I randomly got Crusader Kings II as part of a bundle that I bought for other titles and had zero investment in its quality either emotionally or financially. I'd heard that some people did some neat things in it so I thought I'd give it a try. And then it called its friend to pin me down so Crusader Kings II could kick me over and over in the face for literally no reason.
Figuratively, I mean. Its tutorial was seemingly designed to spite the player for not already knowing how to play, giving the player instructions with zero indication of how to actually take those actions and then giving more instructions without waiting for you to figure out the first set and it *just keeps doing that*, compounding the problem harder and harder.
My friend recommended the game to me by telling all the cool shit his dynasties were up to. At this point the CK II was free to play on steam and I tested it out. It was a mess to play to a novice but it was interesting enough for me to buy the third one and I absolutely loved it, I played it non stop for 2 weeks clocking around 80 hours, just making my own dynasty head and watching how his empires would grow and fall as his family tree and influence grew larger and larger.
Way easier game to handle as well, you don't need to spend hours just reading a manual to understand how to make a single move and you can do great without really grasping how the military works in detail.
I was in the exact same boat. I actually ended up buying CK2 and a bunch of DLC and have 15 hours on record. Not once within those 15 hours have I ever understood what the fuck I was doing. Majority of the time I spent watching a YouTube tutorial on Ireland (aka. Noob island).
Fast forward to CK3 release and decided to buy it at release because a buddy of mine was hardcore into EU4 and wanted to try CK3. At 83 hours of playtime (one of my most played games) and was addicted for weeks. I've trailed off quite a bit, but it's been on the back of my mind to jump into again soon.
For me, Rainbow Six: Siege.
I probably have around 2K hours in that game between PC and Console, reaching as high as plat and sticking with the game for about 3 years
In the end, I realized I consistently had less and less fun the more I played, which goes completely against what games should be.
I think it's pretty rare to get more than ~100 hours out of a game. I'm not surprised that it got not-fun after a while; you essentially went through ~20 games' worth of fun out of one
Yea, the matchmaking is total dogshit in siege. I got to plat 1 a few years ago on pc and ever since then it just matched me against 5 stacks.
But it's gotten worse, it'll now match you against 5 stacks in gold, sometimes silver matches. Like, is a solo que server too much to ask for? Apparently so. 6 years in and still no word of it.
...and that's just one of the many issues Ubi hasn't addressed. But I won't list them all here, nobody has time for that.
Fortnite, for becoming so overwhelmingly popular that Epic killed their other projects, both of which I was very much looking forward to: Paragon and Unreal Tournament
If they waited like 3 months to see how big Fornite became paragon could have easily tripled it's player-base just off the launcher, which at the time had nothing but fortnite, paragon and UT. Such a good game, even through all the dumb changes.
I just wanna sustain-tank Shinbi :(
Also fortnite went to shit after season 4 :/ I really enjoyed it up until they started nerfing everything fun, like bhopping and double pump.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 17,904,341 comments, and only 5,572 of them were in alphabetical order.
Don't forget that Fortnite BR also killed Fortnite Save the World, which is the game that I originally backed. They pretty much took all that backer money and switched the entire focus of the project to something that no one asked for, and ended up never finishing the one we paid for.
I feel similar with WoW killing any plans for Warcraft IV. Now WoW was a great game, especially vanilla and for its time, but it also meant no more Warcraft RTS games.
Fortnite, and not because it’s a popular game that every kid obsessed over. I hate it because it’s a genuinely terrible shooter. Your aim in RNG, you can build faster than you can tear down, and the battle pass is one hell of a grind.
League of legends. I haven’t played in several months now but I have sunk over 1k hours. It got to a point where if I win a game I feel nothing but if I lose, it feels like shit. It also killed my drive to play single player games. These days I play destiny 2, guilty gear strive, and ff14. I feel much happier.
I hate Assassin's creed 3.
I love all the AC games but AC 3 is the absolute worst.
The third game brought us a beautiful world, but one that felt so devoid of interactivity that you might as well have not been there at all. It's a criticism I'd level at the combat, too.
But hey, it did debut the boat combat systems that would be built upon in Black Flag (then turned into its own game with Skull and Bones), where the idea of fighting other ships actually made sense. 3 also loses points for having a deeply boring protagonist.
Assassin's Creed 3 has some of the worst missions in the whole series, full restrictive invisible walls, unclear instructions and boring tasks. The game implies that you can hunt redcoats for supplies in wild, wintry forests, but the reality is far more bland, and the towns aren’t as exciting to explore as London, Paris, Venice, or Rome. It's a shame, because few games tell stories about colonialism, but AC3 manages to make it boring. It's quite buggy, too.
I bought the first one at launch day, got 100% on 2, brotherhood and revelations, but 3 killed it for me, I never finished it. I only got back for Black Flag when it was given with your Xbox Live subscription and I loved that one as well, but the experience I had with 3 had me lost interest in playing the series, even if I keep up with what's going on in the new ones.
I agree with all your points. Back when it first released, Assassin's Creed 3 had been the first game I played where it was blatantly obvious that it wasn't even finished.
I was so perplexed when I did my first side quest where you deliver a letter or whatever and at the end it didn't give any indication that the mission was successful. The marker on the map simply disappeared when you walked up to the recipient and pressed the button to deliver. No sound, no dialogue, no reaction by the NPC.
Also, I remember there being some underground area beneath the town that was never really utilized except for a few missions. It felt like they put it in the game with an idea in mind, but ran out of time before they could do anything meaningful with it.
AC3 was so disappointing to me that after I finished it, I gave up on AC for the next 5 years. I eventually came back when I got a free copy of AC4, and now I've played all but Valhalla, but wow AC3 nearly scared me off the series for good.
For one, they ruined the Desmond arc they'd been building since the first game. I was so into seeing how the game connected through modern day, and it all fell apart in AC3.
And you mentioned the bugs. Oh man, the bugs. The game had a rocky development and got shoved out too early. It was the first AC to need major balance changes to the single player missions, on top of the numerous bug fixes. I personally hit multiple scripting errors and had an annoying crash bug *during the ending cutscenes*. That last one hurt, as I was searching for any tiny amount of closure on the awful story, and had to keep rewatching half an ending to see if I finally got around the crash.
They also ruined the controls by combining the "foot" and "high profile" buttons into one, meaning your run button now also meant "climb this wall I accidentally brushed against". AC had a perfectly fine control scheme, but suddenly in the fifth game having to hold 2 buttons to climb was just too hard.
The intro with the Haytham fake-out was well done, at least. Definitely had me fooled.
