Of course not counting the ones shoved down our throats by businessmen like DLC and microtransactions, which aspects of modern games do you not like the most?
For example, I find way-points to be such a bummer a lot of the times. Most games lack the sense of discovery even though games are bigger than ever. Way-points seem like a lack of confidence from the developers in their audience and themselves. Often times it feel likes they are hiding or getting away with terrible level design. Also, the most linear of games use way-points, it’s almost offensive.
Another example is rubber-band AI. Series like Need for Speed take games with a solid arcade driving engine and ruin every fucking entry with an insulting and embarrassing rubber-band AI. I’m sure the online is great and all but some people like me just want to race in a career mode. Rubber-band AI make sense in cart racers, not in racing ass driving games.
EDIT: Bought a PS4 last fall which came with Destiny The Taken King blahblah edition. Not a multiplayer guy so just played through the "story" missions and got kick out once 'cause my internet dropped. Developers please just let me play my single player bits without a connection requirement. That is madness. What happens when you shut down Destiny servers in the future...
Scary amounts of things are starting to be stored/managed server side, going back to games in the future might be a huge bummer...
