Any game that uses kernel level anti cheat, for obvious reasons.
Sorry I’m dumb. What are the reasons? You really want to cheat?
I’ll assume since I am someone else, but kernel level anti-cheat is basically Spyware, or at least a privacy concern.
Oh ok thanks
“kernel level” means the deepest level of the computer. It’s like giving a houseguest a key to the safe in your bedroom.
Yep, the other two commenters summed it up well: I’d rather not have software for a game that I play running and phoning home every time I boot my computer (in other words, a rootkit). I also am a Linux user, so they just don’t work for me.
Could also be that they are playing on Linux. Kernel level anti-cheat doesn’t work there.
Can’t play them on Linux
Most of the multiplayer ones and all of the ones that require voice chat.
There are so many interesting games I see that require internet multiplayer and voice chat. I would love to play them with friends but do not want to interact with random people in a game.
My beef is with the computer.
xbox has shadowbanned me or something so that my game chat doesn’t work. I can hear others but they can’t hear me.
I know it’s not a microphone issue because people can hear me in party chat.
This sucks
EA and Ubisoft, some kernel level anti cheat, and typically speaking, i dont enjoy games that have tower defense mechanics (and i hate when its shoehorned in, e.g Monster Hunter Rise). Korean MMOs. Mobas in general
online games.
Anything that doesn’t work on Linux
Pay to win games or games with heavy focus on in game purchases. Having an in game store to supplement development costs? Cool no problems. 5 interactions to get into a game but 1 interaction to purchase something? No thanks.
Not saying they can’t be fun. But not a practice I like to support if I can help it.
True, I had to spend money on some cosmetics on Injustice 2 once because that’s what Ed Boon wanted to put in his next DC fighting game that I read about which said he wanted to incorporate first-person shooter mechanics and trends into said game.
The first Injustice had none of that besides the downloadable content.
Sports games, most racing games, JRPGs, fighting games, party games, MMOs, soulsborne type games, precision platformers, dating sim games. None of these are inherently bad, I’ve just learned that I don’t get much out of them.
Damn, are you me?
yea
I’m curious what Soulsborne games you’ve tried? I was absolutely certain they weren’t for me, but I finally broke down and tried Dark Souls 3 cooperatively with friends. Not only is it my favorite genre now, but playing it that way was also the best gaming experience of my life.
Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, and God Of War. The genre just isn’t for me. I am bad at, and get frustrated with trying to get perfect timing against enemies to trade melee attacks. Simple as. The genre isn’t inherently bad, but I recognize when something isn’t for me.
Completely fair. I was pretty bad at them too, but the cooperative experience definitely flattened that curve!
99.999% of them. I don’t desire variety. Give me one good game and I’ll waste infinite hours with it for the next 15 years. The newest game I’ve played is from 2018
I’d love it you’d name a few. I like games you can get lost in for hours and always looking for others I may have missed.
Age of Empires 2, Minecraft, Cities Skylines, GTA series, DayZ
Anything episodic or with an online social component. Basically anything that leeches significant time from my life. I don’t want to be in my deathbed thinking about how many thousands of hours I spent on various games.
People bragging about having 5,000+ hours in a single video game make me deeply sad.
I think its quite cool if you still enjoy something after so many hours.
Any game mobile advertised on Youtube, if it was good they would not need to advertise
At the moment basically anything competitive/ranked. I don’t want to compete online anymore because I know that I’ll have to go on an insane grind to get good. Only exception is trackmania because it somehow doesn’t upset me quite like other ranked online games. But even then I only play the “arcade” mode and not ranked
Oh, interesting. Why doesn’t it upset you? Any particular mechanism?
I think it’d because the Trackmania arcade mode doesn’t really let you affect anyone else. Everyone in the server is obviously trying to go as fast as possible,and to a degree also get as high up on the session leaderboard as possible, but you can’t ruin each others laps. And while finishing high on the session leaderboard is nice, the overall goal for everyone is to get a good enough time on the map in general. To beat your own PB, to get all medals. So essentially the real opponent is your past self. This leads people to get quite cooperative. Having discussions about how to tackle certain parts of the track, congretulating each other with setting a new PB, etc.
Playing against random people and especially with random people in other competitive games seems to generally get toxic. People blaming you for ruining their game, people getting mad. To me it’s very stressful. Even if I know that it shouldn’t affect me, and I’m never going to meet them again, it still does affect me negatively
sports games, always online games, games with denuvo still on, mmo, party games, shooter games where the main focus is PvP, picture-puzzle games, find-in-picture games, games with 30% or more QTE that is not rhythm games
Closed-source games.
Fortnite. Noped right out of that one.
Moba, mmorpg, and COD
Same. Until valve made deadlock. Damn you valve
