What makes you immediately lose interest in a game before you even buy/pirate it?
For me: it's Early Access open world survival with crafting. That's literally all I need to see to know the game is shit.
open world
encumbrance system
>Best gun is a sniper rifle
Sniping is the antithesis of fun for everyone involved.
"Retro-style"
"Old school"
If I want to play old games, I'll go play old games.

be it mindless or autismo.
Permadeath
>>386577920
A transgender simulator with dilation and stent maintenance.
>>386579010
Would you say that about games where sniping is basic premise, eg. Sniper Elite?
>>386579327
Probably, but that's different.
It's more multiplayer games where it becomes a problem.
>>386579281
Why are you not kickstarting this right now? Put it up and email every lefty news rag about it.
>>386579281
I'm afraid to ask, what is dilation and stent maintenance? and does it affect m2f or f2m
Single-player FPS games with a score or combo system.
FEAR 3 and Darkness 2. In the fuckin' bin with both of you.
>>386577920
>Open world
>Towers
>Collectables
>Filler quests
merchants with limited currency
Unskippable cutscenes (or cutscenes that more or less require being watched)
Whenever a game shows off cutscenes or other movie shit as a main component of the game then they've pretty much lost me then and there. Only exceptions that come to mind are ace combat 4 and mother 3, both had GOAT stories though.
>>386577920
>mmo
I kinda want to know this now, genuinely.
Looking to make a game, got a few ideas, but not sure which to start actually developing.
Or hell, if anyone's got any suggestions
>>386577920
3rd Person Action/Shooter
Almost always means instant trash.
>>386577920
All you have to say is "crafting" for me these days. Anything with zombies as the focus also goes straight into the round file.
>>386577920
PC ports that have game pad buttons as default.
"Inspired by Earthbound" is a sure sign of a game being shit, because absolutely none of the fuckers saying that understand what made Earthbound good except MAYBE Undertale.
>>386577920
>female protagonist
>>386579010
Maybe if you're not good lol

>this
everyone wants to be the fucking skilled sniper xD, fuck those people im a proud smg rusher
>>386581712
Honestly I think what made Earthbound good was the story and the unique and eccentric characters. The gameplay really wasn't that fun but you felt like you were making a difference as the game progressed.

unfinished buggy pieces of shit where most of the budget is spent on marketing.
bunch of dlc

Hm

Anything turn based

Needless to say I have not bought a full price game in years.

They're gonna fuck it up. They're gonna fuck it up. They're gonna fuck it up and it won't even be actually back to the roots.
>start of big questline
>you have to go through the 6 temples and fight the 6 macguffin crystals
Temples 2-5 feel like a chore when you know they're just fodder between the first and last temples.
Loot crates
How do people feel about ant colony sims, like dwarf fortress/rimworld?
>>386577920
That really boring art-style that every generation has in at least 60% of its games. 6th gen had that cartoony flat textures look and the 7th gen had that glossy greys and greens look. I can't be fucked with any of them
>>386583376
>>386583376
I can't believe this would actually be put into a game unless it was to try and dispellel thoughts that the resulting product was somehow racist or sexist, or more likely just covering their ass against those claims for when the game is seen as such.
>>386577920
Don't forget zombies
>>386583376
>and gender identities
That wasn't on the first few Ass Creeds was it?
>>386577920
Cliche mellow dramatic story that tries to be overly serious and thought provoking.
>>386583847
>What is every Final Fantasy game
>>386583376
Where that "WOW, ITS FUCKING NOTHING" picture when I need it? I don't care if the game was made by an all black male chapter of the KKK
>>386583776
They keep adding to it. Who knows how long it'll be in a few more years.
>>386579010
snipers are fucking shit and i hate them. Dying in one shot to someone pissfar away makes me angry more than anything
>>386583938
What is everything made for teenagers?
>>386581712
Undertale wasn't even that good. Soundtrack was interesting not god level. And I wanna say this I really wanted to like it because it's nice when you like the popular things but I didn't really. Playing through it was a chore when I realised I have so many games I can't be bothered to spend one more minute playing something I don't wholeheartedly enjoy. I reached 80% of the game or so and quit.
>>386577920
Usually a combination of:
>open world
>survival
>crafting
BotW was surprising because I actually enjoyed it despite it having all of these elements, normally in similar games I get bored about 1/4-1/2 of the way in.
Other red flags include:
>early access
>Microtransactions (although I can live with them if they're only cosmetic)
>zombies
>>386577920
survival game
encumbrance system
simulation (unless it's a driving, piloting simulator)
>>386583376
This was only thrown on the first AC so people wouldn't throw a fit over the negative portrayal of the church. Not sure why they needed to keep adding to it but it's not that big of a deal.
In fps/tps games at least, bullet sponge enemies. I can't stand that shit and it's even more annoying when the game's harder difficulties just and only ramp up enemy hp.
I can understand some enemies having more health than others due to lore or whatever it may be but having to empty a mag into your everyday joe soldier's head just to put a dent into his health pool is infuriating.
>>386577920
>can't rename the protagonist
>unskippable tutorials
>>386585015
No it wasn't. The original disclaimer only stated that it was made by a team of various religions and faiths. It wasn't so people wouldn't throw a fit over the church, but to give some sort of comfort to people who would go in thinking that the game being based during the Crusades would be biased against any one of the factions represented or make some kind of statement about religion. And it stayed that way all up through Unity. The whole "gender identity" and "sexual orientation" thing got added in for Syndicate.
>>386579010
never played halo custom edition then
>>386579808
It's where a boy with a surgically inverted penis has to cram something into the hole in his pelvis on a regular basis to prevent the hole from collapsing
Micro transactions, period.
Day one dlc.
Rushed.
Uninspired and nothing new to the table.
Lazy devs.
>>386579808
M2f their vag is literally a wound that is trying to close so they she to shove a rod in it to keep it open, the more you know
>>386583847
>mellow dramatic
>>386586307
This is the 5 key rule before purchasing any game nowadays for me.
The whole gaming industry is fucking terrible.
>>386582078
>dies
>huh, better try that again
>it just keeps happening!
>>386578897
prefer encumbrance over inventory size
If its over 30gb then I won't pirate it, with exception of Fallout and GTA.
3d porn "games" are always trash, and are usually just model posers.
steam release of an old game
indie games in general, because
A: too many updates, because they're never a finished product
B: too many bugs, and shallow gameplay
>hero
>shooter
>>386586734
Nice comic
>>386577920
Roguelike.
Even Dead Cells.
My friend keeps telling me how good it is and I don't doubt it. I just can't stand the concept of permadeath.
>>386583376
Immediately droppedor at least pirated.
I've literally gone full embargo on any of this including but not limiting to movies and books.
>>386577920
Indie. I assume it's shit until I see *piles* of evidence otherwise.
