What are some video games you avoid?
(lemmus.org)
Anything Nintendo. Fuck Nintendo.
online games.
Anything from EA, Microsoft, or Ubisoft.
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.
Moba, mmorpg, and COD
Same. Until valve made deadlock. Damn you valve
Closed-source games.
Which open source games do you play?
That’s a secret
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?
A lot of the time, the answer is actually cheating
I don't know if this answers your question, but I was very good at Where's Wally as a child.
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 think its quite cool if you still enjoy something after so many hours.
MOBAs
I've tried and bounced off several mobas at the request of my friends over the years, but Deadlock is really pulling me in recently. I was surprised too.
Same thing.
Same thing here
Fortnite. Noped right out of that one.
I just can't do overwatch... I don't know why people give games like that enjoying...
Gacha games.
I play Genshin Impact and one gacha is enough for me.
gothic 3. because it looks like piece of shit.
Any game that uses kernel level anti cheat, for obvious reasons.
Sorry I'm dumb. What are the reasons? You really want to cheat?
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.
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 multiplayer.
- 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".

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
99.999% of them. I don't desire variety. Give me one good game and I'll waste infinite hours with it for the next 15 years. The newest game I've played is from 2018
I'd love it you'd name a few. I like games you can get lost in for hours and always looking for others I may have missed.
Age of Empires 2, Minecraft, Cities Skylines, GTA series, DayZ
Most of the multiplayer ones and all of the ones that require voice chat.

At the moment basically anything competitive/ranked. I don't want to compete online anymore because I know that I'll have to go on an insane grind to get good. Only exception is trackmania because it somehow doesn't upset me quite like other ranked online games. But even then I only play the "arcade" mode and not ranked
Oh, interesting. Why doesn't it upset you? Any particular mechanism?
I think it'd because the Trackmania arcade mode doesn't really let you affect anyone else. Everyone in the server is obviously trying to go as fast as possible,and to a degree also get as high up on the session leaderboard as possible, but you can't ruin each others laps. And while finishing high on the session leaderboard is nice, the overall goal for everyone is to get a good enough time on the map in general. To beat your own PB, to get all medals. So essentially the real opponent is your past self. This leads people to get quite cooperative. Having discussions about how to tackle certain parts of the track, congretulating each other with setting a new PB, etc.
Playing against random people and especially with random people in other competitive games seems to generally get toxic. People blaming you for ruining their game, people getting mad. To me it's very stressful. Even if I know that it shouldn't affect me, and I'm never going to meet them again, it still does affect me negatively
