Why would you need to avoid games? Just buy it on Steam, if you don't like it, refund it. Wow that was hard.

Bad writing, like clockwork

The only thing I really watch out for with games is the nature of the press surrounding it. If most of what's being said amounts to a big social justice debate and if the word "inclusive" is bandied around more often than "fun" or "exciting," I avoid it at all costs.

>Game is an attempted nostalgia cashgrab

Fucking Halo MCC. That was a huge blow to the balls. Server issues for days...

>3D graphics for 2D gameplay

>just try it first!
it's not hard to see that something like pic related wouldn't be even be worth the time downloading let alone playing

Was it really a cashgrab? It was four games, two remastered, for only 60 bucks

white people

everything else is negotiable

Sure, but to automatically filter out games simply because of a tag they thought would fit the game? That's idiotic.

>Developed by Bungie after 2004

>"We designed it to be more accessible"

As if they speak in code, conveying the opposite the intention of their words.

Kind of the opposite for me, if Sup Forums shits on it it's probably alright

I got it immediately after it came out. The online was a fucking mess for days and even after that. I loved it but once I started to play online, it was a mess. Nothing would connect. Out of all the things you fuck up on Halo, it's the multiplayer.

>2D graphics for 3D gameplay

Nah
But you have to ask which games the user recommending shit likes, otherwise you will just get memed into buying garbage.
For example if I want a game close to need for speed I aks the fags recommending shit if they likd most wanted and udnerground, if they say yes then I take their recs seriously, otherwise not.

Bioware

no it's not, if there are game out there you'd know you'd prefer because it doesn't feature x or y you might as well play those instead

>multiplayer only

bingo

...

You got me except for the last one.

>battle royale
>open world

replace open world with Zombies

>"With this entry of the series, we wanted to appeal to a wider audience."
no thanks, I'll be keeping my money

This one right here.

>tfw imagining all of these combined into a single title

Everything not made by slavs.

nah, zombies are so 2011

Why? Sometimes you just want to avoid certain things. Tags can be useful to weed out shit you don't like.

Rogue-like

pic unrelated

>2011 was 6 years ago
fucking delet this right now

female protag

not against them existing, but if i know i can't identify with the MC, can't get immersed, i won't enjoy the game

Anything related to Valve, particularly overrated Half Life and the ones who want a third game.

Nah, I wish, but there's still more zombie shit coming out everyday
Probably because devs are lazy and zombies are easy to code

the time could've been spent playing an actually good game

man she must have a smelly snatch

Half Life 2 was released 2 decades ago.

This or, the intentional buzzwords.

>Progressive
>Female Focus
>Multicultural
>crying about misrepresentation
>"""DEEP STORY"""
>inserting historically inaccurate representation in a game for a sense of "equality".
>forcing in any politics AT ALL whether left right or center, they dont belong in games now and didn't in the past
>Any of the dev team has dyed hair
>Any of the dev team have a lot of tattoos.
>Any of the dev team posts a lot on twitter or other social media and has a long blocklist
>The dev team has more artists than programmers/actually talented people (Looking at Starbound)


Other things
>Stamina bars or gauges

>still has cosmetic crates or forced payment for cosmetics
shiggydiggy

>Single Player only
That's a good thing.

1990 was 40 years ago

Over representation of minorities.
If your medieval game isn't set in a major trade hub between countries then there shouldn't be more than a handful of minority people.
Yes that also means in black countries there shouldn't be white people too.
Globalism is a new thing; long distance travel used to be a huge hassle

RNG loot boxes that you can pay real money for

Does this go for localization teams too? Because you dont wanna know what 8-4 looks like...
>pronouns on twitter pages
>unironically wearing 'gamings feminist illuminati' t-shirts

>weighted swings on melee weapons

?

>Day 1 DLC

>localization teams too
holy shit i've never thought of this.
what kind of hell have you brought upon my mind user???!!!

>diversity
>USA devs
>memes
>season pass
>female main character

I want to play devil's advocate here but I can't. I just can't. There has not been a time where a game came out good from these kind of people. It will usually be either garbage or mediocre and with always, ALWAYS, the devs blaming everything else for the failure of their game.

I bet you don't have very many of girl friends with a bitchy attitude like that.

Without the 2D that's basically ARK

After buying Sunset Overdrive, I'll never pay full price for a Single Player game again.

I just want to buy one game with 100% content.

Swinging your melee weapon will cause your character to teeter, or lose footing. I don't play games for realistic bullshit.

I avoid women like the spoiled facebook princess, social media whoring, professional victim playin plague they are now. I had my fun when I was in my 20's, that's all I care about.

Having at least 2 of these 4
>Early access, open world, survival, crafting
Generally anything Ubisoft although I'd probably play a new splinter cell

>I will never buy a game unless the developer has made several games before
This seems weird

>made by a muilticultural team of all faiths and religions only one good game had this

alright alright.. i'll play your game user.
what good game had that?

Bingoda!

Ah right, I think that's fine when used in moderation. Like in the first Dark Souls Halberds will make you stagger if you miss your attack as a way of balancing how they're otherwise very strong in all areas.
