Games ruined by stupid crap?

Button mashing goes to the younger player 90% of the time. If the age gap is 10 years or more there's absolutely no chance for the geezer. We have to overcome it with wisdom and experience

With every passing year I become more grateful for cheat engine.

I was gonna say wisdom, experience, and also macros

Can't believe I didn't think of macros for the button smashing. Never use them much so I didn't think of it, thanks for the tip!

Mastering macros is an elite PC gamer move. One of my characters in Diablo 3 had an ability that mega increased his defense but only if you press 3 every eight seconds. Which is ridiculous. Didn't feel bad about using a macro on that one at all.

In any kind of PvP stuff though I never use macros etc. that aren't built into the game.

I hate it that every fighting game released is not the complete edition anymore. They are the starter pack.

QTEs. I used to just hate them for being annoying but now that I'm older and am having neuropathy issues they can be an absolute game breaker for me. Really grateful they're adding options to bypass QTEs and button smashing events to games lately. It turns them from unplayable to enjoyable for me.

Yeah, its not like mashing a button simulates the feeling of opening a giant stone door or whatever anyways.

What about when games do that thing where the character slowly shimmies through a tight gap or under a log or something. I know sometimes it's to hide loads but sometimes it's not and that bothers me.
