    These days damn near anything that costs more than 30. Because the extra money isn’t enough, they want to sell you $5000 in hats, too.

    Anything with a subscription is a no for me. I think subscription games are less popular than they used to be, but I never played WoW because paying every month seemed excessive to me.

    Most shooters. Especially like CoD. Not interested. I enjoy the original doom, but that’s cartoony violence fighting demons. Some of the far cry games I’ve enjoyed, with some reservations.

    Almost all free to play games. They don’t feel like an honest deal most of the time. Like, Warframe was good somehow. But a lot of them feel predatory or annoying.

    Purely pvp games. No mobas or battle royales for me. I don’t want to deal with other people like that. A little pvp in a game, like dark souls, is fine. But I’m not looking for that to he the main thing, typically.

      Remember when all three of these companies used to be great 20 years ago? Such a shame how far they’ve fallen.

      I’m playing Beyond Good & Evil on GameCube for the first time, and this game is an absolute gem. Makes me miss how great Ubisoft used to be. They started turning into hostile trash somewhere around ten years ago.

    FPSs with the sole exception being Fallout 4. I don’t know how people can tell that a single pixel moving far off in the distance is the enemy. And what do you mean someone’s shooting me from behind at exactly 161.8°? How can you tell? HOW?

    These days anything with a story honestly.

    If I want a story I’ll watch TV with my wife. When I play games I’d rather pay something short and fun, like a round of deadlock recently.

    Anything episodic or with an online social component. Basically anything that leeches significant time from my life. I don’t want to be in my deathbed thinking about how many thousands of hours I spent on various games.

    People bragging about having 5,000+ hours in a single video game make me deeply sad.

        I’ll assume since I am someone else, but kernel level anti-cheat is basically Spyware, or at least a privacy concern.

        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.
