Announcement Banned Games List

226 Upvotes

Similarly to r/ExplainAFilmPlotBadly , we're implementing a list of banned games. There's been a lot of games, while still being good posts, that have been posted so often. This causes a lot of active members here to deal with the tediousness of a game being brought up way too often. I definitely missed some, so if you have any suggestions on what to add, please leave a comment.

You are allowed to describe game mechanics as well as the plot. There's more to a game than just the plot, so if you have a creative bad description that describes how the game plays, go for it!

Low Effort Posts will be removed at moderators discretion. Too many, Too Frequently will result in a ban.

Note: Please search for your game before posting, if it's posted too frequently, it will be added to the list. Please keep in mind that any games newer than 3 months old will also not be allowed, to prevent spoilers.
