Reimagining, streamlined.

 

[Azure Dream]

"RTS" unfortunately. I've just never been particularly good at the genre.
Usually have a problem with "card-based" too. I feel like too many games are being reduced to that. I know it's a convenient way of representing things, but maybe it's too convenient.

This is kind of bizarre, because in the right game (and only the right games) it's a huge boon, but these days.... "Massive/open-world" gets me rolling my eyes. Half the time they're barren worlds with not much going on in them.

 

[ButchCat]

People who say the words "cinematic" and "immersive" turn them off will then go and say games like "TLoU" were their goty. I hate double standards.

 

[Strider]

Virtual Currency.

Used to love the NBA 2k games until they introduced that garbage.

Definitely "visceral".

On the flip side, i love my cinematic, epic, blood/gore filled story driven games.

Level-up

More of a phrase, but whenever someone says "they don't make games for us anymore" I get the feeling that person hasn't stepped far outside of their genre of choice. This is a common marketing ploy on Kickstarter.

For me it's "epic". The word is meaningless anymore.

We're done here. Thanks for being 1st. post.

DOTA clone.


Ugh, I just cannot understand why people enjoy these games so much. I just find them ridiculously dull.


The only one I do like is Awesomenauts.





Edit: Oh and JRPGs. Can't stand the style.

My game of the year is La Mulana. It counts, the Steam release was in 2013. That game was pretty damn immerse, but not in the same way most people use the word.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

None. I don't believe words that may have been chosen by the marketing department to have such an effect on me.

 

[vio]

F2P, Freemium, Ransomware.

Words like "cinematic", "visceral", and the like are just marketing nonsense that goes in one ear and out the other. They make me role my eyes, but they don't bother me.

 

[The Albatross]

generally, "Free to play."

It's one of the few phrases that if I hear it about a game... I ignore the game. In most cases, I just think that I'm going to have to spam my Facebook or Twitter feed to play it, or buy virtual coins to play or something.

I know it doesn't have to be like that, but it's a visceral reaction of mine.

 

[Terbinator]

I stop reading when i see "co-op"

Conversely I'm likely to insta-buy when I see the words "chip tune"

"survival", not in the sense of survival horror genre, but any of these dayz / minecraft copy paste jobs where survival reads as "shorted sighted excuse for a lack of any meaningful objective based or long term gameplay" or to me reads as "boring as fuck novelty gameplay".
