The nine most frustrating mistakes that all video game players make

From mistimed jumps to save game mishaps, here are the gaming errors we all make again and again

There are some mistakes that we make habitually. We can't help ourselves. Even as we're doing it, a part of our brain is screaming: "This is absolutely the wrong thing to do." But somehow, before we know it, we've gone ahead done it; we've bought a ticket to see Batman v Superman.

Sometimes those things happen in games too. It doesn't matter how experienced you are at Call of Duty, there are moments you think you can take out several incoming players at once by charging at them with your pistol and two bullets in the clip. Even if you've been playing Tomb Raider games for 10 years you'll still occasionally walk up to a gigantic chasm and think, I wonder if Lara can survive that fall? And then you discover that she can't. And the last checkpoint was several miles back.
