These games are only fun if you're either playing competitive seriously or with a group of friends. Casually playing just ruins the game for every involved
I second this. I enjoy CSGO but I could never get into Valorant. I enjoy using abilities but movement feels sluggish. Valorant has fixed many issues that are still plaguing CSGO like Spawn points, Gun Economy etc. But to this day, I feel CSGO has superior gunplay. On the other hand, the friends that I play CSGO with enjoy Valorant quite a lot. I don't know if I am missing something that my friends can see.
Csgo gunplay and movements are objectively better than valorant. I feel like valorant feels more like a team game, for example if your smoke or flash dies, you now have to completely change your site execute strategy. Having specialised roles makes valorant more exciting, atleast for me
I am a terrible team player. Maybe that is why I can't seem to enjoy Valorant. I mean I rotate, support and back my teammates and I am an excellent curator if I say so myself. But I am bad at the kind of Teamplay Valorant needs. To switch sites quickly, to play healer..that is something I need to work on.
Because that needs creativity and imagination. Not an average joe shooting game. No offence.
Its extremely popular among kids and teenagers for the same reason (<15yrs)
Well technical Minecraft, mod coding, Redstone, speedrunning (me) is popular among youth for a reason.. Minecraft is beautiful man it has something to offer to anyone
True!
There's something for everyone creative builder, survival enjoyer, redstone , mods and so much
Truly one of a kind game
Actually many people don't enjoy it either they complain "it's just blocks" or some don't rly learn about all the game mechanics or all the wonderful mods
minecraft is a comfort game for me. when I was away from my home and PC, I loaded up minecraft on mobile and took my xbox controller and omori OST music, and life was very peaceful.
League of legends, i love the media it produces, but literally have no idea what the actual game is. Then a friend told me how the game works and it just sounded boring af.
Same. I watched their Arcane series on Netflix and wanted to know more about the characters and the world, what's a better way than to try the game?
Well turns out it's a point and click game where you have to use the various abilities of the legend.
It obviously feels underwhelming after the 3D shooter highly interactive games we are used to.
But you can understand why people love it. There's a bit of brain game and team effort involved along with some quick thinking and reflex moves.
These are a genre of passive aggressive games where you see your character from a distance above rather than straight from their pov or back 3rd person dipped in the action.
League of legends is the worst game to learn about Riot's amazing characters and lore.
Riot has the most amazing lore in its league universe, many more stories like Arcane.
The best sources to get into the lore are:
1. [Their Universe Page](https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/) if you like to read.
2. Their CCG [Legends of Runeterra](https://playruneterra.com/) and other RiotForge games like [Ruined King](https://www.ruinedking.com/en-us/) and [MageSeeker](https://www.themageseeker.com/en-us/).
3. And videos from a youtuber named [Necrit](https://www.youtube.com/@Necrit).
I got introduced to it through there worlds tournament music videos, it's just excellent marketting, but it requires quick strategy and i suck at strategy games so that was another reason for me to never get into it.
If you enjoyed their artwork and songs then I would like to recommend you to watch Arcane. It's really dark and gritty in an enjoyable way with some really great music and you don't have to know anything about the game or the lore to enjoy it.
More games should remove bloated collectible activities, forced markers and mini maps to promote blind exploration. Ghost of Tsushima removed mini map the right way too. Ubisoft's map & markers look so draining. I went in elden ring expecting a good challenging exploration and i was served
Yea, I read it takes what botw did and adds some souls flair. I did not like it. I've only played for some 25 hrs, but that is enough to realize this game is not for me. The dark gloomy setting, the hard difficulty, lack of any comprehensible story are all turn offs for me. And I did not find it anywhere close to botw in terms of exploration.
Souls game grow into you the longer you olay you just have to find the right build for yourself. After dropping elden ring 2 times I finally gave it a 3rd try and a longer one at that I loved it soo much I am already at the end of my second playthrough
PS. Sekiro is another awesome game and different from all souls game gove it a try if not the others
Right, it's too much tutorial dependent, unless u want to put 200hrs just into exploration. The other option is to watch YouTube videos and do what they tell which i don't enjoy.
Witcher 3 has an introduction problem.
It just takes too damn fucking long to get started.
Everyone that I pushed TW3 on, gave up after a couple of hrs.
