Ask Lemmy

Any game that forces snap to center cameras. No one should ever have to fight against the controls in a game.

(Looking at you No Man’s Sky)

This is more game specific than anything else, but the slingshot rock from Dungeon Clawler. Temporarily destroys an item, uses the first item item it hits once, and then the next twice before disappearing. Doesn't bounce in a way I like.

QTEs

Fucking RE4 Original

• Auto you lose cutscenees

• Hidden story trees or finicky story trees so you have to meticulously follow guides lest you get a bad end or miss a secret ending

• Weapons that break.

  No. Never. Stop doing it.

• Shotguns that only are effective up to 10 ft

  What game actually has shotguns act like real shotguns???

• Loading screen ass tunnels or hallways or elevators.

  We live in 2025. Evryone has Ssds and there are many ways to load as a player advances. Stop doing this 1990s shit.

• Timers.

  Just never find them fun

• Forced heavy backtracking.

  I'm not having fun, you're just wasting my time. Fuck you.

• Unrelated puzzle mini games

  Please stop adding worthless busy work into games. One of the first mods I added to Cyberpunk was just to remove the stupid breach protocol. It's not that its hard, it's not. It's just time wasting and annoying. Dispatch is another game with these for no reason. Fallout, Bioshock, fucking so many games have this shit.

  Either I have the level to pick the fucking lock or I don't. I don't want to play some half assed unrealistic lockpicking sim for the equivalent of an hour by the time the game is done. It's like making you have to take each step for your character or breathe. Not the point.

• Obviously all mtxs, goes without saying and marketting dark patterns like everything here.

• Nerfing """OP""" things in single player power fantasy games.

  Are you high? That's the fucking point!

• Chance based loot.

  Just no. I don't want to reload a dozen times to get the thing I want. It arguably exists in the world and I should just be able to go find it.

• Loot.

  Stop spreading this shit around making me have to waste time everywhere I go in order to be remotely optimally equipped.

  Just say no to loot.

  Healing should be on a cool down and have upgrades availible like in cyberpunk, Ammunition should be on enemies, cooldown or purchased

  Weapons if loot able should be placed identically with no luck elements, or in exactly the stores they should be in.
