Games that made you go "Nope" in less than a minute

Got a PS4 and PS+ for a while now
PS+ gives you games for free, but I play them for less than a minute before deleting them
sometimes.

ollie skateboard game
Guacomolee (some luchador game)

I know if a game it's worth my time I guess.

How about you, ever played a game in less than a few minutes or seconds
what's you record before going "Nope"?

My record had to be ollie skateboard game ( I am not even sure if it's the real name of that game)
as soon as this tutorial came up and failed the first action, I was like "Nope" bye.

Those are amazing games.

Less than a minute is some seriously quick snap judgements.

I gave stick it to the man and that weird planet doodle one(edit:doki doki universe) less than 5 minutes.
 
You don't know if a game is worth your time going by that list.

I drop games if I'm met with poor framerate. I can do with 30 FPS that dips sometimes, but New Little King's Story on Vita showed me that I can't take constant sub-30. So choppy.
 
OP will atone soon, I'm sure. In the spirit of getting this thread OT, I put my vote for Outlast. Made it inside the house and as soon as I had to go in that first room, NOPE.

I want to like scary stuff but I'm a big baby.
 
Abandoning critically-acclaimed games that lots of people clearly enjoy in a matter of seconds, before you've even understood the basic controls? I can see this going well.

If you give them ten minutes or so once you're out of the tutorial/intro I'd kinda understand, most people have done that, but a few seconds? If you're making judgements that quickly, where only really the art and the genre are going to be obvious, then why bother with the hassle of downloading them, looking at a few screenshots would be quicker.
 
You are missing out on two fantastic experiences my friend.

To answer your question, no. I usually quit something once I feel that I've seen the core loop of gameplay and then judge my experience based off of that.
 
What the hell, OP.

On topic: Surgeon Simulator. Tried the controls and went nope.
 
Lol that didn't turn out how you wanted.

If I had to say, it'd be Bioshock infinite. It wasn't a minute, but def less than an hour. The game was a glorified shooting gallery and it lost me because of the repetition. Bioshock 1 is one of my fave games of all time and infinite had a really weak opening and I just didn't care. They just throw you into it and say "ok, kill everyone because reasons." Meanwhile Bioshock oozed atmosphere and had actual pacing to the enemy encounters.
 
PROJECTOE CROSSEZAN only took about 30 minutes to reveal its nature as a pile of steaming fanservice with some truly halfassed 'gameplay' tacked on. Worst game Ive bought in the last 10 years. What a piece of shit that game was. Can't believe it's got a fanbase.

BTW OP you fucked up good
 
What the hell, OP.

Dude, IDK!
I've been playing I finished blood borne and sleeping dogs,
so I was like let play these free games I got, before I knew it they had already been deleted.

could be my 500 gigs drainage worry lol
 
for some reason I didn't think I would like Guacamelee, then got it in the Nintendo Humble Bundle, and it is pretty awesome, I am just about at the end boss.
Haven't tried Olli Olli yet.


As far as a real answer, some dirtbike game on Wii I rented, I played like 2 races and realized it was just terrible. Nitro Bike I think. I was hoping for it to have even a sliver of Excitebike 64's quality. Nope.
 
Both of those games are great ...
Currently on the last area of Guacamelee and it is pretty challenging if you're not playing co-op.
I don't think 1 minute even got you TO the tutorial, nevermind the game proper.
 
Saints Row 4 made me go "nope" less than a minute after it was announced if that counts.

It's so sad to see what that franchise has become.
