Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.
Agreed. Given how many people are sucked in by dark patterns, I’m very pleased there’s a contingent who is actively turned off by them, who refuses to reward that kind of design. I’ll let it go in a game that seems otherwise quality, but it does count against you in the “are you an actual game or just freemium/predatory bullshit” assessment.
