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.

    Unskippable cutscenes absolutely need to die. Even on the first playthrough - give me the info I need in a notes section or something, but do not waste my limited time on this coil with slow “exposition.”

    I usually quit those when they get too grating and move on, but it’s frustrating nonetheless.

      I’d say that viewing cutscenes on your first playthrough is appreciating the artistic intent that goes behind it.

        I just want to skip the dialogue once I’ve read the subtitles. Horizon does an incredible job at this. So many games could have gotten a 2nd playthrough from me to get the platinum if I could have skipped the dialogue and cut scenes

          some people like to experience the games for the art behind them, not as digital cocaine. if you just want to do cocaine…just do cocaine.

            Its a good thing they’re asking for something that doesn’t impact the experience for those people then
