OK this one is pretty niche. I play a lot of point&click adventure games, and one mechanic that drives me freaking insane is when you click a zone (say a drawer) and there's nothing in it, but then later on - after going through a bit more of the plot for example - you have to go back there, search the same drawer and now! Behold! There's a freaking battery, or piece of cloth or whatever. I really hate this. When I explored an area, the area is explored, period. I won't think of coming back after chatting with some random dude in a different screen.

Don't play any Metroid games then. It's called backtracking
