I inserted a physical copy of Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater in my PS5, get it setup to copy the game and install the update. I then put my PS5 into rest mode. I boot up my PS5 four hours later and copying is at 10%.

What grinds your gears?

When the game doesn't auto-pause when the batteries of the gamepad run out.

Probably doesn't happen on console since I guess the system message comes up and that pauses the game, but on PC some games just keep running like nothing happened and it sucks.

Not having enough time for gaming.

Sucks to be a PC gamer but let me tell you one thing about the "auto pause" of the consoles for a certain type of games that I happen to spend hundreds or thousands of hours on them…

Multiplayer trophies for games with turned off servers.

 

[semiconscious]

a sequel so indistinguishable from the original game that you wish you'd just saved your money & replayed the original...

 

[R3TRO]

Bad battery life.

I love my dualsense edge but what the fuck.

Multiple endings in games, especially when there's 5 6 7 endings... I find like why stop there have 20 endings, it just cheapens a story when it's constantly what if, what if this, what if that... Just give me an ending, a story only needs one ending imo

on console it also depends on the devs to implement an auto-pause on disconnect. many do it, but it's not a universal thing.
obvious exceptions are of course the soulsborne games, as they literally can not be paused, just like many souls-likes and souls-lites

I mean.. why would you turn the system off when you're reading from the disc to install though?

I dont bother, so I dont know if it's changed lately but to play a UBI beta, you got to sign up for a UBI account.

But in general, any game that requires an email profile to play is a big turn off.

For you guys talking battery life above, Xbox play and charge kits are trash. I stopped buying them. They last 3-4 years before never holding a charge. So to work, you got to constantly have it plugged in for power. So it now becomes a wired gamepad. They'd cost $30 CDN too.

After the last one died, I just went back to AA batteries and bought a 48 pack of Kirkland Costco batteries for like $15. Way better. And I can use those batteries for other things around the house that need AA too.

That thing on some RPGs that when you are trying all paths to find treasure and stuff but by mistake it happens that you go on the correct route the first time which triggers a boss fight/cutscenes which then takes you out of the map and you cant go back

I thought in rest mode, the disc drive would still "copy", kind of like how games still download while in rest mode.

Console gaming changing things that aren't broken and moving in the wrong direction post-PS2.
The PS2's weaknesses are significant load times and high game development costs.
PlayStation's focus PS2-forward should have been on decreasing load times and decreasing game development costs.
PS2 games with near-zero load times and PS1 games without load times would be in many ways be better than what we have in PS5 games with significant load times.