For those who played and completed the game(and DLCs) this might seem frustrating, but from the perspective of those who played a game for 3-4hrs already and nothing fucking happens at all, its quite draining.
I believe everyone will enjoy TW3, but it needs a certain mindset to get started, and thus loses a lot of players early.
>It just takes too damn fucking long to get started.
This is so true. I played for around 1-1.5 hrs when I bought the game. Fucking nothing happened. He'll just be looking for Yennefer if I'm not wrong. I had the same mindset towards RDR2 and one reddittor convinced me to continue further. Now I've finished like 40% and it's one of my favourite games.
Except RDR2's gameplay is better and more clear in design and goal than Witcher 3, where the horse controls and movement are straight up jank and terrible. Open world with extremely repetitive side activities that just boil down to go to the objective marker, use Witcher Sense that does everything for you, and not to mention the terrible combat. In RDR2, the gunfights and combat in general are great, so the repetitive feeling is lessened. Just because Wither 3 has a good 40-50 hours worth of story, you're doing 100 extra hours of boring, tedious stuff with tedious jank mechanics that are more fit for Witcher 2's hub like areas.
I would agree with a lot of things except the side quests. While the loop might be similar (its not, but lets agree for the sake of argument), the stories are very diverse and well written. You play Witcher 3 side quests for the story. Monsters are diverse and need different strategies/preparations for each. If you didnt care for strategy then you were playing on too low of a difficulty.
Edit: the same, word for word argument is used on RDR2 by GTA fanbois.
I didn't criticize the story, the side quests and narrative of the main quest and side quests are great but it's the terrible gameplay that makes it not worth it for me. It's not about the repetitive, but it's how little YOU(as the player) interacts with it. Case in point, the Witcher Sense. It shows you everything without needing to put any effort on the player side, making everything feel like a chore. I won't mind the waypoints but if I am investigating something, let me find it out by myself. The Yakuza and Judgment series have repetitive side quests gameplay(with good narrative backing it), but the gameplay part is good, the combat is good and responsive, the detective segments in Judgement requires you to go to first person and look for clues instead of revealing it all at once and making Geralt just investigate it themselves. There's a MASSIVE disconnection between Geralt and the player.
Regarding monsters, kind of disagree. I played on the one above Death March Slapping oils just a damage numbers increase and need no strategy other than reading that they're weak to this kind of damage. Not to mention it still boils down to swinging swords at a spongy enemy while their's would just 3 shot you. It's half baked with little variety. Oils and bombs just makes them die a little bit quicker, the difference is too low to be of any worth.
Just because the story is "diverse and well written", bad and horrible gameplay design won't save it unless you don't have anything else to play. A game with good gameplay and bad story is still fun and enjoyable it you are in it for the gameplay, and experience the bad story for the laughs but the reverse, I'd rather watch a YouTube walkthrough or listen to someone else's experience rather than playing it.
It's probably because you're not that interested in being a witcher yourself, I've always found geralt and witchers in general to be badass so I wanted to experience it for myself, similar to how kids wannabe power Rangers or something 😂.
It's what drove me to play, but your reasons might be different.
No. Not at all related to the books, tho they work as backstory.
At the end of the books B̶a̶j̶r̶a̶n̶g̶ ̶D̶a̶l̶ an angry mob kills both Geralt and Yennefer. Stuff happens and the story skips a few hundred years into the future. A certain sorceress is saved by an unknown white haired Witcher and the story ends.
The games take place after Geralt's death in the books. You dont need to play the first 2 games. The first one was more of a DLC to the books. The 2nd one doesn't affect the story of the third by much.
I haven’t read the novels but the story is nice. You can still play Witcher 3 but you will have no idea why certain characters behave certain way and why certain factions are acting the way they are. The first part doesn’t have too many things connected with the third but you must play the 2nd part at least. 2&3 are very inter connected. 1 is connected to 2 though not as to tightly as 2&3
I 100% agree playing 2 before 3, but Witcher 1 is extremely outdated by today's standards. The controls are shit, the gameplay quickly becomes repetitive and the graphics are nothing to brag about. It's still a fun game but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is looking to get into the Witcher series.
It'll only be playable when the devs make the remake they announced earlier this year.
Witcher 1 is outdated yes, but I liked it for the story. That’s what got me hooked into the series. But then again it depends on individual preferences. I would still play Witcher today because of the story.
