I've never played TLoU and have very little interest in ever playing it, partly down to those two words so don't tar everyone who dislikes those words with the same brush.

Same here. Zero interest in TloU, Uncharted or whatever.

 

[lensoftruth]

I like the idea of free to play, it has the same basic principles as the PC shareware scene back in the day. But they fucked it, but also modern mainstream titles don't really accommodate it considering their by the numbers shit.

I tend to have an open mind for these things. In the past I shunned any MMO and boy was I wrong to do that. I've also had things against F2P and Day 1 DLC too.

Now the only thing that gets me turned off for a game is unnatural hype and/or EA.

"Tales" and "of".

Western

Same here. The theme just doesn't interest me at all, be it games, movies or whatnot. Which was one of the reasons why I skipped Red Dead Redemption, the other being that it's an open world game.

"Tales" and "of".

I really need to start doing that. I have bought almost every one since Tales of Destiny 2 (US) and it has always ended up in disappointment after initial community hype. I should have learned my lesson by now.

[Son Of D]

Heh. I didn't see that post, as he's one of the two people I have on my ignore list. And now I remember why I've put him there.

You put him on your ignore because he doesn't like Sony? Or am I missing something here?

How is not liking games that define themselves as "indie" edgy?

I have no idea how that works. Probably because indies are very popular on here and the person you quoted might think that the person who doesn't like indie games is just saying that to be "controversial" and "edgy".

I would imagine that we all have our share of them - words that, when you hear them, automatically turn you off from a game. That doesn't have to mean that you don't look into them further or completely ignore them or anything, but still, a word that, when you see it, generally gives you a good idea you're probably not going to be interested in a game.


A couple for me:
FPS
Cinematic
Action
Bloody/Gore-filled/etc.


That isn't to say I hate all games where those terms could apply, but, generally, if it's one of the key terms used in describing/promoting the game, it's a pretty good sign I'm not going to be interested in it.

I'm sure there are plenty more, but those are just some of the more common.

I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but "open world".

 

[GolazoDan]

I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, but "open world".

I don't think you will because it's become the cool thing to describe games as this. What a lot of companies are doing is just making the map massive and calling it an open world. It's open alright but it's not much of a world. Not much going on in there. The term's been whored out to the point where it's meaningless.

Microtransactions and free-to-play are the easy ones for me. Those things can be okay but I've been burned too many times to say I'm okay with them.

First time through these games like can be fun but soon their clones and sequels come out and it gets quite tiring. If I see these terms being used I'm already weary.

Zombies

I can forgive the former if it is stellar enough to deal with dipshits or I know a good community. The latter I refuse to budge on. I am sick to death of zombies. The only exception to that would be a proper OG style resident evil.

 

[LuchaShaq]

Timers.

Replayability. 95%+ of the time this is just some bullshit marketing term to cover up a lack of content even if the game itself is good.

Multiplayer in single player. Ruined the last few need for speed games.

Social. Fuck off noone cares or wants to see my AC4 pirate shit on their feed.

Indie platformer with a twist. More played out than modern military shooters.

Whenever a dev/pub describe their game as a 'Visceral Cinematic Experience' I have to try my hardest not to yank out my hair.

I tried very hard to get into Sam and Max, 999, Zak and Wiki and The first episode of the Walking dead plus many others; I simply cannot get any pleasure out of the genre and have given up on it.
