Curious what overused terms or trends immediately turn you off on a game?

for me its as soon as someone utters the word survival crafting. im out of the door and shutting it by the time "craf" is uttered. tired of this genre and 95% of them are garbage.

whats yours?

Agree. I don’t even like basic crafting shite. Even TLOU was too much for me.

Battle Royale

I enjoy it for a bit, but now that I'm older, I don't have time to devote to developing the skill required to keep pace with the average.

i still enjoy a good roguelike, but yeah, it is definitely a overused genre.

"Survival Horror"

But that's mostly because I'm a bitch when it comes to those games.

One of a very select few that I didn't mind. Very limited resource/material pool (7), very limited craftable pool (6), simple and intuitive. Molotov = alcohol and rag, shiv = blade and binding, etc. As you pick things up, you're making mental notes of what those can produce.

Where I lose my frickin mind is shite like "6 skunk scalps, 4 hippo feet, 8 moon pies, 10 raccoon tails, and a dinosaur bone = a new quiver that hold 3 more arrows." frick off

"Forced stealth"

Instant failure/death when spotted is my biggest turn-off.

This was released after the glorifying of criminals and the support of a domestic terrorist organization.

MOOVIE games

Watch cutscene, walk slowly while characters talk about feelings, scripted action set piece that probably has QTEs, get excited for next cutscene.

Always online is big turn off to me. It keeps me from playing Fallout 76.

It's getting to a point where games made in unreal engine are a turn off. Most people don't put in the work to actually make their own style so they all end up having the same generic look/feel to them.
