What makes you drop a game?

Not being turn based.

If OP is sucking dicks in it, I just drop that shit down a mineshaft

open world
compelling narrative

Cutscene heavy.

When the game's description brags as being hardcore and/or addictive.

>>379750247
I'm fine with it. It's fucking random encounters I can't stand.

>>379750247

Anime tropes

realistic artstyle

Boring characters. I liked DmC's combat a ton for instance, but the character I was playing gave me nothing.

>>379750247
high fantasy setting

>>379750247
Weebshit

>>379751113

>/v/ raves about it nonstop

Dude Sex and Vampire the Fagerade were pretty good early lessons. Made me skip out on Nier Miss and frankly from what I saw, I'm glad I did. Among others of low-class nature.

If you have to min/max to have a chance.

I don't want to have to autism it out, or maybe I want an all-around character.

>>379750247
>ugly/boring art direction
It's the only thing outside of technical issues that makes a game truly "awful." there's no genre of game I dislike really

>>379750713
I can't stand open world.
Like the developers said, fuck it. Walking is playing the game, people can walk and collect shit and we'll tell them we have 200 hours worth of content.

>>379751689
it's a simple fix really, just put the enemies on the overworld screen and make most of them possible to avoid

>>379751270
I haven't been able to finish a tales game since symphonia because of this.

>what is Grandia
>what is Radiant Historia

When it's obvious the devs are being tryhards in some way.

Embarrassingly edgy dialogue, super overdesigned and zany characters in a serious setting, putting "memes" into the game, overdesigning in general really, trying to be funny but failing miserably because comedic timing is nearly impossible to do in video games, shit like that.

It's instantly godawful.

>>379750247
The game's quality not outweighing its length. Like, Persona, for example. Average series, but the games are so long I just get sick of them.
>>379754207
This, too. Can't play Xenoblade for that reason.

>the only environment is a snow landscape

Instant trash. Snow landscapes are the devs saying "we are extremely EXTREMELY fucking lazy" always.

>>379750247
When a logo is stamped from EA, Boiware, and Ubisoft. Instant drop.

>game boasts hundreds and hundreds of options
>97% or so of all options are garbage

It may take a while, but I'll eventually get super tired of that once I realize it.

>>379751630
I would be fine with this if there was a good game in a high fantasy setting.

>takes place in a japanese high school

>>379757580

Too bad that's impossible since high fantasy will always be boring, generic, and awful garbage.

The only way high fantasy will ever be good is if it has elements that don't make it high fantasy anymore.

>>379756505

The UI as a whole is trying way too hard.

>>379750247
Action-based Combat

>Nerfing items in single player

STTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Casual and Otaku pandering.

When the devs/voice actors can't time certain scenes correctly.

I'll give you an example.

>cutscene
>two guys arguing
>guy A "oh yeah well you are fucking wrong you piece of shit"
>guy B "fuck you, you are the one who is wro-"
>noticable pause
>whatever interrupted guy B happens then

Game is instant trash whenever this happens. Learn how to fucking time your shit, you look like a fucking amateur you dumb pricks.

No boobs

>shitty generic old english voice acting

Move on from that. You are impressing zero fucking people if you do this game devs.

>>379756370
there's nothing wrong with that UI

there's no reason for minimalism in a 3rd person turn-based game

One big problem I have with a classic game that is near perfect is REmake. RE1's cutscenes had laughable dialogue, we can all agree to that, but it had charm because of it. It's campy and silly. In REmake though, every cutscene, every single person sounds like they are fucking bored to tears. What an awful fucking mistake.

Microtransactions.

>>379750247
When a game is trying too hard to be gritty and serious. Farcry for instance, what a piece of shit.

>>379755260
Open world works if the world is actually stuffed with a shitton of points of interest at every corner. Or in games with no objectives (sandbox, for example).

Walking across an empty plain to progress in a story, with one mildly interesting thing every 10 minutes is shit.

>>379750247
Unsatisfying boss battles. It includes many different aspects such as build up, music, the actual fight, and the results after achieving victory. Get this wrong and I drop it. One big example of a game doing it wrong is Final Fantasy 13 after the pope/monk/priest boss fight.

>>379750247
not having enough diversity or minority representation

Maybe incorporate a sneak attack/first strike mechanic so players aren't afraid to confront stronger enemies the give more exp?
Like when you jump on an enemy in the overworld of Paper Mario.

>>379750247
Too many in-game cutscenes, not enough freedoms. Bioshock was the point at which I gave up on modern FPS.

>>379772127
Armored Core. The game is unrelated to his autism though.

>>379750247
RTWP, FPS, sports. Aka homosexual faggot games.

>>379772486
This. Also games being too slow. For example, I recently dropped Hollow Knight for its pacing. I immediately picked up and enjoyed the fuck out of Momodora.

>>379763089
>Letting people's shilling ruin your non-bias judgement towards a game
Literally your own fault.

"Infinite combination! You can play this game until the day you die and never see the same thing twice!"

Translation: We slapped on a shitty proc-gen system and called it a day.

>>379750247
Souls-style combat.

By that I mean having to clunkily chip away at an enemies health while running away after every 3 or 4 swings to refill stamina and drink a health potion to fix what would have been easily dodgeable if the character responded when i actually pushed the button as opposed to waiting 1.5 seconds.

Chromatic aberration

Can't stand it
If the game doesn't have an on/off option im not playing it
