F*** you and your stupid f***ing grey hand, clock tower in Fez. Hit while I'm at work will you?

Feel free to express your dislike of whatever game mechanics you feel.

Timed events make me die inside in general. I like to just chill and explore.

I'm with you, man. I don't like timed events in most games.

I really hated it in Uncharted 2 or 3 (I forget) when I was trying to figure out a puzzle and the game had a pop-up asking if I wanted to skip the puzzle. And when I said no, Sully freaking blurts out the answer anyway.

Yeah, games repeatedly trying to bombard you with hints and the solution while you're trying to solve a puzzle is irritating. Uncharted particularly is bad about that.

This, timed everything should be banned from everything ever.

A big reason why I could never get into Valkyrie Profile.

I hate RPGs with puzzle rooms that don't disable battles.

I kind of prefer running around and trying different things when I'm thinking of a solution, and getting into battles in the middle of that ruins my concentration.

XD what? I had no idea such a feature existed. Uncharted puzzles aren't difficult >_>

I'll agree that I hate timed events. The worst.

I also hate when you're trying to solve something and enemies keep popping up.

I wouldn't even really call the clock tower in Fez a puzzle. It has four hands that move at different speeds, and when each one hits 12 it makes a cube appear, so all you have to do is be there to collect the cube when it appears. Problem is that two of the hands, green and grey, only hit the 12 once a day and about once a week respectively.

Just go offline and set the time to whatever you need. That puzzle isn't great but least there's a quick way to do it. Also I thought the green hand hit once a day

That's what I ended up doinng, I just don't like the fact that I have to, and you're right the green hand is once a day.

I want someone who genuinely likes timed events to post in here so that we can laugh at their masochism.

Agree with almost everything except the ones about Pikmin and Valkyrie Profile.

If it's built into the main premise of the game, it's cool.

I prefer Pikmin 1 because I like the sense of urgency and difficulty it adds. You if you get a ton of your pikmin killed, it has real consequences because you have to budget a large chunk of, or even a whole in-game day to replenishing your forces.
