If I can't skip cutscenes or dialogue, I stop playing. I want to see if I like the gameplay before I invest any time or attention into the story. If the gameplay is good, I'll go back and watch the intro to the story.
>If I can't skip cutscenes or dialogue
it's a fucking nightmare when it comes to replay, that's why i never touched farcry 3 and 4 ever again after beating it
Watch Dogs. Into had a quick time event to block someone. I wanted to see what happens if I didn't block it. After 10 seconds it blocked for me anyway. I alt f4ed and uninstalled.
I've stopped playing (emulating) several retro games cause I felt like I wasen't getting a "authentic enough" experience.
I'm so autistic that I have to make a mental effort in order to not stop playing retro games over this reason.

Wish I could disagree but honestly if the dev is smart enough they will find a way to make the gameplay the literal first thing you see and slowly ease the story in. Inscryption let you complete the first section of the game before even thinking about telling you why you are even playing in the context of the story. Like if a game NEED a story they will find a way to give you a reason to even care BEFORE they show it off. People don't play games to see the next bit of the story, they play games to get to the next section of the gameplay. The story should enchant the gameplay and the gameplay should be what make you give a fuck about the story whatsoever, not the other way around that AAA studios seem to think. Hell even in objectively good games like Mario Sunshine people fucking wish they could skip the intro on replays. No one fucking cares about the story if the story is exactly what is holding back the gameplay.
Couldn't agree more, especially if the story shit is unskippable. Fucking Monster Hunter World, I'll never get to try the gameplay.

Games will always be worse than movies anyway. I can't take seriously a mute protag made in a custom character creator that I can wiggle in circles and jump like an ape. And graphics are way worse too. I don't understand how this medium attracted so many filmmakers. It's like a bunch of dropouts from film school decided to use games as their outlet.
the idea of "its a movie but you can control the outcome" sounds great on paper till you add the human part >why i can't do that? >why i can't answer that? >why only those answers? >why i can decide how to do that?
and add for each retarded idea any human can think
super smooth controls everyone praised actually sucked to play
this, especially if theres random mystery meat buttons for things that shouldve been submenus
why do so many companies and websites nowadays cum their pants at ruining what was already good this year (wikipedia, steam desktop, paypal, local ice cream parlors)
Not being able to fully customize or remap the controls is a huge turnoff. There is literally no excuse for it, and no, I shouldn't have to do it in the accessibility settings.
in totk after accidentally stumbling on the zora dungeon and cheesing it, when the same cutscene played out I knew what this game was doing and returned it right after
Unskippable intro tutorial for a driving game. I'm already a retard I don't want the game pretending its sentient enough to know that. I just want to get into the first course and plow my vehicle into the barricades of the first turn and figure out the rest later
A game that used "they" for normal people and when I opened the Steam boards there was a pinned thread where the dev was justifying it by citing a 2 paragraph blog written by a woman working as an editor, that claimed singular "they" was used as far back as 1600 based on a story except she failed to mention that it was used for a character that was royalty
Seeing foids in a game that isn't a porn game is another reason to stop play. If I wanted to see women in a videogame, I'd play a porn game, end of discussion.
If I launch a game and it's a 3rd person game, the first thing I do is stand straight ahead and walk to the side. If the character does not immediately run that direction, for example, if they do that slow turn like in RDR or GTA, I immediately Uninstall/refund

Probably Azure Striker Gunvolt where I got to the level with the non-binary boss and just kind of lost interest in the game after playing the level, then uninstalled it a couple weeks later.

