One thing I've picked up on that I especially hate is when a cut scene has you press buttons solely for the sake of interactivity, i.e. they don't utilize game mechanics. "Press X to..." in a situation that you will never encounter again or press X again in. Like the cut scene isn't teaching you a mechanic, it's just making you pay attention.
