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.
FPSs with the sole exception being Fallout 4. I don’t know how people can tell that a single pixel moving far off in the distance is the enemy. And what do you mean someone’s shooting me from behind at exactly 161.8°? How can you tell? HOW?
Closed-source games.
gothic 3. because it looks like piece of shit.
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.
MOBAs
I’ve tried and bounced off several mobas at the request of my friends over the years, but Deadlock is really pulling me in recently. I was surprised too.
Fortnite. Noped right out of that one.
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…
Anything multiplayer.
F2P and RTS games
And RTS? For the same reason or different?
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
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.
- 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.
