Sadly, it's hard to do when you want preserve ammo because you lost alot from a huge horde of varying zombies 2 minutes ago.

...That doesn't sound like replay value at all. It sounds like you just repeat the same level, not actually replaying in the definition of Replay Value (which is completing the game more than once, not including full 100%). Otherwise, beating up the same enemies over and over in an RPG to grind XP could be considered replay value, but that isn't true.

Oh come on, that's just adorable!
Also, I guess I'm tired of scenes that make you feel like you're cruel. I never could bring myself to hurt one of them in game.

Those scenes never really made me feel bad. In fact, it felt good.

Between that and Alma, I can see why Zap can't stand it.

I agree with the comments on linearity.
Few other things I hate, invisible walls and loading before and after everything.
That's why I love games like Jak and Daxster (the first one, before they added guns). The game starts, you can walk anywhere and never have to stop to wait for the game to load. Best of all, invisible walls are practically nonexistent.

I also hate the "You died but you get to retry without really losing something durr hurr" mechanic.
I liked how when you are on your last life, you actually pay attention to your surroundings more and you use caution, praying that you dont have to restart the level. Games now just take that feeling away by filling their characters with all sorts of gaming steriods.
A great example would be if you got hit by a big laser attack. Laser beam attacks are supposed to hurt like hell, not barely dent your life bar.
So anyways, thats just me.

Yeah. Its World at war world at world at war, it's driving me nuts.
Now, for my say
Impossible bosses
What I mean?
Take Ikaruga for example, the mothership fires all over the screen
Also, people find Super Mario Brothers impossible on the boss without realising theres an axe behind Bowser
Igniz in King of Fighters 2001 aswell, he throws his coat everywhere.
I know its a final boss but they could at least put in a much easier way of winning these, couldn't they?

Another thing I am tired of seeing, or actually hearing, the "silent" protaganist that can still respond to people. Would it kill people to give the character a just few lines of dialogue so they don't seem like a mute person capable of giving more than yes or no answers for some unkown reason?
The only exception is Gordon Freeman from Half-Life because people actually acknowledge the fact he doesn't speak.

Actually, I thought it was implied in the game that he does speak. I remember one part where some guy says, "Oh, sorry. I didn't hear you." and another moment where he asks you a yes or no question and he takes your response without any problem.

I know what you mean. I'm still waiting for Nintendo to give Link a voice. I'm sure they haven't done it yet because they want to avoid taking away the players' ability to name the character, but they don't have to let the name come up in conversation. It's not that hard, really. It's been done.
I like Pokemon Blue and Red, though. I remember when your character goes on the S.S. Anne, one of the waiters something like: "...Ah. I see you're le strong silent type."
Speaking of Pokemon... There's a few things about those games that have been getting on my nerves lately. In all these years, all Game Freak has been able to accomplish is making it increasingly more difficult to fill up one's Pokedex. Their games really haven't improved all the much, aside from the gimmicks that don't have much to do with actual gameplay.
I'd like a Pokemon game with options. I'd like to be able to design my own character, and to be able to make choices in the games that allow for a more flexible storyline and increased player individuality.

Let me tell you something, hard games: good. Games that are done in a day: bad

I thought the basis of Half Life was that they joked about the fact that he never talked with lines like that.
That, and boxes.

I can beat the original Sonic the Hedgehog in under an hour. Sonic 3 & Knuckles in about 2.
The problem isn't legevity but rather the replay value. If a game isn't fun, why would you want to play it again?

Going back to roots. Yeah, I said it. Seriously, I'm all up for nostalgia as everyone else, sure. But what's the point? SEGA and Nintendo are "Going back to their roots" probably because they ran out of creative things?
This is highly unlikely, but I would prefer to see something more original than returning to something already done ages ago.
Also, world maps. Pssshht

Anybody notice the really boring repetitive gameplay in Dante's Inferno? *hint*hint*.
guns. seriously it seems that the only way to get attention to a game is putting guns in it these days.
agreed on gimmick controls and going back to roots. nsmb focused on it too much... like the level end flag *hint: "new".
And sega is making the new sega like that because sonic games gone way downhill and get so much crap, they have no choice.