Had awful eye adaptation shit whenever you'd go from indoors to outdoors, like 5 full seconds of either blinding light or complete darkness, with no way to toggle it
Was hoping sequel was going to fix this but then I saw it in some gameplay trailer, dropped
Starfield. When I started the game the first thing I saw was a chink woman bossing me around and not allowing me to kill her or even move away from her ugly bug eyes. I refunded the game before even passing the intro. Are they purposely trying to humiliate people or something?
i bought AC Syndicate last night on Steam and i almost refunded the fucking thing because the game has a completely unskippable 5-minute cutscene at the beginning that prevents me from even changing graphical settings or resolution
Terraria, for having 2-pixel eye. It's anime style, and I don't like anime. Starbound graphics is fine, eye is one-pixel dot. So yeah, one pixel is sometimes enough.
I forgot about it for a week and now there's a block in my brain that stops me from reopening it, or it's trying to convince me that I need to restart it from scratch

this is always such a shit because it trivializes all combat especially if your inventory for healing items isn't restricted or it doesn't stop you from spamming as many as you want during pause
GTA SA is one of the best representation of morons ever. You're a black guy from the hood full of other blacks. NPCs ethnicities make sense. gays are concentrated in San Fierro. So yeah San Andreas is good

i closed the game and refunded. perhaps petty but I was barely hanging onto this game and you can fuck off with your arbitrary closing dates
My first hired crew member in Sunless Skies was a nonbinary chud. I made it a personal rule to never play chud games ever again, so I ditched it right then and there.

Vice City is the best of the old GTA's. No need to waste time with SA.

FFXIV, because the lift attendants give a popup asking if you REALLY want to take the lift that you came to the npc for, every time. So instead of just talking to the npc to be transported, you have to navigate an extra box for no reason.
Usually, things like this get put in place to prevent accidental interactions, so popups like that have their place. In this case however, the amount of players who would accidentally interact with the npc is so small that the net effect is everyone losing time fiddling with the popup to save a few seconds for 0.001% of the population. Now everyone has to waste time.
They don't respect my time -> I quit.
That's par for the course with mmorpgs in general, so I actually expect them to pad out playtime like a bunch of scumbags. But they lose my respect when it's obviously down to incompetence instead of greed.

Frogun sucks but I suggest you go back to baba is you and try to think outside the box a bit more, it'll make you a better gamer overall. Puzzle games are just good at doing that.
That's very common with games, I find. Something keeps you from just "being in the mood" to play some specific game. That's how backlogs tend to form. You just gotta power through that mental block and force yourself to boot it up, break the cycle so speak

there used to be this flash game called invincible or indestructible or something. basically, you and some other people are put into power suits that made you invincible. you're in an underground bunker and there's an AI running the facility that is programmed to attempt to kill you in any way that it can.
eventually, you're challenged by an aussie guy and you and some other person freeze-ray him and the combined power kills him. the AI then learns that you can be killed with enough energy. i quit the game because i thought it was stupid thaf the game didn't resemble its namesake. the game has technical issues after this point too. it was fully voice acted, i miss flash games and i miss the indy scene before every gay started crowdfunding.
>game has melee >enemy doesn't react in any way, just flashes when he gets hit >they try to make it look cool with particle effects and camera shake but I feel nothing
I'm so sick of this. Nobody innovates on combat anymore. Give me smash bros physics or something. Let me knock enemies off the edge or slice them up.
When I was 13 I quit KOTOR because I only played on autosave and lost 15 hours of gameplay when I let my older brother try the game out when he was visiting for Christmas. I liked the game, I just was so mad that I never launched it again.
Ah, the amount of games my older brother has stopped playing because my dumb ass saved my games over his.... And I never fucking learned either, I accidentally did the same shit to a friend a couple years ago.
any game where you have to hold a button to confirm or do certain actions. I noticed this is becoming extremely common in modern games, I pirated nu-GoW to see what it's like and you literally have to hold a button for like 5 seconds to buy a skill. do the devs think the average person is so fucking retarded that you can't even be trusted to look the choices and ponder them for a bit before making your decision?
Enemy bodies disappearing only after a couple of seconds.
Fromsoftware nailed it with the ragdoll enemy bodies.
No ragdolls and shitty death animation
Holy based. If I can't make a mess and appreciate it after combat the game is gay
If I can't skip cutscenes or dialogue, I stop playing. I want to see if I like the gameplay before I invest any time or attention into the story. If the gameplay is good, I'll go back and watch the intro to the story.
That seems like a pretty good habit to have, anon. Neat.
That's why I never replayed max Payne 3, gun play is great but you only get a couple of minutes before an epileptic inducing cutscene kicks in.
>If I can't skip cutscenes or dialogue
it's a fucking nightmare when it comes to replay, that's why i never touched farcry 3 and 4 ever again after beating it
Watch Dogs. Into had a quick time event to block someone. I wanted to see what happens if I didn't block it. After 10 seconds it blocked for me anyway. I alt f4ed and uninstalled.
Doesn't the new God of War game have something similar? QTEs but time basically stops unless you hit the button, so there is no risk at all.
I refunded RDR2 after seeing my old west outlaw gang had women, black women, and a mexican in it
I downloaded it from PSplus Extra, and uninstalled after it took damn near 10 minutes to look items from a single room.

