I was gonna say overrated, but I think for me a lot of games I feel like this about, I get the appeal for others but there's just something for me that is missing or detracts from it.

 

The biggest one for me is The Last Of Us. Controversial but f*** me could it be more boring? I get that it's about the story and emotional punch it brings but good lord, I cannot be bothered with hours of completely slow and tedious game play to get to it, it just bored me absolutely to death. A game like Uncharted 4 has great story that drives everything you do and really crafts the characters but it doesn't sacrifice gameplay. The survival elements of crafting and stuff is done way better in the Tomb Raider reboot and to bring up Uncharted again as a fellow Naughty Dog game, they do the combat better. I know that is more action and The Last Of Us is a more atmospheric and horror focused game but still, anything about the gameplay I can find tonnes of games I feel did it better and for me gameplay is everything and i can't overlook it for any amount of story. I totally get the appeal for others who are immersed in it and I can't say it's overrated as such (although I can't fathom how people can't find it at least a bit boring) but for me it's just utter tedium.

 

Yooka Laylee is another, possibly the most disappointing game of modern times for me. 3D platformers are my absolute fave games that got me into gaming but it was just so average after I was so excited and hyped to play it :( I know it was a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie (with some of the team even on board) and a homage to old 3D platformers but it came out as somewhat of a pastiche. They didn't need to bring the clunky camera controls to 2017 either :kink: It had all the colour, variety and vibrancy of an old 3D platformer but something felt so cold and hollow, I didn't have much motivation to go and collect everything, I just did enough to "complete" it as in finish the story.

I'm just gonna say it: League Of Legends.

 

Like there are some parts that remind me of Starcraft and that's pretty cool but I just find it way too stressful and confusing and it also reminds me of World Of Warcraft which I never liked either. The fact that it's overrated to hell doesn't even help matters either.

Skrim, The Last of Us, Call of Duty, FIFA, basically most popular games :lol: i generally will play anytihng but those ones just bore me. Especially Skyrim.

Basically the Total War games Empire onwards but especially Rome 2. It fixes the problems I had with the initial one by calling the factions by their own names (i.e. Arverni/Aedui instead of 'Gaul' and cities by their own names instead of the slightly endearing but completely wrong Domus Dulcis Domus for the ENTIRE BALTIC in the original) and does other things to improve historical accuracy and immersion, has tons more factions, has many mini campaigns dedicated to the glory of Rome, as someone who adores classical history and has the original game as one of my favourites of all time and a game I still play regularly, I should love Rome 2.

 

But I just cannot enjoy the battles, they're dull and seem devoid of the tactical skill you had to put in to win evenly matched battles on the original, and everything's a lot less responsive. Oh the game runs fine, the soldiers just don't respond how I'd like (their reactions are so smooth and crisp in the original). And on top of it all, the cities don't feel like real cities as you can't build everything you had money for like in the original, you're now arbitrarily restricted to a few buildings of each 'type' and that's just really dull (plus the interface has somehow REGRESSED in style, rather than the indicative pictures there are now symbols representing the buildings, which takes more immersion away than puts it in). Especially as half the cities are smaller cities within a province that are fated to always be inferior cities. It's just a big lesson in how not to add strategic depth and make your game look awful compared to the decade-older first game.

Oh yeah I really don't like Skyrim either. My best friend has it on seemingly everything and has tried to get me into it so many times, based on me liking other action RPGs but I just can't see anything in it at all. He keeps telling me it's like Zelda except in a medieval setting, but it's hardly that just because it's the same genre :lol: He gets frustrated that I love say Zelda, Fallout and Final Fantasy XV but can't take to Skyrim, but I keep trying it, on different platforms also, but just can't. Howling at them still porting it to every console going lmao

Those Forza racing games or any popular ones. I feel I should like them because of I quite like games with a racing element but it's just eh for me. It needs something quite fun like say Hit and Run, GTA or not sure if anyone knows this game, Midtown Madness.

My beef with Skyrim (and I do like it, I've played it more than most other RPGs I have) is that the combat is just a bit basic and you get so much reward for stealth - it's brilliant playing as a Khajit stealth archer but when I want to be a fabulous Breton conjure/destruction mage I run into so many problems and I've had to resist taking stealth upgrades.

 

Also the quests are a bit generic but that's probably par for the course given my limited experience with RPGs. It's been a while, I'd like them to be making an Elder Scrolls VI that can improve on what Skyrim has rather than continuing to port it and making me feel bad for not having the prettier looking Special Edition.

Agree with this too actually, I don't mind Ridge Racer which feels more arcade and Gran Turismo which did it first so much better but when it has racing I prefer if it's just all out silly kart racer like Mario Kart where you can really have fun, rather than just driving around a course for a bit.

 

The Bard's Tale (2004) : Not funny jokes and my least favourite ending from all RPG.

 

 

 

I don't think there are any games out there that I don't like. Maybe the Halo franchise at a push, but that's only because I wasn't very good at it. :lol:
