Nintendo.

Dark Souls games. They're clunky and glitchy. The setting and atmosphere seem great, but I find the games to be a chore to play.

Low effort shitposting.

Pokemon
I love jrpgs, but I think Pokemon is just straight up garbage.

JRPG's I want to like them, but everytime I play one it's a god damn snorefest.

JRPG
Seriously, I just can't fucking stand the anime weeb shit that is going on in those games
I'm to much of a casual

sucking cock

The Witcher, is just not good

Pretty much every single Nintendo game

Dark Souls. I gave the game a fair shot but I ended up only liking 1 or 2 levels while the rest of the game was utterly boring.

The Witcher 2,3, PoE and Crysis are all trash games.

Bloodborne, I tried playing that and dark souls 3 but I just don't like souls games, whenever I say this the souls fags respond with git gud but the difficulty isn't the problem

I wish I could enjoy all these boring games like Pillars of Eternity, but /v/ legitimately has such weird tastes when it comes to WRPGs. The game is boring, easy, repetitive and boring, I can't believe people here shill it like crazy for some reason.
They must really be desperate for any new game.

>>390130652

This. Why the fuck is every one so fucking melodramatic in these games? I swear everyone has some sobstory bullshit or something that I'm supposed to care about.

Dragon's Dogma. Love the combat, but everything else is just awful. The story is non existent, the world is barren and uninteresting, the missions are badly designed and the game itself is too slow. I'm about 10-20 hours in and mustering through it, but I don't think it will ever become good.

Shame.

The Dragon fight/post-game and Bitterblack Isle are pretty great to play through. You're right that the base game is boring as shit, I love the game to death and I can't really say much in defense of the early parts.

>>390130383
monster hunter tried tri and 4u got to end game stuff just the thrill dies off as it becomes mostly repetition and stress. Will probably buy another one though if they change the formula at all.

anything Mario/Sonic/Kirby/Rayman related I'm into super realistic games but they're just too far out there.

>>390131140
I really don't get people griping about this the only boring as fuck part I remember is that long as retarded trek to the castle the griffon flees to. If you stay on the roads and don't get all adhd about fighting every goblin, bandit or wolf you see it's a relatively brief game.

>>390131028
You mean Men(female)?

>>390131407
Its the fact you're largely fighting 1 of 3 boss models, or being harassed by trash mobs.they don't even try and make it exciting until the post game- it opens with 2 escort quests. Also the way damage and damage reduction works is just silly and rewards stats over skill.

Dragon's Dogma and New Vegas are both unplayable shit.

the giant and chimera is are fairly short encounters you don't have to seek out everyone of them most of them are easy to avoid.
>being harassed by trash mobs
almost every game has trash mobs and bosses it's why we call them trash mobs and bosses
>they don't even try and make it exciting
I thought it was exciting when there was that siege on that goblin keep, the whole cultist thing, and witchwood stuff was pretty exciting that's like half the main quests right there
>Also the way damage and damage reduction works is just silly and rewards stats over skill.
that's probably the most common element of rpgs

>>390131131
DD is that one weird game that gets better after you beat it. It's biggest mistake is the open world, which they do away with in the Everfall and BBI.

>>390132404
>that's probably the most common element of rpgs

Not him but the issue is that the game is pretending to be an action RPG when none of your actions in combat matter, it just comes down to the numbers
When leveling up once doubles your damage in an action game something is wrong

>>390130383

I started to hate everything that /v/ likes, but only in an ironic way

>>390132453
I beat the main game twice and the single player un-dragon, thought I was ready for BBI but I was still severally under leveled.
Did not feel like grinding just so I could experience the good part of the game.

>>390130383

La Mulana. I don't know why, I just literally can't get into the game in spite of my love of Metroidvania.

>>390132610
I was a good ways into BBI before I even beat the main game. There's no way you'd be under-leveled after beating the game twice.

>>390130383
Reddit

>>390132404
The cultists thing was entirely retarded due to the cutscenes where you behaved like a motionless retard as the cult leader hobbles away after saying some stupid shit about bringing about the endtimes. The siege could have been exciting, but it falls into that trope of having an 'army' that consists of 6 dudes that do 0 damage. my complaint about the boss monsters wasn't that they were too frequent, its that they were the exact same encounters every time and once you're leveled enough they become as trivial as trash mobs, again thanks to how damage reduction works.

>>390132723
Or he just had garbage weapons, which is a very real possibility. BBI is 90% a gear check, or you're forced to spam periapts which most players don't even know about, let alone how absurdly broken they are.

The Tales series is only popular here because of Symphonia nostalgia and waifu autism. The combat is just finding a good ability then button mashing it to death, the plots take forever to go anywhere and the worlds are barren and ugly. Bargain bin series.

Also Dragon Quest doesn't do anything for me since the appeal of the series is that it is a generic, basic JRPG with nice character designs.

