Whatever they are, they infuriate me. Pushing the stick forward and the character suddenly responds at 1/3 speed never feels not frustrating. I'd actually be cooler with a sudden loading screen.

They're far less prevelant in games now. The real enemy is now crawl spaces.
The newest enemy for me was God Of War upping the ante to slow climbing + exposition dump. Even slower and somehow more face-meltingly boring than the original version.
Don't care, gimme splitscreen. I don't give a solitary fart about online MP.
Personally the most annoying for me is "character helps a character climb up thing, and then is helped by that character." So prevalent in ND games.
I hate Naughty Dog-isms in general so I'm with you on that one as well. I can excuse it in Resi 4, which may be the originator of that one, because well, it's an incredibly fun game.
Also, fuck "character talks to themselves in a completely stupidly transparent hint system fashion". I remember playing Uncharted for the first time and my character doing that and immediately looking for a way to turn that shit off in the Options menu.
Disagree. Silent protagonists greatly help my sense of immersion in every instance. Especially in RPGs or games like Dishonored
This is absolutely true. Markers and glowing objectives focus the majority of attention on the map and turn a game into a connect-the-dots. But the worst variety of crutch is the servile hand-holding NPCs that tell you precisely what to do rather than let you figure anything out for yourself. Like.. what's even the point? How are people not offended by this?
