The other thread about favorite mechanics is great, so let’s also do the opposite: what are some of your most hated mechanics?

    Death penalties. Any game that seriously penalizes you for dying is just so frustrating for me. I understand that there has to be some form of reason to not die but please, at worst just reload an earlier save for me (and make sure you have frequent autosaves too).

    If I lose all my items on death I’m just reloading a save. If I have to respawn at a checkpoint ten thousand years away I’m going to be very mad. If I have to listen to someone monologue to me every time I die I’m refunding your game.

      I’m playing Jedi Fallen Order these days and this is incredibly frustrating.