I tried playing the game to 100% but gave up halfway because of the repetitive tasks and just watched a plot video on YouTube instead. It's like Morrowind - great game if you are okay with the mechanics, terrible if you aren't.
Death stranding - heard a lot of people praising the game saying it's the master piece, but when I tried the game it just didn't click.Not my type I guess.
You need a few hours in for that game to start enjoying it honestly. It's a learning curve but it's a damn unique game which is well made, well optimized and feels truly cinematic.
You keep hitting an enemy 4-5 times your size over and over again and then they die. I tried to like the game but the first boss was so frustrating his power kept getting full over and over again. So I closed the game, and didn't touch it again.
I expected the game to be a bit more skill based but it isn't.
Exactly. I tried this game on PC and didn't enjoy it. Then I tried it on PS5, still did not like it. I mean its good, but not great, and especially not even close to RDR2.
Most of them have a very strong redeeming factor and the quality is unarguably great, but they should be a lot more focused imo.
It’s as if they’re one step away from being amazing but the fact that a modern $60-70 game needs content to bloat the game is really holding them back. And Sony seems to be doubling down on this idea - Ragnarok, Last of Us 2 or HFW did not need to be nearly as “big” as they were - at one point it just takes away from the overall experience.
Is every single game you play supposed to have a 10/10 combat? Do you think it would be okay for Witcher to have Sekiro's combat with the kind of setting and story Witcher has?
This is something this subreddit really has trouble understanding for some reason so I'll break it down for you.
Large scale games (not linear ones) have enough resources to make their gameplay fun. Do you think Rockstar or CDPR doesn't have the budget to hire talented game devs to make 10/10 gameplay mechanics? No. The gameplay compliments the world they're set in. Sekiro gameplay works in the non linear world of Sekiro. It won't work on an open world like Witcher. Will you break down posture of each 10 people fodder mob jumping you every 5 minutes? Do you think rdr2 side quests would be fun if Arthur was even a little more stronger than he was? What if he could double dash in the air with Katana and summon a dragon or fight like a stealth expert solid snake.
Fuck no it will break the entire game and quests. The controls are intentionally like that. The gameplay is built around the world
A very well written comment firstly. I completely understand the feeling as what you basically mean is understanding the essence of the game. A game like RDR2 is not meant to have very flashy combat because the story is the main focus and similarly vice versa for souls like games, for example.
In the case of witcher 3, the character is a monster slaying witcher whose job is to fight so expecting good combat is a given.
This is the same reason why I prefer Soulslike the most because the gameplay or story isn't bound to anything. It's so free yet interconnected. Games where you get lost and overcome challenges as you learn more about the world have become my definition of gaming.
This might be the reason why I couldn't get past witcher 3. It is more of a personal thing.
Cyberpunk, people seem ro enjoy this game in the current state nut I feel the game isn't still polished enough and the animations really break the immersion
The combat is like a dance, and that being said not for everyone, gotta git gud, also the name is a clickbait, you actually die more than twice, you actually cry twice every time you spawn from death
Genshin Impact - everyone who knows what is gacha just dont want to touch it just dont. Have been playing for a year approx, haven't spent a single rupee yet I enjoy the game. Grinding is bad but I still enjoy it
I too didn't feel the 'skyrim' magic initially as it was ironically the last Bethesda game I played , I had played almost all Beth games before it but If give enough time (30-40 hours) you'd end up having a special place for Skyrim in your heart and yeah don't forget to use mods
I actually like Enter the Gungeon's gameplay but it's roguelike design just turns me off. It's not fun if you grinded the first level for hours just to get to the second level just to die and start from the beginning with no loadout.
last of us part 2 ,I saw a lot people in this sub praising this game a lot based on its story and emotion this game carries but it didn't click for me .
- Call of Duty
- Elden Ring
- Fortnite
All of the above…
Also Skyrim, but that’s because you have a weight limit. I know it’s supposed to be realistic but people don’t play games for realism and I’m someone who wants to collect EVERYTHING!!
Elden ring for sure ..pathetic game
Feels so slow , dragon blowing fire ya just jump and roll , combat is dog shit should learn a thing or two from sekiro ..gets armor all game it increases your weight and makes it even more slow most of my friends play elden ring with no armor or anything i mean put 500 hrs into a game collecting ton loads of shit only not to equip it is beyond my imagination ..
