The other thread about favorite mechanics is great, so let's also do the opposite: what are some of your most hated mechanics?

To yes-and this: procedural content in general. No Man's Sky is a snore-fest for me, big, empty, meaningless. Missions in Elite Dangerous and X4 are similarly pretty boring, though the former is more fun the first time around. There has to feel like there's some world-affecting point to what you're doing. IMO

I found the procedurally-produced planets in No Man's Sky to be stunningly beautiful. Then I would walk around on them and the similar-but-not-quite look of every part of the landscape would slowly drive me INSANE.

I started playing No Man's Sky recently and it looks like they added a mode that's more 'streamlined'. Dunno if it's still procedurally generated, though.
