Love - auto health or shield regen. When I first experienced that in Halo it made me instantly hate other games that didn’t have some form of that mechanic.
I hate managing health inventory items. It breaks gameplay flow with tedious bullshit that isn’t nearly as fun as focusing on the a combat mechanic.
I'm exactly the opposite. I feel like regeneration makes avoiding damage feel trivial and doesn't reward you for playing well.
You also have to wait around hiding to heal INSTEAD of playing the game. Same thing with reloading. That's why doom 2016 and eternal so good.
