Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious, often requiring significant time investment to gather resources like ammo, which respawns in the same location at long intervals. This repetitive task detracts from the overall enjoyment, making the game feel dull and monotonous.
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“This made a dull game incredibly tedious as you would often run out of ammo, then have to do a lap around the parking lot before being able to collect ammo (which would drop in the same spot every 45 seconds or so).”
