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~~

@Mandy
1)Any competitive online multiplayer game.
2)FPS games.
3)Any game with subscriptions or unlimited microtransactions.

I got sick of Hades. Everything that happened in the house before and after runs was great, it was just I shame I had to repeatedly slog through a run for half an hour to get new conversations. I came to the conclusion that roguelikes probably aren't for me.

For me it's the GTA games since San Andreas and Red Dead Redemption 2.

I still try GTA V and RDR2 once in a while as I love the worlds in those games. But they always feel grindy really fast and just don't manage to hold my attention. A shame, as RDR2 looks gorgeous and I love the western setting, but the gameplay just doesn't connect with me.

Also doesn't help that each time I want to try picking GTA V or RDR2 up again I end up starting from scratch as I have no idea what the control scheme was. Another thing that just doesn't resonate with me I guess. Perhaps it's better with a controller, but as an avid mouse & keyboard guy all my attempts to use one ended with utter frustration.

For me, GTA has always been like "I can play the story and get a car as a reward, or I can just steal a car". So I always start to steal my way up, until the cops become too powerful. Then it turns into a senseless shootout and once I'm dead, the game is done for me.

It's fun for an hour or so, and that's that then.

I hate the Persona franchise. I don't like the playstyle at all. It felt very uncomfortable to me.

Witcher 3. I tried to get into the game multiple times, and I have the complete edition on PC. I don't know why exactly it isn't clicking for me, but I just can't vibe with it.

Totally agree on Persona 5. Maybe it's just because I don't particularly care about anime, but I just couldn't get into it. It just feels like hours and hours of boring anime filler episodes.

I'm also not a big fan of turn based combat, so that didn't help.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The mechanics and boss fights got old quick.

Nier Automata. I played it for a few hours but it didn’t really catch me. I found the combat and the world too boring. People were telling me it gets better especially if you play through the multiple endings. I mean I couldn’t even get myself to finish it once… I just moved on to another game.

NA is great because of the characters. They're extremely well fleshed out and undergo a serious growth during the game events. I think that if you don't care about the characters then it's not worth playing. Plot and combat are accessories to the character developments.

Celeste.

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