Mine is the lag in Stellaris, and lack of options to let me impact it. Like let me disable the ability for the AI to make habitats FFS!

I despise hub worlds - don’t make me walk around a map to access menu options. I’m currently playing Division 2 and can’t stand to find all of the people to just play the game.

The number of games that do this is to long to list: Destiny, Darktide, Fireteam.

Imagine Tarkov with a hub instead of menus. 🤢

Yup. So many games mess this up. You CAN do a good hub world, but it needs to have lots of interesting things in it, not just glorified menu options

I've always liked how the banjo kazooie games did it. Rather than being a hub world, they had a lot of stuff to do that it makes the "worlds" into sub-worlds

Ugh this is why I can't play Vanilla mount and blade warband.

In every single city you enter, you have to find the important people to talk to. They all are the exact same people, but you have to find them. And they are all in different places in the city, but there is absolutely nothing else interesting in the city to find. Like there are no secrets, you just have to wander the city looking for the Quest Giver in an otherwise bland city.

Every single mod ever simply adds a button you can click saying "Speak to guild master"
