I haven't finished SMRPG yet, but the only major dialogue change I heard about was removal of a Bruce Lee reference, and the only censorship being that female boss's breast physics.

Any small minute change just gives them more excuses to do much worse shit. I don't care how small it is, I just don't want current year treehouse wrecking old Nintendo piece by piece.
 
Shit getting weakened because of "balance". I get that stuff like snipers and shotties (with realistic ranges) can be hard to counter if a skilled player gets them, but they should not take more than one shot to bring down a target at optimal range. If you must "balance" them, there's far better options, like longer times between shots, or the Unreal Tournament method of the smoke from your muzzle flash obscuring your scope so you still needed to move around a little to keep shooting.

I really shouldn't be surprised that guns are like this now since so many developers seem to hate them.
 
Unobtainable achievements because the servers shut down for that respective feature. Earlier type of FOMO that exists in gaming.

Now that the Xbox 360 marketplace is down, that's a lot of digital only games potentially lost to time. What a waste.
 
One thing that's specific in strategy games like Total War and Paradox map games.
You are given too much control and customization over everything, making it game-y.
It's a very difficult thing to describe, but compare the character traits in Rome 1 to Rome 2 (or god forbid TWWH), from being RNG based upon your actions to "pick from a tree".
Same with a switch from CK2 to CK3, traits went from "raise your kid with a focus and get a random little shit" to "go down a focus tree".
It simply removes immersion to me and screams "you're playing a game".
 
the worst trend was to stop treating game companies like bands and to start publicly trading them. those two things have led to the death of creativity in gaming.

less signifigiant gripes
install size bloat. they make their game filesizes large on purpose to discourage you from playing other games. this is a real strategy but i forget the name.
ugly characters. nigger characters. racially ambigous characters. faggotry.
open world survival crafting multiplayer games.
inabliity to make your own servers
getting banned from your entire game account and losing access to all your games for saying nigger