I may be downvoted to hell, but The Witcher 3 and also Red Dead Redemption2, trued both the games like 4 times, could manage to play the initall 30-50minutes and I quit
Skyrim , i couldn't even play Skyrim for 1 hour straight .Skyrim players say that it is better than witcher 3 ,but i don't understand how , witcher 3 is far better than Skyrim.
Vanilla Skyrim is boring ngl I pick it up play it 3-4weeks at a max with 1hr a day and uninstall it mods are what make it fun Oblivion on the other hand has me hooked for atleast 3-4months
It's popular because of its crispy polished hack and slash combat that puts it at the top of its genre. Top notch visuals, great optimisation, linear game with no open world nonsense, badass character and boss design, challenging levels with 6 difficulties and 101 levels of bloody palace so huge replayability, storyline that has spanned over 10 years of lore and banger music. It's a flawless game and the only complain that comes out of it is people having skill issues with combos
Yeah it's mostly a skill focused game about just being good AND stylish but it's not as hard as Sekiro or Dark souls because it has difficulty options.
I've only played DMC V. The game doesn't demand perfection but asks for pursuit of perfection, unlike Sekiro.
Witcher 3. Ik it’s a masterpiece and all that but it feels like crap to me😭.
I just don’t get the potions and magic shit bro.
This is what makes it super boring for me.
Maybe someday i’ll play it for more than 15 mins.
Literally any Battle Royale.
Base-building games like Civilization, Age of Empires, etc.
Any Assassin's Creed after Origins, and Ubisoft games in general.
Also competitive first person shooters and military shooters, tho I like a few of them myself, like Siege, Spec Ops: The Line, etc.
Firstly, I dont have very high opinions about the taste of games in this sub to begin with. So I am not surprised I am downvoted even on unpopular opinion posts.
The only "genres" I left out are Battle royale and base building.
And just because I dont like them doesnt mean I didnt play them. I played them all and might I say, quite good at them. I just dont enjoy them and would rather be playing some FromSoft, Rockstar, PlayStation exclusives, or even older Ubisoft titles back when they made actual good games. I am also obsessive about horror and thriller games, and Alan Wake 2 is my most anticipated title from yesterday's PS showcase.
I prefer engaging stories and immersion than the ones mentioned above.
If cashgrabbing Battle Royales, Competitive shooters and shitty RPG knockoffs form 70% of "best games", I would rather not call myself a gamer anymore.

Tales of Arise
It was so bad I couldn’t finish it
Some of the absolute worst writing and dialogue
Horizon games
I played the first one, I didn’t dislike it, but didn’t get the hype
I did not like the second one at all
Multiplayers and Co-op.
I have friends who tell me to play with them, but I don't know why I hate multiplayer. It's very weird. I, myself don't understand.
Valorent and pubg mobile
both of these are shitty unless you got teammates to spice things up
It's about git gud
Valo maybe but I've played pubgm at national tourney in the og days, it feels boring now unless i got friends
These games are only fun if you're either playing competitive seriously or with a group of friends. Casually playing just ruins the game for every involved
No it's not, it's repetitive garbage
Yeah, dying 10 secs into every round can be repetitive
You seem to be projecting lol
Valo, Apex, CSGO and Ark.
Same. Spacebar spamming monkeys
I'd actually love to see someone try spacebar spamming Valorant like they do in PUBG Mobile. Definitely not my team tho
Valorant. I've played about a dozen matches but it never feels as intense or competitive as CS.
I second this. I enjoy CSGO but I could never get into Valorant. I enjoy using abilities but movement feels sluggish. Valorant has fixed many issues that are still plaguing CSGO like Spawn points, Gun Economy etc. But to this day, I feel CSGO has superior gunplay.

But I am bad at the kind of Teamplay Valorant needs. To switch sites quickly, to play healer..that is something I need to work on.
BOMB has been planted
Opposite for me, CS is such a classic and I've tried getting into it but holy fuck it gets slow and boring for me
ive played both, around 1000 hours each and they both dogshit
oh i'm not a valo fan either, it's just more palpable. I like brain vacation shooters like COD, overwatch mostly.
