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
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
League
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
Anything that doesn’t work on Linux
Any game that uses kernel level anti cheat, for obvious reasons.
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.
Anything from Ubisoft. I’ll still consider an EA game. It’s that fucking bad the garbage that Ubisoft puts out and the shitty practices they hold towards the people who have been fans forever and monetarily supporting them.
Fuck them.
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
I echo a lot of the sentiments expressed by others about avoiding games from bad publishers or games employing milking practices, avoiding multiplayer and toxic people, overly hard games, and many other points already stated.
My two things that are different are that I enjoy hard games so long as the reset is instant or near instant. Like Katana Zero and Hotl8ne Miami. Without that I don’t want any part of a hard game. I get it, I died, let me try again already. So fuck games with long reset times.
And more unusual is I really don’t like most isometric games but especially clicky isometrics. If I can’t wander freely with WASD, fuck it, I’m out. Not going to sit here going clickclickclickclickclickclick just to go half a screen and open a chest. Fucking hate overly clicky shit like that with a passion. I also dont like how up is more like diagonal up and left is diagonal up etc. It’s just annoying. My only exceptional has been project zomboid.
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.
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!
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.
Any game mobile advertised on Youtube, if it was good they would not need to advertise
Soulsborne type games
Games feeling like a chore and force me to ‘get good’ in order to enjoy them? Miss me with that shit, or at least pay me for it.
Online games
Same as above, plus annoying people who take the whole thing too seriously.
Wrong comment.
