Just played through the first Dead Space and it's full of that. "Oh, the door is locked, you say? Strange. Perhaps it will open after I die a hideous death. You never know." It kind of works though. Serves it's purpose but does feel all too convenient and does detract from immersion when the contrivances are obvious.

There were plenty of irks with Doom 3 though:- Lots of backtracking
- Game being too dark to get you to use that flashlight
- Enemies jumping out of secret panels all the time
- Enemies actually manage to be unsatisfying to kill
- Those PDAs having no subtitles. Great game development win this - having to listen to a load of waffle on the off-chance a door/locker code gets mentioned is extremely tedious, plus it immediately eliminates people who are hard of hearing by ensuring they can't progress through the game! (Although maybe that's not such a bad thing...)
- Those bloody lockers being everywhere and usually full of junk you don't need (except if you decide to skip one... then it would have contained something very useful)
And so on. Needless to say I thought the game was utter rubbish, and I like my FPS.

Weird that I don't hear it at all when I'm actually playing though. Maybe it's because most of these things are recorded on mobile phones, so the noise from the sticks is more easily picked up than the sound from the tv which is further away (very short falloff on a mobile's mic, far shorter than human hearing)

Non saveable DRM security encrypted PS3 save files...
In particular, I'm looking at you Demons Souls (amongst others)
Nearly 200 hrs and YLoD means that i can no longer dip in with my levelled chars on my new system as the save file will not copy over. F*cking utterly ridiculous. I understand the cheating mechanism this is supposed to prevent but for christs sakes, its my save file that i want to use. Quite why Sony have had to encrypt their HDD's with software so f*cking alien, even Sony can't decrypt it is beyond me. Perhaps they thought that by giving the consumer the ability to actually backup their disks by connecting to a PC like MS with the 360 was just faaaaar to simple an idea.
For these reasons alone i am sorely sorely tempted to just bin my new slim PS3 and just keep my 360.
Irk/rant over
