@MJBrune I think I really like timed challenges even if I'm not very good at them.
Like block -> parry
Also with tolerance areas where you can hit a "passing" "good" or "perfect" score.

Forced sections in AAA games. If you wander left or wander right or jump or sneak a direction it didn't want you get a mysterious death. Just make it a cutscene if you are going to pidgeonhole me so much assasins creed, or a cartoon movie.
I hate stealth. I want to go everywhere guns blazing. This is what ruined the Farcry series for me. Having unskippable stealth sections.
Hate:
- Un-skippable cutscenes or tutorials. This really hampers replayability of missions/quests, or even entire games in general.
- Artificially limited customization in order to sell more via micro-transactions.
- Time-gated features. I hate it when games require a certain amount of in-game time before some things are unlocked.
- Pay-to-win in multiplayer games. Preventing or limiting progression with ability to bypass it with a purchase is just gross. If you want to go F2P, do it all the way. I'm fine with for-purchase cosmetics, but getting a leg up on fellow players if you can afford it is just bad.
Love:
- Don't have anything specific. Anything that sucks me into the game.
Not really a game mechanic by definition, but I hate forced PvP in open world/MMO style games. Even survival games, where one could argue it fits.
I won't buy a game if they do this, so I guess in that sense the PvP is a choice.
