Horizon Zero Dawn - tried getting into it but yawwwwnnn. I found it so boring and the protaganist obnoxious. Beautiful world though.
For me Skyrim, The Witcher 3, botw and all souls games.
Skyrim never clicked, it just felt buggy and empty and punishing. Trying to climb that mountain just so a yeti can beat you up? Great, here is your save spot form 15 min earlyer, please try again. I know that's why it's fun for so many, I just hated it.
The Witcher 3 was too... much dialogue. Most of the time I can play 1-3 hours every couple of days. And in the Witcher you walk 15min through beautiful but otherwise empty forest, killing 1-15 something, walk back and talk like another 15min with the guy who gave you the quest. It's really deep worldbuilding, but when you don't have a lot of time it's more "damn, what happend last?" 5min walking "ah, that happened" takes new quest, so much talking..."ah damn, my hour is gone, so I finish the quest another time." PC off.
Botw cause the world felt empty and everything broke in an instant and I'm the player ending with 50 healing potions, 10 big scrolls and so on cause MaYbE I'll need it another time. Doesn't match with botw. TotK is so much better handling this, cause you can craft any good item in an instant.
And Souls Games are just a broken mess. They're not hard by default, they're hard cause of all the buggy and mushy controls. It never feels crisp, it's just a big blob and maybe your character rolls or maybe it feels like an invisible wall, who knows. Games like Jedi Fallen Order in hard mode or Hollow Knight were so much more fun, cause the controls were crisp and everytime I lost, it was because of me. I did wrong and not some squishi spaghetti code.
ToTK I havent played, but persona 5 even with its weird moments I enjoyed. It made me root for the characters, not for everyone ig.
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. It didn't feel like a game as much as an interactive movie and it has zero replayability value.
The Assassins Creed series. It’s got all the things I love from the Uncharted and Tomb Raider games, I could just never get into it. Maybe I should have started from the beginning, I dunno. Arkham games were the same way, totally my preferred style of game and gameplay, but it just never grabbed me.
Lol, I've put 120 hrs into TotK and I love it, and still haven't finished all the side quests or shrines. I can't get my wife to play past the tutorial, she's disappointed that it doesn't foster creativity like Garry's mod
Uncharted 1. A lot of people told me that I have to play the uncharted games, they’re groundbreaking. I can understand that the early games were ahead of their time when they released, but they aged badly. The physics, the story, the gameplay - everything feels just like trash.
If you don’t have any nostalgic memories of the game and you play it for the first time today, you’ll think it sucks.
fnaf and amnesia and ddlc. I'm not into horror
Sea of Thieves. I tried it but something about the camera/movement made me physically sick right from the start. I'm also not too big of a fan of the character designs. I get pirates are scruffy and rowdy, yarrr, but they didn't seem to have ones that looked somewhat like a regular person.
Nier Automata. I played it for a few hours but it didn’t really catch me. I found the combat and the world too boring. People were telling me it gets better especially if you play through the multiple endings. I mean I couldn’t even get myself to finish it once… I just moved on to another game.
I can't stand pretty much any kind of shooter. Is that mostly because I suck? Probably, but I still don't like them.
stares with disagreement
Lol it's cool, we don't all have to agree. I'm curious, what are some games you do like?
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.
For me, Obra Dinn’s issue was I wasn’t solving a mystery, I was keeping accounts. We’re not trying to find a killer or unravel what happened, that’s been handed to us. We’re just filling out forms indicating how each individual died.
I loved Inscryption, especially the first part (no spoilers...) but I can see why It may get frustrating at times. If anyone reading this hasn't played It, I really recomend going in blind and give It a try
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.