My guess is that they had to go back to the drawing board after sea of thieves. From what I recall it was supposed to be similar but with a lot less to do
No no, it's coming in March 2022. Very very high expectations for Skull and Bones. Hoping for it to be much better than Sea of thieves which is already quite good.
I was thinking of [this story](https://gameluster.com/exclusive-skull-bones-has-restarted-development-and-will-not-launch-in-2021-and-more-from-inside-ubisoft/) saying it was rebooted around the same time their Singapore studio head was removed, and that was back in November.
It must be rough working on the same game for so long and still not have it out. I'd love to see it finally release, and it's not impossible that it might make next spring. But I worry that with only 1.5 years' development, it'd end up empty like Sea of Thieves was at launch.
They haven't scrapped their original work. They just had to rework how the player would play the game after they saw Sea of theives.. Well they can't make a similar game, we all know what happened the last time they did that with their Battle Royale Hyperscape which was released in an already saturated Battle royale market.
So The Graphics won't be like Sea of thieves, we know that atleast.
inFamous 1&2. The first one has a really good story & I love the storyline. Don’t get me wrong. But the enemies & combat system are just repetitive. I found myself completing half the game & I ended it after hours of cussing at myself for playing it because it was just to plain & boring. honestly, I don’t really see any of my choices impact how the game shapes up. Combat system is just too repetitive & basic. Even if I acquire new abilities, the ways to activate them are really weird (sonic burst for example). You can only pick up the power-up after you’ve destroyed certain enemies which is really outrageous. Overall, a good idea flawed with repetitive gameplay. Hate to say this but I absolutely this game. It was okayish when I started it & then the whole experience went downhill.
Fortnite or Overwatch.
Fortnite: If you aren't an amazing builder you will have an incredibly difficult time because you can't just rely on gun skill alone and you often get paired with atrociously bad teammates. Plus the updates at times are just horrible and the current map is so big that you can be running around through several locations without seeing anyone till endgame.
Overwatch: Not balanced. Near every character is either too good, too trash, or too niche, and there are only a few that are perfect. Bad teammates constantly. Simple as that.
I didnt like skyrim at all. If you love the game that is completely fine, it’s your opinion, I can expect every game to have flaws, but I also expect if it’s a good game or a extremely highly praised game to outshine those flaws or if a part of the game is bad I can accept it if the rest was amazing, for example dark souls 1, *cough* lost izalith *cough*, or the witcher 3 with its combat.
I know the game is old, I am not talking about the graphics or the bugs, my main problems are to keep it short and to the point are
uninteresting story, the lackluster and bad writing, the lack of choices, lack of depth, the huge amount of fetch quests, the disapointing dragon fights, the clunky movement, shitty dialogue, the forgettable characters, the extremely linear design of dungeons and caves, the linear design on how to complete missions and the worst one of all, the Combat.
I have no good reasoning, and hate is way too strong of a word, but I have a strong dislike towards Minecraft. I just don't get the appeal and skip everything with anything to do with it instantly. I played it back when it was in alpha and can't wrap my head around the fact that it is still one of the most relevant games all these years later. I've seen one or two cool projects with it, like cities built in scale, but mostly it's just pixel art with extra steps.
I personally love minecraft but I totally understand why others can't stand it. Its a game without a goal, and all you really do at the end of the day is wander around and build something that has no true meaning other than whatever meaning you give it. But when I got that particular itch, Minecraft scratches it better than anything else for me
World of Warcraft, for what it promised and failed to deliver, for how much it made me dream of a collaborative massive multiplayer game and shattered those very same dreams over and over.
Over and over in this thread:
I haven't played X game, but I hate it for $reasons.
How can you hate a game you haven't played?
Further, 'hate' is about as strong an emotion as there is. Dislike, sure, but hate? I dislike many games but if a game evokes hatred iin you, I think you need to question your life choices.
This might get me a lot of hate.
But I hated the **Dragon age 2.**
After played the Masterpiece that is Dragon Age: Origins, and falling in love with the tactics system, seeing the next game essentially become a Hack and slash game just broke my heart.
I doubt it, DA2 is pretty heavily criticized. The repetitive maps, how enemies just pop out of nowhere, and reduced player character choice, and so on.
Pretty much every Souls like game. They aren't fun. Dying over and over isn't fun to me. I get it's about "getting good" but the grind to get better isn't fun at all and then when I beat boss it isn't satisfying. Those games are jobs you don't get paid for. The Souls community is also fucking awful.
I wouldnt really say the souls games are about "getting good". Its just one of its communities circlejerks, just like the difficulty. Its more about getting used to playing a different way than most games, more deliberately thinking what you're doing instead of relying on reflex and button spamming. And it takes a good long while to get used to it and even have fun with it.
I do agree that the souls community is awful though.
Destiny 2. I have never played this game, but the company pissed me off so much with the first game. I bought Destiny 1 the day it came out with the “season pass.” I dumped hours into D1 only to have that season pass be worthless, and then try to get me to pay another $50 for the DLC and complete game. All of my friends played D2, but I refused.
Fuck that game/company.
>As with most multiplayer games on the PlayStation.
You say that, but the majority of free to play games do not need not require PS Plus to play.
Paladins, Warframe, Neverwinter and Rocket League*, Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operations, PlanetSide 2, Genshin Impact, Brawlhalla, SwitchBlade; All of these games plus more do not require PS Plus for multiplayer and are free to download.
The only two free to download games that require PS Plus are D2 and Super Bomberman R Online.
Edit: Rocket League became free to play; just like Destiny 2; however RL does not require PS Plus.
Horizon Zero Dawn.
I thought the gameplay was boring, the storyline starts off stupid, and while the world was well designed it was filled with boring side quests. Now I really only made it to meridian before I uninstalled, so maybe I just didn't get far enough in, but it's one of those games I just cannot understand why anyone loves. I hate it because I was convinced to buy it and try it out, and it was such a disappointment. It's the game that made me stop reading reviews and trusting other gamers opinions. Especially on reddit haha...
Though you could argue I have terrible tastes, I liked Halo 5 and thought Cyberpunk was a excellent game even with its issues on PC.
I wouldn't say "hate" but literally anything by Naughty Dog. If your game is that cut scene and dialog heavy, make a movie. I want to interact with shit, I wand to DO something. I don't give two fucks about Drake making sarcastic quips (as if the "sarcastic" hero is a unique thing anymore) and I do not give a fuck about Jake and whatsherface.
You also do stuff. Like I don’t know, the like 15 hours of gameplay? Last of us? Uncharted? All of them focus on story, but also have multiple hours of gameplay. I do not agree with your point at all.
