andysheets1975: Gameplay that confuses immersion and busywork with fun - e.g., the driving sections and planet scanning in Mass Effect. I feel what they were trying to do was to hearken back to the exploratory stuff in games like Starflight, but a lot of it is NOT FUN and therefore makes me want to turn the game off.
I actually liked the driving sections in ME1, but the scanning in ME2 was... I don't know who thought that would be a good idea.