Always use native resolution
Only integer scale, get a 1440p or 4K monitor so 240p and 480p can fit
Use the most accurate Retroarch cores for each system, software renderer if available
Use a proper CRT and NTSC shader, get a 1440p or 4K monitor so it renders correctly

But my father in law has an old CRT that I could get repaired, but I never had the time to do it.

Genshin for not having a skip cutscene button
Celeste for being trans propaganda
yknow, i would disagree with you if i hadnt seen several mentions of "why Celeste made me realise im trans" so i dont really have a leg to fucking stand on here
the dev became a chud and said Celeste was his allegory. the ending also hints that the Celeste girl is supposed to be a chud.
This is why you stay away from pixel art games.

Falling tower in the lava-filled street at night? That one has like 1/4 the time as the others for some reason. Pretty much always gets me too
I dropped Phantom Hourglass and didn't try Spirt Tracks at all because of the controls.
controls are a pretty big reason, no one is going to fault you on that
no one sane
>adjust the slider until the logo is barley visible
Um... no. How about you do your job and don't outsource fixing your game's brightness to me.
The settings they want you to have makes it so you can't see shit in dark areas. Operation Raccoon City is a perfect example of this.
Had awful eye adaptation shit whenever you'd go from indoors to outdoors, like 5 full seconds of either blinding light or complete darkness, with no way to toggle it
Was hoping sequel was going to fix this but then I saw it in some gameplay trailer, dropped
Starfield. When I started the game the first thing I saw was a chink woman bossing me around and not allowing me to kill her or even move away from her ugly bug eyes. I refunded the game before even passing the intro. Are they purposely trying to humiliate people or something?
and they consider it a rpg when there isn't choices
i bought AC Syndicate last night on Steam and i almost refunded the fucking thing because the game has a completely unskippable 5-minute cutscene at the beginning that prevents me from even changing graphical settings or resolution
Subtitle option was broken, even if I turned it on they wouldn't show. Not hard of hearing or anything, but I need them shits with my gameplay.
I dropped Bravely Default right at the intro cutscene because the story sounded too generic.
Terraria, for having 2-pixel eye. It's anime style, and I don't like anime. Starbound graphics is fine, eye is one-pixel dot. So yeah, one pixel is sometimes enough.
I forgot about it for a week and now there's a block in my brain that stops me from reopening it, or it's trying to convince me that I need to restart it from scratch
>t. friendless loser
>Online stranger
>Agrees with you
>You consider them your friend
>being over-representen in a setting where they don't belong.
Crappy setting is pretty valid reason, it's not small.
Although morons do belong in future, sadly. West, get your shit together.
Why do you have a picture of two men making out saved Anon?
Why are you looking at photos online of two men making out?
Having to sign into ANY third party accounts. FUCK YOU, LET ME PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT MAKING ANOTHER GODDAMN ACCOUNT FOR YOU TO FLOOD MY EMAIL WITH!
>PD3 is doa for me because of this
PD3 is DOA because
>online only, no offline play period
>"nebula" account which actually bricked my friend's progress in PD2 so I simply never reinstalled to "migrate"
>they want to control modding with an iron fist, if they're not simply outright lying about allowing them at all
It'd be a shame if we didn't see starbreeze's greed coming since PD2's release. That company has actually tried to branch out from Payday and failed every time. They're the Swedish DE
that's cool and all, but it doesn't explain why you have gay kissing saved on your computer anon
>that's cool and all, but it doesn't explain why you have gay kissing saved on your computer anon