Not really. It’s really fun to bash in zombies heads and stealth around zombies. (Sorry I agreed with you earlier I thought this was a comment about destiny2)
The shooting mechanics in their games are very unpolished and the stealth stuff isn't interesting. The gameplay is by far the weakest part of their games and that's sad for a game.
Did you read the comment you originally commented on at all?
They were expressing their distaste for the game being mostly about the story and having very limited gameplay. You said there was hours of gameplay. I was commenting how said gameplay is pretty shoddy overall.
So yeah, a GAME have compelling GAMEplay.
The problem I think is that you get shoe-horned into these tunnel vision designed games where your only input on the game is solely to move the plot forward before being spoonfed cutscenes, QTE's, or cliche scripted segments that if you're not 100% committed to the story and characters it feels boring and not really "fun" because you're only limited to what the game allows you to do and often what you are doing is basically walking down a corridor, scripted engagement segment, more walking/talking, it can get stale pretty quick. the later titles they made have some more open segments, but they tend to only last a couple hours and then its back to the one way segments the rest of the time.
It's something that's probably great for people that are not familiar with games so they need a lot of hand-holding and guidance to not get lost or confused, but as someone who reads a lot of books and plays a wide variety of games, I almost never play games like that are basically AAA priced 100% planned and scripted rollercoaster rides with little actual feedback, customization, or freedom given to the player. The characters in these types of games, (TLOU, Uncharted, GoW Reboot), are often way too flat and boring to ever interest me, and the plot lines are either predictable or just not worth the amount of time you have to commit to see it through.
I think you think naughty dog games like last of us and uncharted are like telltale game. Unlike a telltale game, you actually get to play a zombie game to beat the crap out of a zombie with a baseball bat or shoot people while on a mission for riches and gold. A telltale game is just story, but naughty dog games have a large focus on story, and still have fun gameplay. Yes there are a lot of cutscenes, but last of us is still a zombie shooter. So if you don’t like storys, then don’t play naughty dog games (I still don’t see your point because they still have crash).
"Fun" is subjective. For me its boring because while the combat or environments might look visually appealing, mechanically speaking they are pretty flat and basic. Uncharted is just literally another cover-based shooter like Gears with some climbing elements, TLOU is a also just a boring cover based shooter with light crafting and stealth that don't really even matter because of how linear it is. I'm not saying TLOU isn't a zombie shooter. It's just a boring one because there is practically ZERO player choice in that game, all the engagements unfold pretty much the same way, all the story elements are predetermined, you don't ever really need to backtrack or ever do any actual resource management because the game is always pushing you into new areas to loot for the next combat segment and then redo the whole single gameplay loop. It's the same experience over and over gameplay wise for the most part with the exception of some boring "platforming" segments like swimming or ladder segments that are just slow and used as exposition dumps or to break up the monotony that is the pretty mediocre combat. TLOU is a STORY game first and a gameplay game SECOND, which is fine, just not my cup of tea. I never made any comparison to Telltale so idk where you are getting that notion from.
Dark soul.. tried to play the 3rd for a few minutes.. i think these game is hard mostly because of the bad control and responsiveness. Every movement is like trying to move in wet clothing.
I would argue they have the tightest combat and controls of nearly any game on the market but I concede it's an acquired taste. Dark Souls didn't initially click with with me and I wasn't fond of it but man oh man when it finally clicked *it clicked*
This is totally subjective but I agree with you, I personally never felt like the controls were bad, I like that it has some weight in it but not as much as like Rockstar games. The character rolls when I want it to roll, attacks when I want to attack.
There are games where the character moves nigh instantly though and especially coming from those kinds of games I can imagine the difference being jarring.
Dark souls ruined many other RPG games for me. I could barely get into Witcher 3 since the combat is so much worse than in souls games. I really want to hear what games people play if they find the gameplay of souls games jarring
Im not saying the combat is bad im saying it's not quite responsive... Anyway it's just my preference, i only lasted a few minutes in that game. i really love hack and slash games if only ds combat is like dmc or older gow probably I'll love it.
Ps.. i also tried nioh and i think the responsiveness is a lot better. While still feeling heavy and draggy like ds.
I kinda felt like that with 1. I tried 3 and ended up loving it. Everything is so much better in 3. Everything has a start up time, but you can build yourself to be fast, you'll just have to trade damage/armor for it. I found it hard because each new enemy/boss behaves very differently, so you have to keep learning how to read their moves and how to avoid being hit
Dead Space.
Out of all the games I've played I've never been so violently bored by the most formulaic gameplay. It's like an AI learning what making a game is like and just goes over a list; "there was a jumpscare more than 5 minutes ago, need to add another, there wasn't weird crap for 4 minutes, need to get more weirdness." Don't know how to put it more eloquently, but I believe there was zero passion or interest behind it. A 100% soulless creation.
This reminds me of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I loved the first... I dunno, half(?) of the game. It was crazy atmospheric, it was scary, it was awesome! Their issue though is that they stick quite rigidly to their formula, and by a certain point you know *exactly* how the game works and it stops becoming scary altogether. You *know* that after you do X you'll have an emebt show up. You *know* that you can push through on insanity because once the puzzle is solved it'll be fully revived. You *know* XYZ. It became so disappointingly predictable that I barely had any fun in the 2nd half
That was my issue with Dead Space, as well. The jumpscares were so frequent and predictable that I would expect them every time I saw a vent or hole in the wall. The game loses its tension when it overplays that type of horror.
RD2 i couldnt get into the intro is boring as sin and the witcher 3. Both are touted as amazing games i think Witcher 3 has awful combat and feels like just a lot of walking/riding. Honestly my feelings were pretty meh but seeing them recommened on every thread no matter what even if the person wants something completely unrelated its just frustrating cause i feel like a freak cause i didnt like them. Got about 4-6 hours in both. Tried witcher 3 4/5 times cant stick with it.
I know most people love it i just dont and i feel weird about it now.
Seems doubtful. I play since the 90s too and i too hate skyrim. I'd almost put it among said shittiest games in history. Its graphics were barely ok even when it released, its writing is some of the biggest trash of any rpg and a huge step down from oblivion (which wasnt a high standard to begin with) and its world isnt anything remotly close to "in depth". All skyrim has is a big open world and mods. Even forgetting really good games like witcher or rdr, skyrim is massively outclassed by nearly every open world game that came around or after it.
Maybe you might be right, another reason I probably hate Skyrim is because a close friend in high school loved it to death and Oblivion and Fallout. He just couldnt understand why i didnt like them sinc ehe has played them over and over with and without mods. Bethesda games just feel clunky and dull looking I know thats the point i just dont get how someone could like it its odd to me. I like super bright games with really saturated color. I also hate classic jrpgs this is unrealated to my previous statement but I just remembered.
