We know you love to play video games. But we also know that in games some things entertain you less and some more. And now we are interested in what these others are and what you don’t like to do in games.
There are few games where it’s easy to love everything. There are games that are fun in principle, but certain things hold them back. Sometimes it’s factual, and sometimes it’s on the level of what suits or doesn’t suit us personally. And I’m sure you have some example of such a game where you roll your eyes at certain mechanics or segments.
Some people don’t like sneaking and forced stealth sections in games. Some people don’t like solving puzzles. Others are bothered by grind, or fetch quests, freeing bases, climbing towers. Still others can’t stand digging and collecting resources, and there are those who don’t like to read or listen to conversations in games – what’s more, even cutscenes skip and interrupt. There are really all kinds of us!
For this round of HCL discussion, we ask you: what do you dislike doing in video games? What activities and mechanics do you dislike in games? Is it sorting through the inventory, crafting things or maybe opening a loot box? Be sure to let us know in the comments!
