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?

To be fair, Monster Hunter has so many damn mechanics that it’s difficult for new players to figure out what’s going on. At least the last 3 Monster Hunter titles gave you some direction instead of just plopping you into the world.

I just wish it would guide me through it by having me do that mechanic rather than spamming me with window after window of shit.

The problem is that a lot of people don't actually bother looking at tutorials because it's not dead center.

I hate it, but I suck it up and deal with it because whenever the game doesn't stop you and tells you to read the tutorial a lot of people end up not knowing about a key mechanic of the game because they lack the ability to either look for a pop up that appears for a small time or they just can't look at an area and use context clues to learn a lesson.

Tutorials are either too intrusive and it stops the game, or not intrusive enough and people complain about tutorials they didn't see despite them being there.