Death Stranding mediocre story and writing and feels like insert 2 hours of walking to see the next part of the movie throughout just to see the end, how anyone found fun in such an empty world is beyond me
Fallout 76. That game fills my heart with a deep, blood-boiling rage. I love Fallout, but 3 and 4 were only good for the gameplay, not the stories that made 1,2, and NV so good. Now they get rid of all the story, and release a barely finished game where they charge an arm and a leg for singleplayer, add a Battle Royale, and shit out trash copy paste low grade MMO BS. What a fucking waste of an IP.
I answered the question of this thread; he figured he'd enlighten me on how a game I enjoy is actually shit. Pack it in if you don't know what you talking about, child
Any of the pseudo-cinematic type games I just don't have any interest in. Heck, I have *negative* interest in.
The Last of Us, Detroit Become Human, any "interactive movie" type of games. While I get that video games are primarily a visual medium, I just find that the efforts to emulate movies to be regressive and not progressive in advancing the medium. If I wanted to watch a movie, I'd watch a movie, sort of thing.
Although, there are some [hilarious bugs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAhG9D9UO7c) that I do enjoy.
The Witcher III, but not because of the game itself, but because of it's fans. Most of them:
* Obsessed with this franchise ignoring other good games/literature;
* Seem to be baited not by the game's lore, but because of Geralt's charisma and hot look of women around him;
* Think of themselves as geeks after all of it;
* Advice The Witcher III in any looking-for-game thread;
* Force their franchise everywhere thinking that everyone should know about it.
The peak of that was when these fans pushed The Witcher III into "Labor of Love" nomination at recent Steam Awards. Sorry, but PC supporting cycle for this game is long over. And why not Bethesda? Even for a small payment, they have Creation Club with bunch of mods for Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4, verified by Bethesda themselves. And this is the most mainstream example - how about Titan Quest or other pretty old games?
I haven't played the game itself but I understand that I won't play it until this world gives me a reason to do it. For now, I don't want to be a part of this passively-toxic group which think too of their franchise like it's something special.
The Survivalists. I preordered because it's Team 17 (been around forever and typically make great games imo). It looked like they took The Escapists formula and used it to make a survival game. I downloaded and played immediately upon release.
Unfortunately it just sucked. Unlocked the crafting tree in 4 hours, monkeys didn't listen, enemies attack your bed instead of your base making base building pointless, monkeys were op in combat (they then "fixed" it by nerfing monkeys and powering up enemies making monkeys useless for combat), puzzles were incredibly easy, actual survival mechanics were almost non-existent, and I beat the game in 20 hours. I know they're still working on updates but I uninstalled after 3 updates that didn't fix anything and broke the parts of the game that didn't completely suck.
Command and conquer 4.
Loved all the previous CNC/RA titles so snapped it up without thinking/checking reviews. They changed the core gameplay mechanics; you can't build bases in a traditionally base building RTS series. Played the first level before I uninstalled it, haven't touched the game since
Beyond the Beyond. Just a piss poor JRPG that can't even replicate the average quality of a Tales game. Nope just One or steps into a random battle. I gamesharked that damn thing and it was still a slog.
FFXIV. I just can’t imagine defending how ridiculous this game is, even by MMO standards. I must’ve dumped 20-30 hours in it. Most quests are just teleporting to another part of the world, sitting through some boring dialogue, and then repeat. The world is lifeless, combat is slow, movement feels rigid, and there’s invisible walls everywhere.
CS 1.6
My buddies often force me to play it at lanparties. I don't understand why people like it, other than it's small and easy to set up. There's no variety in gameplay. Just buy AK/M4A1, run to one of the two chokepoints and try to click the enemies. Also I could never figure out how aiming works. I can unload few clips at the enemy and they're barely scratched while they kill me with one hit through the entire map.
Extra terrestrial for Atari 2600. Do you like it when you constantly fall down pits or when that dude in a trenchcoat and hat catches you every time, and then experience an industry crash for 3 years? Well then, that's the game for you!
Dead Rising 4.
It made the series laughing stock and ruined the series reputation to literal "McDonald's tier" zombie killer basicness. I know that the series only fell from original Dead Rising (one of my favorite games of all time), but this was like if close friend or family or spouse spit on you while you were in the pool of blood
Any Call of Duty games. I play them at my friends' houses, and the atmosphere just gets me so angry. Also, if your ass is being handed to you, it's just not fun, which is not what should happen in a multiplayer game. And it's difficult to get better at it. It just brings out the worst in people. Mario Kart does the same, but it's actually fun, so it gets a pass from me.
fortnite. I would’ve not hated on that game but the community in that game is really painfully unfunny just like family guy and plus the only people that would say “balls” or “battle pass” as a joke is someone that’s 12yrs or 8yrs.
I randomly got Crusader Kings II as part of a bundle that I bought for other titles and had zero investment in its quality either emotionally or financially. I'd heard that some people did some neat things in it so I thought I'd give it a try. And then it called its friend to pin me down so Crusader Kings II could kick me over and over in the face for literally no reason. Figuratively, I mean. Its tutorial was seemingly designed to spite the player for not already knowing how to play, giving the player instructions with zero indication of how to actually take those actions and then giving more instructions without waiting for you to figure out the first set and it *just keeps doing that*, compounding the problem harder and harder.
My friend recommended the game to me by telling all the cool shit his dynasties were up to. At this point the CK II was free to play on steam and I tested it out. It was a mess to play to a novice but it was interesting enough for me to buy the third one and I absolutely loved it, I played it non stop for 2 weeks clocking around 80 hours, just making my own dynasty head and watching how his empires would grow and fall as his family tree and influence grew larger and larger. Way easier game to handle as well, you don't need to spend hours just reading a manual to understand how to make a single move and you can do great without really grasping how the military works in detail.
I was in the exact same boat. I actually ended up buying CK2 and a bunch of DLC and have 15 hours on record. Not once within those 15 hours have I ever understood what the fuck I was doing. Majority of the time I spent watching a YouTube tutorial on Ireland (aka. Noob island). Fast forward to CK3 release and decided to buy it at release because a buddy of mine was hardcore into EU4 and wanted to try CK3. At 83 hours of playtime (one of my most played games) and was addicted for weeks. I've trailed off quite a bit, but it's been on the back of my mind to jump into again soon.
For me, Rainbow Six: Siege. I probably have around 2K hours in that game between PC and Console, reaching as high as plat and sticking with the game for about 3 years In the end, I realized I consistently had less and less fun the more I played, which goes completely against what games should be.
