Tribes 2. Don't get me wrong. It's a great game, amazing even. But Tribes was a more focused experience.

God of War and COD.

I never liked COD, I thought the first two games were ok, they looked like copies of Medal of Honor but with better graphics. I much preferred the freedom that Battlefield and the original Operation Flashpoint gave the player.

God of War is a very strange game, I don't know why, but it seems boring to me.

HZD. Got it as people were raving about how great it was and I thought the dinos seemed neat. Then got to the point where the game open up and how much of an arrow sponge the bigger ones are, tried to see if I was doing something wrong and then realised that it was actually intended. The combat is way too clunky for that to work for me.

The rest of the game also didn't make up for it, so I just dropped it after I went to the big city to see if there was anything there which would hook me.

Also played FF7 on the PC back in the day and it bores the shit out of me.

me when i find another thread to say Yakuza Like a Dragon is bad

I'd write up all about what I don't like about it if my lunch break wasn't about to end

I thought Yakuza 6 was pretty bad but it's a fucking gem in comparison to LAD

Also I just straight up didn't get Undertale. The whole thing was riffing on a genre I didn't really understand and i just ended up confused as to what the point they were going for was. The game might as well have been in Chinese for what I understood of it

Gta V was a downgrade from Gta 4 in all the ways that mattered.

All of the dark souls shit, Steelrising is the only one that looks promising.

I could not get into Terraria no matter how many times I tried.

Path of exile is a bloated, convoluted mess with shoehorned multiplayer elements. The mtx are also awful and do not get nearly enough hate as they should.

half life 2 was a glorified tech demo with so many bloviating "immersive first person cutscenes" that it felt like a parody.

Halo 3's campaign was not good and the multiplayer was just ok. Forge was not revolutionary, it only seemed like it because it was locked to console with no mod tools.

Borderlands, tried two different games over the past 7 years and neither time was it fun. Fps games should not have arpg items.

The mario, zelda, and pokemon series. The little I've seen of them made me never want to play them, like pokemon is literally just cock fighting but with epic wacky monster-pets.

Diablo 2 resurrection, the remaster, does not have a skill bar unless you use a controller. I will never willingly put myself through garbage controls straight from the 2000's when I could just play Grim Dawn instead.

I've been playing Environmental Station Alpha in my desperate search for literally any modern Metroidvainia (I'd give it like a 3-4/10 in terms of having a Metroidvainia structure). Holy shit Overgrowth is the most annoying boss I've have seen in a long time and the game in general is just tedious as shit and full of hitting your head against different walls both figuratively and literally.

I am begging whoever might have this information about where a good Metroidvania other than Hollow Knight is.
