Annoying things in games 3

Following on from unskippable cutscenes I'm now going to go with unskippable tutorials or pretty much tutorials fullstop.

I know that control pads (for the 360 and PS3 at least) have quite a few buttons on them these days but not that many to warrant me being forced to sit through a god knows how long tutorial explaining what each and every button does. I just want to play the damn game and figure it all out for myself and I should be allowed to do so.

Very annoying.

Annoying things in games 2

Unskippable cutscenes, especially on a second play through.

I've already watched the twelve odd hours of Lord of the Rings thank you very much, therefore I don't need to watch it again when I go to play the game. In todays day and age of gaming would it kill developers to put in a skip option for people who just want to play the game.

Very annoying.

Why...

Do animals in RPG's carry money and potions?

What do they need it for?

Brutal Legend - 360

When you finally find the song you fancy listening to and you car gets blown up.

Very annoying.
