Divinity: Original Sin 2

Played it through twice. Mile wide, inch deep, and on invisible rails. Iinsane tonal shifts, overly convoluted story in an attempt to hide how dumb it is, characters abruptly talking completely out of character, nonsensical (and bugged) initiative system, multiple completely non-functional and absolutely useless mechanics (crafting in particular). Plus an XP system designed with such mind-numbing ineptitude that it's actually possible to softlock your game by leveling wrong, which they fixed by adding infinite respecs. Complete waste of massive potential.

I can't leave negative reviews anymore. I once was mad enough at a game that I left a six or seven paragraph review. I had loved the artwork, really liked the concept, and then the game was just... so annoying. I had to go back and edit the review after a day because I couldn't imagine the creator (it was a one person game) reading some parts. I think if I had made a game and read what I wrote, I would cry. Especially because the game seemed to be a way for the creator to deal with some of his life's trauma. Now I just click the thumbs down and move on.

Given the "Games as a service" model a lot of gaming has shifted to nowadays, this could be totally valid criticism of so many games to come. Like, say they shut the servers down or insisted they wouldn't patch a wormable and actively abused exploit but didn't remove the game from the store or even discount it... (looking at you, Activision/CoD)

Rainbow 6 Siege. I fucking hate that game, but you play for that one magical round where everything comes together

What game were you putting 86 hours into in 1989, despite thinking it sucks?

The games out in '89 were simple enough, you'd know they sucked within a couple hours, and then stop.

Dragon's Dogma 2.

I loved the first one. But the second one had all the same problems the first had, plus more, plus a stupid story that ends in the most unsatisfying way (even getting the true ending). I don't know why it was as well received as it was, even though it did get slammed for the ending and performance issues, I've never heard anything negative about the rest of it. The only good thing I can say about it is the medusa and sphinx stuff was fun. Everything else was annoying as fuck.

15th of April 1989? The Hillsborough Disaster?

I LOST THE GAME

Games I don't play but from second hand experience csgo, wow, tarkov

Oaken Tower.

Currently only a demo.

Makes me wish everyone who plays it has their monitors explode on them.

To quote my Steam review of it:

I used to think the death penalty was cruel... then I started playing the demo for this game.

It's another reminder why I avoid autobattlers

CS:GO

Neon Abyss, 20 hours overall, 15 at the time of review.
