Cinematic, definitely. Most of the times it just sounds like a poor excuse for constrained gameplay. Of all the games I played the Metal Gear saga (at least the first three) actually marries both gameplay and cinematic feeling in an effective way, other games not so much, as they feel a drag to play.
Additionally, since the thrid person shooter genre is now almost exclusively tied to the 'cinematic' moniker I could say they are another major turn-off for my interest in a potential buy.

Microtransactions

First post nails it again.

I will say that as long as Microtransactions aren't required or "pay to win" type of situation, I can ignore that word. I will just refuse to do them.

For me the word is "multiplayer", because when I see it and cringe it's usually when referring to a game that was previously single-player only, and now has tacked-on multiplayer because they need a bullet point on the back of the box.

I'm thinking Mass Effect and Bioshock here. Wasting development time on unnecessary multiplayer takes resources away that could've been spent fleshing out the only part of their game people want, the single player experience.

All that, and when the creator says "We are really excited about how the game is coming out". I dunno but that lack of self-criticism is just... turns me off.

 

[Earthpainting]

"Zombie", "open world", "online" and "shooter" usually makes me tune out. It's an uphill battle from there on to win my attention back. Luckily there have been games in all of those categories that have successfully done so.

Oh, I forgot 'QTE'.



This too.

Multiplayer-only or just Online-only.

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

Don't even get me started.

Motion Controls

F2P, Freemium, Ransomware.

Multiplayer only

So yeah, it's not even a type of genre (outside of MP only) or the story, the graphics. I give almost anything a chance (outside of RTS). It's all this stuff.

Fucking stupid decisions for the gamer, but great for the stockholder. It is what it is. I try my best not to support it.

Here is a representation of the most used words/phrases based on the first 5 pages of this thread:

I wish people would put their money where their mouth is, and stop buying games with these phrases included. Perhaps that would bring some change, and force publisher's (like EA's) hand. Unfortunately that ain't gonna happen as long as people feel the need to have the next big thing from them.

To be fair, I'd guess a lot of the most vocal detractors (I.e. us) don't buy into a lot of this stuff, but the mass market loves it, and that's what we get. We are a niche.
