recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

Lol, I've put 120 hrs into TotK and I love it, and still haven't finished all the side quests or shrines. I can't get my wife to play past the tutorial, she's disappointed that it doesn't foster creativity like Garry's mod

ToTK I havent played, but persona 5 even with its weird moments I enjoyed. It made me root for the characters, not for everyone ig.

I totally agree with BotW. So many people seem to love it, but it's just lots of empty land, boring/non-existent characters/story. It's just empty and there are no real pointers where to go.

Also, Zelda without dungeons doesn't feel right at all, and the shrines aren't a suitable replacement.

All those Telltale episodic games, like The wolf among us and The Walking Dead. It's so boring and slow that it makes me both extremely mad and uncomfortable.

Hollow Knight. On the exploration side I didn't like the way the map works. On the combat side it just felt... weird? Like, it's not really clunky, but I just couldn't vibe with it. Beautiful game though, "100 and something. "-percented it just for the aesthetic. But I will probably never replay it; wasn't worth the time I spent with it.

Do not care for open world crafting games. Minecraft, Day Z, fuck even the new Zelda looks to have some kind of crafting system. That just feels like endless fucking grinding to me.

Breath of the wild, I hated it, thought it was the worst Zelda I've ever played. Just didn't feel like a Zelda to me.

Destiny...friend tried to up sell the mmo aspect of it, because I am a long time WoW player. But I find it in both mmo and shooter aspects quite lacking for me.

Disagree, but won’t kill you don’t worry.

Personally, I don’t see much appeal in online fps games.

Maybe not quite the spirit of the question but: Endwalker killed FFXIV for me.

Played the game a ton from ARR to Shadowbringers, but can't bring myself to even log in any more. The house I've had for seven years will be demolished later this week and I don't even care.

I know people loved the story but I hated it. Job design, job balance and encounter design are in terrible states. Patches are taking longer. The new content they added for this expansion has been bland and uninteresting.

Uncharted 1. A lot of people told me that I have to play the uncharted games, they’re groundbreaking. I can understand that the early games were ahead of their time when they released, but they aged badly. The physics, the story, the gameplay - everything feels just like trash.

If you don’t have any nostalgic memories of the game and you play it for the first time today, you’ll think it sucks.

Borderlands

I apparently hate looter shooters. I loved the art style, tone, and everything else about the game, but I just really didn't like the gameplay. I bailed on it in like 20 minutes.

In fact, I don't like loot in general. I also don't really like Diablo, and I dislike managing loot in most RPGs (esp. Elder Scrolls games). I care very little about what items I have in games.

stares with disagreement

Lol it's cool, we don't all have to agree. I'm curious, what are some games you do like?

Just about any highly acclaimed cinematic games that take away control from the player via cutscenes or by completely lacking fail states thereby bringing the game to a halt until you press the one button they want you to for the illusion of engagement.
