recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

Disagree, but won’t kill you don’t worry.

Personally, I don’t see much appeal in online fps games.

Hollow Knight. It feels gross af to die only to have to walk like 10 minutes back to the boss I die to again, and the exploration is some of the least rewarding in the metroidvania genre imo.

I don't know if everyone loves it but I just can't get on with Ni No Kuni. I love JRPGs, I love anime. But the battle system in this game is just, annoying. It's real time but you input commands through a menu. And you have creatures that can fight for you, but they share your health points. I've gone back to it a few times but I just don't enjoy it.

That’s funny, I was thinking of finally picking up Cyberpunk since I’m winding down on tears of the kingdom. I’ll still give it a shot but if it’s like Witcher 3 I don’t think I will enjoy it.

I didn’t pay a lot of the Witcher 3, but I completed cyberpunk. They are very different games. It has a slight rpg system where tire character levels up and get new abilities. But it’s its own thing.

I wouldn't say I hate Witcher 3 but it didn't engage me at all because of the "everything sucks" aura it gives. There's nothing really nice to look forward to or that makes the fight against the Big Bad worth it. However, now that I'm writing this, maybe that was intended and I should get back to the game with the mentality of a jaded mercenary only doing it for money, as I believe the Witchers are supposed to be.

BOTW. I just don't get it. It's not really that I can't stand it; rather, it's just that it didn't feel like a Zelda game to me. Yes, it's gorgeous; yes, I had some decent fun at the beginning. But in the end, I moved on. First zelda game where I didn't want to finish it and it felt like a chore playing. Like, get out of here, I don't want to micromanage how many attacks with a sword I can make. That's so annoying.

Breath of the wild, I hated it, thought it was the worst Zelda I've ever played. Just didn't feel like a Zelda to me.

Elden ring. It looks like an amazing game but it just doesn't work for me. I feel like it's the combat? Somehow it feels "clunky" for me. It's odd I can't put my finger on it, but I don't like the movement which obviously affects combat.

Just about any highly acclaimed cinematic games that take away control from the player via cutscenes or by completely lacking fail states thereby bringing the game to a halt until you press the one button they want you to for the illusion of engagement.

Maybe not quite the spirit of the question but: Endwalker killed FFXIV for me.

Played the game a ton from ARR to Shadowbringers, but can't bring myself to even log in any more. The house I've had for seven years will be demolished later this week and I don't even care.

I know people loved the story but I hated it. Job design, job balance and encounter design are in terrible states. Patches are taking longer. The new content they added for this expansion has been bland and uninteresting.

Return of the Obra Dinn. I adore puzzle mystery games, but I can’t stand the art style and it felt like I was constantly fighting the mechanics and interface.

Also Inscryption. Often the cards would purposely not explain their mechanics, but I would use it and it would do something unexpected and one bad decision often would cause to lose. I usually love deck builders like that but it was so frustrating to feel like I was being punished for trying new things.

[–] naxsat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I loved Inscryption, especially the first part (no spoilers...) but I can see why It may get frustrating at times. If anyone reading this hasn't played It, I really recomend going in blind and give It a try

Sea of Thieves. I tried it but something about the camera/movement made me physically sick right from the start. I'm also not too big of a fan of the character designs. I get pirates are scruffy and rowdy, yarrr, but they didn't seem to have ones that looked somewhat like a regular person.

Celeste.

I don't usually like platformers and Celeste didn't change my mind.
