Dang, I wish you had played the second one first. Still might not be your thing, but it was a much better story and much better gameplay.

I'm completely the other way. Loved the first one and can't get to grips with RDR2. There's too much stuff to do and not enough riding around gunning down bad guys

One of the things that make me feel in alone in the RDR's world is that you can't interact with any NPC properly, like you does in Fallout 3 or Skyrim. The only times you talk with NPCs is in cinnematics, and is not like you can choose multiple options to interact. In RDR are the NPCs the ones who interact with you by challenging you to a duel, looking for help, ambusshing you, etc. I'm not aware, but I can bet that it's the same in RDR2.

Megaton Rainfall. The game billed itself as having you fly around like a demigod stopping an alien invasion. I bought it like 2 years after release, hyped as all hell. The unskippable intro is boooooooooooring and takes way too long. Time to blast some aliens! Only they end up as some sort of fucking puzzle, where each one has to be beaten the correct way. To make matters worse, you have to avoid destruction at all costs, if too much civilian infrastructure gets blown up, you fail the mission. Of all the (limited) powers you unlock, exactly one can protect civilians, and it fucking sucks.
The trailer looks so technically impressive. That is a LOT of destructive environment. Sad if it's not so good though.
Exactly, the trailer does a hell of a job of selling the game. It completely hides how you're supposed to avoid destruction. How the hell the devs didn't think of adding a free "fucking around" mode, or villain mode (which is the top mod for the game) is truly baffling
Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The final smashes are all the same. I miss the final smashes of Super Smash Bros Brawl.

Strike vector. Liked the switching from flight to hover in combat. Bought it, 2 months later the servers shut down and strike vector 2 was announced for some console no one probably cares about now.

Elden Ring... I'm sorry I just didn't enjoy It even after beating a few bosses
Robocraft 2. I loved the original, but they messed up its monetization really bad over time, when a sequel got announced i was expecting the game to return to its roots with a rewrite. Instead, it felt more of a downgrade compared to the original.

Nier: Automata and Outer Wilds both lost me with their absurdly boring opening sequences.

Ys 1 & 2. I love the Ys games. But I really only play VI through X. There are remakes of some of the other older ones for the PSP and Vita, I have played through those, too. They are very well done, IMO. But I cannot get into the first two. The mechanics are just too weird. I have the remastered for the DS, I am going to give it a try again, but I'm pretty sure it is largely just visual changes and I am still going to hate it.
Red Dead Redemption 2. I played partway through, then ran into that quest where Arthur was supposed to meet one of his party members in Blackwater, but it just kept spawning bounty hunters and I gave up after dying like ten times and not finding this guy.
