I have two.

1. The Culture

I do not claim to be a 'gamer'. I prefer to be best described as someone who plays games, but not nearly as often as one branded a 'gamer' would play games by. But I've been partly turned off from video games because of the culture surrounding them. The streamers who play games, the RGB droolers, the tech-junkies, the whales, the hype-train types, the multi-hour essay level of delivering an opinion on a game .etc

Not to mention, all of the gamer-branded merchandise from chairs to even drinks. It just turns me off and I do not ever associate with that crowd and it's a damn shame there is so much gullibility with the culture that it is difficult to avoid.

2. Game-Padding

Side-quest after side-quest does a game not make. That kind of thing is what you'd find in an MMO that needs to find things for you to do. Not in a more constrained container of a game that has a fixed story, a fixed completion rate and everything. All it tells me is that the developers did not think of or have had any faith in what they were making.
