Least favorite games (That everyone else likes)

Started by BackFire4 pages

Pokemon is another one for me. Never been able to get into them.

GTA and Skyrim are some examples where I simply don't see where all the praise comes from.

God of War too.

The Gears of War games.

When the biggest talking points for getting Skyrim are mods, that kind of says a lot about the base product.

I mean, nobody said "Get FTL for Captains Edition."

That was a sweet ad on that got plenty of press, but with Skyrim it's mod or go home, to listen to its fans.

I haven't played it so I'm not sure this counts. But I have no interest in the new God of War everyone seems to be melting over

They are melting over it because its so SO radically different then the previous entries, there are no more set levels, now it's open-world, the combat has been given a face-lift so its no longer just hacking and slashing till you win with no repercussions for ****ing up in combat, it's much harder now, and you have a companion now (your son) who helps you in combat, which was something featured in previous God of War games but was restricted to a certain level or boss fight.

Every little tiniest detail has been improved in some way, shape, or form.

I'd argue that most of what you said isn't true. Although I suspect you didn't play the game?

I mean I never really played the other one's either. Maybe the first level of the first game?

Just doesn't seem to grab my attention

The first Devil May Cry and Twisted Metal Black.

They were allright, but not the second coming some friends suggested...

Overwatch (awful piece of shit game)
Persona 3-5 (I have no opinion on the first two)
The Last of Us (don't actively dislike but my opinion of it is considerably lower than the general public's)

I'm sure there's more.

I'd argue that what I'd say is completely and totally true, and I haven't played the game but I've watched full livestreams of it. Believe what ya want though, bud.

First it's not open world. Second it's not harder and the combat is as shallow as ever.

If he's finding the combat hard, Then he must suck at playing games in general.

DMC is the second coming because it started the whole Action Character genre. And when it came out there was nothing quite like it in the industry.

The combat is hard at the earlier levels before you start getting upgrades, skills and runes. Once 25% into the game, the combat becomes a joke. I had so much XP by the end of it.

It doesn't help that the enemies stay the same throughout the entire game so I wasn't really do anything different. I was using the same techniques I learned at the start of the game.

I thought breath of the wild was pretty trash.

I think Breath of the Wild is probably the game I would add in this thread.

Even though I understand why people love it, I can't understand why people think it's one of the best games ever made. I just don't see it.

Oh well...I had fun playing it but it's an 8/10 type game.

I just asked and its what my friend told me when he was streaming and I was watching.

GTA games are another for me. GTA5 was the only one I finished. And even then it got taxing. They've just never really done it for me.

I had that feeling with Grand Theft Auto 4. I had to will myself to finish it.

However, I played it again and I was totally fine. I'm not sure why.

My favourite thing about Grand Theft Auto is how well they nail the vibe of the game. From Vice City, San Andreas and even GTAV....it's a joy to immerse yourself in the setting. There is nothing that beats driving ridiculous fast while listening to tunes....no other open world game comes close.
