Things that you will NEVER include in your game, or hope to never see in another's.

Any time I'm playing a game and I feel like my personal skill level doesn't really matter, that pretty much ruins it for me right there. I like challenging games, but not when it becomes a matter of trial and error. This happens in a lot of games when you select a high difficulty setting. I like playing on hard mode, or very hard mode, or even holy-shit-this-is-hard mode as long as it doesn't feel "cheap." . Like in the MGS series, there's an enormous difference between easy and hard. But it's not just how much HP the enemies have, or the abundence of health items and ammo that changes, it also makes the AI "smarter." I don't mind dying a few times if I can say "oh okay, you got me fair n square" I just hate when I die a few times and I feel like I got screwed over. I recently played Bioshock for the first time, and I selected hard mode from the begninning because I kick ass at FPS games. I played for like 45 mins or an hour and I thought "This game sucks, I quit." But then I tried it on normal mode, and then I actually had ammo and stuff and I thought "Well this games okay, I guess"
So I guess that's one of my major peeves. I expect hard mode to be hard, sure.. But if it's just artificially difficult they should call it frustrating mode.

Or survivor mode, cause you get less of everything and more of enemies.