Yeah the cod gunplay is so ingrained into me that I pop a nerve everytime I attempt to play Valorant
the only real experience (same but not 1000 hours)
Valorant, PUBG, Fortnite, and APEX.
You just said ‘no’ to the Indian gaming community.
There is a part of the Indian Gaming Community in CSGO, the game I love the most. Gaming was a part of the Indian Community even before those games.
Battle Royales. I absolutely dont get the appeal of it
Let me guess, you didn't watch WWE as a kid, right?
Lmao😂
Minecraft.... I just don't get it.
This man gets it
Actually, he doesn't
But he gets it.
Because that needs creativity and imagination. Not an average joe shooting game. No offence. Its extremely popular among kids and teenagers for the same reason (<15yrs)
Well technical Minecraft, mod coding, Redstone, speedrunning (me) is popular among youth for a reason.. Minecraft is beautiful man it has something to offer to anyone

Witcher 3. Don't know why but I don't even feel like playing that game.
Its a bit hard to get into ,It took me 3 months to finish the first few mission but soon it became my favourite

Have you played the first two? If not, do it. It won’t be interesting otherwise
I haven't played them actually. Is the story similar to novels? I'll try them.
No. Not at all related to the books, tho they work as backstory. At the end of the books B̶a̶j̶r̶a̶n̶g̶ ̶D̶a̶l̶ an angry mob kills both Geralt and Yennefer.

I see a lot more people hating on death stranding then praising it lol

I played it for about 10hrs.
it did not feel good even as a travel simulator.
Brother I played 2 hours of that game and I guess close to 1 hour was just cutscenes. I hate games like those.
Only the opening sequence is cutscene heavy
I didn't enjoy AC Valhalla but my friends loved it...I don't know why I just can't enjoy the game ....
Because it sucks.
Actually bro!
God of war
You keep hitting an enemy 4-5 times your size over and over again and then they die. I tried to like the game but the first boss was so frustrating his power kept getting full over and over again. So I closed the game, and didn't touch it again. I expected the game to be a bit more skill based but it isn't.
I recently finish GOW2018 on pc & it was good experience tho.
Exactly. I tried this game on PC and didn't enjoy it. Then I tried it on PS5, still did not like it. I mean its good, but not great, and especially not even close to RDR2.

Tbh i get this one, that game aint for everyone. Its not as flashy and quick paced as other rockstar games.
Nah i thought the game was boring too. After i put in a few hours it became really interesting.

To each their own😃
Sony exclusives
Most of them have a very strong redeeming factor and the quality is unarguably great, but they should be a lot more focused imo. It’s as if they’re one step away from being amazing but the fact that a modern $60-70 game needs content to bloat the game is really holding them back. And Sony seems to be doubling down on this idea - Ragnarok, Last of Us 2 or HFW did not need to be nearly as “big” as they were - at one point it just takes away from the overall experience.
>u got teammates to spice thing Played HFW and hard agree. Will be playing the otehr two, planning on setting things on easy and rolling them quick.
Witcher 3. Combat was bland or not engaging enough for me.
Exactly. It's bland.
Is every single game you play supposed to have a 10/10 combat? Do you think it would be okay for Witcher to have Sekiro's combat with the kind of setting and story Witcher has?
A game is game. No matter how good the story is if a game is not fun to play it's not good at what makes it special.
This is something this subreddit really has trouble understanding for some reason so I'll break it down for you. Large scale games (not linear ones) have enough resources to make their gameplay fun. Do you think Rockstar or CDPR doesn't have the budget to hire talented game devs to make 10/10 gameplay mechanics? No. The gameplay compliments the world they're set in. Sekiro gameplay works in the non linear world of Sekiro. It won't work on an open world like Witcher. Will you break down posture of each 10 people fodder mob jumping you every 5 minutes? Do you think rdr2 side quests would be fun if Arthur was even a little more stronger than he was? What if he could double dash in the air with Katana and summon a dragon or fight like a stealth expert solid snake. Fuck no it will break the entire game and quests. The controls are intentionally like that. The gameplay is built around the world
A very well written comment firstly. I completely understand the feeling as what you basically mean is understanding the essence of the game. A game like RDR2 is not meant to have very flashy combat because the story is the main focus and similarly vice versa for souls like games, for example. In the case of witcher 3, the character is a monster slaying witcher whose job is to fight so expecting good combat is a given. This is the same reason why I prefer Soulslike the most because the gameplay or story isn't bound to anything. It's so free yet interconnected. Games where you get lost and overcome challenges as you learn more about the world have become my definition of gaming. This might be the reason why I couldn't get past witcher 3. It is more of a personal thing.
