I’ll start. pokemon. doesn’t matter if the game’s old or new I just can’t get into how it plays. idk the gameplay just gets old to me pretty quickly, palworld is an upgrade in every way tbh
Terraria
Monster Hunter, Persona, Dark Souls, Witcher.
I did get a good 30-40hrs out of Elden ring but felt I saw what I needed to from the genre and moved on.
Witcher. I tried. The series was great though.
Basically any SRPG but if I had to choose one I would say Fire Emblem; this gente always leaves me bored with how long combat takes.
Though I am powering through, on easy, in Hundred Line Last Defense Academy because the story is that good.
Capitalism: I refuse to develop my sociopathy to the level required to participate.
Victoria 2 scratches the itch pretty well for me.
Come on,the second game was decent!
Final fantasy or any jrpg really
Soooooooo long and boring
Any of the big popular RPG series. I got through Mass Effect 2 (it was on offer for a quid) but have no desire to go back, and I know that’s one of the more action-based games. I also played Witcher 3 up to Skellig but just can’t bring myself to finish it.
Tried Minecraft multiple times. Can’t stand the game. Weird part is that I absolutely love both Terraria and Vintage Story.
I found a huge surface vein of olivine in a peridotite cliff face earlier while searching for bauxite, only to realize that I was about 50 blocks to the east of the Resonance Archives entrance, which my world put in a damn near inaccessible valley between K2 and Everest.
If I can find some bauxite I have a ton of iron to make some steel and between that and my huge harvest of flax and honey, I will have honey sulfur poltices, and the eidolon should be a cakewalk.
Metroid*
Same with me. Can’t get into Pokémon. Love the show though. Same with zelda…super boring.
A friend tried to get me into Half-Life multiple times and I just cannot get into it.
It’s a fast-paced FPS game, which means I’m likely to get dizzy after some time but something about the ambience makes it worse than usual. I can play Skyrim for up to 1.5 hours at a time, Minecraft or Fortnite for 45-60 minutes, but I’d be lucky to play 20 minutes of Half-Life without my head pounding.
Plus, it’s a linear, story-based game, and I’m more into games based more on mechanics and progression (like Pokémon, Factorio, Cities Skylines, Civ, Balatro, and incremental games) than story. And at least for as long as I’ve tried to play it, there isn’t even much of a story.
Have you tried Portal? I ask because it’s half life but worse, for you, it sounds like.
You might like Dyson Sphere Program, and Vintage Story, given the list you named. They’re both early access and cheap.
I’ve never tried Portal but I know what it is. I’d imagine this would f*ck with my head even more than Half-Life.
Funny enough, DSP is on my “purchased backlog”, games I decided to buy on sale on a whim but never got around to actually playing.
Never heard of Vintage Story before.
Animal crossing.
And back when this was a thing, Candy Crush.
Fallout. I like the premise and I’ll watch other people play it, but I just cannot get into the mechanics of that franchise. Something about VATS is just not enjoyable to me.
Try the first one. Before Bethesda got a hold of it.
Walking simulator…no fun for me
Pokemon. Never played one, never will. Hot take is it’s a gateway into IRL hunting which is honestly just very cruel. Do not approve.
I’m enjoying the idea of someone going IRL hunting and their only training is the Pokémon games.
Just out in the woods, gently tossing pokeballs at very confused deer.
hot take
You weren’t kidding
that is a swealtering take if I’ve ever seen one
Fortnite.
Just. No.
Can’t stand the building. I’ll build in Minecraft and shoot in cs. No need to mashup!
