Not video games, but every time I pick up a book described as a "tour de force", I throw up a little in my mouth.

Lootboxes

Can't believe I forgot that one, but the online sorta covers it I guess.

With the exception of the Poker Night games, their games are just typical linear adventure games. It's not really the company so much as the type of game they make, and they're largely the only major game developer that makes them anymore.

I feel like usually "tour de force" means book with lots of "plot" and chapters that have like...five pages in them.

Not that I won't buy it, but a major turn off is 'Story-Driven'. 90% of the time it means that it's trying to cover up an obvious lack of gameplay with some hamfisted, highschool melodrama writing or that it's going to be a linear crapfest that drags me through a series of short set pieces. It will undoubtedly hinge the ending on some sort of moral dilemma or a 'who are the real monsters?' bait and switch, commonly with a commentary on something the gamer is perceived to be.

Also, 'Free-to-play'. I don't care how good it is, I'd honestly rather pay full retail price and not worry about how the company is going to keep supporting a game that, on the surface, is given away for free.

Except for lootboxes, nothing. I've played and loved all kinds of games so to dismiss something is stupid to me.
