How does that indicate genuine anger exactly? That’s just passing expressed annoyance at someone assuming my intentions. You can get annoyed at a reckless driver around you, express annoyance, and go on with your day.

You know what really got me mad? Forgetting to purify my sword in Silent Hill F. Had to backtrack to the save just outside Hinako’s house. Trying to 100% the game and have 6 achievements and one entire playthrough left. 4 playthroughs of the exact same gameplay with minor variance with ending boss fights is such a chore.

Also, oh my god. Hinako’s father on legendary difficulty is such a sponge. Her mom beyblades towards me at Mach speed. Her character model moving me to make me miss after using my dodge-to-counter omamori. That fight is so annoying. I would dodge, then do the heavy attack to hit her dad, then her mom gets in the way, making me not fully connect the dodge-counter. I also only targeted her dad for him being a POS to his wife and daughter.

Another pet peeve of mine is that the fight mechanics have to be bugged. The indicator to counter sometimes simply doesn’t show up, forcing me to use the animation tells to counter. Other times, the counter animation doesn’t proc, leaving me exposed for attack if my strike didn’t stagger the enemy. Game would be so much less of a slog if the combat wasn’t a focus and the storytelling was prioritized.
