    These days anything with a story honestly.

    If I want a story I’ll watch TV with my wife. When I play games I’d rather pay something short and fun, like a round of deadlock recently.

    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 161.8°? How can you tell? HOW?

    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’ve tried and bounced off several mobas at the request of my friends over the years, but Deadlock is really pulling me in recently. I was surprised too.

    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

    99.999% of them. I don’t desire variety. Give me one good game and I’ll waste infinite hours with it for the next 15 years. The newest game I’ve played is from 2018

      I’d love it you’d name a few. I like games you can get lost in for hours and always looking for others I may have missed.

        I’ll assume since I am someone else, but kernel level anti-cheat is basically Spyware, or at least a privacy concern.

        Yep, the other two commenters summed it up well: I’d rather not have software for a game that I play running and phoning home every time I boot my computer (in other words, a rootkit). I also am a Linux user, so they just don’t work for me.
