The trend popped up on Twitter, and I think it's pretty cool. You can choose not to include the game you're talking about. Bonus points for amiguity. I'll start, posting the name just for the sake for example. You just walk around an empty office and can't jump. There's a guy that talks to you sometimes but no one else is there. Has the shittiest minigame in videogame history. The Stanley Parable Here are a couple more examples, so you all get the idea -

You're a grumpy old leather bag who lost his young Jason-like, and 3000 years in the future your clone goes on an ignorant rampage with a hotheaded herm, a weaponized skeleton shota, and a book. This PS2-looking PS3 game will make your save data scream in anguish.

You and a couple of friends survive a bioweapon and travel across the galaxy incomprehensibly and somehow find the person that did it. Also has standard gladiator arena somewhere. [spoiler]Star Ocean: The First Departure[/spoiler]

So, basically you run around a lot. But a lot of people don't want you to run around so much, so some politician wants to do good shit for your pals, but someone kills him and for some reason everyone thinks it was your sister. So to save her you run around a lot and in the end you kick some guy out of a helicopter and the day is safed, even so all of that didn't do Jack for the situation they're in. [spoiler] Mirror's Edge (the antagonist is called Jack btw, so that's a pun that happened) [/spoiler]

You capture and torture animals and force them to fight each other, some times you get really weird with it and make the different species have sex with each other. [spoiler]pokemon[/spoiler]

Youre a 100% tacti-cool operator running into hails of gunfire trying to kill gooks, and then you get sniped by someone 1000 metres away. Repeatedly. [spoiler]Battlefield 3 and 4[/spoiler]

You're a spy-wannabe rebelliant using his dumbly enforced sneaky beaky tactics to put the technical revolution to a halt by producing deadlier mechas yourself. You also recrute loli soldiers so you can force them to have sex with you. [spoiler]Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker[/spoiler]

You're a guy that doesn't speak, who whacks things with a crowbar and runs faster backwards than forwards. [spoiler] Half-life 2 [/spoiler] 28961 You also recrute loli soldiers so you can force them to have sex with you. You're supposed to make the game sound bad.

28962 You're supposed to make the game sound bad. Well you can go to jail for it! And they kinda don't show the precise sex scenes so it's no different than usual under-cardbox crabbing.

You are either a terrorist or a counter terrorist, your main means of transport is hopping from place to place. Despite being sent into combat you have to buy your own weapons out in the field even then you don't actually aim with your weapons, you only hipfire and hope for the best. Luckily your enemies are in the same situation so there isn't much to worry about.

Make one of your favorite games sound as shitty as possible

clicky

You kill people over and over until you're big enough to kill more people.

Aya

You play the role of an emo student with a sword, fully capable of devastating the planet if certain cutscenes actually flowed into the game itself. You and your friends can summon giant monsters to fight for you, but by the time they actually appear you could've done more damage by hitting stuff. As a bonus, using these giant monsters costs you your memory, which probably explains why you're so sad all the time.

Also your teacher is into BDSM.

Some people told you that you are a brave person for trying to help the village, when all they cared about are their asses, so they threw you in a portal and sacrificed you to demons.

Corruption of Champions? xD

Kitten

You look at pictures of characters from a game (that is well over 10 years old and constantly losing followers.) And then make decisions where to move the pictures using a red arrow and a lot of RNG with the end goal of eventually getting more pictures to interact with and a shiny golden shape with a number in it next to your name for a few weeks before it disappears and you have to spend another 200 hours grinding to get it back.

Aww.. This one actually was a spoiler for a modern game I haven't gotten around to playing yet. 🙁

Better late than never, I guess.

If your post contains an actual, honest-to-goodness spoiler, consider formatting spoiler boxes.

Will result in:

That will not really work well to prevent a spoiler if it includes the game title in the spoiler 😛
a better alternative is replacing "X game spoilers" with a generic "Major Spoiler" warning like this

"y"
[size=x-large][spoiler mode="nsfw" title="MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD | OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK"][/size]
"x"
[/spoiler]

Anyway my post is updated now so hopefully that should reduce any more major spoilers

Dave

You use glory holes to free yourself from captivity.
[spoiler]Portal 2[/spoiler]

Haruspex

You work yourself to death in the far future. Sometimes literally.

Your co-workers are crazy, possibly out to murder you specifically.

Your workplace explodes on a regular basis. When it doesn't, it's littered in blood, xenomorphs and fish. On fire, too, if someone has been working hard.

Depending on where you land, you'll probably be shot to death by Marines, dragged off by the clown or strangled to death by a - literal - catgirl.

A corgi is your only friend.

Equinox

you go on missions to fix things just to destroy the whole place and leave

Zee Quality

Aliens keep get themselves killed out of senselessness and stupidity, while the player is just an abstract entity that isn't even really acknowledged in the game's fluff.

Spore's galactic expansion?

Derfy

Some ass hole locks you in prison to try and steal your girl friend. They don't even give you a weapon until the end of the first level. The puzzles are intricate but frustrating and the timing of your running jumps have to be perfect. There is a bunch of trial and error and a ghost version of yourself after jumping through a mirror is a complete fuck to you. The game is timed and has a ridiculous password system which is annoying and frustrating. A mouse saves your life even though that is totally unrealistic. Some of the power ups even hurt you why the fuck is that even a thing!? Plus you play as some Indian fuck with parachute pants.
[spoiler] Prince of Persia for the Super Nintendo [/spoiler]

Apophany

All you do is walk around. A guy just talks at you while you're doing literally nothing but walking through a bunch of levels that make no sense. The guy tries to tell you how each one makes sense, but at the very end, it turns out they don't and he's devastated. Also the dev won't make anymore of them, and you cry because it's beautiful.
