How about that game I really liked but couldn't get into?

Stronghold. I remember watching my big bro play it for hours every day and talking about strategies with him. Then when he was at school I'd try to imitate them on easy and I still got rekd.

Deus Ex. I swear to god I've reinstalled that game at least 5 times yet I can't bring myself to go past the first few levels.

>>253351678
LoL and whatever my friends play. Too bad they have different tastes than me.

>>253351678

DOTA/ASSFAGGOTS in general.

Way too much time to invest in them. Games take too long. Community is terrible. Have no friends in general so the best part is squandered.

Gameplay looks complex and potentially fun but there are just too many drawbacks for me to give a fuck.

Europa Universalis IV

Friends play it all the time, but shit is just too boring and slightly too complex to be relaxing to play for me.

>>253352002

When Dear Esther came out everyone was raving about what an incredible emotional journey it was, saying "it's more than a game, it's an experience" (actual quote from a review from one of my steam friends at the time)

I geared up for something life-changing but instead got the gaming equivalent of standing in a museum for 45 minutes staring at a blank canvas while several guys whisper "too deep for you" in your ear the whole time

Transistor

Any nintendo game, from the SNES up to the Wii U. I enjoy a few SNES RPGs, but anything else, no. In particular Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong Country, and Smash. I play for a while, humor my friends that like it, then I always end up saying to myself, "this shit is made to keep little kids busy and is incredibly simple, why am I still playing it?", I even realized that when I was really young. I'm convinced a lot of nintendo fans confuse color and innocence for fun. The only nintendo games I like are Metroid and Mario Kart, and the former is dead and the latter is the same game repackaged since the gamecube days and is only fun with friends.

I have wanted to get that off my chest for so fucking long. I have absolutely no idea why /v/ has such a boner for nintendo,

Kind of this for me. When I was unemployed for quite a while I played the fuck out of it and had some good forts going.

With a job and shit I don't have time for that. However, anon, you should try to get into Adventure Mode. It doesn't take much to learn and you get to enjoy all the crazy shit that Dorf Fort can provide in small amounts of time. Just as fun.

I read books too, I don't get pissy because people like low tier books/ I'm just happy they enjoy reading.

The witcher 1, I hated the combat and thought it was pretty sloppy

>>253353287
For me the Witchers have been the type of game that's boring the first time you play it, but if you try it out once more on a rainy day you'll most likely end up beating it in one sitting.

Morrowind.

I just couldn't. I couldn't fucking invest myself in that world. I got to Vivec and gave up like an hour later. There was just nothing in the gameplay or the game's universe for me to give a fuck about.

>>253351678
Nier. I'm sorry, it's just total shit. The gameplay is awful, and the story isn't enough to carry itself unless you're completely alienated from other mediums like film and literature.

Dragon Age Origins

I don't hate it or think it's legit bad, but for some reason I was just so unbelievably bored by it, like I couldn't play for ten minutes without losing all possible interest. It's never happened with any other game, and it's a shame since I had the most fun role-playing in it than any other game.

There's no VAC in the game. The fact that you worry about it in the first place makes me think you're a dirty cheater. I agree that Soul Memory is a broken mechanic too but limited respawns is just a preference and not a big issue if you git gud.

>>253353452
I get that, I'd never say that nintendo games are bad because I recognize they are well designed and I'm not the target demo anymore, but when people say shit like "ONLY NINTENDO MAKES FUN GAMES", it fucking infuriates me. There are so many other developers that make games like nintendo and do it so much better, yet nintendo gets a free card just because they're nintendo. They don't deserve to have survived past the 90s, but that's just my opinion.

Fallout 3, I bought it on a steam sale thinking it was an immersive atmosphere heavy game, kind of like the STALKER games.
NOPE.
The movement was like controlling a robot, the animations were god damned terrible, walk cycles in particular, the way every NPC would never break eye contact, and melle was like fighting with nerf bats on roller blades.

I wanted to like this game so much but I just couldn't.

