What are some things that just get under your skin about games?

For me, it’s games that do not allow controller rebinding. I have neuropathy and my fingers don’t all work. If I can’t rebind buttons so that I have necessary moves (for example: parry) be on buttons I can reliably press the entire game becomes unplayable.

And on console, where I can’t refund a game after I downloaded it (fuck you Sony) then it really screws me over wasting what limited funds I have on games I just can’t play.

    when you can rebind movement keys (I’m an esdf player as opposed to wasd), but it does not rebind consistently. So a map is panned using wasd still, or menu browsing is, or even basic movement in a mini-game, or driving using a vehicle etc. It seems developers rarely really test anything but wasd…

    Worst was cyberpunk, which always jettisoned me from the car in a super dramatic leap… on every right turn. XD

    edit: also, when rebound keys are not represented correctly in tutorials or prompts… ugh.

      I think in cyberpunk its because cars use a separate control set that can/has to be separately rebound. Its so you can use a joystick for driving and a gamepad for walking

        you can configure the keys separately… but it does not work right - F remains hard coded for some features

          Also cyberpunk loves to do a double duty multiple unrelated actions to one keybind so you cannot rebind each action individually.
