High scoring games you didn't like

Did you play all 3?

Do you like any MOBA games?

I agree with you a little on the first one. I've played the first two witcher games and i didn't really like either of them. I haven't tried the witcher 3 though.

I wanted to finish witcher 2 a few days ago , after the tutorial i quit (it took me like 30 min). I had to do too many things , which i found very boring .

I only played the first so far...tried to make myself like it for like 26 hours but then abandoned it because it's a horrible game, and I completed without problems much lower rated games like Risen and Two Worlds, both really enjoyed to the last minute (open world though, but I do like linear rpgs so that's not the problem).

Make sure to publish lists of your other favorites, as a seizure warning aid. :-P

What games do, though?

Cod fish lovers are an increasingly overlooked demographic.

give it a try, INSIDE is a great game

INSIDE is not a great game, but it is a great experience and has an amazing atmosphere.
It has puzzles too, but they aren't that well put together.

I would have to agree with this. I loved Far Cry 3 -- one of my 5 most enjoyable games of all time -- so I was excited about Far Cry 4...but after playing a few hours, it's now just sitting in my library, waiting for me to come back to it.

Why didn't you like Undertale? I mean, I'm aware of many reasons people have for not liking it, but what's yours? I thought it was fine, if not as great as it's hyped to be.

I just tried Jotun this morning...it's not a good game :(
Love the hand drawn animation, but the gameplay lacks nuance and fluidity (very clunky), and the environments are very boring to transverse.

I might play a little more just to see more of the nice animations, but not much hope for the game itself to get any better.

Those categories aren't exclusive... but no. Though I suppose, if you're going that way -- I've never liked Pac-Man.

Stardew - I thought it was just me.

Same here regarding Stardew...

Finished Limbo, it was okay, but nothing more for me. It's a simple but nice artstyle, but that doesn't excuse the traps that can not be foresee nor react. Just die and then retry.

If you want a hardcore game, might enjoy RungunJumpgun . That game will make you want to break your keyboard in half :p

Yeah, I've seen the Mass Effect complaints before. There seems to be a split between the people who think ME2 was streamlined and overall better than ME1 for getting rid of things like inventory management, and people who think that made the game worse. I'm firmly in the former camp, though.

The combat of ME1 was more strategic, I think, so that;s probably more to your liking.
I also prefer the freedom of more customization and items rather than the streamlining BS which got more and more prominent til Andromeda...

I have to agree, Never Alone failed as an educational experience. You could play the entire game without learning anything since all the learning material you had to watch from the menu, it didn't feel like it was part of the gameplay. Pretty game, but didn't live up to what people were praising it for.

Yeah there are kind of two sides with the Mass Effect series, either people loved ME1 and didn't like ME2 & ME3 and vice versa. I personally didn't like ME1 at all but still rushed through it in 11 hours to get the story down. ME2 I LOVED, it was just SO good. ME3 was good but not as good and with the ending I actually didn't think it was all that terrible.

+1 on Never Alone...

In the spirit of the Steam Awards, I gave it an award as well. "The Worst Game I Played". I was really excited for it, had it wishlisted and then got is a gift from an ex, so I don't feel too guilty bashing it ;). Played it during Christmas and really, really, really, really hated it. The gameplay sucks the living daylights out of the beautiful art. It runs poorly. The story is fragmented and goes off in irrelevant tangents that never get tied in at the end.

I did enjoy the documentary to some extend, though even if it did have certain bits told twice and have to disagree on it breaking the immersion: you can not watch it as you unlock new chapters and keep playing instead. For me, the documentary bits offered nice breaks from the tedious gameplay.

for basically everyone:D

Every Bethesda open world game kinda has this problem. They are great at making huge interesting worlds with lots of stuff to kill, explore and collect but the story is always so lame that you will do 80 hours of stuff before you even remember there was a story.
And F4 is just so bland. Boring main story (safe that family member that you saw for like 30 seconds which is why you totally don't care) and mostly forgettable NPCs and companions....

That's amazing, that's the same point where I gave up on it. I think it was after a few such impalements, though. And I may have continued after that for a bit, but that's where I realized it was going to be like this for the rest of the game.

