Most of the multiplayer ones and all of the ones that require voice chat.

There are so many interesting games I see that require internet multiplayer and voice chat. I would love to play them with friends but do not want to interact with random people in a game.

My beef is with the computer.

xbox has shadowbanned me or something so that my game chat doesn’t work. I can hear others but they can’t hear me.

I know it’s not a microphone issue because people can hear me in party chat.

This sucks

Squad has this problem for the first 5 mins in the pregame bit before you can leave the base.

Most of the interactions I’ve had after that period have been pretty positive

Pay to win games or games with heavy focus on in game purchases. Having an in game store to supplement development costs? Cool no problems. 5 interactions to get into a game but 1 interaction to purchase something? No thanks.

Not saying they can’t be fun. But not a practice I like to support if I can help it.

True, I had to spend money on some cosmetics on Injustice 2 once because that’s what Ed Boon wanted to put in his next DC fighting game that I read about which said he wanted to incorporate first-person shooter mechanics and trends into said game.

The first Injustice had none of that besides the downloadable content.

Sports games, most racing games, JRPGs, fighting games, party games, MMOs, soulsborne type games, precision platformers, dating sim games. None of these are inherently bad, I’ve just learned that I don’t get much out of them.

I’m curious what Soulsborne games you’ve tried? I was absolutely certain they weren’t for me, but I finally broke down and tried Dark Souls 3 cooperatively with friends. Not only is it my favorite genre now, but playing it that way was also the best gaming experience of my life.

Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, and God Of War. The genre just isn’t for me. I am bad at, and get frustrated with trying to get perfect timing against enemies to trade melee attacks. Simple as. The genre isn’t inherently bad, but I recognize when something isn’t for me.

Completely fair. I was pretty bad at them too, but the cooperative experience definitely flattened that curve!

General war and military style games. When I was younger, my favorite game was battlefield but as I got older, I lost interest in such games. I much prefer simulation and strategy games, abd games that are more relatable.
