Games where you can have lots of party members but only a few have a role in the story so most are blank slates chosen from a few preset appearances and male/female. I don't know why but having these two types of character, one full of personality and seeming like you should use them for story reasons, and the other type being completely personalityless and customisable to some extent, having these two choices alongside each other inflames my autism in a way I can't explain, possibly because it's difficult to know which to pick

Labradors are the gay austists of the dog world.

Lackluster or inconsistent save systems piss me off in general. Especially when it goes from allowing you to save fairly frequently to having these long stretches out of nowhere where you can't.

I mean, at least other games bother giving you some flat out, cheesy explanation as to why... Persona 3 just cuts straight out to the fact your party members probably forget how to breathe if you are not around.

>>384111739
After a while I came to the conclusion it made sense in SMT Nocturne because you're just roaming with a bunch of demons who you either forced to tag along or made out of other demons. If they watch you bite the dust they have no obligation to you and just fuck off.

Other games that do this still piss me off, tho. More so if they have insta kill spells.

Arc Rise Phantasia was terrible at this shit.

I hate constantly getting grappled by enemies and have to mash a button to get free in games like Dying Light and fucking eafgles in Far Cry 4. It breaks the flow of the action and is annoying as fuck since the 'woops, looks like I'm about to get grabbed, better stop accepting player input and put my arms up in a defensive position' animation starts way before the enemy actually makes contact

Dying Light is godawful when you still haven't unlocked headstomping and instant grapple freedom. After that the game gets tolerable, and when you get the hookshot it turns into GOTY. But man, do you have to suffer through some shit.
