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

    Quick save/quick load. Not as relevant any more, but so many games used to have it. The meta game just became saving at the opportune moment and trying every possible action from there to progress forward.

    Blew my mind in the first Bioshock where you could qs/ql, but the vita chambers were forgiving enough to wean you off it.

      I love quick save / quick load features. I quick load ALOT but doesn’t bother me at all, they are games and I like to try out different things and for example in Max Payne I quick loaded back to awesome fights just to try them again.
