CoD, overwatch, sports games, free to play games, casino games.
I’m gonna make a microtransaction-laden gambling trap competitive multiplayer dating sim, get EA to publish it, and title it “🖕”
I think that’s just called “reality”.
All multiplayer games for over a decade
People are assholes and I just wanna have fun
Online multiplayer and soulslike games
More pvp souls for me weee
Games made by Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft, or Paradox.
online games.
Anything from EA, Microsoft, or Ubisoft.
Remember when all three of these companies used to be great 20 years ago? Such a shame how far they’ve fallen.
I’m playing Beyond Good & Evil on GameCube for the first time, and this game is an absolute gem. Makes me miss how great Ubisoft used to be. They started turning into hostile trash somewhere around ten years ago.
Microsoft was always cold blooded, you probably just weren’t aware of it. Microsoft lost an anti-trust case and was almost broken up in 1998 for its practices, but appealed and came to an agreement with the government.
Add Sony too
Multiplayer games that require invasive anticheat or really long games that take 100+ hours to complete.
Anything Nintendo. Fuck Nintendo.
Anything with a subscription is a no for me. I think subscription games are less popular than they used to be, but I never played WoW because paying every month seemed excessive to me.
Most shooters. Especially like CoD. Not interested. I enjoy the original doom, but that’s cartoony violence fighting demons. Some of the far cry games I’ve enjoyed, with some reservations.
Almost all free to play games. They don’t feel like an honest deal most of the time. Like, Warframe was good somehow. But a lot of them feel predatory or annoying.
Purely pvp games. No mobas or battle royales for me. I don’t want to deal with other people like that. A little pvp in a game, like dark souls, is fine. But I’m not looking for that to he the main thing, typically.
Roguelikes. The infinite replayability and computer generated design are fatiguing to me. Seems like most of the reasons why people like them are the exact reasons I don’t. 🤷♂️
For me it’s the fact that most of them aren’t actually able to be beaten on any given run.
- Anything from EA.
- Anything from Ubisoft
- Anything Epic exclusive.
- Anything with Denuvo (or whatever is the next intrusive DRM).
- Anything competitive PvP multiplayer.
- Anything “free” to play.
- Probably almost all general multipler & live service by now - or otherwise full of dark patterns to keep me “engaged”.
I don’t find myself “engaged,” I find myself wanting to spend money for something that will bore me the next week.
There is a reason I’ve mostly played single player games for the past decade.
I was tired of the “seasons” and micro transactions when I just wanted a story. If the story was good, I’d be ok with purchasing an expansion upon it. I remember my first expansion pack, Warcraft 2, played over a phone line. It felt worth it.
For more modern games, The Witcher 3 DLC felt like proper expansion packs. I have no bad feelings about those.
But just adding a few cosmetic items? Fuck off.
Any game that uses kernel level anti cheat, for obvious reasons.
Sorry I’m dumb. What are the reasons? You really want to cheat?
Can’t play them on Linux
I’ll assume since I am someone else, but kernel level anti-cheat is basically Spyware, or at least a privacy concern.
Oh ok thanks
“kernel level” means the deepest level of the computer. It’s like giving a houseguest a key to the safe in your bedroom.
People really don’t understand just how invasive this is. At that point, if it was programmed to, it could pretend to obey your uninstall directive, while actually overriding your attempts to uninstall the game.
Yep, the other two commenters summed it up well: I’d rather not have software for a game that I play running and phoning home every time I boot my computer (in other words, a rootkit). I also am a Linux user, so they just don’t work for me.
Could also be that they are playing on Linux. Kernel level anti-cheat doesn’t work there.
Multiplayer anything, dating sims, roguelikes. I will play single player games that offer multiplayer but never the multiplayer part. Oh and gatcha games, waifu collectors, etc. and anything p2w. Fuck that noise.
What’s wrong with rougelikes in your opinion? I don’t usually seek them out, but for a good while I was super addicted to Binding of Isaac. I think the gameplay loop is pretty fun.
The rest of your comment I agree with wholeheartedly.
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.
Squad has this problem for the first 5 mins in the pregame bit before you can leave the base.
Most of the interactions I’ve had after that period have been pretty positive
My beef is with the computer.
xbox has shadowbanned me or something so that my game chat doesn’t work. I can hear others but they can’t hear me.
I know it’s not a microphone issue because people can hear me in party chat.
This sucks
