It's cute the first couple of times but not for EVERY! SINGLE! BATTLE!

This reminds me of Kingdom Hearts II and a certain goatman who didn't shut up...

"Get up on the hydra's back!" "Get up on the hydra's back!" "Get up on the hydra's back!" "Get up on the hydra's back!"...

Really annoying.

I think the absolute worst offender in this is...

Wow, even more repetitive than Eggman in Shadow the Hedgehog and one of the worst voice actors I've ever heard in my life.

My brain has melted because of the thought that something this terrible exists in a videogame... yeah, the worst offender by far XD

Its not annoying if you can manage to get that attack performed in order to get Phil to stop telling you that.

Until then...*bangs head on wall*

Actually here is a more notorious one:




And of course the more current one of Skyrim and the Arrow in the Knee:

Has anyone really played OoT resontly? Why is navi counted as an annoying character? It takes like a half hour or more to start giving you hints (not counting the first dungeon) and yet people keep talking like she does it every 2 mins.

Now Slippy. Slippy I agree is annoying.

I think the reason why some gamers consider Navi as 'annoying' is because some people who have played Zelda before can get a good idea what to do. Without having the need to be reminded by Navi.

Slippy on the other hand. Lets just say he's about as dumb as a doorknob that can't even get himself unlocked.

I loved Starfox 64 but yes, Slippy is by far the most annoying character in that game. Made even more so with the one level if you don't do it right can force you to go on a rescue mission to save him on that desert planet with the tank. The tank as well was annoying because the controls were clunky and sometimes caused more complications then alleviated them.

I liked the tank. It was pretty cool. The sub on the other hand was REAAAAAAAAAALLY boring. It's one of the planets I have yet to get a metal on.

Well I personally hated the tank levels. When you are playing a game where you get to fly in a super space jet and shoot things down, the last thing I want is to be grounded and take on some desert skeleton creature while having to choose whether to save the most annoying.....oooooh, maybe that's why I hated the tank. Because I associated it with saving the stupid toad.

Huh, well ain't that a bitch.

Now time to pick on Sonic 06: IT'S NO USE!!!!!


For an added bonus, one of my favorite LP groups shows you how broken this boss can be:

Will you guys stop posting or mentioning 06? Its a delisted game. Nobody wants to know about it

anymore. Just stop with 06 already please!

If its one thing 06 did it made SEGA realize that this is not the way for Sonic to go on.

And yet they want to think that Silver is going to be the next Shadow. It's not going to happen as people really did not like his first game wile people liked Sonic Adventure 2.

Me. I just think he's a Trunks rip off with a really whiny voice. It does not matter if it's 06 or Rivels or the olympic games, he is just annoying to me. You will not make me like him, no matter how many games you put him in and say he's "A better Sonic."

Stop me if you guys heard of this one. Good ideas with bad executions. Some of the time there's always that one game that has a very good premise, but in the end, the game turns out to be total crap. Mario's time machine is an example of this. The idea of Mario going through time sounds promising, but in the end the execution is poorly done.
