Game Hell: What gives you trouble?
#8
Most of the things that fall under Fake Difficulty.

Heavy Trial and Error based gameplay. We all know the extreme examples. It just boils down to repeating the same shit over and over again until you have the entire map memorized.

Escort or Protect Missions. Yeah, those. Usually what happens the first time around is...you start, and they get killed, just like that, either because of the AI, or because you weren't expecting them to die so easily. So you gotta go back and do it again.

Luck-Based Missions. Any semblance of skill is removed, so the RNG can keep you at that part of the game anywhere between a few minutes to several hours.

Shitty Controls and/or Physics. If the game plays like shit or awkwardly, I play like shit or awkwardly. It's a waterfall effect.

Lack of critical information to progress. In other words, the game hasn't pointed out the goals in some way, so you're forced to exhaust every possibility until you get where you're supposed to be by chance. Not by willfully exploring and looking at your surroundings in a clever way, but purely ending up in the right place because you happened to resort to bullshitting around until something worked.