Monster Tale

Demons' Souls. It's a good game, and seems like something I should like. I just wasn't having fun with it though. I kept wishing I was playing a King's Field or Shadow Tower game instead.

Skyrim. I see my fiance play it as literally the only game they'll play and tried it myself, and yeah, it's cool and all but I am just nowhere near as engrossed as both she and my best friend seem to be.

Witcher 2

All i heard was praise for that game so i bought it on a sale. It was okay, but it was a became kind of a chore to finish. The characters, story, setting, voice acting and combat was all pretty boring in my personal and most humblest of opinions. And sitting through 20 seconds of wait time to open a menu, drink some elixirs, wait for the animation and close the menu again got tedious real quick.

maybe witcher 3 will be more interesting.

I never got very far in the game i think I have maybe 2 hours in it total.

>>253354969
The real kick in the balls was that I had recently completed STALKER SoC with AMk on veteran, and I was hungry for something similar.

dark souls, darksiders, deus ex.

I loved the atmosphere, but after a few hours, i just couldn't 'feel it' still.

Pokemon X/Y

It was just.. nothing.

Like the whole game is just so easy and mindless. You dont need to use any of those items that you find at all.

And holy fuck THE TALKING. The characters never shut the fuck up and someone was always around the corner to say "OH HEY ANON FANCY SEEING YOU HERE! WANT SOME NON SUBTLE HINT ON WHERE TO OBVIOUSLY GO NEXT?"

>>253355507
I really want to like CK2, but I never got anything interesting to happen so I kinda feel something is wrong and stop playing.
At least EUIV is more warfare based so I have a clear clue what I should be doing, but in CK2 I feel completely lost on what I should be doing.
Every time I boot I play it for about an hour without having a clue what to do and I quit.
Maybe I'm just too used to capture land by sword and guns whereas CK2 is supposedly based on inheritance or something.

>>253355368
My problem with Planescape Torment, was in my expectations. I own every manual of AD&D Planescape and I love Diterlizzi's art. So then I buy the game expecting it to look like that art (stupid I know). What I got looked so sterile in comparison to the original art from the books.
That was a real turn-off right there.
Tried to play the game regardless, but I just couldn't get in to it now that my precious expectations hadn't been met.
Morale of the story: don't expect shit.

It's trash man, I don't know how anybody likes this shit.

>>253355205
it boils down to if you can tolerate the combat system. It's good and bad at the same time.
Geralt controls snappy enough but when you can only hit a guy one or two times before rolling away to avoid being one shot by some other guy, it gets to be a pain in the balls

>>253356460
Op here. I feel the same about the Witcher games. I feel like they have potential but whatever ideas the devs had just aren't executed that well.

Just a warning, it is fucking miserable at first. The tutorials are shit, they're tedious, and they're prone to just fucking breaking and ceasing to work at all. But once you actually figure out what you're doing, it's amazing.

Hate fighting games, difficulty of input is something they actually appreciate, that kind of retarded shit would never fly in another genre, imagine if you were playing an FPS and one gun was overpowered but it's ok because it requires 3 full circles + shoot + throw grenade + Melee to fire.

It was exactly what somebody said, a game about nothing. You go out, find shit, do some typical rpg quests, alchemizew stuff and that's it. Yes I read the reviews and watched the few threads that people make

It has some decent characters but the problems is that the game's too slow for me. This comes from a guy who played Minecraft for 12 hours a day

It's a console. It does its job. What do you want?

If you mean the library specifically, then it just doesn't have a killer app for you personally yet. Should have waited/you should wait before you buy one if so.

any zelda game aside from lttp, and the souls series. i love monster hunter to death but when i bought demon souls it just left a bad taste in my mouth

Oh man, just like, all fighting games in general. I guess thats cuz whenever i wanted to play my asshole friend like pwnd all of us cuz he knew how to play

The first fallout.

