The only thing I really watch out for with games is the nature of the press surrounding it. If most of what's being said amounts to a big social justice debate and if the word "inclusive" is bandied around more often than "fun" or "exciting," I avoid it at all costs.

I got it immediately after it came out. The online was a fucking mess for days and even after that. I loved it but once I started to play online, it was a mess. Nothing would connect. Out of all the things you fuck up on Halo, it's the multiplayer.

I think it's fine in moderation, or if the game has a way for your character to learn the weapon and adjust to being proficient with it. That's perfectly fine. When your entire gameplay focuses on limiting the player rather than designing the game to be challenging itself, then thats a huge problem for me.

MMO
Roguelike

I know that last one will make some people angry. It's cool if you like them, but they're just not for me. I just don't play games for the gameplay, I want to be building towards something, I want that shit to matter otherwise I could just kill time by fapping to /d/-games. The nature of Roguelikes runs counter to that sense of progress.

MMOs are just shit in general though. Only one I like is Secret World because you can solo that motherfucker, but then you get to the endgame which is just dungeons and raiding like all MMOs and I'm like "who gives a shit?"

Anime's not inherently shit. You can tell a boring game by a generic moe artstyle that looks like any Korean iPhone game. Danganronpa, Nier, Disgaiea, etc.: ok

SURROUND SOUND AUDIO!

What's that, you're not looking DIRECTLY AT the character on the screen who's talking. I guess we'll have to make it as quiet as possible so as not to upset your lack of object permanance.
But wait, you actually, care about the story? Ok, We'll put subtitles that are completely out of sync and spoil scenes for you.

A close second:
Game pretends it's audio was triggered by character input!
"Hey, I'm the old chinese chief of this western setting village and I'm going to not only drop a wall of exposition on you, but needlessly act like I'm responding to your reactions to this tory even though you're not even touching the controller.

Or better yet
"Press A to examine this object?" What a an outaded novelty. You're player character should just immediately commented on it as soon as the object is visible on the screen! Cause who needs a tactile active decision to look at something, when you can just start hearing comments about it before you even knew it exists

EA and Ubisoft do it and then sometimes patch offline in later, Need for Speed 2015, Star Wars Battlefront, Hitman 2016 had saving problems offline, DOOM if you used Vulkan, I think also Diablo 3 even though it can be played singleplayer

so basically any game that has always on DRM even if it has a singleplayer mode

"Open world with crafting".

Actually, just "crafting". If such a minor gameplay aspect is so important you have to slather it all over the game's advertising, it doesn't speak well for what else is actually there.

That's a buzzword thrown around more often by people trying to disparage a game. The term you're looking for is Cinematic Experience, with devs trumpeting their cinematic experiences for all the world to see. It was really funny when the people behind The Order said it should be judged as a cinematic experience rather than a game to deflect criticism so RLM tore it a new asshole on the merits of their experience with the cinematic experience.

Seriously, Blizz designing a game means not only will it never be balanced, but they will take for fucking ever to respond to player feedback and the technical side of the game like matchmaking will be fucking terrible.

Watching the trainwreck with is Overwatch repeatedly fail at being an esport despite their "best" efforts is hilarious though.
