Gaming Pet Peeves

[Melirune]

Bare with me, I'm still waking up and have yet to have a coffee.

The lack of anything packaged with the majority of video games now. It really annoys me when I buy a new game and open it up to find a one-page instruction sheet with none of the information that I want.

As an example of what I mean, let's use Mortal Kombat. The original home console port (1993) had an instruction manual that contained some backstory, a short bio of each character and a few moves for each of them as well. Compare this to the new Mortal Kombat (2011) which has none of these things.

There are of course games that still come with decent booklets, but they seem to be few and far in-between.
