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~~

Fallout mostly. It's all just so grey and boring and not fun at all. If I want to see a wasteland I can just go outside /s

Zelda. Breath of the wild.

Just find it repetitive. I'm probably not doing it right, but i get bored every time I try.

All those Telltale episodic games, like The wolf among us and The Walking Dead. It's so boring and slow that it makes me both extremely mad and uncomfortable.

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.

CK3 seemed like it was tailor made for me, but I ended up not liking it at all. The complexity from paradox, the rp aspects and the medieval setting are things I individually love, but I bounced off this HARD.

Halo, I tried to play reach but I got stuck in a burning building and didn't know where to go. Thankfully I could refund the collection

There's two, and both pretty controversial.

  1. Horizon Zero Dawn - I love open world games, I love exploring, I love grind, this is someone who has played every Assassins Creed, the Tomb Raider Series, Ghost Recon series, God of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, and goodness knows what else. I did about 10-12 hours of Zero Dawn and it just bored me. I think the worst thing for was the character acting, I found everyone very wooden, or just had really silly voices (like Aloy's father or whoever he was, sounded so well spoken). I found it grating. And the landscape, maybe I needed to open up more of the world, but I just didn't find it very interesting. Sure, Robot's are fun, but, even they were kinda dull.

  2. The Last of Us - Just couldnt get into it. I just found it very tedious (played about 8 hours). I dont know why it just didn't resonate with me at all. I think where AC, Tsushima etc offer escapism, TLOU being set in a regular city didnt really excite me to go out an explore. When the tv show started I thought i would give that a go hoping it would get me into playing the game, but i got bored with that about 40 minutes into episode 1 as well :(

I'm with you on "The Last of Us". I found it so generic and uninspired, or rather, very much inspired by other stuff I'd already seen everywhere.

I guess it irritated me knowing many people found it groundbreaking while that groud had been broken by many other games multiple years before that.

I found the gameplay of get in a room, sneak around looting everything you can and get out to be as engaging as a bad flash game.

I feel you. I've never been able to get into Zelda games.

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.

Horizon Zero Dawn - tried getting into it but yawwwwnnn. I found it so boring and the protaganist obnoxious. Beautiful world though.

Celeste.

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

ToTK I havent played, but persona 5 even with its weird moments I enjoyed. It made me root for the characters, not for everyone ig.
