>>736591054Well, I typed “holy ADHD” but then failed the captcha and didn’t wanna sit here and wait for 30 seconds so I went and worked on a song I’m making for like 20 minutes instead, so I probably don’t have the right to say that anymore kek.
I don't have a single "biggest", just a few that makes me almost never buy the game:- Reddit/Marvel writing- Unneeded remakes- Politically correct world in a world where said political correctness does not make sense- Censored re-releases/remasters/localisations (does not matter what is censored. Blood, sex, religious references, it's all the same to me)
>>736590726>gameplay mechanics are a shitty ripoff of another game
NPCs who won't shut up.Things that could've just been a cinematic like characters walking slowing while talking including the parts where they're NOT talking. Just walking. In silence. Oh, here's Mr. Magumba. Hello, Mr. Magumba! So anyway, as I was saying, you're the only hope for our world. See all these children around? They're our future.
Soulslop
You know those semi-gameplay in engine cutscenes where you are still "playing" but the only input the game will accept is like holding forward or whatever? They make me quit the game.
Established game series holding your hand for every new game instead of allowing established players to opt-out of begginer shit by simply selecting "I have played this series before" or "I have play games like this before"Games pretending that giving an enemy more health or making them have more damage is the same as making the enemy more difficultSubscription games having a cash shopBeing able to buy player powerEarly access titles not only being for sale but advertised on the platform selling itBroken dev promises that have no reason to be brokenScale and scope of a game being massive just to say its massiveAbandonwareDRMMost 'gamers' playing 1-2 games and thinking thats the same thing as someone who actively plays multiple games from multiple genrresa lack of region lockingnot being able to put in something akin to an age-range youd like to play with to avoid hearing childrennintendo suing everyone all the fucking timeWhy are idle games a fucking thing?

The only allowable exception I can think of is if the adverts arent for real products on actual earth and are only for ingame shops / locations / items.Remakes of beloved classics that ruin the story, characters or setting.Lazy remakes of any game.Calling a thing a remake when it's not (im looking at you FF7)lazy pixel remastersrefusal to let players play offline

>>736595548fortunately this is censored so I don't see anything explicit
>>736590726You die on boboss and have to redo entire section leading up to it AND watch an unskippable cutscenes
>>736590726Games that force you follow an NPC but lack a “walk along” feature. Example, you have to follow someone in Skyrim, but your standard walking speed is too fast so you have to idle and wait for them to move a bit before catching up but if you wait to long before moving, they just stop. And while the game has a "walk" speed option by pressing CAPS, it makes you slower than a normal NPC's walk speed, making it useless unless you're tired of holding W to move forward while exploring.I know some games solve this having a system in place to make you walk the same speed of NPC, during story moments, and I wish more games did that or just made the walk toggle match NPCS standard movement speed.

>>736590726"on eck"
>>736594868Fighting games are one of the genres that can handle it well. Problem is most publishers do not. Under Night II's season pass was complementary if you bought the game in the first 3 or so months that it came out. We just now got a season 2. That's pretty damn nice, but other companies just use it to charge you for future content up front and have to spend the equivalent of another game's price each year. It's practically a yearly subscription.

>>736590726That Nessa isn’t real
In terms of actual gameplay and not character/monetization:Combat that is pointless and rewards you with nothing relevant, to where skipping almost all fights is preferable
>>736591093Name a single game because that's literally antithetical to the concept of open worlds.The whole point of open worlds is that you design a game and then you sprinkle the gameplay over a large, empty field so that 80 IQ retards can drool at how big the world is.
Garbage localization and censorship Game could be fun but I'm not touching it
>>736591095Me. I am so sick of modern slop and huge open world 100hr games that it's easier to watch the cutscenes instead to see if the story is worth the game (it's not).
>>736590726>Story driven
>>736590726It never used to be this way, but copying 8-bit/16-bit graphics as well as trying to emulate old console graphics. It's something a lot of indieslop is guilty of.
min maxing the fuck out of a new game. Poppin into discord or however you talk to friends and that one guy has everything done. God damn I just can't help myself though. I don't wanna waste resources or pick literally the worst items or skills. >Its fun thoughTrue until suddenly you're kicked because another min maxxing fucktard starts policing your shit. Super awful to experience which is why I have alts to play while my bros are at work.

When a game is overly anime and characters communicate with each other like how real humans wouldn't. As I grow older, my tolerance for anime both visually and storywise, diminishes.

I will keep mine short to 2 (and a half) things. >Tutorial popups that interrupt gameplayExample - Nioh 3 first boss. Mid-fight a popup happens to announce you go into Shardplate Mode™ when the boss is low on health. Fucking annoying interrupting me while I am in the zone. All those tutorial popups for your "special groundbreaking mechanics" should get put into a "Tutorials" tab in the menu for me to read at my leasure. Do a lil thingy on the side that says "you found a fire weapon - Press Start to be taken to the Tutorials menu to see what fire does." Also, the tutorials tab should essentially be an in-game wiki so I don't need to whip my phone out to find out what that status effect does or what breakpoints are for light/mid/heavy rolls.>Not giving detailed information on what something does.Example - Outer Worlds 2 has a weapon called the Cover Fire. The description is "Firing this weapon builds confidence in your companions, granting them increased movement speed, firing rate, and accuracy." Ok, how much? 5%? 25%? It scales with Leadership skill, but how much does a point in Leadership add to it?Why do I need to guess or go read a wiki to figure out how your game works? The fix is very simple. All they need to do is add the numbers. This is a very common annoyance to me.
