Sports games, most racing games, JRPGs, fighting games, party games, MMOs, soulsborne type games, precision platformers, dating sim games. None of these are inherently bad, I’ve just learned that I don’t get much out of them.
Damn, are you me?
yea
I’m curious what Soulsborne games you’ve tried? I was absolutely certain they weren’t for me, but I finally broke down and tried Dark Souls 3 cooperatively with friends. Not only is it my favorite genre now, but playing it that way was also the best gaming experience of my life.
Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, and God Of War. The genre just isn’t for me. I am bad at, and get frustrated with trying to get perfect timing against enemies to trade melee attacks. Simple as. The genre isn’t inherently bad, but I recognize when something isn’t for me.
Completely fair. I was pretty bad at them too, but the cooperative experience definitely flattened that curve!
Anything from EA, Microsoft, or Ubisoft.
Add Sony too
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.
And they are doing the exact same thing with Edge that they were taken to court for over Windows Explorer. They have been and always will be a shit company.
Pay to win games or games with heavy focus on in game purchases. Having an in game store to supplement development costs? Cool no problems. 5 interactions to get into a game but 1 interaction to purchase something? No thanks.
Not saying they can’t be fun. But not a practice I like to support if I can help it.
True, I had to spend money on some cosmetics on Injustice 2 once because that’s what Ed Boon wanted to put in his next DC fighting game that I read about which said he wanted to incorporate first-person shooter mechanics and trends into said game.
The first Injustice had none of that besides the downloadable content.
League
Crafting ones.
Laughs in abiotic factor
Anything episodic or with an online social component. Basically anything that leeches significant time from my life. I don’t want to be in my deathbed thinking about how many thousands of hours I spent on various games.
People bragging about having 5,000+ hours in a single video game make me deeply sad.
I think its quite cool if you still enjoy something after so many hours.
Anything that doesn’t work on Linux
So, most games, then?
No. As you can see on protondb.com, 86% of the Top 1000 Games on Steam have a Silver rating or better, meaning they work just fine on Linux.
I echo a lot of the sentiments expressed by others about avoiding games from bad publishers or games employing milking practices, avoiding multiplayer and toxic people, overly hard games, and many other points already stated.
My two things that are different are that I enjoy hard games so long as the reset is instant or near instant. Like Katana Zero and Hotl8ne Miami. Without that I don’t want any part of a hard game. I get it, I died, let me try again already. So fuck games with long reset times.
And more unusual is I really don’t like most isometric games but especially clicky isometrics. If I can’t wander freely with WASD, fuck it, I’m out. Not going to sit here going clickclickclickclickclickclick just to go half a screen and open a chest. Fucking hate overly clicky shit like that with a passion. I also dont like how up is more like diagonal up and left is diagonal up etc. It’s just annoying. My only exceptional has been project zomboid.
I like Project Zomboid too!
These days anything with a story honestly.
If I want a story I’ll watch TV with my wife. When I play games I’d rather pay something short and fun, like a round of deadlock recently.
Multiplayer games that require invasive anticheat or really long games that take 100+ hours to complete.
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.
My beef is with the computer.
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
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
Soulsborne type games
Games feeling like a chore and force me to ‘get good’ in order to enjoy them? Miss me with that shit, or at least pay me for it.
Online games
Same as above, plus annoying people who take the whole thing too seriously.
Moba, mmorpg, and COD
Same. Until valve made deadlock. Damn you valve
gothic 3. because it looks like piece of shit.