>>390130383

Bloodborne.

I've been playing Souls games since Demon Souls came out in Europe. Now they just feel fucking stale and Bloodborne is the stalest.

>>390132496
>When leveling up once doubles your damage in an action game something is wrong
it doesn't your gains in DD are linear between 10-100. It's almost half gear half stats even for mages. They matter in terms of you and your pawns surviving or not. You don't have take 100 levels of assassin to enjoy the game or do enough damage to make most encounters easy. When I played I changed class every 10 levels and beat the game (including the postgame) at level 60. You can use strategy and the appropriate elements it make it through the game at much lower levels.

>>390132496
How you fight matters, the problem is the sweet spot between being too weak and too powerful can easily be lost depending on how you've progressed. That's why in the end I was running around in weak, skimpy outfits. Definitely not because I made a loli arisen or anything.

>>390130383

>>390132830
>my complaint about the boss monsters wasn't that they were too frequent, its that they were the exact same encounters
the "raid" encounters are just random enemies out in the world they're not really bosses and are optional
>once you're leveled enough they become as trivial as trash mobs, again thanks to how damage reduction works
what is your issue with the damage reduction I'm not sure I understand what you're saying in this context?

Dig Dug, I just don't see the appeal

>>390133246
this

>>390133264
when you hit things it either does negligible damage or incredible damage since its a base reduction rather than a % reduction.

new vegas.
I bought the super mega hyper all dlc included special edition when it was $10 on steam and spent well over my 2 hour refund period trying to get "essential" mods to work properly. so I tried playing it, now with all mods installed.

god damn was it not good. I felt the writing was what Joss Whedon took his script inspiration from, and I hate Whedon's scripts. writing; the one thing NVfags tote around as their flagship feature that Toddthesda games don't have, and they fucking soiled it.

not to mention it looked like ass without a decent ENB and Reshade, and I despise having to install those for any game. the textures were shit, and mods only made them tolerable. the physics were jank and worse than the worst Oblivion had to offer imo. that Easy Pete guy just came off as a total fuck, and I genuinely don't understand his cult following; along with a majority of the named NPCs. free F4 mods did NPCs better than a company with money, and that's fucking F4, which is pretty bad.

it was overall just a shitty and tedious experience, and it's the last time I'm letting /v/ try to sell me on a game.

Another anon already mentioned BBI but I really want to stress the point, it sucks that you're not a fan of the main structure but BBI is pure combat through a huge dungeon. You can access it from the beginning by going to the pier in the starting village but it's initially way beyond your capability, once you reach lvl 40 or so you should be able to make a decent run at it.

>>390135203
I liked it at first but eventually grew to not liking it, mostly because you basically needed to practice against some bosses to understand and remember their attacks. I can see why people like this but when I come home after a long day at work I just wanna get some progression and not have to play for longer than I should doing the same thing. Again I didn't find it too difficult, but don't claim to be the best player. Sometimes it just feels like bullshit against some bosses or enemies.
But probably most of all and this isn't a fault of the game, just my preference, is the overall gloomy, lonely and somewhat boring atmosphere and tone. All the friendlies just feel like depressed signposts who don't add much flavour. All this is just personal preference though, I can see why someone likes ds

>>390135680
DS being hard is a big meme. It's certainly harder than some other games but it's not impossible with practice. And to some people you just don't have the time to sit and play for that long

I played with a spear my first go so most of it was just learn, poke, guard repeat. It's mentally exhausting when you're trying to balance so many things like stamina consumption, footing, how many strikes you can get in an opening, how many attacks you can afford to take if any. But yeah thematically the world is just dark I feel like it's why soliare is probably the most iconic das character because he's such a sunny and bright guy in this otherwise dreary and doomed world. I feel like you'd probably hate silent hill for similar reasons you just whittle away doors and options until the only way to go is the way you dread most and it's all the worse because you the player have to make him go there. Or monster hunter because you do the same sort of boss matador act for going on 20 minutes. They're not relaxing games.
>>390135895
oh yeah because we're not comparing it to other games or anything. It's a hard game you're suppose to struggle with it. It difficulty is part of it's oppressive theme as well mechanically present (such as blood stains and the world being positively littered with bodies of failed adventurers)

Prime 2 and I guess by extension the rest of the Primes. I just can't comprehend when people say MP2 is the best in the franchise, or even that they prefer the Prime games. I've finished both 1 and 3 and I mean they were okay but the combat is just such a bore, I end up just walking past 90% of encounters. Every time I try 2 though I get to Torvus and just get tired of the combat and the dark side gimmick.

