recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

A Way Out - go anywhere and ask for a good co-op game and this will be recommended to you. It took me and my girlfriend about 3 hours to beat it out didn't feel like a game as much as an interactive movie and it has zero replayability value.

I don't know if everyone loves it but I just can't get on with Ni No Kuni. I love JRPGs, I love anime. But the battle system in this game is just, annoying. It's real time but you input commands through a menu. And you have creatures that can fight for you, but they share your health points. I've gone back to it a few times but I just don't enjoy it.

RDR2. I tried like five times. I could never play it for more than about two hours before being bored and falling asleep at my desk.

  1. The Witcher series. Around 15 years ago I've picked up Sapkowski's books. I made through one and a half. Can't stand his writing.

  2. Horizon series - I watched my partner play through it and I can't think of a more bland, unimaginative world.

I can't stand pretty much any kind of shooter. Is that mostly because I suck? Probably, but I still don't like them.

Halo, I tried to play reach but I got stuck in a burning building and didn't know where to go. Thankfully I could refund the collection

Elden ring. It looks like an amazing game but it just doesn't work for me. I feel like it's the combat? Somehow it feels "clunky" to me. It's odd I can't put my finger on it, but I don't like the movement which obviously affects combat.

Return of the Obra Dinn. I adore puzzle mystery games, but I can’t stand the art style and it felt like I was constantly fighting the mechanics and interface.

Also Inscryption. Often the cards would purposely not explain their mechanics, but I would use it and it would do something unexpected and one bad decision often would cause me to lose. I usually love deck builders like that but it was so frustrating to feel like I was being punished for trying new things.

I wouldn't say I hate Witcher 3 but it didn't engage me at all because of the "everything sucks" aura it gives. There's nothing really nice to look forward to or that makes the fight against the Big Bad worth it. However, now that I'm writing this, maybe that was intended and I should get back to the game with the mentality of a jaded mercenary only doing it for money, as I believe the Witchers are supposed to be.

I feel you. I've never been able to get into Zelda games.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The mechanics and boss fights got old quick.

[–] cave_sword_vendor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Maybe not quite the spirit of the question but: Endwalker killed FFXIV for me.

Played the game a ton from ARR to Shadowbringers, but can't bring myself to even log in any more. The house I've had for seven years will be demolished later this week and I don't even care.

I know people loved the story but I hated it. Job design, job balance and encounter design are in terrible states. Patches are taking longer. The new content they added for this expansion has been bland and uninteresting.

Ni No Kuni. I kept hearing so many great things about the game, but I found the combat dull and boring. I dropped it as soon as I got the second party member.

[–] Cholsonic@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was thinking about that with TotK too, but kept on with it.. the exploration of the Chasms added a lot for me, and I think the shrines are better.

To answer your poll, I find Mario Odyssey to be overhyped. Not saying its a bad game, but the collecting gets tiresome and the levels are nowhere near as interesting as the Galaxy games

Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West. Game is so empty and has an open world for having an open world’s sake. Couldn’t stand it for longer than 3 hours.

[–] thorcik@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This. I really liked the visuals but the gameplay and the empty open world make it seem like a cheap AC reskin.

Never into the 3d Metal Gear Solid games. Also most RTS; no matter how cool they look they just aren't my cup of tea.
