15 Dumbest Video Game Mechanics

UNPAUSABLE CUTSCENES

This is an issue that has become more prevalent as games have become more accomplished as a storytelling medium. Longer cutscenes are much more commonly found in games than they were two decades ago, and not having the ability to pause the game during these cutscenes can be pretty annoying. Want to get a bite to eat, or check your phone while one of these cutscenes is playing? Well, tough luck. Even worse are the cutscenes that immediately skip as soon as you press the pause button, so even testing to see if the cutscenes can be paused becomes a gamble in and of itself.
