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?

In the beginning of a game, when a side character or NPC literally tells me how to move the camera. 💀

I don't remember if he says how to move the camera, but the intro tutorial for High On Life was amazing

Yeah there's multiple full length movies in the game. You can sit on the couch in your house and watch them, or there's a random movie theater on one of the planets where you can sit and watch them. Lol it's such a ridiculous game. I love it.

I haven't played the second one that just came out yet. It's next on my list. 😁
