Internet connection for single-player games. Dumbest shit ever.

Also, a personal pet peeve is shitty UI and UX. There have been so many games that have come out recently with such bad UI that it makes me gag.

On release dlcs.

Releasing unoptimized games with shader and traversal stutters.

I’m gonna be honest. The Free to Play model as a whole needs to rot in a hole. The monetization in all of these games are so overpriced and in your face that at that point I’d rather spend money on a full priced game. But they make way more money than a single $60 purchase ever would that its never going away. It’s probably the main reason why so many multiplayer FPS games are so dogshit nowadays

People just repeating thoughtless takes from annoying YouTubers without thinking for themselves.

paid online multiplayer for consoles

Releasing games for PC that are not optimised and pushing use of DLSS or FSR to compensate for loss of frames.

The player standard that it’s possible or reasonable to expect a corporation to ignore its deadlines and delay games indefinitely until they’re perfect.

Stop pre-ordering and buying games on release day. There’s nothing more ludicrous than the guy who complains he’s constantly being disappointed by games they buy on release. Don’t be a dummy. You’re responsible for your own misery. Let other people be the guinea pig for you.

AAA TITLES. AAA GRAPHICS. GTA 5. MICRO TRANSACTIONS. BATTLE PASS. OPEN WORLD. BANNING TOXIC PROXIMITY CHAT.

Chromatic. Fucking. Aberration.

Also film grain.

games as a service

Cluttered UI and marks and waypoints for every damn thing

Games as a service. I’m tired of this kind of business model as I feel that most games aren’t made with love anymore.

F2P but P2W is bad. Should be called free to lose

Lack of private server support. I get why they do it, but those reasons are also things that should die.
