are you asking about a single player game or an mmo?
because mostly asian games are the ones that are so bad it makes me wonder how can they be produced here in the west
WoW spoiled me too much - everything below its level is garbage for me
World of Warcraft spoiled everybody who has ever touched it. Mainly for me, its PvP. Its the only decent factor about the game I enjoy but I am not paying $15 a month for it nor am I paying for Cataclysm and Pandas.
1. Controls. An MMORPG with Point and Click is an instant killer. I can't stand point and click. I don't like having to play the piano with my MMOs either. * old DotA with its funky controls of going from pressing A for a spell to pressing like... K. *
2.Little to no direction early on.
3.No PvP early on... I can't stand having to wait till level 30 or something just to fight another player. Immediate killer.
4.Boring graphic style... IE, nearly every single Perfect World game.
5. No challenge. I don't mind fast level up, but when its coupled with an ingame bot, or monsters than I can auto attack down as a mage, I don't want any part of it.
6. Super broken premium shop. Yeah.. that sword you have there with your +4000 Physical damage and +90 E-Peen level, I got enough of those with WoW private servers. Pass.
7. Overly repetitive gameplay.. Vindictus is really the only exception to this. Elsword, Rusty Hearts.
I'm really picky when it comes to games...
Fantasy Earth Zero also really raised the bar for my pvp expectations... That game was fun.
Too much PVP Content, making the game heavily PVP Based.
Too many trolls fudging up the new players, etc.
Not enough customization for characters, even after years of waiting.
No balancing. *
*Note: True balancing means no OP classes in PVP Arenas, etc. (IE: Archmage in Grand Fantasia is OP.)
Only plays Magic DPS Classes, Healers and Machinist/Engineers.
Playing MMO: FFXIV (Balmung)
Waiting On: FFXV, KH3, Tree of Savior, RE:FFVII · Saving For: New Computer
just repetitive gameplay and i'll get bored. my friends move onto a new game and i move on with them. games keep quitting by itself =/ so then i'll stop playing.