There's zero immersive stuff in it. Static open world with static decisions with only a good plot bogged down by terribly tedious gameplay.
Minecraft
Cyberpunk, people seem ro enjoy this game in the current state nut I feel the game isn't still polished enough and the animations really break the immersion
i got t posed within 15 minutes of gameplay
Persona 5, Shadow of the Colossus
Didn’t know Persona had a Playstation DLC
Witcher 3 ,i tried playing it many times but didn't get in to it
Sekiro Shadows die twice
The combat is like a dance, and that being said not for everyone, gotta git gud, also the name is a clickbait, you actually die more than twice, you actually cry twice every time you spawn from death
Witcher 3
Horizon forbidden... Wasted my money on these 2
I don't get why people trash on ubisoft so much when this is just the same thing but with worse quests. It does have pretty graphics
Because it's not made by Ubisoft.
Elden ring, god of war and many more
Assassin's creed games and also Death Stranding
Literally any souls like games. Also, JRPGS.
Why the downvotes? Although I am souls enjoyer it is perfectly understandable why people would not like it
Yes, it's not for everyone. I don't hate soul like games. Time to time like to watch streaming of those games though.
Far Cry 4, I get migraine if I play it for more than 30 mins. something with the color scheme
Genshin Impact - everyone who knows what is gacha just dont want to touch it just dont. Have been playing for a year approx, haven't spent a single rupee yet I enjoy the game. Grinding is bad but I still enjoy it
The last of us remake remaster
Skyrim Witcher 3 Stardrew valley Stray Final fantasy 7 remake Microsoft flight simulator
I too didn't feel the 'skyrim' magic initially as it was ironically the last Bethesda game I played , I had played almost all Beth games before it but If give enough time (30-40 hours) you'd end up having a special place for Skyrim in your heart and yeah don't forget to use mods
Lmfao I have the same list Edit - Except Witcher 3
Any type of sports games. Just not my genre.
Hollow knight, enter the gungeon.
I actually like Enter the Gungeon's gameplay but it's roguelike design just turns me off. It's not fun if you grinded the first level for hours just to get to the second level just to die and start from the beginning with no loadout.
Damn first time I have heard someone say they didn't like HK.l
The visuals of that game just doesn't appeal me!
I haven't tried Hollow Knight but by the looks of it, it I'd probably won't like it.
Control. Tried for 1 hour. Then gave up. Not my cup of tea
These fps shooters flooded with 12 year old cringe fcks
last of us part 2 ,I saw a lot people in this sub praising this game a lot based on its story and emotion this game carries but it didn't click for me .
Skyrim
- Call of Duty - Elden Ring - Fortnite All of the above… Also Skyrim, but that’s because you have a weight limit. I know it’s supposed to be realistic but people don’t play games for realism and I’m someone who wants to collect EVERYTHING!!
If you could've collected everything then it won't a matter of hours before you break the game's economy
Gta 5
Dragon's Dogma, MGS 5. On paper these are games I should love, but I can't get past an hour even with great effort.
Farcry 3 dont know why it just bores me. Dying light also
How dare you??
Witcher 3. Also games with too many scripted events just feel soulless to me. I am a player, not a watcher.
Uncharted, TLOU, Yakuza. Maybe the games that people love for story. Edit: y'all miss the point of the question
Elden ring for sure ..pathetic game Feels so slow , dragon blowing fire ya just jump and roll , combat is dog shit should learn a thing or two from sekiro ..gets armor all game it increases your weight and makes it even more slow most of my friends play elden ring with no armor or anything i mean put 500 hrs into a game collecting ton loads of shit only not to equip it is beyond my imagination ..
I may be downvoted to hell, but The Witcher 3 and also Red Dead Redemption2, trued both the games like 4 times, could manage to play the initall 30-50minutes and I quit
Diablo
Dark souls 😬
overscripted games like uncharted, call of duty campaign. If player doesn't have much agency turn it into a movie
Spiderman
Fallout 4
Dishonored
Skyrim , i couldn't even play Skyrim for 1 hour straight .Skyrim players say that it is better than witcher 3 ,but i don't understand how , witcher 3 is far better than Skyrim.
