First one that comes to my mind is having to travel with an NPC and our walk/run speeds don’t match.
Things that are really hard to do with bad ping, like the Melody’s hair quest in Hypixel skyblock
@daredevil not being able to pause a cutscene.
Especially since I’ve had kids and often need to leave a game quickly, this has become very annoying.
open world physics that only happen to work where they want it to
Not being able to pause and rewind cutscenes. I’ve got ADHD and my attention wanders even if I’m interested in something. Let me rewind to see what I missed when my brain seeking dopamine told me to check my phone.
And being forced to walk slowly in a scene for reasons. It’s not fun; it’s frustrating.
When I load up a game on just to see what it’s like and it has a bunch of story up front. I just don’t have the patience anymore.
