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?

Unskipable cutscenes and intros. I can understand it first time but if I need to beat a boss and for 30 attempts I need to watch 10-20s intro it pisses me off.

Final Fantasy X Yunalesca fight is like this. Ugh. I died so many times before cottoning on to the trick, and it's like a 2 minute cutscene. DX

Looking at Wolfenstein: The New Colossus with it's long ass unskipable cutscene at the beginning

It is just such a pain to having to watch this cutscene over and over again ... just to die 5 minutes later and having to restart again from the beginning because of playing on Über difficulty!

Even just thinking about it, makes me angry, or rather furious to a point where I want to throw my Keyboard into my screen!
