I don’t mean to go against the spirit of the thread, but I don’t avoid anything. I only go after what I want. No one is trying to force PSX games on me
ooh, can I be the first then? Buddy, you gotta play SPYRO THE DRAGON, that game is the pinnacle of the loveable skrunko genre. You get to play as the titular Spyro, a plucky little dragon dude. How cool is that? So when’re you gonna start your first playthrough?
Skunkro?
Beat the trilogy!
Play it again.🔫
😳
Ah, touché.
Ah, but if you only go after what you want, then by definition you’re avoiding what you don’t want.
Not actively. It’s not like it was a conscious decision, so I wouldn’t even be able to tell you what I was avoiding
Games with “tank” controls like Tomb Raider or Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver. I find them painful and unenjoyable.
Yuck, yeah. I remember so much of the tension in the first Resident Evil was fighting with the damn controls. It’s like trying to run away from something in a dream, and your body isn’t doing what you want it to!
<shudder>RE with QWOP controls
SR1 was nowhere near as bad as Tomb Raider. The combat was a bit boring and the puzzles were repetitive, but the platforming was significantly more viable than Tomb Raider.
I mean, I haven’t touched either game in over two decades, and I only briefly played Tomb Raider versus the hundreds of hours I spent in all the Legacy of Kain games, and I frequently watch cutscene “movies” of the LoK titles, but I’m sure that hasn’t created a bias in me whatsoever.
I want to like LOK:SR, but I can’t get past how much I dislike how it controls.
I agree that Tomb Raider is worse though.
This opinion is unpopular among all but one of my friends, but I actually find tank controls to be fairly intuitive. If I haven’t played one in a while it takes me about 10 minutes to adjust, but after that, it is second nature for me. But I did play a ton of RE as a kid. Maybe that’s why.
Nothing wrong with knowing what you like. I grew up on arcades and early generation consoles, so my preference skews towards faster paced games with tight controls. Because of that I just don’t enjoy anything that I perceive as slow to control. To be fair though, any games from those early generations that felt slow to control didn’t appeal to me either.
I have to stay away from first-person games because they make me super nauseous.
You must be puking non-stop IRL
I never played a resident evil game.
I played through part of RE7 Biohazard and it made me want to try the others but I never got around to it
Games that look so much better on another console or PC. Like the top-down GTA games.
This is the main category for me, if it’s a ported PC game I’ll play it on PC (quake 2, command & conquer, etc)
Games released on the last days of the PlayStation. Games such as RoboCod, Barbie, etc.