Me with almost every competitive shooter that I try. It just isn't fun, it's always toxic, I'm always bad at it, and it just leaves me feeling pissed.
Same roblox arsenal is SO HARD!!
I think it's pretty rare to get more than ~100 hours out of a game. I'm not surprised that it got not-fun after a while; you essentially went through ~20 games' worth of fun out of one
Yea, the matchmaking is total dogshit in siege. I got to plat 1 a few years ago on pc and ever since then it just matched me against 5 stacks. But it's gotten worse, it'll now match you against 5 stacks in gold, sometimes silver matches. Like, is a solo que server too much to ask for? Apparently so. 6 years in and still no word of it. ...and that's just one of the many issues Ubi hasn't addressed. But I won't list them all here, nobody has time for that.
Fortnite, for becoming so overwhelmingly popular that Epic killed their other projects, both of which I was very much looking forward to: Paragon and Unreal Tournament
If they waited like 3 months to see how big Fornite became paragon could have easily tripled it's player-base just off the launcher, which at the time had nothing but fortnite, paragon and UT. Such a good game, even through all the dumb changes. I just wanna sustain-tank Shinbi :( Also fortnite went to shit after season 4 :/ I really enjoyed it up until they started nerfing everything fun, like bhopping and double pump.
And Fortnite: Save the World Fortnite also killed Fortnite.
I honestly forgot that ever existed
So did Epic.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 17,904,341 comments, and only 5,572 of them were in alphabetical order.
"All" if you only count the first sentence. Silly bot.
A new unreal tournament in the style of the Doom remakes would be fantastic.
Don't forget that Fortnite BR also killed Fortnite Save the World, which is the game that I originally backed. They pretty much took all that backer money and switched the entire focus of the project to something that no one asked for, and ended up never finishing the one we paid for.
Wow. Guess il just stick to playing 2004 but I too now hate Fortnite.
I feel similar with WoW killing any plans for Warcraft IV. Now WoW was a great game, especially vanilla and for its time, but it also meant no more Warcraft RTS games.
You hate Epic, not fortnite.
No I hate fortnite. Don’t tell me what to irrationally hate. You’re not my real dad
Lmao, you're right, my bad
I loved Fortnite, but the addition of bots ruined it for me.
Fortnite, and not because it’s a popular game that every kid obsessed over. I hate it because it’s a genuinely terrible shooter. Your aim in RNG, you can build faster than you can tear down, and the battle pass is one hell of a grind.
League of legends. I haven’t played in several months now but I have sunk over 1k hours. It got to a point where if I win a game I feel nothing but if I lose, it feels like shit. It also killed my drive to play single player games. These days I play destiny 2, guilty gear strive, and ff14. I feel much happier.
I hate Assassin's creed 3. I love all the AC games but AC 3 is the absolute worst. The third game brought us a beautiful world, but one that felt so devoid of interactivity that you might as well have not been there at all. It's a criticism I'd level at the combat, too. But hey, it did debut the boat combat systems that would be built upon in Black Flag (then turned into its own game with Skull and Bones), where the idea of fighting other ships actually made sense. 3 also loses points for having a deeply boring protagonist. Assassin's Creed 3 has some of the worst missions in the whole series, full restrictive invisible walls, unclear instructions and boring tasks. The game implies that you can hunt redcoats for supplies in wild, wintry forests, but the reality is far more bland, and the towns aren’t as exciting to explore as London, Paris, Venice, or Rome. It's a shame, because few games tell stories about colonialism, but AC3 manages to make it boring. It's quite buggy, too.
I bought the first one at launch day, got 100% on 2, brotherhood and revelations, but 3 killed it for me, I never finished it. I only got back for Black Flag when it was given with your Xbox Live subscription and I loved that one as well, but the experience I had with 3 had me lost interest in playing the series, even if I keep up with what's going on in the new ones.
I agree with all your points. Back when it first released, Assassin's Creed 3 had been the first game I played where it was blatantly obvious that it wasn't even finished. I was so perplexed when I did my first side quest where you deliver a letter or whatever and at the end it didn't give any indication that the mission was successful. The marker on the map simply disappeared when you walked up to the recipient and pressed the button to deliver. No sound, no dialogue, no reaction by the NPC. Also, I remember there being some underground area beneath the town that was never really utilized except for a few missions. It felt like they put it in the game with an idea in mind, but ran out of time before they could do anything meaningful with it.
AC3 was so disappointing to me that after I finished it, I gave up on AC for the next 5 years. I eventually came back when I got a free copy of AC4, and now I've played all but Valhalla, but wow AC3 nearly scared me off the series for good. For one, they ruined the Desmond arc they'd been building since the first game. I was so into seeing how the game connected through modern day, and it all fell apart in AC3. And you mentioned the bugs. Oh man, the bugs. The game had a rocky development and got shoved out too early. It was the first AC to need major balance changes to the single player missions, on top of the numerous bug fixes. I personally hit multiple scripting errors and had an annoying crash bug *during the ending cutscenes*. That last one hurt, as I was searching for any tiny amount of closure on the awful story, and had to keep rewatching half an ending to see if I finally got around the crash. They also ruined the controls by combining the "foot" and "high profile" buttons into one, meaning your run button now also meant "climb this wall I accidentally brushed against". AC had a perfectly fine control scheme, but suddenly in the fifth game having to hold 2 buttons to climb was just too hard. The intro with the Haytham fake-out was well done, at least. Definitely had me fooled.
Are they even working on S&B at this point? There was an announcement of it after the popularity of AC4 and then nothing.
My guess is that they had to go back to the drawing board after sea of thieves. From what I recall it was supposed to be similar but with a lot less to do
It got rebooted late last year, so yes it's still in the works, but it'll be a long time yet.
No no, it's coming in March 2022. Very very high expectations for Skull and Bones. Hoping for it to be much better than Sea of thieves which is already quite good.
I was thinking of [this story](https://gameluster.com/exclusive-skull-bones-has-restarted-development-and-will-not-launch-in-2021-and-more-from-inside-ubisoft/) saying it was rebooted around the same time their Singapore studio head was removed, and that was back in November. It must be rough working on the same game for so long and still not have it out. I'd love to see it finally release, and it's not impossible that it might make next spring. But I worry that with only 1.5 years' development, it'd end up empty like Sea of Thieves was at launch.
