Fallout new vegas to be honest. You just spend hours at the start trying to figure how to even play the game

Oblivion and Skyrim. I tried for a long time to tell myself that I like any genre but it's about realize that I just don't like fantasy games.

For me it’s anything that requires a group of people to be enjoyable.. sea of thieves, destiny, etc.. they all look fun, like I’d enjoy them, but I just don’t have anyone to play with. I don’t have friends that play like I do so they just get boring fast

u/BlackDeath66sick Mar 25 '24
That's why you have to read negative reviews and see what they say. A lot of the times the game could have some minor (to others) inconveniences that would otherwise be a deal breaker for me. And since its a minor thing, it doesn't get mentioned on positive reviews

Elden ring. All of the locations except altus(leyndell is the best world fromsoft ever created i like it more than lothric) are boring and feel like filler. I got tired of exploring because of the non stop boss reuse. It should have been 1/2 the size with more unique bosses. And alot of those bosses just suck like elden beast was such a buzz kill it should have ended with radagon. I feel like everyone that praises the game didnt play past liurnia

I scrolled for a bit to add to a post but didn’t see it,
ESO
I’m thinking it’s partially because I was trying to find a WoW trade off, get into it as soon as it started, be one of those long time veterans people can depend on that I did when I first played WoW when I was 13, but man when that game first started I just could not do it. I farmed and farmed and farmed, I dropped 60 hours to get to level 27, setting alarms to farm exp at 2 to 3 am that were hot spots that I knew other people weren’t going to be on so I could get first grabs. Working on my professions and then trying to get groups for dungeons. I just got burnt out, because I was farming to little to m know progress. WoW was just so far progressed that my mindset wasn’t into that mega grindy game anymore. I waited a few years and DLCs to log back in one day and hear that it’s easier than ever to level and whatnot but I just couldn’t do it. My gear was trash and the community was rude, I’d go around asking for help and it was met with nothing positive. I bought the big boy game when it came out too and was left 100$+ in the hole.

Very late to this, but it just popped up, decided to answer…
Baldur’s Gate 3. even as someone who loves DnD, loves turned based combat in general, the game kinda sucked to me.
Don’t get the wrong, the story I saw was good, but the gameplay was so awful that I didn’t want to touch the game after my first session.

Most good games tbh
I wish I had more broad and consistent taste, but it’s really a roll of the dice every time I get a game.
Loved Subnautica, BoTW, rainbow six, BF1, and Minecraft if that counts. I find it really hard to get into anything else, and I’ve really tried.

u/Spatularo Mar 24 '24
Basically any 4x game. Stellaris should be my favorite game ever, but honestly, they're not games, they're Excel simulators where you spend 90% of your time navigating menus.

Most of these are the most lame, contrarian comments I’ve ever seen.
98% of them boil down to “I don’t like the genre so it’s a bad game” and the other 2% are people saying they personally don’t like them but can understand how some do.
“BG3 bad cuz turn-based???? BAD UGH WHY DO DAT!”

Every couple hours either get “BG3 bad” or “Helldivers 2 bad” with no context to why they’re bad.

Plague Tale (the first one, why would I touch the second?)… it’s clunky, most of the characters are shit, and the world is boring most of the time. Generously it deserves a 4/10.

Fallout series.
I tried playing Fallout: NV, then Fallout 3, then Fallout 4. I just really, really dislike VATS. It completely breaks the gameplay flow for me.

Civilization 6. Too cartoony for me but seems most of the reception is very positive.

I just don't get minecraft. It's not to be unique or anything, and it's not from a lack of creativity (my favorite game of all time is LittleBigPlanet 2, and I make music as a hobby), I just legitimately do not care to learn the systems for a game that does not interest me.

Palworld. Can’t convince me to waste money on another Pokémon game. Not a fan of crafting/settlement building, either. I both don’t see the charm or point, but glad it was successful?

Hell Divers 2. I think the game is fine and all, but it becomes a running simulator past level 7. The stratagems charm wore off after a couple days of playing. Guns feel useless. Oh, and I love tripping and stumbling for 5+ seconds because a few pixels were on uneven ground.
I’ll stick to the buggy mess that’s Darktide. At least there’s fun to be had /shrug

u/gamrgrant Mar 23 '24
The other way: games that have negative reviews that I really enjoyed.
I keep seeing metroidvanias getting negative reviews because "it's not as good as hollow Knight" like SHUT THE FUCK UP and enjoy the game for what it is or don't enjoy it. I like hollow Knight as much as the next guy but I saw rebel:transmute and vernal edge both drop from overwhelmingly positive to very positive to mostly positive
It'd be one thing if it was one or two morons each time making these abrasive comparisons but the "most helpful" is full of them, meaning thousands of morons think this is how we should be rating games. Both of them had flaws but vernal edge in particular had combat that was very much not metroidvania-style combat, and yet it was judged as such. Gahhhhh

I’ve given the majority of the fallout games and Starfield a try and I don’t think I enjoy Bethesda game design. It’s just not my thing, which sucks because I absolutely adore the atmosphere and the stories. I’ve watched playthroughs of new Vegas and fallout 3 because I love the characters and story. I constantly make references to the games, just didn’t like what I’ve played of them. The only one I actively dislike however is Starfield. I played Cybepunk 2077 (which is now my favorite game of all time) before giving it a shot and there were numerous problems that I had with it. Talking to people felt stilted and boring, I didn’t like the gunplay, and the loading screens were absolutely terrible. It feels like an early era Xbox 360 game rather than a truly next gen experience.

Alan Wake. I tried tried so hard to enjoy it but it just wasn't that good. Probably because the combat gameplay loop wore itself out within like 2 hours.

Gris, tbh.
Maybe I just didn't get what's so good about it yet. I love exploration games, metroidvania, Ori and well, I kind of like all games. But in Gris, I just got lost or found no purpose or means to continute. So I rather got frustrated and even refunded it later on. And I rarely refund stuff, esp. not discounted stuff.
It's been 2 years or smth now, maybe, so I might give it a go again.

Final Fantasy 14, a lot of folks love the game and nerd over it heavy but it feels clunky, UI feels outdated, gameplay just doesn’t feel engaging.

Ff7 remake/rebirth. It’s also laughable that they make you by both as a stand alone game. Add new characters and change story. It’s a reboot not a remake. Either ways it blew

u/perfecttrapezoid Mar 22 '24
Skyrim. I had never played it and got it a few years ago during the pandemic lockdown. It felt like there were no checks in place to keep me from fucking things up by killing an important character or missing an important item, but I didn’t really feel immersed in the worldbuilding at all either. The character interaction sections feel like those sections from a combat game where you have to interact with NPCs in a half baked way, and the combat feels like the half-baked combat of a primarily NPC interaction game.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I loved the environment and graphics but some of the boring side quests coupled with a confusing story that starts grounded and then goes full-on crazy mode out of nowhere made me dislike it.

Literally any Bethesda RPG. Total slogs with no direction or cinematic set pieces that feel like anything aside from an indie game. Nevermind the requirement of mods to even approach playability, to finish the game's development, to fix bugs, to optimize, and nowadays to run compatibility with modern hardware because the engine is fucking 30 (yes THIRTY) years old at this point.

Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s the combat for me. I just… can’t get into it. Feels tedious. I’m not willing to go through the combat to get to the good parts in the story. Game is like a 5/10 for me because of it. Something like FF7 Rebirth does it way better. The combat is fast paced and fun. But I do understand that BG3 is supposed to be turn based since it’s based off of Dungeons and Dragons, I just don’t like it.

The last of us. One of the most overrated games I ever played.
