i’m just gonna say it… I dislike ‘Respec’

i know people hate the idea of being locked into bad builds but that should be the motivation for a future playthrough for a game. Otherwise it just makes build choices feel inconsequential. Like if I’m going through a game role playing as a barbarian and all it takes is for me to talk to an npc and become a wizard it just feels like i throwing a large aspect of the meta ‘role playing’ out the window.

I feel you but playing Cyberpunk for the 15th playthrough cause you find out a skill sucks or build sucks or you wanna try something else is mind numbing...

Especially with these long ass games that you are not going to replay ever again

unskippable full CG cutscenes that last for 10 minutes. Triple-foul if they're before a bossfight.

spoken dialogue with badly-timed subtitles. If I can read the line before it is said, I honestly don't need it said. Putting the whole speech paragraph on screen at once just wastes my damn itme.

Unnecessary crafting and RPG elements. The idea that every game has to be open world. Narrative altering choice options that are clearly tagged on.

I don’t think anyone likes those things

Basically Destiny 2-The Thread.
Those type of games that feel like you need to watch a Ted Talk course on the game before you can start playing.

Then don't respec. Not everyone wants to play a 100 plus hour game more than once. I think Elden Ring nailed the respec mechanic. Lock it behind rare items.

For me, putting survival/crafting mechanics into everything.

Yall playing softball in here

tip for these kind of threads: if no one is going to quote you telling you you’re wrong or stupid for thinking that way, then not enough people like that feature enough For it to be a legit answer.

Y’all know damn well that nobody love unskippable cutscenes lol.

Frame data in fighting games. I like to eyeball the shyt rather than turning fighting into basic math and hate that it turns every player literally into a "By the numbers" ass nikka.

I wish it was hidden more like it used to be and tbh that the frames were actually more variable to an extent in the first place.

Overly involved "builds"
I got to manage 20 stats and 10 item/weapon slots? Classes? I'm trying to play a game, not work on an excel sheet. And then it locks you out of a lot of the content if you have the wrong stats. Leave me alone.
