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

Quicktime events.

I'd limit it to mandatory QTEs - better games have a "story" mode that doesn't punish you (much/at all) for having the reflexes of an old-timer.

But yeah, mandatory QTEs are an immediate buzzkill. I don't intend to waste more time in Tomb Raider - that's already 21 minutes I never get back.

QTEs are also often pretty bad from an accessibility standpoint, especially the older kinds that had you repeatedly mashing buttons!
