The other thread about favorite mechanics is great, so let’s also do the opposite: what are some of your most hated mechanics?

    I think forced stealth mechanics in games not designed for them are my pet peeve. Looking at you Witcher 2.

      Yes, yes and more yes. Even worse in co-op or MMO games where there’s always one smug friend who does it first time while you’re laying dead on the floor after your 32nd attempt…

      I hate stealth mechanics in general, it is just not my type of gameplay. It is the reason I stopped playing Death Stranding, although I loved everything else in it, but being forced to use stealth mechanics was so off-putting to me, I just stopped playing and can’t go back.
