Has there ever been a video game that you view as a great game but personally you hate it? Like you see what makes it good but it just doesn't click with you.

Terraria

I respect Kerbal Space Program's ambition and attention to detail, but it's not my thing.

The Grand Strategy genre as a whole. I just don't have the patience.

Most people who play videogames lack the education or understanding that there's a difference between what they like vs what is good. It requires an individual to acknowledge that making videogames, art, music, etc. Are skills, and you can demonstrate a proficiency in them. Unfortunately, most people have a very belittling, juvenile perspective on games and media, and treat them like addictive toys, with no accounting for taste.

Metal Gear and the Ace Attorney series. I should try again to give them a fair shot, honestly.

I don't even disagree with your point, but fucking hell you write like a cunt.

Probably Overwatch & Fortnite.

I like stuff that relies on character; stuff where they put so much design and time and love into each and every character from that series that, even if all copies of the game got destroyed, those characters would still live on because they exist in human memory.

But I absolutely can't stand either of those games.

Baldur's Gate and other top level WRPGs like them. I know that they are fantastic and I can appreciate their work, but jesus they bore me to absolute tears. It's not that I'm too ADHD for them, the visuals, story, characters, music, and standard combat are just so dull and lifeless that I can't play for too long without wanting to die.

Which is weird because I can play Mount and Blade, Divinity OS2, and the like for hours on end without realizing how fast my day is evaporating.

Dark souls and other games like it, I like a challenge but those games are sadistic and I dont understand the appeal.

Darkest Dungeon. I enjoyed 95% of my only playthrough but I never want to touch it again.

Seconded. His description of "belittling, juvenile perspective" applies as much to the poster as it does whoever he's describing.

This

Once you get over the initial "This game is bullshit" hump, you realize that the games are honestly really easy to handle and just require methodical approaches to situations. It's like keeping on your toes. I'm not telling you that you need to go out and master them, but the real joy is always once you can fight the same thing 20 times and win 15, look at those 5, and know exactly why you died during them.

The DMC series in general. I've tried playing 1,4 and 5 and every time I just stopped after beating the first big boss after the prologue, not because I found them difficult or anything, but because the gameplay just doesn't click with me.
I hate having to unlock moves and I think the way the challenges and health upgrades are implemented is dumb as fuck (finding them randomly in stages). The timed nature of the stages makes it so you have to rush through as quickly as possible to get a high grade, but then the health upgrades and challenges mean you have to look around and somewhat take your time. It's conflicting and I hate being put under pressure like that. Still I can see why others enjoy playing the games (fun to master combos and levels/enemies/bosses are visually interesting) but the series just isn't for me.

Vanilla RE2. Was never been able to get into like 1 and 3.

Hotline Miami, I have a strong taboo on insta-kill games.

Metal Gear Rising. Great action game, really knows how to get you excited, but I just hate the writing. Anyone that's not boring as fuck is a walking meme. I don't like that it does nothing good as a stealth game either.

Evangelion

Too many to list honestly, only game I never understood the appeal was underrtale. I do understand when people hate certain games because the devs fucked up what it was supposed to be.

Starcraft. Not a fan of RTS games especially after being burned out by C&C / WC1, but I admit it's good.

The Soulsborne series probably. I love the atmosphere and I did play through the first game but its not really my style of games. I'll probably get around to playing the others at some point.

Also this.

Witcher 3.

The combat is just so shit to me.

>Iamverysmartandspecial.jpg

Horizon zero dawn.

I have tried to play it about 3 times just get out of the prologue and then I stopped caring. I have no idea why, game seems great, there’s just something about it that doesn’t click with me.

>Dark souls 1, 2, 3
>Bloodborne
>Sekrio
I get people fucking love these games but God damn they're over rated as fuck.
Actually just hours and hours of dying until you memorize every damage frame of a boss, there's no skill just an illusion of skill, that's why it's main stream af.

Undertale
The humor just seems cringey but then i see other people play it and they laugh all the time. I dunno i thought it was going to be like earthbound but then i played it and it was actually just tumblr and reddit memes.

I agree I don't like it for all the memes or matfag theory's; I loved it because its design towards story and player interactions with the game world is amazing.

