Red Dead Redemption 2 - I do not want to deal with the Rockstar Games launcher.
Tom Clancy's Breakpoint - The game's add-on packs feel like Ubisoft is trying to nickel and dime gamers who would instinctively buy the GOTY equivalent of a title. I do not want to deal with a Ubisoft launcher or account.
Zombi - According to the Steam reviews it required a Uplay login to validate the game before you play and that version of the Ubisoft service no longer exists. This seems to have been rectified but I still don't trust it and don't want to go through the refund process if it hasn't.
Skyrim VR - I've already bought too many copies of Skyrim.

A bit of a "this is why I pirate" thread but more targeted at individual games.

Red Dead Redemption 2

RDR2 went on sale for $20 a couple of months back which was about what I was willing to pay for it, so I grabbed it then. I tried playing it and it's just boring. WAY too much riding around on horses just getting to the next bit of action or story. I dropped it and doubt I'll ever get back to it.

I knew this was a horse riding simulator and I had zero interest. like, how did that sneak up on you?

fuck the guy who thought fast travel is bad for immersion

Fast travel is a bit hidden in that game. You have to upgrade the boss's tent to unlock it.

I did get far enough to unlock fast travel, but it's extremely limited to the point of uselessness.
