First one that comes to my mind is having to travel with an NPC and our walk/run speeds don’t match.
ALWAYS ONLINE SINGLE PLAYER GAMES
Anything in a menu that you have to do a lot, but still requires multiple inputs to achieve. Think resource management in No Man’s Sky or Dark Souls. Crucial to the game, but breaks your flow over and over again.
@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.
When you get two dialog options and neither is something anyone would actually say.
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.
