GTA. All of them, but especially 5.
Balatro.
After I finished the first run, I was like “cool, now the number I need to beat is higher. So what?”. Which is strange, because I love deck builders, I like beating higher numbers like e.g. Brotato. But for some reason I could not be bothered with Balatro ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pretty much anything based on collecting cards or deck building.
Assassin’s Creed
Undertale. I’m sure it’s a great game, but after a decade of hearing everyone and their mothers shout about it, I’ve oddly been put off by it.
COD and most multiplayer shooters. I guess I’m just not competitive.
Outer Wilds.
Have you played it?
AAA first person shooters. At some point new releases are just are a rehash of the exact game mechanics.
New maps! And skins! You can buy them, you know!
I just saw the post about Red Dead 2 becoming the 4th most sold game.
It is 100% not my thing.
Its sad that I enjoyed GTA V, and am semi looking forward to GTA VI too, but the wild west genre is not for me.
This is the one for me. Felt like a string of QuickTime sequences and story that is dull and plodding. Just didn’t click for me at all.
Hollow Knight. Didn’t click for me. Don’t think I really like Metroidvania games generally, it just often plays out as lazy game design to me.
Most modern video games. I don’t have the ability to, not only buy games from most digital storefronts, but also buy a device that actually has the specs to run them. And when you take into consideration the fact that most modern games are live service games, that means that I probably wont even be able to play them by the time that I do manage to get a device that could have ran them. It’s difficult to get hyped over a game I know I probably wont be able to play.
I am gods biggest Disco Elysium hater. Game sux. Go read a book. Least they don’t progress lock you from turning the page
Control. It felt like being lost in an office building. Dull.
I don’t care about the story, but when I played it when it was free on PS Plus, the gameplay is bad to me as I constantly get lost in the building. The protagonist has superpower but in the game it really doesn’t feel like so. I can throw stuff at enemies, then what? There is a fight where in the beginning I fight two or three enemies with guns, and it sucked because I don’t know where they are when I’m hiding behind cover. And taking two or three shots I’m dead. It’s a shitty FPS game in disguise of a Sci-Fi action game.
Anything Bethesda. I can never play more than a couple hours before I get bored.
They have a bit of a “if you’ve played one you’ve played them all” problem
There’s definitely some nostalgia glasses.
And I dunno where you started, but I’ve been playing BGS since Oblivion, and couldn’t even get through an hour of Starfield. It played like a upscaled Xbox 360 game, with all the jank, yet none of the charm, more filler, all the loading screens, yet somehow ran like molasses. I have no idea what folks see in that game, despite the premise basically being made for me.
it’s oblivion in space.
Oblivion’s side quests (and into) had charm though. Especially the Shivering Isles, that was great.
Zelda or pokemon
Pokemon for sure. Think Zelda’s pretty cool though
I used to religiously pre-order Zelda games, but I have yet to even bother with ToTK. I couldn’t finish BoTW either. On the other hand, this year, I’ve played through KCD2 twice, so guess my tastes have changed.
Probably won’t get a Switch 2 and will wait for a decent emulator. Nintendo’s litigiousness puts me off and I don’t really want to give them any more money.
They were good in the 90s. I think Nintendo is just selling nostalgia at this point.
