGA mainly for their past inability to effectively engage Nintendo and other console companies. They were somehow outmaneuvered by them which is a pity.

    Furthermore I would criticize SEGA regarding M2TW.

    I've always been mad at LucasArts, they were charging $30 for really old games... until they stopped selling them completely.

    Also, no new Tie Fighter.

    Used to be EA which has in my view committed many great crimes against humanity and other grand atrocities against customers and employees alike.

    However, EA now has challengers to the Throne of the worst of the worst because of other companies who - unbeknowst to the consumer who buys their product - are gulity infesting their games with Starforce; which in my view is malware.

    Offenders of this kind include such vile companies like Ubisoft, Codemasters, CDV, The Adventure Company and many others.

    Bethesda: For ultimately dealing the death knell to Fallout fans.

    LucasArts: For not giving us a sequel or a remake of TIE Fighter in recent years (and no, Jedi Starfighter doesn't count).

    Rockstar: For being bullied by the MSRP, Sony, and Nintendo. They should leave Manhunt 2 the way it is (AO rating)and release it as an online order only, the way Singles was, and pimp the heck out of it on commercials.

    Nintendo: For releasing even more tech demos for the Wiimote instead of actual games.

    Sony: PS3. I don't think there needs to be anything more to be said. Blu-Ray? No-Way.

    Eidos: For making YET ANOTHER Lara Croft game instead of extending the gametime of the supremely-better Battlestations: Midway.

    I don't know, if a company makes a bad game I can save money, so I don't know why I should be annoyed.
