I totally agree on the driving thing Pooki. Especially when it's thrown in as this kind of extra thing and it's not done well.
I have another annoyance. Minigames. Lockpicking minigames, pickpocketing minigames, any and all minigames. Like the driving they usually feel tacked on and not very well thought out.
Like the hacking minigames on Mass Effect 1...ugh how frustrating!!! Specially the first time you play the game since you have no idea what to do! ugh!
So this isn't really a broad thing but rather specific to one game but...
Ben and I were playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance trying to get some achievements, one being Cyclops talks to Jean Grey (he's a character in your party when you have one specific conversation with her). Ben is kind of bad at this game (really bad actually as much as I hate to say it) and let Cyclops die rather early on in the level the conversation takes place. Whatever I didn't mind I figured there's a save spot so we can revive our party no biggie.
Well there is in fact a save spot to revive your fallen characters that is found on the path to Jean Grey but it's locked until after you talk to her. I don't really get that, it's very annoying getting to her in the first place, with many battles. For what possible reason did they decide to do this, were they all sitting around one day and someone said "you know what would be funny, lets lock that save spot before Jean Grey just for sh**s and giggles" and then someone else said "Oh and lets put out a DLC character who sucks and make sure if he dies in the 15 mins leading up to this part there is no way to bring him back so they have to replay all that".
I mean seriously! What the hell! I guess this falls into the lines of bad save spots but I just don't get it at all. I am sure many people did this without the problems that Ben and I had but honestly there is just no reason for that save spot to be like "oh you need me too bad I'll wait until after the mini boss and the annoying mini game to let you use me". Not to mention that playing on hard this level can take about 15ish mins (less probably for many people) to open that first save spot. Don't force me to keep playing!
i hate it when you die in a game and it plays scene or voice that you cant skip and it just taunts you! it really makes u want to punch the screen sometime lol.

Yeah - that's pretty annoying. Right up there with you die and where they set the checkpoint is right before a big cutscene.
Man I tried to play super meat boy on the PC and it was horrible because I don't have a console style controller. Why port a game to the PC if you're going to assume people use a controller?
"Sandbox" games that force you to take missions on their time. In this case I am speaking of GTAIV. I always have and always will hate the mission *spoilers* towards the start where they take roman
It really bothers me that Rockstar waxes on about total freedom in their games then literally forces you take this mission regardless of if you want to or not. And for that matter I f-ing hate this mission. If you go fast it's nearly impossible but if you take it too slow the enemies start chucking grenades with insane accuracy I might add... All to get to the end it with this insane kill the guy but don't harm Roman but you have bad aim. The first time I played this game I failed this mission about 20 times and I am already up to 8 this time.
It also bothers me that when you fail this mission you are revived with low health and no body armor f you guys
I love my Fallout games but there seriously needs to be a way to completely turn off the cinematic and slow down when you or a companion kills something. I HATE how I will be walking along through the Wasteland minding my own business and all of a sudden I slow to a crawl and I see XP show up because on of my companions killed something a mile away from me. Its so annoying especially if its multiple kills with two companions. I did turn off the slowmo movie part for the kill but it still slows the game down. Ugh. If there is a way to disable this please let me know!
