You guys are forgetting an annoying encumberance system where in order to pick up the heavy object (example: plate mail) you have to drop a light weight object (example: ring) because you are out of item slots.

Need an account to begin the game even though it’s single player.

After logging in the game updates and requires a restart. Even though you updated outside of the game.

The menu is a convoluted mess with lots of areas all having notification icons.

Lots of DLC with adverts for the DLC menu.

Instead of walking/moving with a your joysticks, you use them to point a fucking mouse cursor and click on the ground where you want to go, like that shitty walking dead game on playstation

Rarity tiers but every weapon is the same boring shit.

If singleplayer:

A complex transmog system that has gacha style of different 'currencies' (shit tier crafting ingredients) and layers of abstraction, some of which functionally require being subbed to a battlepass which allows you to purchase some necessary key items to the transmog process only after you've done all your monotonous dailies for 3 weeks without missing a single one.

If multiplayer:

'Radiant' style quests revolving around escorting a low health, brain dead at path finding npc, which walks slower than your run speed but faster than your walk speed, through a PvP combat zone, who frequently has random mental breakdowns and must be reassured everything will be alright through a 22 step dialog tree process, which is largely randomized everytime, in order to keep them moving.

You and the npc can be killed during conversation segments, which you cannot exit from at whim, you must complete the dialog tree successfully to regain control of your character and exit the 'cinematic dialog' mode.

MHW was a game desperately in need of a paper manual.

Flashing up pages full of text during the tutorial is flat out obnoxious.

The 7 minutes walk and talk segment reminded me of Forza Motorsport 6. A fucking car game with a fucking UNSKIPPABLE, long ass stupid fucking intro nobody asked for.

UI is 30 different sections that are marked with obscure pictures instead of words.

The tutorial explains things that are exactly the same as every game ever (like moving around, moving the camera, etc) but does not explain or even mention the mechanics that are unique to this game that not even someone who is an expert in every game ever would think about. Then tell the player to do a thing you didn't explain at all how to do.

I swear to fuck, this is the standard for a lot of games these days. I really shouldn't have to look up a guide or wiki to get the fuck out of the tutorial area.

Don't forget to never fix game breaking bugs.

30min of gameplay, more purchasable with expensive unbalanced DLC's.

Loot boxes. Because a game is not addictive enough to kids without gambling.

Worst storyline, unrealistic characters.

Add more useless content, like new skins and hats, instead of fixing bugs.

Change mechanics every now and than causing loads of players to loose everything or making expensive purchased items useless.

Make the game subscription based after 6 months, when everyone already bought the base game and extra content, and aren't eligible for refunds anymore.

Make the game pay to win.

Ask EA to publish your game.

Make travel time waaaay to long, no fast travel.

Have way too many collectibles in places which are easy to reach but take a looooong time to get to, with at least 1 per set glitched somewhere impossible to reach.

Did I already say "more DLC's"?

Make multi-player server based, have those servers crash often.

Abandon the project while there's still a massive player base because you're working on the next money-grab piece of junk.

Complain constantly the people leaving bad reviews are just too dumb to understand the concept.
