I’ll drop a game for damn near anything. Recent games I haven’t dropped are Frontiers, Violet, Vampire Survivor.

Recently I’ve dropped Scorn

I feel this 100%
When a game does this I instantly return it

Get a load of this guy

Any type of exploration. Ragnarok has been sitting since chapter 2 and do not think I am coming back to it

Y'all got some weird pet peeves ngl lol

I would say something like unresponsive/
unintuitive controls or bad camera. Some cameras really give me a headache and make it unplayable

When traversal is boring as s*** and slow with nothing interesting going on

No game has yet to make riding a horse fun

Only exception is Minecraft but yes

S***ty unfinished rushed games that don’t work on release

These exist? Wtf

idk about this you'll never know if you'll like a game or not till you actually try it. I don't like turn-based RPG's i find most of them piss easy with the story carrying them but i tried stuff like earthbound, undertale and FF and loved those games. Then there's witcher 3 has great reviews and it has a lot of things i want in a game but i still think it's f***ing garbage.

I dropped elden ring cos i got tired of killing things

Not having unlimited sprint.

Endless text dialogue with no voice acting. Idk maybe cause I slogged through FFXIV MSQ to reach Heavensward, but doing it made me realize I no longer care about a games story/plot. Nowadays I find myself tuning out or straight up skipping cutscenes. I’ve become the person I hated when I was younger

I stopped playing prince of persia cuz after every wave if enemies he does this dumb f***ing pose where he sheaths both blades and its unskippable, irrelevant, and so f***ing pervasive it never let me get into the game

Backtracking can get really annoying very fast

Playing sekiro, stopped for like a week now cuz i gotta find a scroll i had no idea about, which apparently is at the bottom of a lake? Like how tf am i supposed to know that. And i gotta fight some dude to learn the secret ninja art of… wait for it… DIVING UNDER WATER

Unfortunately that's almost every other game that's released nowadays

god so many things honestly.

too many waypoints/objectives in a huge empty open world (kind of sick of the genre in general rn)

poor game feel is a huge one for me

pacing, so many games limp to the finish line

overly complicated skill trees/crafting mechanics

crafting in general is so overplayed

poorly thought out mechanics (morality systems from the 00's for example)

TUTORIALS EVERY 10 SECONDS

bad story

just generally a bland and boring vibe (ubisoft/horizon zero dawn)

S***ty performance

I dont drop games

I dropped Persona 5 cause the stupid cat wouldnt let me do anything

Also the redundant dialogue overload I can do whacko 2 hour Kojima cutscenes all day but these anime games where they repeat the same mundane s*** over and over and over again makes my brain melt

YES I UNDERSTAND THE MAN IS BAD CAN WE JUST JUMP INTO HIS MIND AND MURDER HIM ALREADY JESUS

S*** is so terrible. It’s really unremarkable too. All previous maps are unique while that one doesn’t do a thing

GOW

puzzle games. I hated Jedi fallen order because of this

Lmaooo man

Even ones you don’t like?

Good post.
I forgot about morality systems. Those are awful
