There are plenty of fun games to be played, but there are also plenty of problems every gamer has faced.

From solo gameplay, to co-op to massive multiplayer online games, there is always going to be an issue or problem you will run into at some point during your gameplay.

Here are 5 Problems Every Gamer has to deal with.

5 – Trolls.

Multi players back in the day was sitting in your bedroom with a couple of friends and enjoy some awesome gaming. Today however, it has shifted into the digital realm, where you can join communities of hundreds of people.
Trolls is to refer to the individuals who basically do anything to piss you off, weather that be killing you every time you spawn, shouting abuse down the microphone or tea bagging you each time you die.
Unfortunately there is no cure for stupidity, but they are out there and it is something we have all had to suffer in an online game community.

4 – Money, Money, Money.

Again, back in the day, you would pay for a game, take it home and play, that was it. Today games are costing more than rent on your apartment, with DLC, loot boxes and micro transactions all costing money.
If you are a PC gamer, money problems can hit you hard as system upgrades to play the latest triple A titles can cost thousands. And if you are a quality and frame rate whore like me, the upgrades never seem to stop. All in the name of getting ultra realistic quality at 120 frames per second at 4K resolution.

3 – Neeerrrrrrrd.

It can be frustrating at times when you are placed into a stereotype because of the life choices you have made.
TV, film and other media sources depict gamers, PC gamers in particular, as overweight slobs, who are very tech savvy and spend most of their time behind there PC playing games. While this ''may be true'' of a select few, the rest of the gaming community is very diverse and has varying backgrounds, from A list celebs playing video games with there children online, even streaming, to the very budget orientated gamer who has a passion for gaming but has a respectable career. Because we don't conform to the standards that society wants, we are labelled as nerds or geeks.

2 – Red Ring of Death.

This affliction is more console related than PC, while PC's can fail from time to time, Consoles seem to die more often than Storm Troopers.
It can be vary annoying when you go to turn on your console for a few hours of gaming, only to find your console is dead. The most notorious console for randomly dying was the Xbox 360, and the red ring of death. On the vary rare occasion, this can happen within the warranty period, and you can exchange it for a new console, but the rest of the time, this happens after the warranty period, with no chance of replacement, meaning you will have to spend more money on another console. It is equally annoying when your cartridge will no longer work or your favourite game disc is scratched. Not so much of an issue now everything is becoming digitized, but at one point you had to put up with it.

1 – Forgetting to Save.

Automatic saves are becoming more common in newer games, but there are some that still require manual saves, and if you are a retro gamer, there was no such thing as auto saves.
You can get so engrossed into your game that you can forget to save your progress. So when you get killed by a boss, you will have to start right back to your last save, loosing hours of progress. This can be very annoying in certain games like resident evil for example, although you may know what to do and can progress much quicker, it is still gameplay that shouldn't need repeating had you saved regularly.
A problem some of us used to suffer was game code saves, where every save meant you had to right down a long ass code so you can continue where you left off, just like the old Metal Gear & Snakes revenge games on the NES.

Gamers have to put up with problems each time they play, but thankfully as technology improves, those issues are becoming less frequent.
