Deal Breakers...

"Free to Play" with non-cosmetic micro-transactions

Hey, this game looks interes—
"Zombies" "Survival" "Massive Multiplayer" "yet another indie platformer that tries to attract with an interesting cover image"

I updated my profile. ^^^

That's my reaction to price tags.

Coop games that are very well made but almost dead population(Looking at you Sanctum and Guns of Icarus).

Remember that tags are made by users, it doesnt always reflect the game's mechanics right.

I like Tales from the Borderlands

lisa?

also, most stuff you are looking for actually comes only (as a pack) in mmos. Archeage has crafting, beaches (and boats and sea combat too, plus fishing) and open world housing and because its open world and not instanced like its in most other games, decorations are a serious business :P

plus you could get a house on the beach, and for most of us thats the only way we are ever going to get a house on the beach so yeah... ^_^

When browsing games, do you ever find yourself drawn to a game... Only to notice a total deal breaker in its profile?

"these games look so nice, let's see: roguelike.... next, mmo... next, multiplayer only... next, permadeath... next, voxel... next, always online drm... next" *facepalm*

Sounds totally awesome

"turn-based"

Wat

I only like that in Total War series:p

"The RPG where CHOICES MATTER!"

Okay, cool, let's read a little further...

"Take control of Biff McWhiteguy, the world's most killingest soldier..."

Nope.

Ahh this game looks nice, combat?
Never mind. And that happens a lot :(

Hm, I think it depends on the gams as you can make something good and interesting with every genre. Normally I'm also looking for games in categories I'm interested more than excluding. But I think Multiplayer-Online (especially with PvP) is one thing I don't like.

Female seeking adventurous, creative game, with mature dialogue and good grammar. Humor is a bonus. Enjoys long walks on the beach, killing monsters, occasional crafting or farming, jumping on platforms, and interior decorating.

For the first part you may look at The Cat Lady. It has an creative setting, mature dialogue good grammar and between all the blood and depression there is sometimes a bit of humour. It is special in different ways some good, some bad. For the second part .... yea none of that is fulfilled.

The only language besides English listed on the store page is Russian.

"Requires UPLay"

Uplay, or Early Access :c

permadeath, procedurally generated, survival, turn-based and roguelike are generally tags I don't like

Zombies. I am absolutely, utterly sick to death of zombies. I like a post-apocalyptic setting along the lines of the Mad Max films or Wasteland and it seems to me that every single game that appears to be like that is a zombie apocalypse instead. It ruins it for me. There's nothing to do with zombies but slog through killing endless shambling hordes of the things and it ruins the game for me.

When a game brags about its old school difficulty. I like challenging games, but games that brag about their old school difficulty tend to be the bad kind of challenging, where "challenging" just means frustrating, and memorization is more important than skill.

Procedurally generated. I do like rogue-likes, and rogue-lites, but when an unknown indie title starts bragging about its procedurally generated levels, that's usually a bad sign, as the vast majority of them are terrible. And no, it's not laziness that motives developers to do this, making a game that does procedurally generated levels well is harder than doing hand crafted levels, my guess is that the reason why we see so many games like this is because the kind of people who develop games are likely to find the tech interesting.

Horror. I get haunted by shit pretty easily so even if I might enjoy something - say a certain zombie TV show, I will constantly think and dream of zombies anywhere I go. Close my eyes in the shower and I'll feel the need to open my eyes because there might be a zombie there. Watch my back everywhere I go.

Anything new that pops up on Steam Early Access with the tags "Survival" and "Sandbox" instantly gets the "Nope" button from me. Seriously it's like every talentless hack looking for a quick buck(and at times for a quick scam) flocks to this genre.

I run away whenever I see the RTS, Survival and Horror tags

turn-based, rogue-like, mmorpg, those tend to make me turn away and never look back.
But since sometimes I find stuff I like that match these tags I may give it a chance anyway.

Total dealbreakers: Dating Sim, Hidden Object, City Builder, Hacking, RPGMaker, Pixel Graphics, Top-Down

General dealbreakers that I'll make an occasional exception for: Survival, RTS, Point & Click, FPS, Platformer, Walking Simulator, Tower Defense, World War (I or II)