they are for the most part "fair" if you use your eyes and really examine the environment as you proceed you'll see the signs of a trap. There will be bodies, blood stains, messages,and all manner of other environmental suggestions. The game almost counts on the player not being fair to it though. They know you're going to use a bow to pull mobs out of a group so you can have an easier time. They know you're going to get the biggest hunk of metal you can swing or shield yourself with. That's sort of the thing about it you can be a dick to the game because it rewards you for playing smart the same it rewards your for being "honorable magic and bows are for fags I'm a straight sword only medium shield knight "

>>390138796
I'm more talking about atrocious hitboxes, ambushing ganking enemies, bosses that one shot you with massive attacks you had no way of knowing would be so damn massive, enemies like that dragonslayer bow fag in anor londo, everything about pvp, and certain areas that kill you without anywhere near enough of a warning. For example, there's no way anyone avoided getting toasted by that drake on the bridge the first time they played. It being a little burnt does not tell you a giant ass lizard is going to descend upon your ass from behind you in the sky the moment you walk out on it.

Zelda. It just feels like the same basic puzzles/combat every single game without ever trying anything new; even the most "unique" game in the series is just a generic half-assed open world piece of shit.
That, and the lore doesn't seem interesting at all, and this is coming from a faggot who actually likes lore in games. It's always just:
>Some blonde kid happens to be named Link every generation
>He's born in time to stop Ganondorf from capturing The Princess™ and ruling Hyrule/the world/etc.
>And so he does

>>Disgaea, just seems so slow, but I have only played the first game

I've only played Disgaea 1 and 2 myself, but Disgaea 2 does have a bunch of stuff to speed things up. All cutscenes are skippable in 2, you can turn attack animations off (Also an option in the PSP and PC ports of Disgaea 1), and there's also options to speed up character movement speed, and the speed of Geo panels changing.

>the anor londo archers
that's probably the one real dick move the game pulls on you besides the Duke's Archives thing.
I don't think the hitboxes are particularly bad at least not for pve. Online it gets iffy on ps3 because freeonline so 3rd worlders. The whole dead-angles stuff is really higher tier pvp stuff. They give you so many iframes on rolls getting caught by the last invisible inch of sword it's paltry grievance considering most of the enemies can't roll hyperarmor themselves. There's not many ambushes except in the sewer with the meat cleaver guys and the man eating chests which all probably have messages in front of them . I think you can actually see it flying around at some point before albeit rather briefly. Again the messages and bloodstains they are resources the game gives you to literally learn from other people's mistakes. They want you use them.

One thing I never got was people's addictions to posting bait and trying hard to get (You)s. I've always posted sincerely, because I feel that if everyone's just spouting disingenuous bullshit jut to make each other angry, then that would make /v/ entirely pointless.

>>390139921
That's the thing; the gameplay never changes. It's always the same puzzles, with minor variations, with substandard action game sword/bow combat you can get from literally any other fantasy action game.

Also, mods are almost mandatory which is a turn off for me aswell

>>390139768
I don't really know what you seem to want from it. Yeah, most games in a franchise have similar gameplay or structure to each other, it's kind of what makes it a franchise. Even then Zelda has had numerous gimmicks to shake things up; sometimes he has a boat, sometimes he has a train, sometimes he can go through time, sometimes it's 3D. And to say that it's just the same puzzles over again every time I think is just wrong. The generic half-assed open world piece of shit's puzzles were almost entirely physics based and geared around 4 abilities, 3 of which aren't in any other Zelda game, which is pretty drastically different to the Water Temple's puzzles from OoT, for instance.

Like the other anon said, if you don't like the structure of puzzle/explore/combat then it's just not for you.

I've been strictly Sony and Nintendo my whole life but I could never get into MGS. What's the appeal?

Me too Anon

I just don't see the appeal at all, I can't imagine anything more generic and boring than being Mario and collecting all the coins
A motion control multiplayer shooter where you just shoot on the floor? I would rather kill myself
Fucking kart racers?

Maybe I just didn't grow up with this stuff but I just don't see any appeal at all, I guess people just like the Mario character because he reminds them of being young and then they go play shit like Mario Party or Mario Tennis or watch Mario jump on the mushrooms

How do you have video games as a hobby to the point that you play a lot of them and go "yeah I really want to play some Mario and Sonic at the Olympics right now", how the fuck does that happen?
It's like Modern Warfare 3 tier of what's the most generic and mind numbingly boring thing you can come up with

Don't misunderstand. I loved DaS. I beat it several times. I'm just saying.

Have you ever actually played a Mario game? Or any platformer for that matter? It honestly just sounds to me like you don't understand how successfully running and jumping in a platformer can be as challenging and rewarding as shooting targets in an FPS for instance.

RTSes, witcher series, any fucking turn based RPG

Modern pc gaming and "loot shooters" for lack of word.

Haven't you heard the news? /v/ hates videogames for a long time now if it even liked videogames to begin with. That's why this board is still active. Do you believe that anyone on hear had something to say if they were busy playing and loving games?
