Let's talk about certain elements or designs or mechanics in video games that you just can't stand, Something that can even ruin a game for you, even if it's "done well", something that just it being a factor means you're not going to enjoy the game as much as you'd like to.

Off the top of my head as I'm typing this, there are two things that I can't stand, Not having a map, and RNG.

I don't care even if you have the most detailed world with the most outlandish landmarks and distinct structures, I don't like not having a map. I don't want to e tasked to commiting things to memory, and I worse I don't want to be wondering about exploring, to then accidentally stumble into a point of no return.

And RNG, when I was smaller, I didn't mind it so much, it was just a thing RPGs did, but my whole perspective changed when I tried Fire Emblem Sacred Stones
I got hit with the cold hard truth that 99% simply means the chance of failure is very low, not impossible
I've cursed it ever since.

Random battles in RPGs. Don't like them, not even in Pokemon.

Because you have no taste?

jkid, my taste is different from yours. You'll just have to accept that.

And according to you that makes my tastes wrong, right?

No, I only pretend that it does to make myself feel better.

I don't want this topic to die since you know... it's an interesting topic so...

Sudden Super Intelligence Sentience AI. One minute minute they are just taking a beating and then the next second they do impossible shit...
Or when they are so godly nothing you do really even affects them. *cough* *cough* Kid Icarus: Uprising Multiplayer AI *cough* *cough*

Better than that
When you get AI partners who do the exact opposite.
Get stuck on walls and fumble about at the simplest tasks.

Tho, not sure if that's actual design or laziness.