Because I am bisexual, problem? If you want to be one of my twinks, I'll need you to shave your ass first.
Ah, I had a feeling we were dealing with a degenerate. Funny how you morons always manage to stick out one way or the other.
There's like 3 anons dunking on you kiddo.
Vice City is the best of the old GTA's. No need to waste time with SA.
>There's like 3 anons dunking on you kiddo.
You mean that you're using your phone, pc, and console to make replies. You're literally the only person in this thread that gives a fuck about my presence here, I find it flattering, but I need to leave for work. It was fun kiddo.
Good luck sucking all those dicks Anon. Thanks for the laughs.
not the person you are replying to but if they are gay or bisexual then that is not an insult
yes it is, prostitution is shameful
Couldn't agree more!!!!
Fastest I ever dropped a game was Drakensang: Dark Eye. Germans don't know how to design interesting games.
Uninstalled vtmb yesterday even though i liked the game because the hotel was too scary
Real time combat but healing in a pause menu.
this is always such a shit because it trivializes all combat especially if your inventory for healing items isn't restricted or it doesn't stop you from spamming as many as you want during pause
I drop games whenever there's a fag/chud in it. Or an over-representation of morons
I implore you to give GTA:SA another chance.
GTA SA is one of the best representation of morons ever. You're a black guy from the hood full of other blacks. NPCs ethnicities make sense. gays are concentrated in San Fierro. So yeah San Andreas is good
It's just good in general, GTAIV doesn't come close despite all the TECHNOLOGY on hand
lmao this
nta , i dropped it around 61% completion rate at release and i dont expect to go back ever
how i managed to play so much of that shit game is beyond me
>download stardew valley
>dick around on my farm for 20 minutes, not having much fun
>bored with the game and hate the artstyle but it has so many glowing reviews I figure itll be worth it
>decide to go into town to see if things get interesting the next ingame day
>click on store door
>[this store is closed on wednesdays]
i closed the game and refunded. perhaps petty but I was barely hanging onto this game and you can fuck off with your arbitrary closing dates
Honestly understandable
My first hired crew member in Sunless Skies was a nonbinary chud. I made it a personal rule to never play chud games ever again, so I ditched it right then and there.
>launch game
>see social media buttons
>quit game
Good call anon they're almost always some kind of slop
Vice City is great but SA is one of if not the only great game in it with a majority black cast and is the exception so it's worth playing, great soundtrack too and both talk radios are fun as fuck
>download game
>notice immediately it is being used as a vehicle to push lbgtq propaganda and brainwash playerbase
>uninstall game
>repeat
>repeat
>repeat
>repeat
I won't touch any piece of media if there's too many brown people in the marketing. You'd think this is a small annoyance but it happens so frequently now that it's become a serious problem.
I won't be playing Starfield.
I just uninstalled AC6 when a boss kept jumping to the other side of the arena and making me chase him for the entire fight like the elden beast. Fix your fucking terrible AI holy shit.
>used to play iracing quite a lot years ago, was a massive newbie back then
>had tons of fun, learned a whole lot
>fast forward 5+ years
>decent at racing now, not an alien but can hold my own
>buying iracing subscription every now and then
>every time i get subscription, i drive one-two races, usually doing well and finishing in top three
>then I drop the game, not to spoil the good experience I just had
shit sounds like a ptsd response honestly
MC was less likable than the villain.
horrifically inconsistent fall damage in dark souls 2 made me quit it release day when a fall that wouldve done like 60% in ds1 killed me from full health

