It was surprisingly refreshing that when I preordered FFVII Remake all they offered me was a phyiscal Shinra ID badge.

I miss those pre order bonuses.

When the genre starts with "rogue"

Lack of an active block or parry mechanic. This one is weird, I know. But I just immediately lose all interest without a block or parry mechanic. Edit: In games mostly focused on melee combat

I guess the only instant turn-offs are genre-related and focus on multiplayer, but a few things that make me very cautious are:

1. No checkpoint before boss fights
2. Puzzle-heavy
3. Long, huge, etc.

absolute shit controls. rockstar games have shit controls but they have other things to make up for it so i can give it a pass.

But games like pubg, with the shit controls. It can fuck right off.

I love when Paper Mario games give you dialogue options that are like:
  • okay
  • i guess ...
  • if you say so

Escort missions

Underwater missions

Forced stealth in something that's not a stealth game

Boss battles where you're supposed to die in RPGS

Artificially hard AI that cheats to make themselves seem hard

EDIT: I also forgot to mention the forced dance mini game that you need to complete to advance the plot

It's in one of the gbc zelda oracle games and in kingdom hearts 2
