10 TINY Issues That Made You Hate Great Recent Video Games
10. No Quit To Desktop - Elden Ring
Now, Elden Ring certainly isn't the only game guilty of this, but it is the one that's been pissing countless PC players off with it as of late.
For reasons that remain unclear, the PC version of FromSoftware's otherwise incredible action-RPG lacks a simple "Quit to desktop" option in its menu.
Rather than pressing ESC and being able to quit the game with a single click, you're forced to quit to the main menu, sit through two splash screens, wait for the online connection to load, and only then can you finally exit the game.
It can take around 20 seconds to do what any PC game should let you do in no more than one or two - terminate the session and get on with the rest of your day.
It might sound like a nitpick - and, yes, that's really what this list is all about - but it's also a minor annoyance that becomes deeply irritating once you've sunk dozens or even hundreds of hours into this thing over innumerable play sessions.
For such a wonderfully polished game, it's a bafflingly clunky piece of UI design.
