We’ve all got them, gaming pet-peeves. Maybe it’s the unskippable cutscene, or the poorly placed checkpoint that means you’ve got to sit through the aforementioned cutscene once again. Maybe it’s the end-game boss with a surprise second health-bar, or the random difficulty spike that doesn’t feel fair.

What’s on your videogame sh*t list?

    People go out of their way to mod temperature/hunger/thirst/tiredness into games like Skyrim and Minecraft and so on. More power to them, but I just find all of it annoying.

    In a game like The Long Dark, where the entire game is basically about that, it is fine. It is well made and a challenge, and doesn’t just distract you from whatever you want to be doing.

      You phrased it better - it’s really when hunger mechanics distract me from the actual game.

      I thought of another game where I don’t mind it - Don’t Stare (/Together). It’s part of the challenge of the game, not some side thing you have to maintain
