Biggest red flag for you when hearing about a game?

Attached: 1560910615912.jpg (1200x800, 132K)

no fanservice

chief diversity officer on staff

Multiplayer focus

Woman's devs

Backed by EA/Activision/Blizzard/Ubisoft/Bethesda. Unless being on phones counts, though I hardly consider those games even if they technically are.

free to play

>"will you buy her game Yea Forums?"
It clearly says that the game's only merit is having cute characters instead of actually showing off the merit's of it's story and gameplay. It's the lowest form of shilling

Japanese developer

This. Fuck the other anons crying about the small shit happening behind the scenes. This was the start of games betraying themselves. Before the live services push it was the multiplayer push in franchises in previously single player only games.

midlife crisis white male protagonist

Nintendo

>has multiple forms of ingame currency
>crafting system
>"depression" is a theme

>comfy

>We want our game to reach a wide audience

Either
>JRPG
which means gameplay is a distant, low priority annoyance far behind anything else or
>Crowdfunded game created by professional game studio
which means the crowdfunding was for showing investors there is interest in the product. I can't think of a instance where this was a good thing.

>"survival mechanics"
>"gather materials to craft..."

Open world sandbox and roguelite. Not because I dislike those things, but because they have lost their meaning. They instead translate to low effort and not shit to do for the majority of the games.

2010's haircuts

Forced sniper duels, stealth segments or underwater gameplay. Also, endlessly respawning mobs.

If there's a big marketing campaign about it, like all that e3 fanfare with passing "cool gamers" getting interviewed and telling how HOIPED are about said game etc.

Almost always it's a forgettable disappointment. Same applies to Japanese games that do nothing but talk about the poster girls and literally nothing else, I still don't know what many of those games are even about.

That it's an mmo.

The worst offender of this for me is Siege. Fuck the stupid hero shooter bullshit. I want to play regular missions that require you to manage your squadmates and move room to room clearing out baddies.

>it's a power armor sci-fi shooter with mild RPG mechanics

diversity

>made in unity
For every great game made on the engine there's a dozen absolute turds.

DRM

>all dlc will be ''free''
And this .

>rpg
>voiced protag

>"Metroid meet dark souls"

funny how in initial trailer the game was all about realistic counter terrorist units vs home invader with familiar sounding team (Raven Shield vs Rouge Spear) instead of what we got now

>open world

indie platformer. or “rogue-like” christ don’t we have enough of these. I would honestly rather play one of several hundred piss poor AAA open world games with little to no interesting content

>open world
>lots of sidequests
>crafting

Also this

or
>x meets y
and any aberrations thereof.

xbox or playstation exclusive
they had good exclusives last gen, this gen not so much

The devs behind the Avengers game described how they wanted it to be a long-term service or something like Destiny and I don't think my interest in something has ever deflated quite so fast

>advertisment constantly reminds you about how diverse the cast is
>devs/publishers has literally no spine and just flip flops to whatever group that is screaming louder
>the art style is anime or ""cute and fuzzy"" shit
>indie
>day one dlc
>all cutscenes videos takes up 50% or more of average playtime on howlongtobeat
>it's on steam and not epic

it's AAA
I think the last AAA game I played and liked was arkham knight, the last one before that was probably halo reach

Games as a service

turn based

Japanese developer.

It's made by women

Early Access

Free to play
Shat out by ea
Sjw infestation. Eg retconing characters to a different race, historical revisionism
Tone of devs is patronizing and moralizing
Claims of infinite/radiant anything
Console pleb exclusive
Intrusive drm and anti cheat
Liscensed ip/unoriginal universe

Based

>the crowdfunding was for showing investors there is interest in the product
Kingdom Come's case, and game turned out to be great. Studio wasn't exactly professional, though.

Platformer

also
>Pixel Graphics
>Metroidvania
>Indie
>Roguelike

>souls-like
It's one thing when the braindead media does it, it's another when a dev and/or pub uses a another game to shill their shit.

>8- or 16-bit inspired
Majority of devs get it so wrong, from the music and sound, sprite-work, palette choices, and mechanics.

>zombies
Zombies, not-zombies, infected, and their ilk are absolute shit.

Season pass announced before release

This and 'online integration' ruin games for me.

This or "soul"

For new releases:
>western developer

>cute anime girls
>English voice acting only

Instant trash right there. I'm full up sick and done tired of 50 year old western whores pretending to be 14 and every fucking English VA not understanding what moe or cute actually is so they just default to "fake porn moans".

If my friends are recommending it, it must be trash.

These pretty much 100% confirm my wallet stays shut whenever I hear them.

the game has a low population that is only supported by retards from Yea Forums and reddit

alternatively
>the dark souls of [genre]

The word diveristy used for anything other than gameplay/level design.

>controller support

90% games are designed for casuals.

>f2p but you can buy items to circumvent real time limits or easily get overpriced items

I automatically get uninterested even if the game is good.

List me some good games with that description because I can't find any.

>US/Canadian Devs

hollywood trash
narrative designers
western sony exclusives

Cinematic, story focused, narrative experience.
I want to play a GAME not go through some crap an idiot made because they couldn't rape their way into Hollywood.

Nobody even used the word diversity 10 years ago, they would say variety instead.
If they use that word at all, you know how they are ideologically aligned.

Several.

>Ebin Stor
>Denuvo
>DLC talk from the start
>microtransactions

>MMO

>advertises it as skill based
>only if you reach the level cap and upgrade your gear to +5000

Is this your first day here?

Diversity, women, game has to make a political statement, also anything to do with microtransactions

Made in america.
