No quit button or hiding it in the settings menus
-
No ability to rebind controls
-
Endless, unskippable intro videos
-
Taking control away to have a cutscene that is all dialogue and no action that could have just as easily been something you control as you walk and listen. Especially if it’s not even an in-engine, real-time scripted thing but a pre-rendered video that doesn’t even show your actual character as you have them dressed.
-
FOMO and most MTX in general.
-
No ping/latency stats for everyone on the server

Unskippable cutscenes absolutely need to die. Even on the first playthrough - give me the info I need in a notes section or something, but do not waste my limited time on this coil with slow “exposition.”
I usually quit those when they get too grating and move on, but it’s frustrating nonetheless.

I’d say that viewing cutscenes on your first playthrough is appreciating the artistic intent that goes behind it.

I just want to skip the dialogue once I’ve read the subtitles. Horizon does an incredible job at this. So many games could have gotten a 2nd playthrough from me to get the platinum if I could have skipped the dialogue and cut scenes

some people like to experience the games for the art behind them, not as digital cocaine. if you just want to do cocaine…just do cocaine.