I really tried to like it.

it wasn't 2hard4me, it was too tedious. the best thing Dark Souls does is teach the player how to play the game, and rewards them for learning. DaS2 shits all over that in an effort to make the game seem more difficult

Dark Souls. Great combat and atmosphere. Absolutely crushing difficulty. I last played 2-3 weeks ago and I'm stuck on this boss. Will probably never finish this game.

>>253356915
>It just feels like a shitty tales game
the first one? yeah it pretty much is your not missing anything. the rest of the series is pretty solid I feel.

>>253351965
I think Warband is fun, but it just gets old incredibly fast. When I bought it I played it for about 10 hours that first day, but since then I've only ever been able to play it in like 30 minute increments.

>>253363892
well im assuming that you spent a lot of time learning frames and animations. that's not necessarily a bad thing

Tales of Symphonia 2.

Really love tales of but this game.... please just kill me.

>>253364206

You're probably 1/50th through the game, maybe less.
You have no idea what that game is truly like if you think the bell gargoyles are tough. You seriously suck at games and pattern recognition if you can't even beat those things.

Wouldn't say that. I got through the game in about 20 hours on my first run and only had to retry only a few bosses.
For some fucking reason I had problems with Lost Sinner on my first playthrough and in NG+ where she had helpers I breezed through her.

>>253353115
I played fifty hours and beat my first Brachydios before I realized "I'm going to have to grind a fucking ton to get anything I really want in this game."

So then I quit.

>>253364206
Just grind a little and make yourself reach an attack level where it only takes 8 or so hits to kill the beast, it doesn't take that long to reach that level. I recommend using the halberd since it's really powerful for its speed and length. Also having a light crossbow on your left hand is useful, shoot at the gargoyle when there is only 1 left and it is standing still breathing fire.

Fucking Demon Gaze. I like the gameplay, but the annoying and shallow characters just get in the way too much. I just can't bring myself to like the game, or understand all the hype around it. But this is just my opinion.

Skullgirls, but not due to the difficulty. It just didn't feel right.

Which is really sad, it had a lot of factors that made me think I would love the shit outta it.

The Witcher 1 and 2. The atmosphere is just so flat and dull.

I really wanted to like it too because I heard it was basically A Song of Fire and Ice.

I tried so hard to like FPS just to fit in with my friends, but I hate them. They're not fun for me. And I hate how that was pretty much the only thing they ever wanted to talk about or play. Anytime a group wants to talk about games, it's mainly about FPS. Want to play games? FPS.

Even now, I mostly play by myself, and there's always one friend that tries to get me to do co-op with them, but I get bored really quick.

BlazBlue.

I love Guilty Gear. I like fighting games, I like heavy metal, and I like animu, but I just couldn't get into it the way I could with GG; it didn't have the same charm.
I decided to give it a break and come back to it later, for the sake of a fair judgment, but by then it was already on BlazBlue CS:GO Super Calamity Fighting Arcade Edition 3.2 and I just said "fuck it."

Tager will always be my bro though.

I really like the combat and it looks great for an mmo but having such an unsociable player base kinda ruins it for me.

Maybe i should make a character on the pvp server so people have an incentive not to travel alone.

Just skip to the second and see if you like that one better.

The Tom Clancy series, but only because I don't know how to play them.

I want to get into the series but I'm not sure what to do so far, I just found out for the PC port you use the mousewheel to go faster.

Civ 5. Even if I figured out what was going on, I don't think I could ever have fun with it.

>>253365939
I'm a M&B fanatic but thats pretty crazy

Skyrim

Civilization V.

It feels like no matter what I do it doesn't matter in the long run.

I really like VC and SA, but for some reason IV and V were boring as fuck.

>>253353712
I had a friend who never shut up about how amazing it was. I tried it one time and I had that same feel of being bored after ten minutes. I think it was the combat for me. I can't deal with just missing over and over. I might pick it up again some other time just to give it another shot though.

What's the appeal?

I mean I enjoyed the backstory segments and the stats but then the game really felt like it had clunky combat.

Is it the forming of armies that makes it fun? is the combat better for every weapon but swords? Is it the sandbox?

