OT: I hate p2w games because I'm not paying $500 for a STUPID HAT IM LOOKING AT YOU TF2
TF2 isnt P2W
P2W is mostly on free mmos or games with micro -transitions where you can buy better weapons/classes to get a head start, or a bundle pack that say:
Gives 2 weeks of double exp (or similar)
Gives weapons that are normally stronger than normal weapons for your level
TF2 however isnt pay to win because:
99% of all weapons have balances that make them more or less just as good as the stock weapon
You can get every non-reskin weapons from random drops, or if your very impatient, can get each and every unique weapon for about a cent each
The objects that DO cost more than a dollar are purely cosmetic, and do not alter game play what so ever. This covers the cheapest stranges to the most expensive unusual.
I hate REAL P2W games, like games with lots of micro-transitions that streamline the game (Phone games, waiting games, etc),
games that restrict you from most of the features without paying a monthly fee (Most MMOs, namely runescape. I do not hate MMOs, just MMOs that claim to be "free"
I hate developers who put their game on steam under "Alpha access" and dont get the job done.
This would include games like Starbound and Pixel piracy.
This doesn't includes games like KSP, Starmade, Prison architect, or other games that actually update with content and are actively fixing bugs and stuff.
Speaking of starbound, i hate developers that promise one thing but give something completely different
(Starbound was promised to be an open space exploration game, but has instead became a linear game with an open space exploration mask.)
I hate really long tutorials in games that dont need it.
Civ V, some space games with LOTS of features, etc. are an exceptions, but FPS games shouldn't need a long tutorial, if at all. Id prefer hint boxes that can be turned off instead.
Along the same lines, i hate not being able to skip said tutorial.
I dont like not being able to speed up chat boxes. This is more prevalent in older games, such as Ocarina of Time and Castlevania games. I like it if when you press a or b it either speed its up or outright finishes "typing" the text immediately.
One more recent dislike is the Xbox 360s D-Pad. Makes playing some PS1 games a bitch because its not as well made as Playstations D-Pad.
