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.
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.
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 anything, dating sims, roguelikes. I will play single player games that offer multiplayer but never the multiplayer part. Oh and gatcha games, waifu collectors, etc. and anything p2w. Fuck that noise.
What’s wrong with rougelikes in your opinion? I don’t usually seek them out, but for a good while I was super addicted to Binding of Isaac. I think the gameplay loop is pretty fun.
The rest of your comment I agree with wholeheartedly.
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.
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”.
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
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
My beef is with the computer.
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.