Warband, everyone on /v/ acts like this game is the second coming of Jesus.
The combat feels really clunky, especially after playing games like War of the Roses, War of the Vikings, and Chivalry. The game has a lot of major flaws that were immediately apparent to me and require lots of modding to fix.

>>253366825
Yeah, but if you really can't get past the first game, then just say fuck it and move on. You won't miss as much as you would if you never played either.

>>253366563
Haven't tried it, I think I'll give it a shot.

>>253366972
I see your point, thanks Anon.

>>253364206
>crushing difficulty
I've played this game so much I can barely remember the tens of hours of frustration and fuckups from when I first started. Nowadays I can just run through the entire thing in 6 hours without dying. It really just comes down to putting enough time into the game until it clicks for you. I started and restarted this game probably about 8 times over a two-year period before I actually discovered how to play the damn thing properly, but it was definitely worth it. Keep at it, you'll have the time of your life once you get into it.

Seriously, what the fuck were Capcom thinking with those bland descriptions? And no tutorials either, just a stiff npc to punch in a white training room.

The reason it's from 5/20/13 is because a patch they released broke a ton of mods and I had to download the older version and just used it instead of the Steam version.

Honestly this game is the best $2.50 I've ever spent. It's just a really fun sandbox game.

Nuts and Bolts

Metroid Prime. Loved Super, and enjoyed Prime as well but I just suck so bad at first-person games that I gave up after the Gravity Suit.

Hotel dusk. Liked the style but it's just not that good.

I had more fun playing Doritos crash course 2 than trying to get into most AAA titles that have come out recently.

GTA and FF. I just can't.

>>253368778
I agree. Finished both of them and was satisfied in the end. But they aren't enjoyable playing until you finish it.

The sequels plot was so cluttered I didn't know who did what most of the time.

>>253368448
Usually when I play I pick a class, and backstory and go with that. Bandits who pick off weak village off villagers or caravans I like Kherjit Horse Archer. I really like the Freelancer mod though and go Swadian Knight, too bad these faggots are constantly feasting.

SSB Brawl.

I gave the game a honest 4-5 months, couldn't find a main, lost interest in playing after I unlocked all unlockables. Plus the multiplayer was a fucking shitty mess where everything felt like a pillow fight. The game itself was so nerfed coming from SSb64, and Melee, that it just felt unplayable for me. I dont personally see the appeal in it.

Oh and dont even get me started on the online community, much less the online itself. Fucking absolutely horrible. I can see why the tourneyfags complain. Any problem with the engine/physics that the game has offline, is exacerbated online with how delayed everything is.

in b4 I get called tourneyfag for not circlejerking what is legitimately the worst game in the series and a stain on nintendo's game craftsmanship. The game is legitimately bad from all angles, casual, tournament, regular, with or without items. It's a poorly crafted piece of shit.

The Witcher
-Way to kill your game CDPR with the shittiest combat known to man. Apparently there's a mod that fixes it but god fucking damn it.
Skyrim
-Played it for 20 hours, got bored around the 10 hour mark and only showed the pretty to faggots in class using my y580 for the last 10. Apparently mods fix this mess of a game but fuck that shit, check this retarded shit out:

200 fucking plus mods to fix a game? Fuck that shit.
I hate to sound like a scrub but I fucking love Oblvion, I played it during a spite where my internet was down for 2 weeks and this game kept my attention. The Oblivion gates were creepy as fuck, hated the leveling though.
Deus Ex: HR
-Really liked it but I got bored near the end for some reason and never finished it, not sure if that counts.
Dota2
-What a boring fucking game, I'll never understand how people sperg out about this shit.

>Picking up some kind of submachine gun
>Narrator says "Make sure to reload your clips"

Well, Arma 2 is really meant to be played with a good group and someone that knows how to write missions. Otherwise its boring shit. DayZ is just plain boring and there's no fixing that mess. No ACRE makes the game a shit show to play too.
