If there's one thing that can make me quit a game almost immediately, it's unexpected and cheap game over's leading to a ton of replaying. It happened to me most recently in both Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia, two games I've avoided since.
Save points are the biggest piece of sh*t design still around in games. Die, please!

No kidding. Remember passcodes? I literally had a notepad FULL of 24-digit codes for all the games I played. The sad thing is, developers continued to use this method until like 2005 or so, then it just pretty much stopped altogether.
