Unsatisfying boss battles. This doesn't necessarily refer to difficulty since intentionally easy boss battles can be satisfying as well if handled correctly. Unsatisfying boss battles can involve a lack of buildup to the fight (final boss being someone you've never met all game for example), poor engagement of the fight (a generic reason, but it includes the majority of game mechanics not being viable/usable in any way against the boss), and a terrible conclusion to the fight. The conclusion to the fight is mostly what your battle has done in the present.
Final Fantasy 13 has an example of a terrible conclusion to a boss fight with the pope/monk/priest guy. After spending whatever amount of time with him, after defeating him, he descends down like nothing happened and as if the player didn't just spend all of that time fighting him. If the boss had shown any kind of reaction to the fight or had any small cuts, injuries, bruises, increased breathing, or anything that showed the boss fight mattered in some way, it would have been fine, but the fact nothing happened made the fight feel useless and terrible all at once. There was little to no satisfaction to the fight since you could effectively remove the boss fight and the game would continue all the same.

>Main character is a female who complains more than does
Bonus points for clicking her tongue and rolling her eyes back; that shit is an instant "Fuck this game". People who do that are disrespectful cunts who deserve no more than ditch digging jobs, and if I want to dig ditches, I'll play Minecraft instead. Otherwise, I hate any character who is completely nonsensical in a serious setting. Like, if the character cracks jokes that aren't funny when people are having their souls turned inside out or some shit.

Biggest red flag is when a game claims to be retro. You aren't retro, you're using pixel art and acting high and mighty when literally anyone can do that.

It would have been a better if they didn't have to shoot your husband/wife at the start and at least let you run through the story as intended.

This is why I don't get why people are pissy over the second fight with Borgia in AC2. You fist fight the fucking pope in the middle of the Sistine Chapel. Rather than just sneaking up on him and stabbing him or having some over-the-top Piece of Eden battle, you walk up to the man who killed your father and brother, beat the shit out of him, steal his dreams of finding out what's in the Vault, and let him live to wallow in it. Was it a piss easy battle? Yeah. Was it narratively and personality satisfying? Hell yeah.

In both cases the core concept of the game is thrown out for what usually amounts to a setpiece. if the game allows for either approach, then that's fine. I just hate when the game decides that the rules have changed for just this level/area.

Apparently I created a small riot. Sorry but ironsights are stupid and just slow games down. Its the same as shitty field of view.

Aiming guns doesn't block that much of your vision. Its like when you look through a screen door and you don't really see the screen because you are focused beyond it. I live in hillbilly land, everyone has guns so kinda have some knowledge on it. Seriously that stereotype is true.

In FFXII, Shell causes buff spells to sometimes miss. Stop also makes Decoy always miss, which is annoying if you use a gambit for Decoy.

>unskippable "interactive" cutscenes
The worst kind of cancer. I don't mind cutscenes, I could be even convinced that them being unskippable on the first run is perfectly fine, but not being skippable at all in subsequent runs is the worst. Especially if it's the kind where one character just narrates shit while the only thing you can do is walking around and wanting for shit to be over.

>>388301718
FFT.
Spell hit chance depended on your unit's Faith stat, and spell effectivenes depended on the target's Faith stat. I mean, you could adjust your team to account for that so it's not that bad but it is definitely weird.

>>388304581
Exactly.
The misc ones like collect everything or do everything I am usually okay with, but it's shit like in Rogue Galaxy. There are 7 useless "rare items" you can find in the game just for fun, and 2 of them have trophies but the other 5 don't. Why? Instead of two bronze for 2 easy to obtain items, why not just one silver or gold for getting all 7? Sometimes I think they just look at it and say, "okay we need x amount of trophies, what can we squeeze out?"

I really hate seeing achievements like >>388305031
>>388304581
in the game, but I don't 'plat' games even when I have several thousand hours in them. I think the only modern game I've done all the achievements for was Bloodborne, just because they were largely organic. I can't stand garbage ones like "listen to all the audiologs" which actually mean "listen to all the audiologs on the one character". I've listened to every single one of them my man, just across multiple playthroughs. I'm not making a checklist for when I replay the game so I can get a fucking trophy. Same with the "collect all the x" achievements.

I could get on board with people being achievement collectors if achievments for games were actually achievements for skilful play and weren't completely arbitrary. Since I've already mentioned a souls game, lets talk about Dark Souls"collect all spells" achievements. I've played through the game a hundred damn times and used every single spell, damn near every weapon, every infusion, and acquired every ring. I don't have those achievements though, because I didn't do them all on the same character. While achievements in modern games are like this I can never muster the care to go after them, because they just don't mean anything

I want a shooter with accurate guns and dmg, for example headshot is death instantly, lung shot is 15s of time to shoot back, stomach shot you can survive to the end of match but you have to stay put and shoot from there, bullets don't drop in the first 150m etc

ironsights are just fucking hinder, it's a game and not some simulator, only have them if your game is realistic in all ways

Except Daggerfall and Arena also had long ass intro dungeons. Of course you're a retarded casual Obshitter and haven't played them and think TES started at Morrowind so I'd expect nothing more from you.

Jesus fucking Christ idk if it was in original KH2 but in KH2.8 that several hour friendship simulator really put me off playing that damn game.

When a pet gets somewhere hard to reach and does a shit and you can smell it but you can't see it

FF13 is objectively garbage because of this.

I don't care whether or not you found this intro funny, but if anyone says it was a good idea to have this interaction be around half an hour, they deserve to be shot.

but it deals damage in real life too so it makes sense

Blew me away back then, barely any games let you run amok right off the bat

They kept on adding that shit, right?
Because what I remember from the last AC game I've played, it's just been various beliefs. Which at the very least made sense with 1 to prevent muslim chimpouts.

So I assume there are openly gay and transsexual characters in AC games now? Although I wonder how the fuck trannies would work in a historical context but whatever.
