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.

    Not being able to pause or save at any point.

    I’m a “grown-up” these days, but I grew up with games and they’re part of my life, and I love them - but in the larger scale of things, they’re still toys. The requirements of a pet/partner/child/phone call/doorbell will always nearly always outrank them.

    “We don’t let you pause because it’s a simulation and and you can’t pause real life so it means the game is more realistic” = piss off

      Yeah, or you can pause the game by opening the menu, but not when you’re in dialogue, when it matters most.

        Long cutscene that you’ve tried so hard to reach. Will pressing start pause the game or skip it forever?
