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.
Fortnite. Noped right out of that one.
MOBAs
Gacha games.
I play Genshin Impact and one gacha is enough for me.
I just can’t do overwatch… I don’t know why people give games like that enjoying…
F2P and RTS games
And RTS? For the same reason or different?
Anything multiplayer.
EA and Ubisoft, some kernel level anti cheat, and typically speaking, i dont enjoy games that have tower defense mechanics (and i hate when its shoehorned in, e.g Monster Hunter Rise). Korean MMOs. Mobas in general
99.999% of them. I don’t desire variety. Give me one good game and I’ll waste infinite hours with it for the next 15 years. The newest game I’ve played is from 2018
Any game that uses kernel level anti cheat, for obvious reasons.
Sorry I’m dumb. What are the reasons? You really want to cheat?
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
League
Anything that doesn’t work on Linux
At the moment basically anything competitive/ranked. I don’t want to compete online anymore because I know that I’ll have to go on an insane grind to get good. Only exception is trackmania because it somehow doesn’t upset me quite like other ranked online games. But even then I only play the “arcade” mode and not ranked
- 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.
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.
