Great Games. Rubbish Mechanic. (feddit.uk)

We've all played them. Games that live long in the memory; games that dominate your every waking moment for weeks at a time and games that you'd replay over and over again if you had the time....

But what I want to know is this..Have you ever played a game that you loved, but had to work around the fact that one of the games core mechanics was just... kinda trash?

For context, I'm currently working through the excellent Bloodborne. I can see why it's largely considered the best one of those games, and potentially one of the best games released in the last decade.....at the same time I cannot abide the way the game handles healing and health vials.

What about you.

Persona 4 Golden is one of the most influential games I've played in terms of the music, characters and story, and the time in my life during which I played it. However...

The dungeon crawling is just so rote and repetitive to me. The random generation in that game is just shit, boring hallway after boring hallway, I put it on easy and just struggled to remain engaged for those portions of the game, but I would still say it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Persona is a series I enjoyed despite the gameplay and not because of it.
