What are your red flags user and why do you hate it so much

Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.

>A modern [classic Japanese game]!
Why can't mutts and europoors leave the superior Japanese classics alone? Nobody wants to play Earthbound but worse because you can just play Earthbound.

>Western game
>Set in Japan
I don't know why Japanese people can set games in America and make classics like killer7 but westerners trying to make games set in Japan end up making something cringe like DDLC.

>X simulator
Get a load of this zoomer

>Admitting you've been here for less than a year
You may be the dumbest nigger on this board, holy shit.

Social justice. When you look at the garbage bioware and Ubisoft have shat out recently, then look at their Twitter and see them bragging about the number of unqualified women and minorities in their ranks, a picture starts to form.
It leads to ugly characters, a forced agenda which makes the story feel inorganic, and a general preachy overtone that i don't appreciate. All the while the game fucking sucks but the devs can still pat themselves on the back because at least they were "progressive". Critics can barely say shit because they're afraid of getting branded a misogynist for going against the grain. Triple A studios are doing it, indies are doing it, and it always goes bad.

Always considered myself liberal btw. But ffs get this garbage out of my vidya. It's all so fucking tiresome.

Day one, on the disc DLC also. Won't buy the game if it has it. That shit used to be unlockable characters you bastards. Don't support this garbage. No good game has ever had microtransaftions and loot boxes either

If a game is honest with it's marketing and promotion I usually don't mind if it ends up being mediocre, since I can assess pretty accurately what the final product will be like. Ex: Overwatch, Hellblade, RDR2, ect.

When a game promises and alludes to features that clearly won't make the final cut, or when it doesn't communicate when that ends up being the case. When it's a clear downgrade from a previous iteration it seriously kills any desire to play the game. This is often the case when it feels "too good to be true." Ex: Battlefront 2, MGS V, Fallout 4.

too much hype

t. irrelevant country

EA, Bethesda, Blizzard or Gearbox logos on the box.

>We're trying to branch out to a wider demographic for this game, but we're still confident our old fans will love it too!
Every single time this has happened, it basically meant:
>game is casualized to shit
>sells mildly higher than other entries in the series
>dev tanks all goodwill with old fans and either damage controls hardcore or shits on the old fans, only to put out a faithful sequel years later to try and win them back
I don't get why this happened so much in the past decade.

It's an FPS with some kind of experience mechanic

If mainstream media praises a western game for it's story telling or characters. I know that just translates to "someone's a lesbian." I don't care if you're LGBTQ in real life but to be honest I'm just tired of this being considered so brave and empowering. You know what's brave? Coming up with a new reveal or twist for your game than a character's sexuality. It's just not new anymore. It's just virtue signaling. What the hell does someone like The Last of Us director know about being a lesbian?

>What the hell does someone like The Last of Us director know about being a lesbian?
He knows that it’ll make his game a shoo-in for all sorts of awards, even if they don’t mean jack shit.

Bethesda
Their games have nothing I like about video games
