madmaltese★ 2,804 Posted Wednesday at 01:56 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:56 AM Are there any specific game mechanics or design choices in games that truly annoy you every time they are in a game? Some of mine: -Bosses that heal -Bosses that have multiple phases but the next phase starts when the whole health bar is depleted -Co-op centric games that have long Solo player only intros (making every first sesh with friends just everyone playing alone) -Degrading weapons / inventory weight caps in games that are not Survival games 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 4,206 Posted Wednesday at 02:21 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:21 AM Multiple phase boss battles where when you die you have to start from the very first phase. Shit just feels like a waste of time in every game that does it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sabo 481 Posted Wednesday at 03:21 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:21 AM Not giving me the option to fully customize controls to my liking. Permanently missable stuff. Hard difficulties that rely on inflating enemy health/damage values. Unskippable cutscenes. Not having multiple save slots. Bullshit RNG. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kaz 2,486 Posted Wednesday at 06:04 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:04 AM (edited) escort/bodyguard missions slow ass walking people you have to follow and adjust the speed by toggling run/walk everything with a fucking timer convoluted level design and backtracking (jedi fallen order) jehurey puzzles that are otherwordly like the one in SH3 with "hard riddle" difficulty: fucking nobody ever solved that the book sorting Edited Wednesday at 06:09 AM by kaz 2 Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 8,313 Posted Wednesday at 11:11 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:11 AM I agree with everything said, so far. I’ll add: unavoidable puzzle hand-holding ala god of war. I got so annoyed with the NPCs blurting out the solutions, right at the start of the puzzles. long and/or hard walkbacks to difficult bosses. Elden Ring fixed this issue with save points just before each battle. Ubisoft-style maps, full of points of reference. Also filler fetch quests. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