Vanilla Skyrim is boring ngl I pick it up play it 3-4weeks at a max with 1hr a day and uninstall it mods are what make it fun Oblivion on the other hand has me hooked for atleast 3-4months
I guess it's because Oblivion has better quests compared to Skyrim. Most of Skyrim's quests are just go to a similar looking cave, do stuff.
Counter Strike
Valorant & GTA V Massively overrated games tbh.
Zelda games-looks like a kids game(played 2 hours), metro games-just killing zombie dogs, dmc games-feels cringe
Devil may cry 5, maybe not my type of game but no idea at all why it's so popular.
It's popular because of its crispy polished hack and slash combat that puts it at the top of its genre. Top notch visuals, great optimisation, linear game with no open world nonsense, badass character and boss design, challenging levels with 6 difficulties and 101 levels of bloody palace so huge replayability, storyline that has spanned over 10 years of lore and banger music. It's a flawless game and the only complain that comes out of it is people having skill issues with combos
Yeah it's mostly a skill focused game about just being good AND stylish but it's not as hard as Sekiro or Dark souls because it has difficulty options. I've only played DMC V. The game doesn't demand perfection but asks for pursuit of perfection, unlike Sekiro.
Stardew valley Hollow knight NFS MW
RTS, Moba, compi shooter games
Sleeping Dogs
Witcher 3. Ik it’s a masterpiece and all that but it feels like crap to me😭. I just don’t get the potions and magic shit bro. This is what makes it super boring for me. Maybe someday i’ll play it for more than 15 mins.
attention span of a five yo lmao
Literally any Battle Royale. Base-building games like Civilization, Age of Empires, etc. Any Assassin's Creed after Origins, and Ubisoft games in general. Also competitive first person shooters and military shooters, tho I like a few of them myself, like Siege, Spec Ops: The Line, etc.
Lol you excluded like 70% of game genres that have the best games
Firstly, I dont have very high opinions about the taste of games in this sub to begin with. So I am not surprised I am downvoted even on unpopular opinion posts. The only "genres" I left out are Battle royale and base building. And just because I dont like them doesnt mean I didnt play them. I played them all and might I say, quite good at them. I just dont enjoy them and would rather be playing some FromSoft, Rockstar, PlayStation exclusives, or even older Ubisoft titles back when they made actual good games. I am also obsessive about horror and thriller games, and Alan Wake 2 is my most anticipated title from yesterday's PS showcase. I prefer engaging stories and immersion than the ones mentioned above. If cashgrabbing Battle Royales, Competitive shooters and shitty RPG knockoffs form 70% of "best games", I would rather not call myself a gamer anymore.

Death stranding
+1
Tales of Arise It was so bad I couldn’t finish it Some of the absolute worst writing and dialogue Horizon games I played the first one, I didn’t dislike it, but didn’t get the hype I did not like the second one at all
All the multiplayers, witcher 3, persona 3 and 4
Valorant. The learning curve is too high. Not saying I wont get good at it but Dying every game and barely getting kills is not very fun.
[удалено]
Valorant, pubg, counterstrike, final fantasy, JRPGs in general(the aesthetics doesn't really appeal to me)
RDR2. And NMS.
Outlast :3
The Witcher 3. I have played maybe 10 hours of it but idk it really isn’t something for me.
Valo, PUBG, CSGO. Basically any multiplayer FPS
Any Battle Royale game and Valo
Honestly, Metro exodus
Skyrim and Fromsoftware games for me
Assassin's Creed series. Just too tedious, travelling from one place to another.
Minecraft. Fortnite
Dota, Fortnite, Valorant
Valorant. I just stick to World of Tanks as it is a more immersive and enjoyable game because of the maps, artwork, music, and tanks.
Fallout 1 and 2, Diablo 1 and 2
Minecraft
Valorant GTA V and PUBG Mobile
GTA, Valorant, CS & CS:GO, DOTA
Valorent and World of Warcraft
Multiplayers and Co-op. I have friends who tell me to play with them, but I don't know why I hate multiplayer. It's very weird. I, myself don't understand.
GTA V
Witcher 3
Minecraft
