Lots of things:
- Poor level design
- Invisible walls/points you should be able to pass or jump over but can't
- Segments where traversing an area successfully is more down to luck then any actual skill (I'm looking at you God of War 1)
- Poor camera angles
- Terrible ally AI, especially in linear games where they just stand in the way of doors, don't shoot at enemies running past their field of view, push you out of cover etc.
- Cheap enemy AI e.g. where they recognise you from inconceivable distances, constant grenade flushing etc.
- Horrible difficulty curves. I don't want to find it easy one minute only to die multiple times on the next area.
- Save points. Just allow us to save anywhere.
- Poorly placed checkpoints
- Unskippable cutscenes especially when combined with a checkpoint/save point placed just before said unskippable cutscene.
- Poorly implemented cutscenes.
- Hand-holding throughout a game. I don't mind helping progress but the messages and the indicators become annoying after a while.
- Bugs and glitches that prevent you from completing a task.
- Lack of mod support on PC.
- Piss Poor Ports on any system.
