All multiplayer games for over a decade
People are assholes and I just wanna have fun
Online multiplayer and soulslike games
More pvp souls for me weee
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. π€·ββοΈ
For me it's the fact that most of them aren't actually able to be beaten on any given run.
Multiplayer games that require invasive anticheat or really long games that take 100+ hours to complete.
online games.
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.
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.
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 theyβve fallen.
Iβm 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.
Microsoft was always cold blooded, you probably just weren't aware of it. Microsoft lost an anti-trust case and was almost broken up in 1998 for its practices, but appealed and came to an agreement with the government.
Add Sony too
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.
Moba, mmorpg, and COD
Same. Until valve made deadlock. Damn you valve
- 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.

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.
Fortnite. Noped right out of that one.
Closed-source games.
Which open source games do you play?
I would rate all of these, as worth a try:
Shattered Pixel Dungeon
Cube2:Sauerbraten
SGT-Puzzles
Andor's Trail
AssaultCube
Minetest
Neverball/Neverputt
PowderToy
0ad
Fillets-ng
Anuto TD
Xmoto/Bloboats
Flightgear
Kobo Deluxe
Enigma (oxyd)
LiquidWar5
H-Craft Championship
Numpty Physics
Wesnoth
The Dark mod
Have completed SuperTuxKart, BlobWars 1&2, Flare, Frozen Bubble, Hex-a-Hop, Holotz's Castle, SearchAndRescue II, Alex the Alligator, Project:Starfighter, Stormbaan Coureur, Trigger, etc
Used to enjoy Red Eclipse1.6, before it was retired.
I'm looking for the name of a FLOSS Quake1-mod, puzzle game, that was about placing gravity points to curve a stream of particles around the level, and eventually into the goal target. (May have used irrlicht) If anyone knows the name of this one, please let me know, it is my white-whale of games.
Can find details about most of the above games here:
https://libregamewiki.org/List_of_games
FLOSS gaming is excellent, thanks to all these devs and asset creators.
Why do you recommend liquid war 5 over 6?
IIRC, I prefer the physics and AI in LiquidWar 5.
LW6 may have caught up in the last 10 years, I've not tried it in a while.
Probably try both and see what you like.
Thanks, saving the comment for a deep dive later.
I would recommend Unciv. It's a Civ5 clone that is surprisingly feature filled. Written in Java so you can play on desktop or Android.
There is also FreeCiv but it tries to clone Civ2 which has dated mechanics by todays standards (but a lot of fans still I guess).

Gacha games.
I play Genshin Impact and one gacha is enough for me.
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
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 161.8Β°? How can you tell? HOW?
A lot of the time, the answer is actually cheating
Fallout 4 is an FPS and not an RPG?
I'm not sure how you're defining FPS but to me it's a mix of both.
It is an RPG that has blurred the line into FPS with its mechanics to the point where it has so much of both that trying to pedantically put it into a single category is pointless.
I actually had more fun with FO3 when I fought battles like an FPS instead of like an RPG with VATS or whatever.
