Shan't be buying.
What are your immediate black flags?

That's a red flag you idiot

>>718587557
No.
Red flags make you worry about a game.
Black flags make you drop it instantly. No need to know more, I'm already out, thank you.

still the best pirate game

>>718587478 (OP)
cast looks like this

>>718587621
what is this woman lingo

>>718587478 (OP)
devs already planning a battlepass timeline or whatever its called before the game even fucking releases

>>718587621
The fuck? Red flag is the "no buy"

>>718587894
what about it is woman lingo

>>718588090
Red flags are warnings. They signal that the game might be something you don't like, but you're not sure yet.

yellow flag games?

There's so many good games in that genre

>>718588235
The black flag in naval terms means "surrender and give me your shit". In racing terms it means you've been a naughty boy or your cars fucked go to the pit stop. I don't see how either of those are as appropriate as a red flag.

>>718587621
Creating superfluous terminology comes with being a midwit

>>718588589
So now you moved the goalposts from "red flag means dropping it" to "black isn't the right color"?
aight

You're not going to be able to force this buddy, everyone just immediately thinks of pirates. Unless you mean "I'm interested in this game but not enough to buy it therefore I shall be pirating it"?

>>718588593
And guess what being mad about pedantic shit like this makes you

That clearly makes him a ergbojusaerbvoisrbasejhovbakjhv ojeagb aojebgaoevbaeovbe;ovba;evbvea. That's a cool new term I just made up. It means "nice person". Don't forget the semi-colons otherwise it means "fuckwit".

What's your purple flag for a game?

>>718587557
Red flags are warnings that may mean the game will suck or just isn't for you.
A black flag is something that automatically makes the game an avoid for you.

>>718587478 (OP)
It's an AAA game made after 2011

>>718589321
I think we need to establish what a blue flag is first before that. So according to OP's autism it's:

Green flag: Positive sign
Red flag: Negative sign
Black flag: Instant no nonsense drop it

Would a blue flag be something that calms you down? Or maybe relate it to "bluepills" and have it be a negative thing that you've learned to just give up and accept?

>>718587478 (OP)
Multiplayer-only focus on a series or franchise that has always been singleplayer first and foremost even when it had co-op and PvP (guess which game I didn't buy this year for that reason)
A few genres I simply don't like (I don't think they're bad, simply aren't my thing): some would be sports, racing, puzzle, fighting, MMORPGs, WRPGs
The new game belongs to a franchise / series I tried and disliked or it's a spiritual successor to said franchise / series
The new game is a revival of a classic game / franchise / series made by a newcomer developer without games under their belt or by a developer with a reputation for making shovelware.

There are more but those are the ones at the top of my head.

By OPs logic I'd say:
>multiplayer only
>gacha
game that are part of genres I'm not interested are also blackflaged but those are too many to bother listing

I think blackflagging should mean that you'll play the game if you can pirate it, but not otherwise, because you don't want to financially support the studio.
Though I can't say I have anything in particular in mind for this.

Yellow flag: a piece of information you're unsure of.
>our game has a character creator!!!
Okay... but what if the options are all pozzed? Don't know that yet. That's a yeller.

Blue flag: a piece of information that reassures you in indirect ways. It's positive, but not like the green one where you actively want it. This time it just tells you the devs know what they're doing.

Example of a green flag:
>no faggotry in our game
That's a requirement for me, so it's a green flag.

Example of a blue flag:
>veteran of the industry is in the dev team
I don't need that for me to be interested in a game, but that's cool to know.

>>718590358
So do you hate Senran Kagura?

>>718588656
nta but you're an idiot

>>718590104
So would a purple flag be negative reassurance, but not an outright red as of yet? Like for example some people might be wary but not outright peeved if a game is made in China.

>>718590447
nta, but yes

>>718587478 (OP)
Game is not on GOG. No GOG = no buy. It is simple as that.

someone design the flag

>>718590104
How about a mauve and teal striped flag with a single taupe rhombus in the center?

>>718587478 (OP)
Isekai
Kicked from party
Weak skill/class (actually was never good at magic because too much mana can be ok)
Slow life
Litrpg

Oh right sorry videogames
Uuuuuuhhhhh, made in Korea maybe.

what are some rainbow flags for you? What game detail and/or mechanic indicate a rainbow flag for you

>>718587894
It's F1nngers talk, FIA's founding and it's abhorrent consequences to mankind are still felt to this day.

>>718591146
what even is a rollslop? are you retarded or something?

>>718587621
Black flag should be a term used to describe things that would make you pirate a game over buying it.

>>718591332
That'd be the skull and crossbones flag

>>718591227
Pretending to be a retard is even worse nigger

Alright, I've created a spectrum, what do we think?

>>718591529
Just anwer the question

>>718587478 (OP)
At this point all I care about is if it's a live service and a genre I don't care about.

>>718591216
But a black flag in racing means "you, specifically, go to the pitstop". The red flag is the one that means "stop the entire race"

>>718591550
>just degrees of like and dislike
boring, i like >>718590104 more

>>718591550
Red flags should be instant drops.
Yellow flags are warnings.
There's no need for black flags.

>>718591726
I followed his thoughts but just put them on line for ease of understandings

>>718591550
Why would you need a flag for a shrug?
Attention: I don't know.

>>718587557
FIRST POST. YAR HAR HAR POST.

>>718587621
If anything the jolly roger should be an "immediate pirate"

There also should be a "actively work to reduce sales of the game and a track key people so you know to avoid games from them in the future flag.

>>718591735
You have never, in your entire life, played a game with a trait you didn't like?

You're on the spectrum alright. You also need to add shit farther to the right, including reducing sales, and the absolute maximum being kyoanning people. I suggest the ISIL flag for that last one.

here's a black flag

>>718592501
