What are some things that just get under your skin about games?

For me, it's games that do not allow controller rebinding. I have neuropathy and my fingers don't all work. If I can't rebind buttons so that I have necessary moves (for example: parry) be on buttons I can reliably press the entire game becomes unplayable.

And on console, where I can't refund a game after I downloaded it (fuck you Sony) then it really screws me over wasting what limited funds I have on games I just can't play.

All this. Everyone focuses on not being able to skip a cutscene but not being able to pause it is even worse for me, especially when trying to pause actually does skip the cutscene.

    Being able to replay a cutscene would also be nice.

    omg yes, I loved when games gave a replay stories or replay core concepts section of the menu, it's not that hard to add but it lets you recap as well!

    Feel like that used to be more common for games to have a "Movie/Cinematics" option in the "Extras" menus, treating cutscenes like unlockables, where you could go back and rewatch everything.

    Really disappointing that more games don't do this. It's not like it's a hard thing to add to a game code wise. It's just a menu to the mp4 files with a "yes/no" check against the save file for if the scene has been unlocked or not.

    It's a sign of the times. When I was a kid the cutscenes were the reward for winning the game, or a portion of the game for those bigger games that could afford more than two cutscenes.

    But for my kids cutscenes are the boring things that keep you from playing.
