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.
My friend bought Lollipop Chainsaw the other day and asked me to look up something in the instruction manual. I was terrified to find out it was only a piece of paper with the typical mandatory X360 warnings and such. There wasn't a single piece of info about the game.
My favorite example of a good manual was the original Pokemon Red/Blue manual that included a lot of official art and a bunch of random facts that might be good to know when playing the game.
