If a game is made for older consoles and the cartridge runs at the wrong voltages and slowly cooks your vintage game console.

Half the game is on cart, and the other half needs to be downloaded from the internet.
The game is a 1MB stub and requires you to download the remaining 99 GB from the internet.
Over $100 worth of Microtransactions in the Microtransaction store. Some games, like Smash Ultimate or Ateleir, are really light with their microtransactions. But any microtransactions in a game is enough to dock it 10 points. So if a game gets 85/100 on OpenCritic, but has MTX, then it's a 7.5 for me. A game with heavy microtransactions like MK11 is more like a -20 modifier to the OpenCritic score. So for me, MK11 is 60/100 bottom of the barrel trash. I love Monster Hunter, but Capcom has monetised it so much that I haven't bought a new MH game since Rise. I am fine with MTX that only speed up gameplay such as how Dragon's Dogma 2 or DMC4 did it. As long as they don't intentionally make the game more tedious and then try to offer up a MTX as a "solution", I'm fine with that sort of thing. It takes just as much time to unlock everything via grinding for Red Orbs on the 360 version of DMC4 as it does in the Remaster, for example. So that's fine.
Any AAA game that doesn't have a physical release.
