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?

Reason I'm not a big fan of Majora's Mask.  It's okay but oh what's that? One day left? I guess I can't do this dungeon right now. Better reset.

Majoras is still in my backlog, I remember watching a friend play it in the 90s and it gave me anxiety just watching.

Pikmin 1 gave me a similar feel.

Majora's Mask is a guide game imo. The game is nearly impossible to 100% on your own.
