Almost all of them. The only real thing that I played with pure joy was Minecraft, Cities Skylines, Planet Coaster and Sims series. I think its pretty clear what games do I like.

Anything with story/ending I find them unbearably boring and tedious. I'll play Cities Skylines for hours though.

Anything Bethesda sadly. I want to like them, something about the control and movement is just so janky it’s not fun.

[–] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 1 points 40 minutes ago (1 children)

I thought Fallout 4 was okay but I agree Bethesda clunk is hard to get used to

[–] ScumbagSpruce@lemmy.world 1 points 38 minutes ago (1 children)

I find the games very appealing. I would love to love New Vegas but every time I try it just feels… off.

[–] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 30 minutes ago

I always thought it was because they tried for an "anatomical" perspective and it never worked. Like I think the goal was supposed to be you could look down at your own character model but it was never really inplimented, leaving a janky forward and back motion to the vertical tilt. It's just enough to make some people a little motion sick.

Bioshock. I tried the first game and liked the story and atmosphere, but got bored of the gameplay every time I've tried it

Monster Hunter, Persona, Dark Souls, Witcher.

I did get a good 30-40hrs out of Elden ring but felt I saw what I needed to from the genre and moved on.

[–] selflock@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Witcher. I tried. The series was great though.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

I've tried 2 and 3 and just can't really get into it. Story wise I see what people like, but everything seems a bit more clunky than it should be and it's just more frustrating than enjoyable.

[–] arararagi@ani.social 1 points 5 hours ago

Basically any SRPG but if I had to choose one I would say Fire Emblem; this gente always leaves me bored with how long combat takes.

Though I am powering through, on easy, in Hundred Line Last Defense Academy because the story is that good.

Capitalism: I refuse to develop my sociopathy to the level required to participate.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Victoria 2 scratches the itch pretty well for me.

[–] philpo@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours ago

Come on,the second game was decent!

[–] Crampi@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago

Final fantasy or any jrpg really

Soooooooo long and boring

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Any of the big popular RPG series. I got through Mass Effect 2 (it was on offer for a quid) but have no desire to go back, and I know that’s one of the more action-based games. I also played Witcher 3 up to Skellig but just can’t bring myself to finish it.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

Tried Minecraft multiple times. Can't stand the game. Weird part is that I absolutely love both Terraria and Vintage Story.

I found a huge surface vein of olivine in a peridotite cliff face earlier while searching for bauxite, only to realize that I was about 50 blocks to the east of the Resonance Archives entrance, which my world put in a damn near inaccessible valley between K2 and Everest.

If I can find some bauxite I have a ton of iron to make some steel and between that and my huge harvest of flax and honey, I will have honey sulfur poltices, and the eidolon should be a cakewalk.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

All of them.

About 10 years ago, I was playing BioShock. It was fun, but I kept losing interest. Which was weird, because it was pretty much a game that was made for me - a pretty deep plot, a cool adventurous aesthetic, exploring and discovering different places on the map. I realized I was getting distracted thinking about all the other things I wanted to do - hanging out with my friends, figuring out how to talk to girls, studying so I could get good grades and a good job, learning all about things that interested me, going backpacking and rock climbing - and so I finished the game out of habit, and then set down the controller and didn't pick it back up for a while.

My last game was Red Dead Redemption, which I blasted through in a marathon play-through while spending a month crashing my sister's couch between semesters. My sleep schedule got all fucked, I ate like shit, and I felt like shit. Once I got to the end of the game, I packed up my XBox and put it in a box box. The next semester I sold it to get money to buy climbing gear.

Now I just do the Wordle.

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Thanks for sharing your story. It's interesting to hear about the feelings you had and the choices you made. Hope the climbing has been a blast!

[–] Hobo@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

At least you chose a fantastic game to go out on. RDR2 is like one of the most amazing games ever produced! I still go back to it when I run out of stuff to play despite beating the ever living hell out of it.

[–] GalacticTaterTot@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Fallout. I like the premise and I'll watch other people play it, but I just cannot get into the mechanics of that franchise. Something about VATS is just not enjoyable to me.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

I made it fairly far through 4 without vats and playing in third person. It just feels so much more tedious than Skyrim without anything more to show for it.

Same with Pokémon. I'm not a big fan of most turn based games, but that franchise especially never spoke to me.

I have a friend who buys every new Pokémon game they bring out. Same him playing one a while back, and I was like, that's it? They can get super big now? That's the new thing? To me it's like FIFA, same game different characters.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago

Same with me. Can't get into Pokémon. Love the show though. Same with zelda...super boring.
