Linear games

Movie games (more cutscenes than actual gaming)

Forcing me to do a mission a specific way

Excessive XP grinding. Some is expected, but it can be too much

Microtransactions

Having to be connected to the internet

Bosses that input read - happens more in "hard" games (basically Elden Ring level of difficulty and harder).

The issue is you're fighting XYZ Boss, and you hit a button to perform an attack. The boss counters your move when you press the button, not when your character does the action. Like you tap "X" to attack but there's a split second before the character you're controlling onscreen actually DOES the attack. The boss isn't reacting to the character movement but rather your button press...at least it can feel that way.

Action/RPG games where my decisions don't appear to have any consequences. One of the reasons I loved Witcher 3 is it felt like my choices actually had an impact on the direction of various storylines. Kinda sucks playing a game where the end result ends up being almost the same despite having a bunch of different paths you can take.

It's funny how slightly inventive threads like these eventually always devolves into nikkas just naming any ole random shyt they don't like about games instead of actually sticking to the topic of the thread.

1 touch death. I loved Astro Bot, but that aspect really pissed me off.

Weapons that degrade or break. Let's be honest, I'm talking specifically about Breath of the Wild. Everyone loved that game but I hated it.

I'm also not a fan of completely open worlds. It's best achieved in parts with a clear sense of direction.

fighting games:
Cheap overpowered bosses that become weak once you unlock them.

Action games:
Unskippable cutscenes before a major boss fight.
You'd think that most of these game makers would give you an option to skip after the first encounter.

Stealth Games:
Stupid enemies that stop searching for you too quick even if they find 7 bodies laying out.

Roxas part of KH2 is better than Sora's

Auto save sucks. Save scumming is better

Fast travel ruins the game, if your world is soo boring you need fast travel that's on the devs

Rubber banding in racing games just makes you better stop crying

Ranking in online games means nothing it's about time invested not wins

Heavy armor is better in elden ring if you need to roll you should get good and learn to parry

Stats on equipment is dumb, learn what is strong and weak via trial and error like the game character has to.

Never realized how much I enjoyed save scumming until I played Breath of the Wild and that same is always auto saving
