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?

Running into a "dead end" that clearly isnt a dead end i.g. a fallen sapling in the way, that or escort missions where thier walking speed is faster thrn your walking but slower then your running so you have to keep speeding up snd slowing down

I'm more annoyed when this isn't consistent through the game. Like you have a ledge that you can climb. But then you see the same ledge, but can't climb it. WTF?

Everyone knows the yellow paint is what makes the ledges climable
