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

Quick-time events but SPECIFICALLY the ones that give you way too little time to react. Like, I never mind them too much, especially the ones in the Yakuza series, but I remember there was this game on the Wii called Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings that would throw these inputs WAYY too fast at you.

I like them sometimes, but there should ALWAYS be a way to turn them off, for people who don't have fast reflexes or have problems with their hands, etc.

Shout out to Spider-Man on PS4 for this! Love when a game has accessibility options around quick time events, or anything where you need to mash a button really fast.
