Well ofcourse those get a pass. Even with flaws those games are flawless.

Oh just thought of another one - overencumbence.
Like, I get why developers want to limit how much a player can carry to stop them from just hoarding everything, but when it's so ridiculously unbelievable already, I don't see the point.

Sudden QTEs in cutscenes. I usually relax and take my hands off the mouse/keyboard when there's a cutscene, but then suddenly they throw a QTE at you that I'm totally not prepared for.
Trophies/achievements linked to online play, meaning you have no way of 100%ing the game when the community dies/servers are taken down. This shit is the sole reason why I have been one achievement away from 100%ing Third Strike Online for four years and I will never do it because not enough people play the mode required to get it.
for bethesda games at least, i've just been console commanding this out. particularly in fallout 4, when for crafting you're expected to pick up every little piece of junk, it's a lifesaver.

Map rotation, locked mode for specific time, no load out changing after a game starts.
I'm looking at you Splatoon 2. Who the fuck comes up with this shit?

Weight detection in wrasslin games. Bret Hart should not be tossing around Andre the Giant. It takes me out.

The lack of water physics (or interaction) when a character is swimming or just runs through a puddle.

In Gears 4 all the wannabe pros switch to their pistol and aim at the sky at the end of a round
I'm all for taunting but it's just so boring and not creative

This gets me, especially these days. I mean cmon people. This was in ps2 era games, why can't we have something other than generic repeated circular animations laid over top of the static water. I mean, come on.

When you have to hit a separate confirm button when you want to apply your options and leave the option menu. I don't need you asking me "do you reeeeeeaaally want to save the changes to the settings???" you dense motherfucker. If I didn't want them changed, I wouldn't have changed them or I could just change them back (which almost is never the case). GOD
Actually, not even. The worst is when it doesn't even ask you to confirm. It's when it just doesn't apply the changes when you back out and doesn't bother to tell you you need to hit an extra button at the bottom of whatever.

That's not really a flaw though, not all games need jump buttons. Doom and Pacman don't have jump buttons.
Yeah I fully agree, which is why I thought it was very pompous to name drop Miyazaki like that. Like really, only those games?

The positive is that it seems to force developers to give you just about as many save slots as they player might need as opposed to save systems integrated into the game which to me personally, severely underestimate how many slots I need a lot of the time.

Some of the early tables in The Pinball Arcade (and the Star Trek table for Steam Pinball Arcade) have glaring jpeg compression artifacts on the artwork. I find this to be completely unacceptable. (And honestly I don't think I'm being unreasonable with that, these are commercial products and they aren't cheap.) It bugs me enough that I've only played the Star Trek table twice since buying it.

When music sounds bad from a technical perspective.
I'm a big Hatsune Miku fan but a lot of the songs in Future Tone sound like absolute garbage.
Back in the day it ruined Emperor: Battle for Dune for me. The music was compressed into oblivion. Sounded awful. Even worse was that the soundtrack of that game is awesome, but I couldn't appreciate it.

Guess I will opt for the PC version instead of that PS4 port.

Tutorials. Absolutely can't stand them in most games.
