Message: [QUOTE="Raziya The Seeker, post: 147368, member: 149867"] Simple. It stops being fun. And yes, plenty of games will have a moment where they lull. Just like a relationship, a game worth playing will be worth any and all suffering involved. When a game just isn't worth it any longer, it becomes bad. And some games, just like some people, will do this immediately. Others, further down the line. Personal pet peeves include: [LIST] [*]No variety in enemies or strategy, just blast away at the same samey baddies with the same samey damaging moves, rinse-and-repeat ad nauseum. It feels like too many JRPGs do that and it irks me. [*]No variety in the game's genre or subgenre, even the smallest thing to make it stand out. [*]No challenge whatsoever, or when the game loses its challenge for too long and gets boring. [*]Challenge for the wrong reasons -- unfair, grind-heavy, too damn hard, too RNG-dependent, buggy / janky, online play is easily cheesed by basement-dwelling troglodytes, et cetera. [*]Needing to break the game over my knee with exploits, broken builds, etc to stand a chance. [*]A section of the game that's too long in the tooth and becomes boring. [*]Bad music and/or sound design, doubly so for straight-up ear rape. [*]In games where story's involved, a lame-ass story that I don't want to see resolved. [*]Lame-ass characters I can't get behind, or would want to play as, even if story isn't important. [*]Excessive redundant items and equipment; hack-n'-slashes are often guilty of this. [*]When a remake alters the original too hard in terms of content and/or challenge, or leaves out stuff from earlier versions (thanks for the reminder, [USER=41573]@Evaccaneer Doom[/USER]) -- [I]Final Fantasy 1 Pixel Remaster[/I] is on my anti-bucket-list, and [I]FF1&2 Dawn of Souls[/I] on my 'never again' list for this reason, I'd rather play the version of FF1 in [I]Final Fantasy Origins[/I].
