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.

spongy bosses don't always mean they're challenging. I can't count how many times I've fought a boss who isn't hard or interesting but just wastes time cause they have a ton of health.

mechanics matter.

    I love my older retro games, like I'm a huge Metroid fan, but jebus to Betsy, they fall for this trapping all too often.

    I don't fault them, those were the Wild West of gaming when devs were still figuring things out, but damn does it make going back to older games a bit rough.
