[GHG]

Enough with the blatantly broken/unfinished games and woke propoganda.

 

[Hrk69]

Souls clones

Stuff like Lies of P. Just a blatant copy of almost everything FromSoftware has done

Oh and I never want to see bad PC ports again

 

[Metnut]

Digital only games
Procedurally generated worlds/areas/dungeons
Level scaling

 

[Hudo]

- RTS continue being ignored (Hello, EA?)
- Games deliberately being released in a bare bones state in order to have a platform for Microtransactions & DLC (Fuck you, Paradox)
- GAAS
- Account-gating everything
- Blizzard still refusing to acknowledge their major fuck up with WarCraft 3: Reforged
- Still no Final Fantasy Tactics news
- Still no Dragon Quest III: HD-2D Remake and Dragon Quest XII news
- Still no Half-Life 3

 

[Roberts]

Yellow ladders
Other characters solving puzzles for you

 

[eNT1TY]

A deluge of uninspired ue5 games with stock library or quixel assets wholesale.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

This current trend of FMV coming back can fuck right off

 

[Bond007]

Digital games only

 

[MasterDerico]

Tons of Metroivania and Souls-like games...

 

[Magic Carpet]

Swords and Guns

Is Talos Principal 2 the only big meaty puzzle game I'm getting this generation? Return to Monkey Island was nice for the few days till that was over.
Really wanted Last Case of Benedict Fox to be great, but combat ruined that.

 

[Putonahappyface]

GAAS and only digital.

 

[Woopah]

Adverts that are just streamers reacting to things (looking at you COD).

 

[Evil Calvin]

Less butch 'women'.
Have them bad-ass, but beautiful. It's ok to be hot you know.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I’ve noticed this thing where when an NPC is talking the volume completely drops if I turn my back to them.
It’s stupid, makes no sense, and I’m getting tired of it.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

A certain group Astroturfing

 

[Moriarty1889]

Manly, ugly, female characters.

Agreed 1000%.

 

[Moriarty1889]

GAAS
Forced Always-Online when it doesn't need to be
Games released unfinished on disc
Unfinished games in general
Pointless celebrity cameos
Ugly character models because some folks are triggered by attractive men and women
Censorship

Yes with the ugly character models my friend. People today are triggered by just about anything. Crazy but true.

 

[Schmick]

Valve continually refusing to bring any news regarding their games. I still don't know when CS2 will be updated with new maps and modes.

 

[Roberts]

Swords and Guns

Is Talos Principal 2 the only big meaty puzzle game I'm getting this generation? Return to Monkey Island was nice for the few days till that was over.

Have you played Cocoon?

 

[Magic Carpet]

Have you played Cocoon?

Yep, right up untill the boss battles ruined that little puzzle game for me.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Massive layoffs and the general working conditions in the industry. Companies basing their success and how much they can continually gouge customers for shit products.

 

[Paltheos]

PC versions of games defaulting to an XBox control UI with no option to switch to a Dualshock one. Sometimes smaller titles get this right, but big games almost always get it wrong.
The most infuriating example I've come across is Tokyo Xanadu, a game which had previously released only on the PS4 and Vita, meaning that when Aksys ported the game over to PC, they went out of their way to change the control UI instead of leaving it the same or offering a toggle.

 

[Jigsaah]

Collectathons...I don't really mind much else.

Oh and Microsoft to chill on the acquisitions. Sony to stop with the GaaS nonsense.

 

[SHA]

Bandai rehashing dragon ball sequel.

 

[Fermbiz]

Straight out the ass gaas games.

 

[Hypereides]

Having celebrities's faces in-game. It adds nothing for me and might jack up the development costs for no actual gameplay gains.

Agreed. Would be great if AAA stopped being embarrassed that they should be developing video games instead of striving to be some new Hollywood.

 

[gaming_again]

Agreed. Would be great if AAA stopped being embarrassed that they should be developing video games instead of striving to be some new Hollywood.

I generally agree, but Elba KILLED IT in Phanton Liberty.

 

[Victor Omega]

Dev Apologize tweet of game delays

 

[Lethal01]

Realism in games

 

[xrnzaaas]

Bigger games trying to go all-digital. This is the reason why I didn't buy Alan Wake 2 and why I played Like a Dragon Gaiden in Game Pass instead of giving actual money to the devs.

 

[MikeM]

What I want to see more of: Uncapped 60fps+ modes on console. Why this isn’t standard in a world of VRR TVs is beyond me.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Digital only titles or limited physical release. Sadly I think it's not so much a trend.

 

[Gravemind]

Remakes/Remasters of games that came out less than 10 years ago.

Enough is enough.

 

[IDKFA]

The next Nintendo console (Switch 2?) to actually have some bloody power behind it. There is no reason why the next Nintendo console can't be at least on par with the Steam Deck.

I'd also like to see Nintendo do something different. It's the same kid-friendly games over and over again. Give me something with the Nintendo quality, but made for adults. Imagine a Nintendo 18/R rated FPS or third-person cinematic game? That's what the people want to see!

 

[YukiOnna]

People constantly using sales as a measure of quality/personal defense. Or, if it doesn't hit their personal amount of success, it's not good enough. It doesn't have to sell 20 Million to be one, if the company is happy, that's enough.

Another is chasing being grounded or Hollywood in the west side. It's made it boring.

 

[deriks]

- pre production game having an announcement
- obligatory walking session
- beat em up with God of War (2018) style
- woke shit

 

[Celcius]

Devs releasing a game on consoles and holding the PC release back to get folks to double dip. Yes, I'm looking at you Rockstar!

 

[cormack12]

Streamers and influencers having any sort of opinion.
RPG-Lite levelling in every game
Games that feel like jobs to keep up with timed events/rewards etc
Missable collectibles and achievements in games
Political messaging as subtle as a kick to the groin

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Marvel games.
Prettier versions of the same game we’ve already played ad nauseum.
Anything with unlimited lives (minimal punishment).
Non Live Service games. If it has to be SP, don’t ditch the consumer after they bought your game.
