You could just say you don't like them, you stuck up troglodyte.


The troglodyte is the guy that needs a daily serotonin bump from finding a new colored loot item in a level that they've played dozens of times fighting bosses that they've killed dozens of times. Think about how sad that is. Mindlessly chasing the colored item explosion that erupts when you kill a boss, desperately trying to find a new weapon that gives you +0.4% accuracy or some other equally meaningless upgrade, all so you can run the same levels and fight the same bosses over and over again

I almost feel sorry for people that enjoy this stuff. Got a game just for yall: Cookie Clicker

Don't. They're probably having just as much fun as the people playing the same BR games over and over.

I mostly agree with you and that's why many MMOs have scaled down the random drops. Usually it's some type of currency everyone gets that you use to upgrade your items. Granted it means you still have to repeat content but at least there is a set amount times to run things to achieve said upgrade.

The hitman series. I'm not a fan of the games where you are forced to play stealthy. Maybe it's changed but the one I played a long time ago felt like you were playing stealth 80% of the time. I like to play Leroy Jenkins style




I always want to sneak around....

For all of 10 min. in a mission.... then I get bored and Leroy Jenkins the rest of it.

F*ck yes. I HATE forced stealth. I'm currently struggling with AC: Black Flag, The Medium, and Call of Cthulhu because they all have that BS, "oooh, someone saw you! You ded/mission failed." It sucks because those game mechanics are typically found in genres that I otherwise enjoy.

COD. Or almost any online FPS. I play like 5 matches and get bored, I don’t see how people play COD all day every day.

Zelda. This would seem right up my alley and I remember how huge OOT and majoras mask were when they came out but for whatever reason they just did not appeal to me when I’d watch my cousins and friends play them. They seemed very tedious and the sound affects were annoying. I’m sure I’d have liked them if I have them a shot though

Dark Souls-I admittedly just suck at it. I’ve tried to get good and learn from my mistakes and learn the timing and all that but I’m just not patient enough for it. which is a shame because i do believe it’s a great series just from watching playthroughs. I never even got past the Capra Demon in the first one and it took me forever the beat the rooftop gargoyles . A buddy of mine started playing it the same time I did and blew through all 3 in a couple months, he couldn’t put the controller down which made me more annoyed. He just instantly got it. He still gives me shite for not finishing

I never cared about Gears until Gears 5 hit Games with Gold on Xbox recently. It was ok, but not anything that would make me pay $60 for the next installment.

Pretty much all strictly FPS-based games. No Halo. No COD. No Battlefield since BF1942.

Never played a battle royale or whatever it’s called. I generally avoid multiplayer games. Zero interest.

WOW. Never played it.

Pokemon. Other than Go! for about 2 months when everyone was playing, zero interest.

Madden. I think the last (and maybe only but I legit can’t remember) one I played was when it was still called “John Madden” I’m not into NFL so I didn’t GAS about a video game about it.

Fighting games like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. I was never into them. Played MK with friends from time to time, but never cared for it. Button mashing with a friend until we could fire up another “better game”