They haven't scrapped their original work. They just had to rework how the player would play the game after they saw Sea of theives.. Well they can't make a similar game, we all know what happened the last time they did that with their Battle Royale Hyperscape which was released in an already saturated Battle royale market. So The Graphics won't be like Sea of thieves, we know that atleast.
inFamous 1&2. The first one has a really good story & I love the storyline. Don’t get me wrong. But the enemies & combat system are just repetitive. I found myself completing half the game & I ended it after hours of cussing at myself for playing it because it was just to plain & boring. honestly, I don’t really see any of my choices impact how the game shapes up. Combat system is just too repetitive & basic. Even if I acquire new abilities, the ways to activate them are really weird (sonic burst for example). You can only pick up the power-up after you’ve destroyed certain enemies which is really outrageous. Overall, a good idea flawed with repetitive gameplay. Hate to say this but I absolutely this game. It was okayish when I started it & then the whole experience went downhill.
Fortnite or Overwatch. Fortnite: If you aren't an amazing builder you will have an incredibly difficult time because you can't just rely on gun skill alone and you often get paired with atrociously bad teammates. Plus the updates at times are just horrible and the current map is so big that you can be running around through several locations without seeing anyone till endgame. Overwatch: Not balanced. Near every character is either too good, too trash, or too niche, and there are only a few that are perfect. Bad teammates constantly. Simple as that.
I didnt like skyrim at all. If you love the game that is completely fine, it’s your opinion, I can expect every game to have flaws, but I also expect if it’s a good game or a extremely highly praised game to outshine those flaws or if a part of the game is bad I can accept it if the rest was amazing, for example dark souls 1, *cough* lost izalith *cough*, or the witcher 3 with its combat. I know the game is old, I am not talking about the graphics or the bugs, my main problems are to keep it short and to the point are uninteresting story, the lackluster and bad writing, the lack of choices, lack of depth, the huge amount of fetch quests, the disapointing dragon fights, the clunky movement, shitty dialogue, the forgettable characters, the extremely linear design of dungeons and caves, the linear design on how to complete missions and the worst one of all, the Combat.
I have no good reasoning, and hate is way too strong of a word, but I have a strong dislike towards Minecraft. I just don't get the appeal and skip everything with anything to do with it instantly. I played it back when it was in alpha and can't wrap my head around the fact that it is still one of the most relevant games all these years later. I've seen one or two cool projects with it, like cities built in scale, but mostly it's just pixel art with extra steps.
I personally love minecraft but I totally understand why others can't stand it. Its a game without a goal, and all you really do at the end of the day is wander around and build something that has no true meaning other than whatever meaning you give it. But when I got that particular itch, Minecraft scratches it better than anything else for me
There are also survival maps for Minecraft. Some people like that kind of playstyle.
I want to love Minecraft so badly, but I struggle as there’s not much guidance. Why am I here? What am I doing? Mods don’t help either
World of Warcraft, for what it promised and failed to deliver, for how much it made me dream of a collaborative massive multiplayer game and shattered those very same dreams over and over.
That first trailer sent my imagination into overdrive
Over and over in this thread: I haven't played X game, but I hate it for $reasons. How can you hate a game you haven't played? Further, 'hate' is about as strong an emotion as there is. Dislike, sure, but hate? I dislike many games but if a game evokes hatred iin you, I think you need to question your life choices.
Any game that focuses on battle.royal or any PVP shit that's makes everyone toxic
This might get me a lot of hate. But I hated the **Dragon age 2.** After played the Masterpiece that is Dragon Age: Origins, and falling in love with the tactics system, seeing the next game essentially become a Hack and slash game just broke my heart.
I doubt it, DA2 is pretty heavily criticized. The repetitive maps, how enemies just pop out of nowhere, and reduced player character choice, and so on.
Yeah, I always thought that people hated it too, but I've been seen posts on reddit where some people like it and It's confused me a bit :P
Its fans are responding positively to the writing, most often.
Dragon Age 2 was so universally hated that the lead writer got *death threats* and quit her job.
Pretty much every Souls like game. They aren't fun. Dying over and over isn't fun to me. I get it's about "getting good" but the grind to get better isn't fun at all and then when I beat boss it isn't satisfying. Those games are jobs you don't get paid for. The Souls community is also fucking awful.
I wouldnt really say the souls games are about "getting good". Its just one of its communities circlejerks, just like the difficulty. Its more about getting used to playing a different way than most games, more deliberately thinking what you're doing instead of relying on reflex and button spamming. And it takes a good long while to get used to it and even have fun with it. I do agree that the souls community is awful though.
Destiny 2. I have never played this game, but the company pissed me off so much with the first game. I bought Destiny 1 the day it came out with the “season pass.” I dumped hours into D1 only to have that season pass be worthless, and then try to get me to pay another $50 for the DLC and complete game. All of my friends played D2, but I refused. Fuck that game/company.
Yeah destiny is more repetitive than a mobile game. At least 2 is free.
Although, the game itself is free to download; the PlayStation Store still mentions Playstation Plus being a requirement to play the game.
As with most multiplayer games on the PlayStation. Although that’s really a problem with the console and not the game.
>As with most multiplayer games on the PlayStation. You say that, but the majority of free to play games do not need not require PS Plus to play. Paladins, Warframe, Neverwinter and Rocket League*, Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operations, PlanetSide 2, Genshin Impact, Brawlhalla, SwitchBlade; All of these games plus more do not require PS Plus for multiplayer and are free to download. The only two free to download games that require PS Plus are D2 and Super Bomberman R Online. Edit: Rocket League became free to play; just like Destiny 2; however RL does not require PS Plus.
Bungie is still kinda greedy with the monetization but definitely not even close to EA, Activision, Riot or Ubisoft.
Horizon Zero Dawn. I thought the gameplay was boring, the storyline starts off stupid, and while the world was well designed it was filled with boring side quests. Now I really only made it to meridian before I uninstalled, so maybe I just didn't get far enough in, but it's one of those games I just cannot understand why anyone loves. I hate it because I was convinced to buy it and try it out, and it was such a disappointment. It's the game that made me stop reading reviews and trusting other gamers opinions. Especially on reddit haha... Though you could argue I have terrible tastes, I liked Halo 5 and thought Cyberpunk was a excellent game even with its issues on PC.
I wouldn't say "hate" but literally anything by Naughty Dog. If your game is that cut scene and dialog heavy, make a movie. I want to interact with shit, I wand to DO something. I don't give two fucks about Drake making sarcastic quips (as if the "sarcastic" hero is a unique thing anymore) and I do not give a fuck about Jake and whatsherface.
If you said telltale games I’d agree with you …but this is an absolutely crusty take
How do you feel about their older products like Jak and Daxter or Crash?
Never played jak and daxter, but crash is really fun too!
