Here's mine: I really don't care for visual novels. Unless it's something like Ace Attorney where a bit of menuing problem-solving is unconditionally vital to being immersed in the experience (not like 'oh no, which shirt do you think your crush would like? If you get it right you'll unlock a dialogue path where you'll see her bra' and more like actually feeling as though you're an idiot lawyer connecting the dots in a stroke of genius), a lot of them just seem like budget alternatives to making a cartoon.

I also really don't care for horror games anymore. I'm just done with running in teh dark frum teh spooky manster dat be eatin bahbies or whatever. I don't think there's enough stuff that does its homework with psychological unrest beyond the tropes everyone already knows about. You know what I want to see? A serious RPG that, around 10 hours in, starts screwing with the player. Adds or subtracts 1 from their inventory for some mundane item they have a lot of after every X rooms or X hours or so. Some patterned tile slightly off. Decrease the banked party member's health by 3 out of 647. Gaslighting the player until around 40 hours in, then everything finally snaps, and you realize that everything you knew about the mechanics was actually a clever lie that the game never promised you. Give me unease. Make me feel insecure and truly powerless. Don't throw me in yet another dark room with yet another monster of the week like I'm a god**** Power Ranger who forgot to pay the electric bill.

I got one: many game engines (including Unity) are trying to dumb down game development too much. It's okay to require some basic math and programming skills from game developers. We don't need a premade solution for every possible problem that might come up.

My opinion: platformers are great when player doesn't have double jump nor coyote time. This not only forces player to be more careful and think before jumping but also forces developers or at least level designers to design platforms, walls, traps etc properly. The goal is to ensure player can jump from platform to platform (if it's intended to be) safely while keeping the challenge.

I'm getting sick with platformers giving double jump and coyote time as default features.

The Berlin interpretation is one of the most creatively stifling I've come across in game design.

This is why Rogue Lites will always be superior to Rogue Likes, one is allowed creativity to refresh the genre, while the other must stick to remaking the same game forever.

Right.  My unpopular opinion: there are many nice things about classic roguelikes, like the complexity of the simulation, the clean grid-based turn-based mechanics, the non-modal combat, and even the use of ASCII graphics.  The main reason why I don't play classic rougelikes more is that I hate permadeath and random world generation.  As far as I'm concerned, rougelites kept the worst flaws of classic roguelikes while discarding everything that's good about them.

Another one related to Itch.io this time, but I think the site should enforce a minimum age policy and only allow people above 16 years of age to create an account. This site is overrun with children while some other users are very clearly mature, this is confusing and at times annoying when a kiddie just says something half-coherent or just chimes into adult conversations.

Here's mine: I only care about the story, and totally doesn't care about the game-play. Also, I'm playing adult visual novels, not for the lewd content, but rather for the story, which is in many cases much better than you may think. Furthermore, I prefer to use GNU/Linux as an operating system.

I also note ps1 graphics can be due to hardware limitations. My laptop has 256mb vram integrated! My other test machine only has 64mb dedicated! I build with in the restrictions of the hardware. I basically build games to suit 64mb cards. Some even down to 32mb! I've had machines from early 00s and I reckon a high machine from late 90s could manage a few of my games.
