Well, ever since the whole thing where macrohard/mojangles/whichever decided “you know what minecraft needs? CLIENT SIDE CHAT SCANNING AND CENSORSHIP!” I decided to switch over to Minetest and have never looked back.
I don’t mind big servers having censorship because that’s their deal and they can use whatever chat filters/plug-ins they want, but do we really need singleplayer to be censored? Or our chat messages to be scanned for things mc deem inappropriate? Absolutely not!
Any dev’s online game that does not want to support Linux in their AC for whatever reason, even if it is a matter of just flipping a goddam switch.
Yup. Got locked out myself since I only play on a linux machine. Yeah rockstar you can fuck right off.
Online multiplayer and soulslike games
More pvp souls for me weee
All multiplayer games for over a decade
People are assholes and I just wanna have fun
CoD, overwatch, sports games, free to play games, casino games.
Games made by Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft, or Paradox.
Roguelikes. The infinite replayability and computer generated design are fatiguing to me. Seems like most of the reasons why people like them are the exact reasons I don’t. 🤷♂️
For me it’s the fact that most of them aren’t actually able to be beaten on any given run.
This. I’m OK with permadeath (and in game), but when a game is setup in such a way that most playthroughs just aren’t winnable, even by someone with perfect knowledge, I hate them.
Multiplayer games that require invasive anticheat or really long games that take 100+ hours to complete.
I’m gonna make a microtransaction-laden gambling trap competitive multiplayer dating sim, get EA to publish it, and title it “🖕”
I think that’s just called “reality”.
- Anything from EA.
- Anything from Ubisoft
- Anything Epic exclusive.
- Anything with Denuvo (or whatever is the next intrusive DRM).
- Anything competitive PvP multiplayer.
- Anything “free” to play.
- Probably almost all general multipler & live service by now - or otherwise full of dark patterns to keep me “engaged”.
I don’t find myself “engaged,” I find myself wanting to spend money for something that will bore me the next week.
There is a reason I’ve mostly played single player games for the past decade.
I was tired of the “seasons” and micro transactions when I just wanted a story. If the story was good, I’d be ok with purchasing an expansion upon it. I remember my first expansion pack, Warcraft 2, played over a phone line. It felt worth it.
For more modern games, The Witcher 3 DLC felt like proper expansion packs. I have no bad feelings about those.
But just adding a few cosmetic items? Fuck off.
Most of the multiplayer ones and all of the ones that require voice chat.
There are so many interesting games I see that require internet multiplayer and voice chat. I would love to play them with friends but do not want to interact with random people in a game.
Squad has this problem for the first 5 mins in the pregame bit before you can leave the base.
Most of the interactions I’ve had after that period have been pretty positive
My beef is with the computer.
xbox has shadowbanned me or something so that my game chat doesn’t work. I can hear others but they can’t hear me.
I know it’s not a microphone issue because people can hear me in party chat.
This sucks
Any game that uses kernel level anti cheat, for obvious reasons.
Sorry I’m dumb. What are the reasons? You really want to cheat?
Can’t play them on Linux
I’ll assume since I am someone else, but kernel level anti-cheat is basically Spyware, or at least a privacy concern.
Oh ok thanks
“kernel level” means the deepest level of the computer. It’s like giving a houseguest a key to the safe in your bedroom.
People really don’t understand just how invasive this is. At that point, if it was programmed to, it could pretend to obey your uninstall directive, while actually overriding your attempts to uninstall the game.
Any normal program can do that too.
Yep, the other two commenters summed it up well: I’d rather not have software for a game that I play running and phoning home every time I boot my computer (in other words, a rootkit). I also am a Linux user, so they just don’t work for me.
Could also be that they are playing on Linux. Kernel level anti-cheat doesn’t work there.
anything that is a “Game as a Service”
EA and Ubisoft, some kernel level anti cheat, and typically speaking, i dont enjoy games that have tower defense mechanics (and i hate when its shoehorned in, e.g Monster Hunter Rise). Korean MMOs. Mobas in general
Pay to win games or games with heavy focus on in game purchases. Having an in game store to supplement development costs? Cool no problems. 5 interactions to get into a game but 1 interaction to purchase something? No thanks.
Not saying they can’t be fun. But not a practice I like to support if I can help it.
True, I had to spend money on some cosmetics on Injustice 2 once because that’s what Ed Boon wanted to put in his next DC fighting game that I read about which said he wanted to incorporate first-person shooter mechanics and trends into said game.
The first Injustice had none of that besides the downloadable content.
