Not really as a response to yours, but Western AAA means I immediately ignore it, it doesn't even have to be obviously woke anymore, I just know they will be low quality, the West hasn't produce anything good for more than a decade now and it's fucking sad.

There was something about the latest 007 game that I couldn't stomach. I don't know what it is, it could be the walk and talk sections, lame jokes or the forced stealth with taking down guards looking at the horizon, maybe a combination of all of it. But when I play a game like this, I just feel it, this is exactly the opposite of what I want in a video game, I think Uncharted invented this type of shit, taking game mechanics for better games but make them completely automatic and just give you the illusion that you're doing something, like Uncharted using the climbing from Prince of Persia, but removing the fucking game aspect of it.

What makes it all so much worse is that it was made by the Hitman team, which is something fans have been begging for, so they go and just make a generic Uncharted clone instead.

I don't mind this exactly. My issue is when the subtitles don't match what the character is actually saying.

In many cases the gameplay is something that has that je ne sais quoi, or discussion surrounding it revolves around metagaming strategies that you'd have to be deeply autistic to get invested into. Or the discussion is something objective and has no real room for subjectivity.
Like this is from SMT Strange Journey. I could bring this up in the Strange Journey thread in terms of dogshit design. Higher rank, lower damage, MP cost difference is negligible, and it inflates summon costs. But there's no substance to bringing this up. I could offer strategies, but someone would have to request advice. It's easier to get a discussion going on something subjective like "I hated this plot point because I think it was rushed and undermined characterization" than "Charming Bolt costs 65 MP and has the same power as Zio at 3 MP."

Some of the best games I've ever played had an anime art style, I think you guys are missing out but I know I'm not gonna convince you, some people are incapable of enjoying stuff if they think people will look down on them for it, like putting a performance for your life, truly sad!

Here's the real list
>Gacha of any type
>Any mobile games made after 2014
>Anything that requires me to get a different launcher outside of Steam (battlenet, epic lames)
>Anything that requires me to be online or install an anti cheat to play it
>Anything that has obnoxious full screen ads on the main menu (think shit like marvel rivals, valorant, nuCoD etc)
>Anything AA or AAA made in the west past 2016
>Indie games made by trannies or minorities
>Movie games
>Emotional experience walking sim slop
>Any game with an ugly minority or female protagonist
>Any remake whatsoever
>Games that become trendy on social media purely because they mixed a random genre with mediocre porn bait characters, aka porn addict games
>Any big or medium sized fighting games released after 2020, as they ALL have vbuck and battlepass equivalents and half the cast locked behind premium dlc
>Anything made by Riot games
>Anything made by nuBlizzard
>Anything made by nuHalo
>Anything made by nuBethesda
>Anything made by the nuCoD "people"
>Any multiplayer games without local co-op
>Any games made by devs that openly antagonize their fanbases
>Anything that censors itself to comply with modern "male gaze" and other bullshit (think games like Skullgirls)
>Anything where people say "this is like required reading if you want to call yourself a gamer"
>Anything that's obviously paid off their reviews (think Mixtape, Dustborn, Wolverine, etc)
>Any game that's a sandbox where "you can do/build anything" EXCEPT to do anything cool you need to spend 20 hours grinding resources (think vanilla valheim)
>Games with AI art, not even a luddite, I just think AI art looks insanely ugly and not up to par yet with a game that has a real art team.
>Any game with a character creator where its impossible to make an attractive character blindly (think Street Fighter 6s avatar, impossible to make work, ugly 100% of the time)