I can't get into fighting games.

most turn based games like FF or original fallout

Shit, I forgot to explain. Because to me these games just feel like lack of personal control. Sure it is strategy and you choose the stuff. But stuff like Xcom. When I see my dude miss a headshot where the gun is in the aliens face, then I have to wait for my team to react then their team. It just ticks me off to no end. That's why my love for fighting games and doom/quake are growing. I know when stuff screws up it is my fault and I can fix it right then and there, not wait forever to fix something I never did.

Monster hunter series, i can see the appeal and i tried to get into it but not for me.

No. If I don't like it then it's shit

Witcher 3. I don't hate it, but I just can't get into it no matter how many times I try

No shit it's not going to be fun if you don't have 90% of your moveset.

>The timed nature of the stages makes it so you have to rush through as quickly as possible to get a high grade
That's a misconception on your part. 4 and 5 don't even grade you on time.

>the health upgrades and challenges mean you have to look around and somewhat take your time
You only have to do it once.

>It's conflicting
No, it isn't. It's only "conflicting" if you're only playing the game once (which it's not what you're supposed to do). Getting upgrades also rarely takes any time, specially if you know where to find them.

Dark Souls. I love the gameplay and storytelling and difficulty, but I just don’t enjoy the castles and dragons and knights style setting. Bloodborne and Sekiro are fantastic though, and I enjoy seeing that formula in a setting that I like.

You're in the wrong thread.

Final Fantasy. I tried a couple, liked the settings but could never bring myself to finish them for some reason (save for crisis core) but I know they're great games. Except for Crystal Chronicles, it bored me to death and I pretty much hated the experience eventhough I don't remember anything about it now

Super Metroid

God Pokemon's animation went down the shitter. Sure the effect and sparkles are better but the characters and colours are drawn so horribly.

The Final Fantasy games in general.

anno. went into the series expecting autistically detailed city-builders with loads of room for creativity. was disappointed to find a (very good) trade/empire/logistics simulator with city-building elements instead

thanks for the input, now either stay on topic or fuck off

I feel the this way about the Souls and Souls like series. I can see why people love them but they are not for me. I just don't feel any satisfaction after it clicks and I beat a boss after struggling a bit.

Mario series
Sonic series
Pokemon series
God of war series
Assassins creed series
Dishonored series

I can tell that racing games pay great attention to graphics and car realism but I just can't see myself enjoying them.

Minecraft.

Final fantasy and other turn based jrpgs.

I feel exactly this way about Dragons Dogma, something about it just feels off. I love MH, Dark Souls, stuff like that so I just don't know.
I'd like to like it

>proving his point
kek

stalker. could only play a couple hours of each game. they feel good and shit but i dunno man, i wish i could love them. same thing for outward lately

Most fighting games. I think they look cool and everything, but I just don't want to put in the effort required to get good at them.

Ah, Outward I seriously don't see the appeal of that game

Any puzzle/visual adventure. They make me feel like my progress is being constantly halted, so I end up irritated.
Fighting games too. I love action and hack and slash games but the learning process in the fighting genre just doesn't feel rewarding for me and I end up finding it pointless since the only objective is competing with people online.

Fighting games but it's really just because I'm fucking bad.

Everything about this.

Attached: boxart-large.png (264x241, 132K)

it's basically a rpg for people who are tired of spoonfeeding, the only rpg in over 20 years who isn't doing spoonfeeding.

There is nothing in these two posts proving the first one's point. Here's your (You).

Transistor.
It's got fucking KINO art direction and music, but I dropped the game at the start of chapter 2.

Relying on the [Turn] system so often during combat made the battles boring. Not to mention that mapping out my plan of attack didn't work the way I thought it was going to go ie: line up enemies for a line attack during [Turn] and after confirming it misses a few because they can still move (even though it's slow-mo) out of the way.

It would've also been nice to have little demonstration gifs of the combining attack chips instead of accessing a terminal, equiping the chip, then finally testing it out in the open to see what it looks like. I feel like the game would've worked better as a tactical turn-based instead of a semi-turn based RTS.

Red a cute.

Any "real-time with pause" RPG.

I wouldn't say I hate Dwarf Fortress, I just don't have the level of autism to get good at it.
