Gaming

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.

I don't get Minecraft. By all means it seems like one of those games that should totally be up my alley, but it does not click with me at all.

I was thinking about that with TotK too, but kept on with it.. the exploration of the Chasms added a lot for me, and I think the shrines are better.

To answer your poll, I find Mario Odyssey to be overhyped. Not saying its a bad game, but the collecting gets tiresome and the levels are nowhere near as interesting as the Galaxy games

The Assassins Creed series. It’s got all the things I love from the Uncharted and Tomb Raider games, I could just never get into it. Maybe I should have started from the beginning, I dunno. Arkham games were the same way, totally my preferred style of game and gameplay, but it just never grabbed me.

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.

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

Never into the 3d Metal Gear Solid games. Also most RTS; no matter how cool they look they just aren't my cup of tea.

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.

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.

1. The Witcher series. Around 15 years ago I've picked up Sapkowski's books. I made through one and a half. Can't stand his writing.

2. Horizon series - I watched my partner play through it and I can't think of a more bland, unimaginative world.

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.

Zelda. Breath of the wild.

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

Hollow Knight. On the exploration side I didn't like the way the map works. On the combat side it just felt... weird? Like, it's not really clunky, but I just couldn't vibe with it. Beautiful game though, "100 and something. "-percented it just for the aesthetic. But I will probably never replay it; wasn't worth the time I spent with it.

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" to me. It's odd I can't put my finger on it, but I don't like the movement which obviously affects combat.