FFXIV, because the lift attendants give a popup asking if you REALLY want to take the lift that you came to the npc for, every time. So instead of just talking to the npc to be transported, you have to navigate an extra box for no reason.
Usually, things like this get put in place to prevent accidental interactions, so popups like that have their place. In this case however, the amount of players who would accidentally interact with the npc is so small that the net effect is everyone losing time fiddling with the popup to save a few seconds for 0.001% of the population. Now everyone has to waste time.
They don't respect my time -> I quit.
It's FF14, respecting your time is not even on their list of priorities.
That's par for the course with mmorpgs in general, so I actually expect them to pad out playtime like a bunch of scumbags. But they lose my respect when it's obviously down to incompetence instead of greed.
that's fair
>want to get into final fantasy because it always looked interesting
>buy ff13 or whichever that has the lightning chick
>10 seconds in and already a moron on screen (in my japanese vidya)
>alt f4 and instant refund
>op: expose yourself as a pedantic crybaby
This is a terrible thread full of mental illness.
>ni no kuni 2
Didn’t want to play the shitty war mini game
>hollow knight
Didn’t want to play with a guide
>baba is you
I was using a guide too much
>frogun
Felt clunky libe an actual n64 game
>sakuna of rice and ruin
Wasn’t progressing for whatever reason
Frogun sucks but I suggest you go back to baba is you and try to think outside the box a bit more, it'll make you a better gamer overall. Puzzle games are just good at doing that.
I got kinda far honestly my first playthrough but then when i put it down and try to replay it I can’t get back into it.
That's very common with games, I find. Something keeps you from just "being in the mood" to play some specific game. That's how backlogs tend to form. You just gotta power through that mental block and force yourself to boot it up, break the cycle so speak
Dev read somewhere that hitstop = game gudder and went balls to the wall with it, it was fucking obnoxious
I dropped Sea of Stars because the writers just REFUSED to use commas.
Most of the time, it's just because the game wasn't fun.
The simplest reason is always the best.
Not exactly petty, but I had to drop Snoot Game because I couldn't force myself to play out the bad endings
>don't like the setting
dropped
>opening cutscene/lore dump is boring
dropped
>floaty combat
dropped
>shitty music or writing
dropped
>takes too long to get interesting
dropped
I finish maybe 5% of games I play.
If your game is on steam and you ask me to make an account on your shit game, im refunding hard.
this
Unless the game is strictly online then needing accounts is absolutely unnecessary
there used to be this flash game called invincible or indestructible or something. basically, you and some other people are put into power suits that made you invincible. you're in an underground bunker and there's an AI running the facility that is programmed to attempt to kill you in any way that it can.
eventually, you're challenged by an aussie guy and you and some other person freeze-ray him and the combined power kills him. the AI then learns that you can be killed with enough energy. i quit the game because i thought it was stupid thaf the game didn't resemble its namesake. the game has technical issues after this point too. it was fully voice acted, i miss flash games and i miss the indy scene before every gay started crowdfunding.
I was quite enjoying Tales of Vesperia, but then one of the cutscenes was so retarded I just stopped playing 40 hours in. Never looked back.
I thought Geralt looked ugly in Witcher 1 and 2
>game has melee
>enemy doesn't react in any way, just flashes when he gets hit
>they try to make it look cool with particle effects and camera shake but I feel nothing
I'm so sick of this. Nobody innovates on combat anymore. Give me smash bros physics or something. Let me knock enemies off the edge or slice them up.
the gay krogan at the beginning of andromeda
No parry mechanic.
Any time I have to lose in order to know how to do something. So basically all souls games
When I was 13 I quit KOTOR because I only played on autosave and lost 15 hours of gameplay when I let my older brother try the game out when he was visiting for Christmas. I liked the game, I just was so mad that I never launched it again.
Ah, the amount of games my older brother has stopped playing because my dumb ass saved my games over his.... And I never fucking learned either, I accidentally did the same shit to a friend a couple years ago.
yeah I guess it was my just deserts for the times I had done it to him as a dumbass kid
MC was suddenly a black woman (layers of fear remake)
any game where you have to hold a button to confirm or do certain actions. I noticed this is becoming extremely common in modern games, I pirated nu-GoW to see what it's like and you literally have to hold a button for like 5 seconds to buy a skill. do the devs think the average person is so fucking retarded that you can't even be trusted to look the choices and ponder them for a bit before making your decision?
