Ocarina of Time. It's one of the few Zelda games that I just didn't enjoy. I've had a lot more fun playing Twilight Princess and Wind Waker more than Ocarina. I'd play Adventure of Link more than Ocarina.
Skyrim. Mostly all the RPGs like that. Never understood the hype. I did try to like it, but it wasn't fun for me at all.
anything with turn-based combat as a core mechanic is an instant skip, nothing else about the game matters
I realize this is an overgeneralization I'm making.
every game made since the ps2 was officially retired. I don't hate them because they're hard and I'm just not getting the handle of gameplay. I hate them for specific reasons:
tldr the internet killed gaming for me.
At least back in the day, multiplayer games released with the server you could self host.
Or you'd find a chill one that you liked and it became its own little community of sorts with regulars and whatnot.
Now, some games make it genuinely hard to even play multiple rounds back to back with the same people.
The ranking system and match making superceded the lobby.
There's still a lot of enjoyable games, gems even, but there's a lot of hot garbage too.
I don't think it's (just) Internet's fault.
Hell, we'd play Diablo over dial-up and it was amazing at the time.
I think it's more the corpo greed making its way everywhere.
No mTx, no subscription, no battle pass, no unlocking bs, no cosmetics, no unending daily grinds, just you, the game, maybe a buddy if your family didn't need the phone.
DRM didn't exist, they'd ask you questions about the game manual instead.
I remember bringing the Fallout manual on a trip and reading through it thinking about what character I'd make. Now everything is digital only, you're almost lucky if it comes with a wallpaper.
Nier Automata,
I thought it was a bad pretentious story with a bad gameplay
The music is good tho
Oh right. I keep forgetting I started this like two months ago and never came back to it.
Same exact experience
I liked it a lot, but the story is definitely hit or miss. Gameplay was not as deep as other Platinum games, but still ok
Rouge likes. I just can't get into them. The only one I was able to sink any kind of time into was Hades. I actually enjoyed it a decent amount, but I find the gameplay loop for roguelikes just wears me out pretty quickly
Final Fantasy 7. I've tried to play it multiple times, but the game's story never pulled me in. And with how long of a trek it is between story moments and the slog of combat encounters I usually put the game down.
Any of the Paper Mario or Super Mario RPG games. Maybe I'm not the target audience, but I've often felt that without the Mario name they would be considered mediocre.
Alongside this, basically every 3D Sonic game. I feel that Sonic has become a thing for furries, and that the 3D games just don't really seem to get what a Sonic game should be. Frontiers was somewhat decent in the open world aspect, but its constant reliance on the homing dash just highlights how buggy those games are.
I fucking HATE Souls-like games. I love fantasy and RPG games but FromSoft games are just hard for the sake of being hard.
I'm an adult with a life (kinda) - I don't have 600hrs to dedicate to defeating the fucking Taurus Demon. I even looked up HOW to kill it but apparently my controller usage wasn't good enough to move at speed even though I completed God of War 3 on the highest difficulty.
The fact I had to re-tread the same stupid fucking area before that to reach the fucking Taurus Cunt was to much.
I quit the game and vowed to never play another FromSoft game or anything that claimed to be a "Souls-like".
I stupidly listened to someone say Sekiro was a better game than Ghost of Tsushima (which I love). So I played it....
WTF?! The first group of enemies were all identical - no variations. There was also only TWO fucking moves I could perform. A wooden-looking block and a janky looking attack. An absolute fucking abortion of a game and I'm convinced the idiot who told me it was better than GoT had never played it.
Dota and League of Legends. The moba format simply doesn't click with me. Them being hyper competitive doesn't help, and I'm someone who played plenty of UT2004 during my late teens
Undertale and For Honor
Undertale is a decent enough game, I guess, but whenever I think about it, I think about all the crazies that call themselves fans of it. It's exhausting just thinking about it.
For Honor got me interested, but it made a few very bad choices. Magnet hands and slow attacks meant that you could react to attacks, and never had to worry about whiffing. It's so dull to have basically no concept of interesting movement play in a game about fighting.
