Popular Post kingjavs Posted October 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2020 Inspired by the top 10 games thread, thought it'd be interesting to see what games a lot of people revere that you personally struggled with getting into. Not really encouraging edgelord comments, but just general fun discussion. For me it would be The Witcher, which I say with some disappointment because so many people love this game. Something about the combat and beginning of the game really didn't jive with me, and I dropped it. Seeing it talked about so much still makes me want to revisit it with another open mind, but I never feel like I have a desire considering my first impressions. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiddy23 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I have a couple that really bother me that I cant get through/dont stick with Red Dead 2 and Witcher 3. Actually really like both, just seem to get 10-15 hours in, put it down and not manage to go back. I've re-started Witcher 4 times now, get to the bloody baron and get distracted. I'm telling myself now I'll go back and play it on the PS5 with the boosts its getting! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS2 level graphics, repetitive music, repetitive gameplay, generic anime story, generic anime characters and 90% of the "game" was watching cutscenes that just went on and on and on. It was laughably bad. well you are just plain wrong about PS2 graphics and I guess the rest, Persona 5 was amazing with great music, a great cast, great art style and 90% of the game certainly was not cutscenes Skyrim, thought it was bland and had a lack of creativity and a poor art design. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet_Boi_208 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I’m about to piss off everyone in this thread, but Titanfall 2. The story was kind of cool, but Master difficulty was cheap and the opposite of what the game was trying to be, which is a movement shooter. The multiplayer felt more frustrating than fun IMO. I felt as if there was too much downtime between actual pilot encounters, and taking down general grunts are boring, because they’re not a significant threat to the game, at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks drastically worse than Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age. The "art style" is just anime, which practically every JRPG but Final Fantasy uses because its cheap. The overwhelming vast majority of the gameplay involved slowly tapping X to read more dialogue. The main side thing to do were the Confidants, more dialogue. Most side activities, like watching TV, fishing, playing games all involved just read more dialogue. dude, I know you're trolling when you're saying it looks worse than FF XII.

The graphics are that bad the characters literally can barely emote. They just stand there with blank facial expressions and the only way any expression is displayed is through a separate drawing in the corner when the character speaks. I've played a lot of JRPGs and none of them were anywhere near the horrendous cutscene fest that this game was. You can play for an hour or two at a time and do absolutely nothing but watch cutscenes. dude, you are simply delusional. I am not a fanboy, but you are a blind hater, clear as day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kingjavs Posted October 23, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2020 Omg, not this thread INSTANTLY backfiring. ? Anyways, thats the thing about opinions. Someone may believe that a game has terrible, stiff art, while big industry platforms give it best art direction and game of the year! Thats just the way it goes, I guess. ? 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody in their right mind would say Persona 5 looks better because it absolutely doesn't look close. You also have an anime avatar and anime fans are known to be particularly obsessed with Persona 5. This is a 2006 game that looks enormously better than this from 2015. nope, P5 wins out with it's artstyle of course, which is great. Also, couldn't recognize Mayuri?

The one that every JRPG has to go for because they don't have the money to do something like Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts. Even then compared to something like Dragon Quest XI or Ni No Kuni 2 it still looks pitiful. You know the graphics are awful when they need to add a drawing of the character to show emotions because the character models are too poor. dude, you're crazy. The SMT/Persona games have a distinct are style that just aren't generic anime designs. 9 minutes ago, Smiddy23 said: I love both FF12 and P5, but you're reaching dude Sure P5 isnt for you, and you arent a fan of the art style, you just have to say that.

Any anime fan can immediately point out the generic stereotype of each character without even playing the game. You can tell which one is the intellectual female/class president type, the ditzy one, the geeky one, the mousey/shy one at a glance. They've even got a generic Chopper/Happy anime animal mascot in there. classic smt/persona artstyle. Not bland at all, and a great cast of characters.

Charizarzar Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Far Cry 4 really bored me. The villain was good, but other than that it was just more of the same with a few added features and a blander protagonist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it's classic for the series doesn't stop it from being generic. They're generically designed in every game. They aren't badly designed but they could not be more generic if they tried. but it's literally not bland, you could say that every western rpg is even more bland if you go that route. It's artstyle at least has its own distinct flair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dauersack Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Final Fantasy 7. JRPGs are hit or miss for me, this one was a miss and my experience with it is the main reason I am not buying the remake. Uncharted series. Expected more than shooting galleries with the same generic story for each game I guess, if it wasn't for Nathan being a fun character this would have been much worse. Dark Souls. Horrendously bad and not a single fun moment to be had there, definitely not recommended to people who like genuine challenges. Monster Hunter World. Heard hype about the monster hunter series for many years, but in the end it was just damage sponge monster enemies with hilariously small movesets that often were recycled to the point of absurdity, and most of the melee weapons were so annoying to use that they would have made the game unplayable for me. One big grind, not exactly what I imagined it to be and despite having finished the main game 100% for completions sake I don't look back at it and think it was a great experience. Assassins Creed. The first game of the series I played many years ago really turned me off from the series right away and I have never looked back. The ridiculous size of this series by now and the name Ubisoft being attached almost guarantees that it will stay that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdogg_gamer_ Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 God of War (2018) story didnt make sense based on past games (at least to me) terrible voice acting, and Atreus is annoying.

The character designs are fine, just extremely generic and what you'd expect in any run of the mill anime. It's art style is just anime. It's made to look like anime and they all do that. They are a dime a dozen. Even amongst other games with the same style it still looks awful, with terrible textures and laughable character models. They can't emote. The characters in FFX could offer better movement and expressions than in Persona 5 and it's 2001 game. dude, it's a PS3 game but it has an amazing art design for it's UI(and characters), great Menu transitions, a kick-ass soundtrack, addicting gameplay, and the turn based combat is as smooth as butter. You can disagree and dislike the game, but don't just say it's trash, that's a load of horseshit. That is all, don't bother responding because that's all that needs to be said Edited October 23, 2020 by NOWITSREYNTIME17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a10j12 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion i completed it but really pushed myself to do so. I just wanted to give up after I entered the second oblivion gate and found out how poorly they were done. Quantity over quality never works and the oblivion gates are a great example. The gameplay also was a bit annoying. Great story and music though. But that’s pretty much it. Edited October 23, 2020 by a10j12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The characters aren't amazing, they're just one note stereotypes, the music is fine until you hear that same "You never see it coming" opening every single time you battle and the combat is extremely repetitive as it's a simple matter of applying the same weakness to the same enemy every single time. The game is garbage. It's a non stop cutscene fest, the game has far more cutscenes than it does gameplay, cutscenes that drag on as long if not longer than in MGS4 but far more often and the most significant side activity in the game is just more cutscenes. I can see why people obsessed with anime would adore it but it's a god awful game. lmao, nice try I'm done with your trollery, read my previous comment Edited October 23, 2020 by NOWITSREYNTIME17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is for me, because I have never played something like that, where you need to learn a "parry" concept and all that stuff. Obviously, it is not the same in terms of level design, difficulty, duration... but is more common than anything that I put in my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
