I'll never not be upset Yea Forums figured out Phantom Pain's biggest twist before we even had gameplay out. Not even because of the twist but because there was nothing more to it because of the Kojima/Konami headbutting leaving it unfinished shit.

>waifu or loli characters
>Cringy anime voices or aesthetics
>Big focus on diversity or inclusion of characters, but it really just boils down to race and sexuality, instead of personality, gameplay characteristics, etc. However the characters end up being bland or just stereotypical caricatures
>Battle Royale
>Early access (however, sometimes this can work out well for niche indie games that truly needed support, but sometimes they turn out to be exit scams, like the stomping lands)
>Crafting survival sim
>Big emphasis on competitive esports
>Focusing on ways to monetize the game instead of making it fun or enjoyable
>Rendered trailers instead of actual gameplay when showing off the game
>Kickstarter game by literal whos
>Kickstarter game by industry veterans
I think I hit most of the bases.
JRPG, Early Access, Visual Novel, Otome, Zombies, RPGMaker, Metroidvania
Main character is male.
Unironically I almost never play male main characters, its just ugly and unappealing. On occasion I give it a chance if I have reason to believe its good though. But if I'm just browsing for a new game, male character puts it immediately on my black list.
>Microtransactions
>Multiplayer
That's about it
Too "video-gamey"

Main gameplay feature is difficulty, not depth or strategy, just flat out difficulty. Say game doesn't have enough content and its just difficult so you dont be it too fast and people say you're misssing the point of the game.
