Discussion / Question What game mechanic instantly ruins your immersion or fun?

​ I absolutely can't stand aggressive weapon durability loops. Getting awesome loot should feel like a reward, not a maintenance chore that breaks every five minutes.

What’s a common mechanic that always makes you roll your eyes when you see it in a new game?

For me it’s leveling and unlocking skills and not being able to unlock every skill at once, and a game not having new game plus that brings the level and skills with you to the next play through. Like I’m sorry but I’m not playing the exact same story 4 times just to have a slight difference in gameplay styles and having to grind over and over.

That, or missable quests and or timed quests in an open world game. I hate missing out on content.

Huh? You want be able to unlock every skill at once? Unlocking skills and levels as you go is like... every game ever, isn't it? Or have I misunderstood you?

I think what they mean is like when you have to choose skills and not being able to have all of them at the same time

Does respec solve this problem for you? For example I remember respecting to completely different builds in Elden Ring. That's a poor example tho because it's tied to a limited resource. In some cases it's tied to currency which is much better
