This is the biggest red flag out there in the recent years. Early demos or alpha beta tests are usually fine. Early access however means it will take years for it to actually launch, that is if the devs are even planning to ditch the early access tag tag.
Other than that I am extremely cautious of rogue-like/lite and procedural generation tags as well.

Call me a fag but weapon durability in action games and crafting in general.

Nothing makes me angrier. For once I just want their illogical feelings path to end miserably because it was pragmatic or even remotely possible. Friendship winning the day is fine, but not when it's the main character's primary weapon especially when they're an annoying douche that nobody would like in the first place.

Unsatisfying boss battles which involves a mix of engaging with the boss and the outcome of the battle. Get this aspect wrong and I drop it without question. It doesn't necessarily refer to difficulty either. Easy bosses can still be satisfying.

Unnecessary backtracking is distinct from interesting level design and progress by virtue of being lazy.

>>378299284
1. There is no such thing as unnecessary backtracking except voluntarily
2. The problem you profess to be bothered by does not in fact even exist - literally
3. Backtracking en route to progression is not necessarily lazy design
4. There are other, more egregious, more important forms of design laziness you don't point out, and in all probability have no conception of whatsoever
5. Progression need not take place in 'interesting level design' continually, in order to occur
6. Backtracking is not necessarily uninteresting

In conclusion, thank you for replying to me today and I want you to know that while I respect your right to an opinion, your opinion is based entirely on subjective bias and zero empirical analysis.

>the easiest way to beat the game is not the most fun.
>the challenging part is not actually what you need to do to win.
So basically any hack n slash where beating the game is easy as fuck brainless button spamming but doing cool combos that are completely unnecessary/don't even help is what people find fun. Or shitty 3d Platformers that a toddler could beat but people claim it's hard or challenging because of collection's or achievement bullshit.

I have a dilemma where I only enjoy games that do something unique (from my perspective) with their gameplay. If it's just a small mechanic here & gimmick there then I'll hardly touch it before dropping it, the more unique it is, the more I'll play it. Is there a name for this, aside from the broadly-interpreted term "autism"?

I have played shitfuckingtons of games & can hardly go on, I feel backed into a corner with nothing I wanna play, & I can't just let go of gaming as I've grown dependent on them to pass the time, as much as I'm reducing gaming lately.

>>378302010
why people wanna hear ching chong they don't understand

>>378302094
Bad acting you can understand is worse than bad acting you can't understand.

>>378302094
I do understand it, that is why I only import my games now. I don't speak Russian or Polish but I play STALKER and The Witcher in the original voices as well, it just doesn't make sense to me to consume something in anything but the form it was intended to be consumed in, or as close to as possible.

>>378302152
>>378302193
The only thing about that is the subtitles don't always match accurately or they're just plain shitty subtitles. People think because they hear the original voices that they're also getting the original lines, but you're not, and that shit is usually watered down. The English voices at least try to evoke something from characters and add more depth to the lines.

>>378302193
but the games were translated officially, how is it you aren't intended to consume it with english, and especially if japanese voices aren't included?

>>378302319
>but the games were translated officially
Anyone that knows Japanese can tell you "official" dubs are all a joke. When the game was created, it was created for a Japanese audience, not a Western one. The dub isn't even considered by the dev in most cases, it's just something the publisher does for gaijin shekels.

Why doesn't the Japanese release have an English dub included? For the same reason Western devs don't put Japanese dubs in their games, it is not intended for Japanese.