The Last of Us is one of those games that I'm still hoping will get a PC port some day (along with Left Behind). I've seen and heard a lot of good things about it, except of course the actual game.

Spoiler___
That is the point of Last of Us, you are basically meant to question the validity of Joel's actions (among other things)-
For me Joel did the right thing, because the Fireflies are incompetent idiots, that didn't get one thing right during their appearances.
Last of Us simply an achievement in storytelling and game narrative. It's not the best game ever. but it's close.

The soundtrack was easily the best part of BioShock Infinite, though, you gotta admit.

I specifically included the audience as well, because yes, there are plenty of instances where critics are "wrong". Or not so much wrong as "lazy" and/or "bribed". The opposite also happens, where something is just fun and enjoyable for your average pleb but massacred by the experienced critics (although that tends to happen with movies far more than games).

I don't like sports in real life and I don't like them in game form either, but yeah, if you dislike a genre on principle you can't really judge any games in it. MOBAs don't do anything for me, for example, so I can't say one is better or worse than the other. Likewise, I'm not a good judge for horror games because horror just isn't my thing. Atmosphere is great, but if your game is primarily about scaring the player it's not going to do much for me.

I have a love/hate relationships with roguelikes/lites. Yes, it's true that trial and error is a big part of mastering them, but I think it's OK because it's more or less part of the genre. I actually feel cheated when I play through one of the modern AAA snoozefests that seem designed to make everybody feel like a hero by allowing you to play through the whole thing without dying once -- or even feeling slightly challenged. Is it wasting time to actually learn how to play the game? Sure, having you die horribly and starting the game all over again is probably the least amusing way to do it (hence the hate part) but if the gameplay itself is alright, and you do feel that you're getting better in every run... Many games now have wikis where you can look up everything before you even start, if you're so inclined, though that's arguably against the spirit of things. A good roguelike is punishing, but the kind of punishment that should feel good, like your muscles aching after a long run.

JRPGs though, hoo boy. I don't think there's ever been any that I liked. And I've tried quite a few. But between tons of grinding, overly abstract, convoluted storylines and characters with enough emotional baggage to keep an academy of psychiatrists occupied, there's always something to dislike them for. This may mostly be a cultural thing, so like sports games or racing games, I'm just not the one to rate JRPGs.

Roguelikes are great if you got practice in them and pretty bad until that point, I feel the pain D:

CS:GO really depends on your point of view. I have some experience in 1.6 and i played on pretty high level in CS:S, but both of these games were fun to play as a casual player too - i played a lot on public servers. In CS:GO i enjoy only matchmaking, but from my experience competitive part of the game in GO is better than it was in 1.6 and muuuuch better than it was in CS:S. As a cybersport it's nearly as good as it could be.

Diablo 3 was awesome in first 3 weeks after release - before nerfs, i'm glad that i had an opportunity to play it those days. First mob in II act oneshotted people after I act on Inferno. But yes, after first 3 weeks game actually became casual crap.

Which one?

You can bind weapons and other items to buttons 1, 3-9 in inventory and then clicking on items (2 for changing ammo type), at least that will speed up a little for you :)

Found you! A-ha!

Have you played / finished any Zelda or any well-praised Nintendo game for that matter?

I think my personal problem with Deponia was my constant desire to strangle Rufus

Deponia is absolutely hilarious but it's very much german humor so I don't really know how well it translates to english (which is also the problem with the puzzles since most of them are based in german humor as well)

the respawning enemies in BL2 are how you grind up levels to face new areas, though... if you want to be disappointed in Borderlands, try playing BL1 after playing BL2. And if you really want to regret playing Borderlands, try the oxygen-sucking, gotta-make-another-one-even-if-we-shouldn't trash heap called BL: The Pre-Sequel!

Yeah dishonored was just another generic stealth game. There was nothing really special about it.

I kinda agree. It is quite boring game when trying the stealth way but if you give up it end up being quite good shooter game with gadgets to help you.

I agree, although I have to say I had a lot of fun in Dishonored 2, as Emily in path without powers..on no kill path..thats when finally that game was real stealth for me, like Thief series. Otherwise those games are just too easy and weird.
