- Excessive grinding or padding in a game just for the sake of it or for microtransaction reasons.
- Microtransaction and pay-to-win models in full price $70 games...
- Overuse of Quick time events Press E to dodge etc etc
- Escort missions when developers want to pad their game out
- Terrible stealth mechanics when an enemey spots me when im standing still in a bush from the other side of the map

Yeah, the older I get, the more "I don't have time for 10h grinding a day" I get. Just let me play a complete game in peace please.
I decided a few years ago that I play games to have fun and if a game isn't fun, I don't play it. I don't have much time these days to dedicate gaming, so I want to enjoy the time I do.
I've had a few I've really enjoyed until I hit some really terrible game mechanic or even a boss encounter I can't get past. I'll usually give it a few days/tries, but I'll flat out just bail and uninstall a game if it is causing me too much stress.
Same here, life is too short to struggle ingame :)
