It seems like all of the answers are "I personally didn't enjoy this game therefore I can not conceive of anyone else enjoying it."

I find that interesting.

How else would you interpret OP's question?

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Something that is popular (or sells well) despite having no apparent appeal to anyone the commenter can think of.

I don't enjoy Bloodborne. I think I can figure out why there is a lot of hype for it.

While I'd interpret it this way, too, "can't understand the hype of" usually translates to simply "dislike", but with a stronger emphasis on invalidating the opinions of the people who do like it.