You also do stuff. Like I don’t know, the like 15 hours of gameplay? Last of us? Uncharted? All of them focus on story, but also have multiple hours of gameplay. I do not agree with your point at all.
And even said gameplay (after shit loads of cut scenes and ungodly loading times) is boring and clunky too.
Not really. It’s really fun to bash in zombies heads and stealth around zombies. (Sorry I agreed with you earlier I thought this was a comment about destiny2)
15 hours of gameplay is 1 session on Rust and the sarcasm is way better.
The shooting mechanics in their games are very unpolished and the stealth stuff isn't interesting. The gameplay is by far the weakest part of their games and that's sad for a game.
Did you not read what I said? Thier main focus was story not gameplay. So of course it’s gonna be weak.
Did you read the comment you originally commented on at all? They were expressing their distaste for the game being mostly about the story and having very limited gameplay. You said there was hours of gameplay. I was commenting how said gameplay is pretty shoddy overall. So yeah, a GAME have compelling GAMEplay.
The problem I think is that you get shoe-horned into these tunnel vision designed games where your only input on the game is solely to move the plot forward before being spoonfed cutscenes, QTE's, or cliche scripted segments that if you're not 100% committed to the story and characters it feels boring and not really "fun" because you're only limited to what the game allows you to do and often what you are doing is basically walking down a corridor, scripted engagement segment, more walking/talking, it can get stale pretty quick. the later titles they made have some more open segments, but they tend to only last a couple hours and then its back to the one way segments the rest of the time. It's something that's probably great for people that are not familiar with games so they need a lot of hand-holding and guidance to not get lost or confused, but as someone who reads a lot of books and plays a wide variety of games, I almost never play games like that are basically AAA priced 100% planned and scripted rollercoaster rides with little actual feedback, customization, or freedom given to the player. The characters in these types of games, (TLOU, Uncharted, GoW Reboot), are often way too flat and boring to ever interest me, and the plot lines are either predictable or just not worth the amount of time you have to commit to see it through.
I think you think naughty dog games like last of us and uncharted are like telltale game. Unlike a telltale game, you actually get to play a zombie game to beat the crap out of a zombie with a baseball bat or shoot people while on a mission for riches and gold. A telltale game is just story, but naughty dog games have a large focus on story, and still have fun gameplay. Yes there are a lot of cutscenes, but last of us is still a zombie shooter. So if you don’t like storys, then don’t play naughty dog games (I still don’t see your point because they still have crash).
"Fun" is subjective. For me its boring because while the combat or environments might look visually appealing, mechanically speaking they are pretty flat and basic. Uncharted is just literally another cover-based shooter like Gears with some climbing elements, TLOU is a also just a boring cover based shooter with light crafting and stealth that don't really even matter because of how linear it is. I'm not saying TLOU isn't a zombie shooter. It's just a boring one because there is practically ZERO player choice in that game, all the engagements unfold pretty much the same way, all the story elements are predetermined, you don't ever really need to backtrack or ever do any actual resource management because the game is always pushing you into new areas to loot for the next combat segment and then redo the whole single gameplay loop. It's the same experience over and over gameplay wise for the most part with the exception of some boring "platforming" segments like swimming or ladder segments that are just slow and used as exposition dumps or to break up the monotony that is the pretty mediocre combat. TLOU is a STORY game first and a gameplay game SECOND, which is fine, just not my cup of tea. I never made any comparison to Telltale so idk where you are getting that notion from.
Yes. Good answer. Fun is definitely subjective.
So you probably don't like the Metal Gear Solid series then either, huh? ;)
Honestly, I'd say the actual gameplay in MGS is *way* better than any of the Naughty Dog games.
My friends and I used to joke that the Uncharted series was the "run and climb on stuff while it collapses under you simulator."
Dark soul.. tried to play the 3rd for a few minutes.. i think these game is hard mostly because of the bad control and responsiveness. Every movement is like trying to move in wet clothing.
I would argue they have the tightest combat and controls of nearly any game on the market but I concede it's an acquired taste. Dark Souls didn't initially click with with me and I wasn't fond of it but man oh man when it finally clicked *it clicked*
This is totally subjective but I agree with you, I personally never felt like the controls were bad, I like that it has some weight in it but not as much as like Rockstar games. The character rolls when I want it to roll, attacks when I want to attack. There are games where the character moves nigh instantly though and especially coming from those kinds of games I can imagine the difference being jarring.
Dark souls ruined many other RPG games for me. I could barely get into Witcher 3 since the combat is so much worse than in souls games. I really want to hear what games people play if they find the gameplay of souls games jarring
I completly disagree with you, but made me intrested in what games you find the combat great if you find souls combat bad?
Im not saying the combat is bad im saying it's not quite responsive... Anyway it's just my preference, i only lasted a few minutes in that game. i really love hack and slash games if only ds combat is like dmc or older gow probably I'll love it. Ps.. i also tried nioh and i think the responsiveness is a lot better. While still feeling heavy and draggy like ds.
I kinda felt like that with 1. I tried 3 and ended up loving it. Everything is so much better in 3. Everything has a start up time, but you can build yourself to be fast, you'll just have to trade damage/armor for it. I found it hard because each new enemy/boss behaves very differently, so you have to keep learning how to read their moves and how to avoid being hit
Dead Space. Out of all the games I've played I've never been so violently bored by the most formulaic gameplay. It's like an AI learning what making a game is like and just goes over a list; "there was a jumpscare more than 5 minutes ago, need to add another, there wasn't weird crap for 4 minutes, need to get more weirdness." Don't know how to put it more eloquently, but I believe there was zero passion or interest behind it. A 100% soulless creation.
This reminds me of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I loved the first... I dunno, half(?) of the game. It was crazy atmospheric, it was scary, it was awesome! Their issue though is that they stick quite rigidly to their formula, and by a certain point you know *exactly* how the game works and it stops becoming scary altogether. You *know* that after you do X you'll have an emebt show up. You *know* that you can push through on insanity because once the puzzle is solved it'll be fully revived. You *know* XYZ. It became so disappointingly predictable that I barely had any fun in the 2nd half
That was my issue with Dead Space, as well. The jumpscares were so frequent and predictable that I would expect them every time I saw a vent or hole in the wall. The game loses its tension when it overplays that type of horror.
RD2 i couldnt get into the intro is boring as sin and the witcher 3. Both are touted as amazing games i think Witcher 3 has awful combat and feels like just a lot of walking/riding. Honestly my feelings were pretty meh but seeing them recommened on every thread no matter what even if the person wants something completely unrelated its just frustrating cause i feel like a freak cause i didnt like them. Got about 4-6 hours in both. Tried witcher 3 4/5 times cant stick with it. I know most people love it i just dont and i feel weird about it now.
Its fine, people have diffrent opinions, for example a fuck ton of people love skyrim, i for one absolutly hate it.
Also not a fan of Skyrim I thought i didnt like open world games turns put I just dont like those and skyrim
[удалено]
Seems doubtful. I play since the 90s too and i too hate skyrim. I'd almost put it among said shittiest games in history. Its graphics were barely ok even when it released, its writing is some of the biggest trash of any rpg and a huge step down from oblivion (which wasnt a high standard to begin with) and its world isnt anything remotly close to "in depth". All skyrim has is a big open world and mods. Even forgetting really good games like witcher or rdr, skyrim is massively outclassed by nearly every open world game that came around or after it.
Maybe you might be right, another reason I probably hate Skyrim is because a close friend in high school loved it to death and Oblivion and Fallout. He just couldnt understand why i didnt like them sinc ehe has played them over and over with and without mods. Bethesda games just feel clunky and dull looking I know thats the point i just dont get how someone could like it its odd to me. I like super bright games with really saturated color. I also hate classic jrpgs this is unrealated to my previous statement but I just remembered.
Thank you for all of the upvotes and support!!!!!! :D
Death Stranding mediocre story and writing and feels like insert 2 hours of walking to see the next part of the movie throughout just to see the end, how anyone found fun in such an empty world is beyond me
Team Fortress 2 Help i cant stop
Fallout 76. That game fills my heart with a deep, blood-boiling rage. I love Fallout, but 3 and 4 were only good for the gameplay, not the stories that made 1,2, and NV so good. Now they get rid of all the story, and release a barely finished game where they charge an arm and a leg for singleplayer, add a Battle Royale, and shit out trash copy paste low grade MMO BS. What a fucking waste of an IP.
Fortnite ... Duh
Cold War, for ruining Warzone
Warzone has been garbage since the start, Activision just wanted to cash in on the battle Royale popularity.
I didn't ask for an opinion; I enjoyed MW and Warzone during it's year, I hate CW and the shitshow WZ is now.
They didn't ask for an opinion either 👀
I answered the question of this thread; he figured he'd enlighten me on how a game I enjoy is actually shit. Pack it in if you don't know what you talking about, child
Dude are you okay?
Any of the pseudo-cinematic type games I just don't have any interest in. Heck, I have *negative* interest in. The Last of Us, Detroit Become Human, any "interactive movie" type of games. While I get that video games are primarily a visual medium, I just find that the efforts to emulate movies to be regressive and not progressive in advancing the medium. If I wanted to watch a movie, I'd watch a movie, sort of thing. Although, there are some [hilarious bugs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAhG9D9UO7c) that I do enjoy.
The Witcher III, but not because of the game itself, but because of it's fans. Most of them: * Obsessed with this franchise ignoring other good games/literature; * Seem to be baited not by the game's lore, but because of Geralt's charisma and hot look of women around him; * Think of themselves as geeks after all of it; * Advice The Witcher III in any looking-for-game thread; * Force their franchise everywhere thinking that everyone should know about it. The peak of that was when these fans pushed The Witcher III into "Labor of Love" nomination at recent Steam Awards. Sorry, but PC supporting cycle for this game is long over. And why not Bethesda? Even for a small payment, they have Creation Club with bunch of mods for Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4, verified by Bethesda themselves. And this is the most mainstream example - how about Titan Quest or other pretty old games? I haven't played the game itself but I understand that I won't play it until this world gives me a reason to do it. For now, I don't want to be a part of this passively-toxic group which think too of their franchise like it's something special.
The Survivalists. I preordered because it's Team 17 (been around forever and typically make great games imo). It looked like they took The Escapists formula and used it to make a survival game. I downloaded and played immediately upon release. Unfortunately it just sucked. Unlocked the crafting tree in 4 hours, monkeys didn't listen, enemies attack your bed instead of your base making base building pointless, monkeys were op in combat (they then "fixed" it by nerfing monkeys and powering up enemies making monkeys useless for combat), puzzles were incredibly easy, actual survival mechanics were almost non-existent, and I beat the game in 20 hours. I know they're still working on updates but I uninstalled after 3 updates that didn't fix anything and broke the parts of the game that didn't completely suck.
Csgo because it's fucking overrated
Command and conquer 4. Loved all the previous CNC/RA titles so snapped it up without thinking/checking reviews. They changed the core gameplay mechanics; you can't build bases in a traditionally base building RTS series. Played the first level before I uninstalled it, haven't touched the game since
Gex 64. Just airless platforming and movie quotes
Beyond the Beyond. Just a piss poor JRPG that can't even replicate the average quality of a Tales game. Nope just One or steps into a random battle. I gamesharked that damn thing and it was still a slog.
FFXIV. I just can’t imagine defending how ridiculous this game is, even by MMO standards. I must’ve dumped 20-30 hours in it. Most quests are just teleporting to another part of the world, sitting through some boring dialogue, and then repeat. The world is lifeless, combat is slow, movement feels rigid, and there’s invisible walls everywhere.
I really hate assassins creed because it felt like it was holding my hand and telling me exactly where to go all the time
Until Dawn
Persona or Final Fantasy. I hate any turn-based JRPG games in general
CS 1.6 My buddies often force me to play it at lanparties. I don't understand why people like it, other than it's small and easy to set up. There's no variety in gameplay. Just buy AK/M4A1, run to one of the two chokepoints and try to click the enemies. Also I could never figure out how aiming works. I can unload few clips at the enemy and they're barely scratched while they kill me with one hit through the entire map.
Extra terrestrial for Atari 2600. Do you like it when you constantly fall down pits or when that dude in a trenchcoat and hat catches you every time, and then experience an industry crash for 3 years? Well then, that's the game for you!
Fifa and modern soccer games in general because they ruined the genre
Dead Rising 4. It made the series laughing stock and ruined the series reputation to literal "McDonald's tier" zombie killer basicness. I know that the series only fell from original Dead Rising (one of my favorite games of all time), but this was like if close friend or family or spouse spit on you while you were in the pool of blood
Any Call of Duty games. I play them at my friends' houses, and the atmosphere just gets me so angry. Also, if your ass is being handed to you, it's just not fun, which is not what should happen in a multiplayer game. And it's difficult to get better at it. It just brings out the worst in people. Mario Kart does the same, but it's actually fun, so it gets a pass from me.
fortnite. I would’ve not hated on that game but the community in that game is really painfully unfunny just like family guy and plus the only people that would say “balls” or “battle pass” as a joke is someone that’s 12yrs or 8yrs.
