The sexy otaku bait is the worst thing in Nier Automata.

EarthBound has very front-loaded and unbalanced difficulty that's best resolved by mindless grinding for the first, like, 10 hours.

Enemy levels scale with you. I fucking hate that. What's the point of levelling up.

Shenmue III definitely had some currency grinding sections and I didn't care for the HP decay throughout the day.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a PS2 game and hasn't been ported to anything newer than that. Not only is that annoying because it makes it hard to play these days, but also the tech wasn't quite there for the cel-shaded graphics it was trying to do.

I don't like the colour filter change in the Deadly Premonition director's cut.
Nier Gestalt needed a larger budget or time to pull off the endings shenanigans they were going for.
Earlier Yakuza games had a bunch of transphobia in them.

Warframe has the worst of the worst mobile monetization schemes and is in general terrible to get into as a new or newish player, and when I tried to get my friends to play it with me, they got legitimately angry at the game and refused to keep playing.

And I get it, because I had the exact same reaction the first time I was trying to get into it.

Mumbo Jumbo and Humba Wumba are two very racist caricatures in my favorite game, Banjo-Tooie. There is quite a bit of humor in it that hasn't aged well, really.

Final Fantasy X has some of the worst side content of any game I can think of. And I'm not even necessarily talking about blitzball. How do you make someone HATE chocobos!?

Smash ultimate has the most underwhelming and disappointing online experience of any major game in the last decade. It's such a good game it's still my GOTY in spite of those things.

The aiming in the N64 Zelda games is terrible. Especially for the archery games. Thankfully the 3DS version is much better.

Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair is fantastic... But the lack of bosses throughout the game really hurt the experience (specially when you have to face Capital B. 4 times in the titular last level)

Jedi: Fallen Order shouldn't be played by people who can only play it on console in its current state. It's got blemishes on all platforms right now, and while I personally really enjoyed the game on PC, it isn't perfect there either. Wait to play it, pending some polishing patches being put out, or until next gen consoles can maybe brute force through some of its issues via their backwards compatibility support.

Put simply: don't play this wonderful game if you can only play it on console right now.

EDIT: Another one -- as a console exclusive game and a game that follows several preceding games using similar design, Bloodborne's frame pacing issues on PS4 are inexcusable and run the entire course of the game and while it isn't fully game ruining, it is a constant bother that can at times be directly detrimental to the otherwise fantastic gameplay. FromSoft does continue to generally design really great Souls-like games but their ongoing performance issues on the console side -- and especially when working within a single platform ecosystem -- is becoming pretty inexcusable at this point. World-class, industry-influencing design that's constantly shit-stained by poor frame delivery to displays (on the console side).

I looove Xenoblade 2, but many of its female character designs are outright dogshit. LOOK. AT. PYRA'S. CHEST. What the fuck happened there? Ugh.

Alundra hasn't been ported to any modern systems and my Vita no longer works meaning there is no way I can play it :(

The attempts to disguise loading in God of War can get quite tedious (i.e. long climbing sections, selecting a realm at the middle of that bridge, going through the magic fast-travel realm).

Not what I wanted to read, but thanks. Waiting for a patch seems like wishful thinking at this point.

OT:

The Outer Worlds' lack ofdiversity in items, weapons and enemy types makes it a chore to keep doing all the side quests and story.

The armour changing to be more skimpy for female version in Dragon Age Origins is shitty and I hate it. Plus the clothes in general look weird and I prefer the clothes in DAI.

In Breath of the Wild, weapon and enemy variety is pathetic, and the armour and food systems are downright broken.

Fallout NV. Bullshit deaths due to glitches with mysterious stranger. You basically can't take the perk on a survival playthrough.

Horizon Zero Dawn's facial animations are distractingly bad.

Dragon Age: Origins suffers from two dungeons (Fade & Deep Roads) so hideously bloated and boring I use mods to skip both of them.

The story in MGS V, including cutscene direction and cinematography, is told in an absolutely terrible way. Thankfully, Death Stranding is an overall improvement on this front.

The blood vials system in Bloodborne is stupid. They should have gone the Estus Flask route.

OH, here's a recent one!

The sheer amount of cheap call deaths in Jedi Fallen Order are just awful.

Losing XP on Sekiro on death is such a silly hold over from the Souls games, and it adds absolutely nothing to the game.

Also, spirit emblems being finite, rather than just giving you a set amount every time you rest.

A nearly full grown up scared of pre-teens is just silly, sorry Rule of Rose. I still love you, don't worry.

I love VtM: Bloodlines, but the first time i finished it i ended up searching ways to break the game rather than playing it.

Suikoden I & II have some of the worst english localization in the history of video games.
Really? I want to deep in the Suikoden saga, but now i'm not so sure about it...

Love Red Dead 2 but holy shit at the terrible movement controls. Not even talking about the delays or animation prority, but just the stupid way they handle the controls for the different speeds and stuff. Highly unsatisfying and I hope someone mods all that shit and make it feel nice to control fe movement like in other major 3rd person games.
