Gaming

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

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.

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

Celeste.

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

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.

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.

Lol it's cool, we don't all have to agree. I'm curious, what are some games you do like?

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 me 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.
