Instantly kills interest:
Sports games
When a character is supposed to be one emotion, yet the portrait is the opposite
Heavy grind
Monthly fee
Heavily kills interest:
Overbearing difficulty
Bad voice acting/script
Microtransactions that break the game
MMO's where you click on the enemy and you both whack at each other without any real action
Short games
Moderately kills interest:
Annoying characters

On thing that I hate when only certain classes can be played be certain races, I understand it's like that for certain reasons however I just want to be an Elf.. Am I asking for too much? Also when girls can only be certain things and men can only be certain things yet there's no different variations of the same role. You sir are a man therefore you can only use all these heavy swords and Armour.

Oh there are a few things that take the p*ss:
Bad Camera angle crap....
When something claims its "Innovative" when actually its the same crap but used in a better graphics system.
Big ass Patches when the game JUST CAME OUT!! (Im looking at you Shogun,Total War 2! and all MMO's which is frankly why im put off by them in the first place.)
And the worst one is Glitchy AI's E.g. Left 4 Dead 1 + 2
Phew, now i feel better

Bad stealth mechanics. This doesn't nesscesarily apply to only steath games. It can be anything from enemies spoting you a mile away (and being able to shot you from that distance) to them being aware of your presance even though your around the corner, or training your sniper rifle on an enemy with his back turned but the moment the crosshair touches the enemy he becomes aware of you and dodges.
i like sneaking up on folks. even if a game isn't a stealth heavy game you should be able to at least shoot a guy with his back turned without worrying about him being psychic.

You haven't seen Gearbox's Official Forums. I've seen it recommended far too many times. They weren't confusing it as an MMO, they were just saying "Borderlands is an RPG, so let's make it an MMO!" Luckily not too many of the old-timers like me agree and usually get a lot of NOs.OldGus said:
Class-based singleplayer games.
Because you don't know what the game's going to be like, and if you choose the wrong class, then you're screwed for the rest of the game. A decision I really don't like making.

Turn-based combat, I just find it horrendously boring.
And praise. I don't know why but I can't stand it when somebody praises or continuously mentions a game.

"Exciting turn based strategy"
heh, the same for me OP. I like all strategy games, turn based and RTS, but if I'm looking for a strategy game, I typically first think of RTS, and when you find out it's turn-based, well, that's like finding out the milk you thought you were drinking is actually orange juice.
What else...
For me it's probably an ad on the box for "beautifully rendered cutscenes".
I don't want a game that prides itself on the parts that aren't a game.

ah im opposite of you, i generally don't like rts and love turn based, which is why i've destroyed so many days playing civ..Mcupobob said:
OT: i've been this way forever but i generally hate "first person", so anytime its' forced to be in first person i generally have a *sigh* when i first see it... not to say i don't enjoy some fps games, there are some great ones i cherish, but 99.99999999% of the time i prefer third person, so anytime there is a mod or a way to have it in third person i do.
