-Puzzles that require a degree in science or math to figure out (this is an exaggeration and some games I can overlook with this)
-Too buggy

I would not purchase a game if it looked like it contained action sequences or if I found out that there were timed sequences in it.  My hand eye co-ordination is just not that good and I find it extremely frustrating to get stuck because of my inability to beat a clock etc.

I would prefer rendered graphics over real photos but a cartoon style would be okay if it was nice and colourful and the images were well thought out.

Currently what is stopping me from buying any new adventures is the backlog that I already have  


I really need to get:
1. the ones I've started finished
2. get into the ones that have yet to be unsealed from their boxes!

I absolutelly hate adv-cartoon conception.


No text-only adventures either eh?

Yikes.  


For me it would be the adventure game that's made for the current masses. More action than adventure... where I have to be more twitchy than clever.

I will grant you, some of the games that have come out in the past few years that tried to appeal to newer audiences, the action was impossible to pick up, but it can get to the point it's just an action game with some puzzles.

It being a bad game would stop me

Heavy action
Download only
No character interaction
Not story driven ( puzzles for the sake of puzzles)
If it is any way reminiscent of Myst

What if the game's title was Mist?
