Your nitpickiest complaints about a game

I love Wipeout Omega Collection and its VR component makes it one of the best games I played. But, I kinda wish it was faster in its most fastest mode. Or, at least, the sense of speed. Even in Phantom/A+ Class, the crafts still feel a little slow at that speed.
Well, the big issue is that DS:R actually has an issue where the ambient audio will cut out leaving the game in near-silence minus sound effects from what I've seen. The ambient sound design in Dark Souls is fucking amazing but they've managed to botch it over and over on the PC and now managed to do the same on console versions in Remastered and never patched it because well, fuck it, they made their cheap, quick money. Lovely way to honor a modern masterpiece...and yeah, also coming from a sound guy.
I mix albums for fuck's sake, this hurts my soul (no pun intended) in probably my favorite game ever!
Also, I hate notifications like you mentioned as well. It makes me feel like I'm in my Gmail account and have to click just to be left alone.
The towns in Pokémon Sword and Shield. They don't have enough to explore. I want more houses, flats, streets, whatever! The cities in these games honestly look like corridors
Division 2: Most of the character face options are ugly.
This is a massive nitpick because I have my character so gear up you can't even see his face in the first place, just like everyone else.

In Zelda: ALTTP, the programming is very anal about where you try to cut grass bushes. If you're not near perfectly perpendicular to it, then it won't cut. Same thing happens when dashing with Pegasus boots, often leading to unintended crashing.
The Halo books say that once a sword has been drawn it can't be put away until it's tasted blood, and impresses the importance of a sangheli having just one sword.
There's a cinematic in Halo Wars where an elite who's talking to a prophet pulls out two swords because he's angry, the prophet tells him to calm down, and he just puts 'em away like nothing. If that were a Bungie game that elite would've been taken down immediately for even pulling out a weapon near a hierarch.

I don't like the new lighting on the Hyrule Temple map in Smash Ultimate. It looked better to me in the previous games.
they're basically interactive loading screens. Any time you need to move a dumpster, or open a heavy door, or escort Ellie across a river on a pallet, it's just giving you something to do to mask the fact that it's loading in a new area.
Games with shops where purchase each item individually - you should be able to add items to a basket and purchase in one go
Same, I always try another button first and is always disappointed when it works (virtually always)
I'd generalise this to any character design where outfit isn't practical and obviously only chosen to be more revealing. It's just cringy.
I don't like the way Black Ops 4 does its 4. Game sequels aren't tally marks. They're numbers or roman numerals. Tally marks?!
Does changing the system level controls affect the ingame stuff? You may not have this on your console!

Why can't you swing your sword and move at the same time in Skyward Sword. Just running along swinging away at grass was so chill in Twilight Princess. Why the step backwards?
In Astral Chain you can't walk on the road.
I'm a police officer goddamnit let me walk on the road

Slightly laggy menus when opened always really pisses me off nowadays, it's really not that big deal, but it immediately just gets me. I blame Destiny for burning out my patience for it.
Most are for loading. Why they are usually at the start/end of levels.
The root motion on Joker's stop animation is off in Persona 5 . This is used to track movement of an animation as it moves through space , which results in him sliding back into his idle animation instead of it blending together on the spot.
Mario's walk animation in Super Mario Odyssey has also been set too fast (probably by a designer), which means that his feet slide as he moves forward.
Both are great games, but yeah it's nitpicky :P

The Outer Worlds title screen has both "Continue" and a "Load game" as options that you can select, but clicking "Continue" just takes you to load game....
Segments where the game forces you to only be able to slowly walk and disables all others actions just because characters are talking to each other, annoy the hell outta me. I prefer cut-scenes to this.
Eh, I really don't know about that. You have an indefinite time and a minimum time it takes to lift a ladder and get across. It's such an overcompensation with minimal gameplay value and meandering story qualities to use this instead of, say, 10 seconds of forced slow walking or something.
That is what they are though, they've explicitly said that. Not saying they couldn't have been done better, but their purpose is to mask loading in a new area.
The Shadow of the Colossus remake doesn't have cloud shadows unlike the original.
It's the only thing I don't like about the remake though.

The ladder "puzzles" never came across that way, but maybe you're right. I have a feeling though that neither of us have been told by a verifiable source if either fact is true.
Pretty sure you've changed something in the ps4's settings. X is confirm and O is cancel/back in the UI and most games.
When you cannot load a save from any point in the game. Worst, if you have to go to the title screen first. Even more worst, when there is no way to go to the title screen without resetting the console/game.
...maybe that's not a nitpick.

I have a bunch of common complaints like small ass text(I'm looking at you Death Stranding pre-patch), and stuff like menus not wrapping around when you get to the end.
I also really dont like the loud beep sound the PS3/4 makes when you turn it on. I wish there was a way you could turn it off.
In Death Stranding I hate that I have to hit start and skip on every little incidental cutscene(putting a delivery on the mechanism, going up and down the elevator, etc).
Really dont like when a game doesn't have separate audio volume sliders for Music, SFX, and voice.

Yeah, I agree a lot with this. I love clean UI's outside of gaming, but when used in games it just makes them feel boring and a little bit soulless in a way. Nintendo was so good at making charming UI's for their games/OS so it's something that really bothers me on the Switch.
Edit: As for me:
Bowser looks really ugly in Smash Ultimate because of the lighting and that makes me avoid using him. I'm also bothered by BotW Link replacing classic Link and I only play as Young Link now.

In RDR2 when Arthur gets off his horse the rifle will teleport onto his back. Feels out of place when everything else is so meticulously animated.
This reminds me that I don't like how the grapple hook magically unhooks whenever the character wants it to
I pretty much lost all interest in finishing Crash 2 after hearing it makes you find all the optional collectibles in the levels to see the good ending. despite having fun playing the game up to the point I'm at, and despite knowing the endings are like 20 second fmvs I have seen on youtube….. fuck that. I have no interest in finding all the hidden shit, just getting through the levels alive is enough for me, thank you. But why should I clear your game if all you are going to give me is the "you suck" ending.
Playing Cities:Skylines via Xbox Game Pass at the moment and loving it.
My nitpick is that the 'death waves' that occur every so often are pretty stupid. Apparently caused by everyone having the same lifespan, so when you build a large new chunk of residential housing they'll all die at more or less the same time - causing a pile up of dead bodies while your hearses try to collect them all.
Seems like it would make a lot more sense for the ages to be randomised in some way.
(I know there will be ten million different mods to fix this in the PC version)

Honestly I think this isn't that nitpicky and is entirely valid
Ballonlea is the coolest looking section of the entire game and it's only, like, two houses and the gym. It absolutely sucks that there isn't more of it.
The sound Leon makes in RE2MAKE when he is in Caution health state. "You're fine Leon! I'm not wasting my super mixed herb."
Also, a silly nitpick in all the Animal Crossing games, except for the first(and my favorite one) is the perspective change in all the sequels to make it look like the world is "rolling" toward the horizon. I know they did that so you could see the sky, but I hate that effect and prefer the fixed top down perspective in the first game. I wish they would add an option to switch the perspective to classic style.
This is mine too, lol. I also preferred the top down perspective and (probably foolishly) hope for camera angle toggle in NH...
Haha it was totally out of his character to do so. I guess it was to keep his undercover cop status covert. 🤣
Character animations to pick up loot/consumables of any kind really annoy me.
I stopped playing BL3 because of it. For a loot based game with tons of side-quests the menus and map are so atrocious it became an impediment to my enjoyment.
