Are there any words or phrases that will instantly turn you away from a game?

[anvi]

If I am reading about a game and it says any of these things, I will just close the tab: Streamlined, exploration, story based, survival, early access, alpha, "addicting gameplay", awesome, arcade, stealth, achievements, horror, casual, anime, walking simulator, Blizzard, or EA.

Also usually Zombies but PVZ was an exception.

 

[anvi]

p.s. This shoulda been in General Gaming.

 

[TOUGH GUY]

No, games should be judged by their gameplay and content, not descriptions and blurbs.

 

[Cyberarmy]

"survival"

 

[Howdy]

"Rpg"

No, games should be judged by their gameplay and content, not descriptions and blurbs.

Pro tip, if it says any of those things it has no gameplay or content.

"Rpg"

No I know marketin is retarded on best o games.

Tell a lie, wunt touch bioware wi a shitty stick.

 

[Jacob]

card game, since the only card games i'd touch are the ones that uses traditional playing cards

there are some other phrases that turns me off but i'm usually willing to give it a second chance if someone convinced me enough

"procedurally generated" and "tough moral choices" are the worst.
"crafting" is up there too, but it's less off-putting because in most games crafting can be safely ignored.

 

[Sigourn]

"Skyrim"
"Bethesda"

Generally because it will be used as a comparison.

 

[Villagkouras]

Yeah stuff like procedural generated, crafting, stealth, collectibles, open world are not bad at all, but it's almost guaranteed that they will be implemented poorly.

So, I'm gonna stick with Denuvo.

 

[Somberlain]

Roguelike elements
Early access
Procedurally generated open world
Zombies

To me "procedural generated" and "open world" (not talking about RPGs for this one) stands for "we are too lazy to do proper level design"

 

[anvi]

Lol I forgot about crafting -.-
