Ask Lemmy

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.

Baldur's Gate, Elder Scrolls and Divinity series all spring to mind. I really want to like those games, but the story just progress way too slow.

I loved Planescape: Torment though.

RDR2. Played, but didn’t beat the first one. Some other game pulled me away from it. Tried the sequel and was disappointed by the gunplay.

Anything Bethesda sadly. I want to like them, something about the control and movement is just so janky it’s not fun.

All of them.

About 10 years ago, I was playing BioShock. It was fun, but I kept losing interest. Which was weird, because it was pretty much a game that was made for me - a pretty deep plot, a cool adventurous aesthetic, exploring and discovering different places on the map. I realized I was getting distracted thinking about all the other things I wanted to do - hanging out with my friends, figuring out how to talk to girls, studying so I could get good grades and a good job, learning all about things that interested me, going backpacking and rock climbing - and so I finished the game out of habit, and then set down the controller and didn't pick it back up for a while.

My last game was Red Dead Redemption, which I blasted through in a marathon play-through while spending a month crashing my sister's couch between semesters. My sleep schedule got all fucked, I ate like shit, and I felt like shit. Once I got to the end of the game, I packed up my XBox and put it in a box box. The next semester I sold it to get money to buy climbing gear.

Now I just do the Wordle.

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.

Final Fantasy. JRPGs just aren't my thing

I think I/we were too old to get into pokemon. I tried 3 games, and got bored about 4 fights in. I'm sure back when that was the peak of gaming, it was amazing. But now after modern games, turn based gameplay is just not for me too

Final Fantasy, it's too grindy for me.

Walking simulators
Something like outer wilds should be fine but i get easily annoyed from just running around
Even that i know that in some cases its very fast running around or something

Outer Worlds. The premise was so great. A criticism of restrictive hyper capitalism in space? With an art Nouveau flair? Made by people who made Fallout? Sounded right up my alley!

But it just sucks! The intro is trying to be like Rick and Morty, you don't personally have to deal with any restriction from the capitalistic society (hell at least BioShock threw in pay toilets once in a while) and the story just didn't get me at all. You're just kind of there. You don't feel like you're rebelling against the system or indulging it, you just are an observer. You don't feel like an oppressed worker you feel more like a documentary crew. But even then it doesn't really feel like the situation is really bad. And there isn't really any tutorial to speak of. Sure, if you have played games a lot you know pretty much how everything works, but the mechanics are just dumped in your lap.

I'm just some schmuck on the Internet and I could've written a way better start to this game that lets you actually feel something.

When a fan made rap video makes you feel more of the alleged theme than the actual game does, then you've kinda screwed up.

I tried factorio a while ago but couldn't get into it.

Pokemon, TCGs in general, Fallout, Darksouls and the related things

Grand Theft Auto

The whole concept is profoundly uninteresting to me

And I feel there is a fundamental tension between the enjoyable part of the games (Over-the-top city chaos with lots of explosions, often aided by cheats) and what the games WANT to be (serious crime dramas I think?)

Terraria

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.
