2 picks for me: Stardew Valley, most boring shit ever, I don't see the appeal, seriously how the hell did that thing sold 20 million copies?

And Witcher 3, I own that game since 2019 and I regret buying it, funny thing is that I've finished Dragon Age 1 and 2, which are kinda same genre but I actually enjoyed those games. I guess the old BioWare sauce carried those games unlike Witcher where there's nothing to enjoy in its massive pointless world.

Final Fantasy. Haven’t played any of them, and I’m not interested in playing them at all.

Same on Witcher III. I'm the target audience of that game - I love RPGs of all kinds, have played all the classic series like TES, Baldurs Gate, Planescape, Icewind Dale, Dragon Age, you name it. I even play ttrpgs multiple times a week.

I wanted to like Witcher III so bad that I forced myself all the way through the game to an optimal ending. But I just never started enjoying it. The world just feels... Flat. Fake. You do exactly what CD Projekt Red envisions or you hit a stone wall of empty game world.

Despite the skill trees and inventory and all of it, it just doesn't feel like an RPG at all. It feels like a Disney ride on rails.

Anything published by Ubisoft, Activision, Electronic Arts, Take-Two, Epic, Microsoft, Sony, sadly now Bethesda, and most other major publishers.

Ocarina of Time. I tested it out some time ago. I'm sure any game with time travel is going to have this as a weakness, but it's just so clunky. The story feels like a weird living childhood daydream sprinkled with what many accuse of being political undertones, and while I technically don't mind the graphics, those particular ones are weird as a glasses-wearer who is using them to fight.

All of this was especially the case during the level where you're inside Jabu-Jabu, which is the whole reason I ever played the game in the first place, as I had to help my friend through the level because of both the headache-inducing squiggly lines (which go with the graphics like a 60-watt bulb goes with a 180-watt lamp and prevented my other friend from helping, he gets vertigo despite his age) and because the parts right before and right after Jabu-Jabu set off her submersion phobia since you're in the country of Ruto. Sometimes the game seemed to know how to crossover into the style of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, which is a neutral statement.

Final Fantasy VII…because I’m not dressing like a girl and going into a whorehouse in order to reunite with Tifa Lockhart to continue the game.
