Random encounters, I don't think there's anything worse than that

Can think of very few situations where it felt like it was a positive change that played well with the game instead of a chore that stopped me from doing whatever I was every so often.

Why yes Fallout, I do enjoy getting raped by a pack of deathclaws after leaving the vault for the first time.

Dead Rising

Very obvious pointers to the objective like big glowing auras, floaty waypoints and bread crum trails telling you where to go.

Also team member gamertags above their head constantly. Hate that.

The big bad of a game dying in a qte/cutscene. What ever happened to cool final boss fights?

I hate this one so much. Some people can survive for over two weeks without any food, as long as they have a good enough intake of water, surely just because you haven't eaten in a day you aren't gonna be on death's door?

Fuck you Kingdom Come.

KC does fast travel well, in my opinion. More games should have your character actually take the trip and have encounters on the route.

This shit ruins Misadventures of Tron Bonne.
At least the cooking game has a nice pause glitch.

I guess it's more of a lack of a mechanic detail, but whatever.

when you beat the game on normal and the game only gives you a joke ending and tells you to try hard mode.
why not just make normal harder, why do you have to be assholes about it? my apologies for thinking normal was the way the game was meant to be played.

MGS2

There's a difference between minmaxing and whether or not I'm wasting my fucking time trying to inflict a poison effect that does 2 damage over 50 seconds and has a 6% chance of working.

Unlimited inventory space.
Stacking ridiculous amounts of items.
No inventory weight.

If anything, a LACK of good mechanics pisses me off.

While the hitboxes for them often suck, they're one of the few tools a boss has against a good shield. Fix the hitboxes and they're a great mechanic.

when did Sup Forums become so casual?

>There isn't a guaranteed path to success for everybody

Welcome to real life kid.

Also to be playing a game where you're fighting a known mercenary faction that's heavily armed, where your character is head of security of a company that makes weaponized augs, you have nobody but yourself to blame for not taking at least one weapon/offensive specialization.

it's pretty much canonical you have the typhoon

>what's her name Sup Forums?
Excessive downtime between death and getting to retry whatever killed you. By downtime I mean loading screens, menus, or running through an empty level. I would rather fight my way through a populated level then have to sit through stupid loading screens and pointless running.

Honorable mention to escort quests with suicidaly stupid AI.

NPC roadblocks

When I was younger I used to boot up a hacked/gameshark save just to bypass these fucks because I hated them so much.

This makes sense because of the ethereal mechanic.

>diablo 2 has ethereal mechaninc
>botw has ???
Ebin

Let me guess, only child?

no

but I barely know my sisters.

What? Ethereal just meant unrepairable and didn't exist till LoD anyway

>There isn't a guaranteed path to success for everybody

But there is, the pure combat route. The guy who went pure combat is never put in a situation where he can't progress unless he does a difficult hack or talks his way through a situation. He might get lesser rewards or a different outcome, but he's never put in an unavoidable, required-for-completion segment where he needs to do something outside his skillset.

Just started playing Nioh last week and holy fuck I hate the Oni-bi because of this shit. Picture Lost Souls from Doom but their melee attack animation looks just like their move, and it hits 5 times

only can think of FE where it makes sense

Dying.

>Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.

I think the only problem here is you passing on your irresponsibility to take a combat skill as a fault in the game.

He probably meant weapon degradation

not really a mechanic but

>quest requires you to collect items
>one of these items is a drop from an enemy
>if the enemy falls off the map, or you fail to loot the item before it disappears, then the quest cannot be completed

Sure this isn't ideal, but it is something that a lot of games mis too. They feel a lot like a big checklist of things you should do, instead of an actual game to play. Like for example, if I choose to do side quests for the KKK, I shouldn't be able to do side quests for the black panthers after that
