Right here is how fellow avid gamers responded.
When The Aim Is Too Apparent
@allyhumphreys responded: “When your goal is just too clearly signposted. I gave up on Splinter Cell because of this. The primary 2/3 video games have been nice, then it bought too straightforward.”
“That is an fascinating one!” Chris replied. “I often get irritated on the reverse however admire that some individuals desire to determine it out for themselves.”
Lengthy-winded Tutorials

Unending Intros

Worrying Time Limits

Stealth Sections
@ben_cameron joined the dialog. “Enforced stealth sections. Or escort missions.”
Mysterious Alchemy
@GameOfTheSky replied, “I suppose it is probably not a mechanic gameplay-wise, however stay service grind stuff, particularly in the event that they’re in full retail video games. Crafting/alchemy has all the time been a bane for me in RPGs too, actually hate it when the very best stuff is locked behind… nonetheless you are meant to determine alchemy.”
The Bizarre in Between
@YamanekoRPG responded, “The compelled strolling bits in cinematic story video games the place there’s nothing else to do however barely push the stick ahead whereas everyone seems to be stating the apparent and providing you with an phantasm of interplay.

“Conversely, I am positive with it in video games like Monster Hunter as gathering assets feeds into map information.”
Irksome Survival Mechanics
@OblivionCalls answered, “Having to take care of survival mechanics, as in starvation or thirst meters. Fallout 76 was actually unhealthy for that.”
Pointless Leveling Up
@sighingsorvid mentioned, “I am getting bored with RPG mechanics being shoehorned into video games that do not want them. Why do I have to degree up in Trials Rising? I simply need the tracks. Gaining expertise factors to entry them killed the late recreation stone useless.”
Breakable Weapons

My time is proscribed, I wish to make progress and be entertained once I dedicate it. Some discover gameplay challenges entertaining. I do not.”
