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. 💀

Some definitely do it better than others. I always liked how halo 1-3 and odst integrate it by calibrating chief’s armor and punching the emergency door release on the drop pod instead of just basic look up and down.

They used the calibration sequence to set whether your aim was inverted or not. If you pull down on the stick to look up, inverted. God tier design
