Highly rated and beloved games you didn’t like

[Monkeyman04]

I don't know why, Halo never really grabbed me.

[Hadley]

I could never get into any Bioshock game. I own all 3 and didn't play any of them for more than an hour. The gameplay really lacked a certain punch to me, and the writing was so heavy-handed it was like a college freshman on his first soapbox.

[Tech_0ne]

For me, it is Horizon Zero Dawn. I have tried to play this game and I just don't see what the hype and big deal behind the game that everyone else sees. To me, it is just another run-of-the-mill open world game that uses stealth mechanic as it shtick. I don't care for the characters and story either.

[ThetaKing]

Grand theft auto. I just never cared much for the series. Assassin's Creed I have never played any of them. I rather watch fortnite then play it.

[TheCruelTutelageofPai-Mei]

The Elder Scrolls saga. I like RPGs but that series just never did much for me.

Yeah fallout is an interesting one for me because i love the elder scrolls single player games...yet despite having tried to start new games on both fallout 3 and 4 a few times over the years it just couldn't hold my attention.

I'm going to get a lot of hate for this, and I haven't finished it, so perhaps it gets better in the later sections, but... Red Dead 2 just didn't do it for me.

[JLD]

Me either.

[King_Nothing]

Pretty much any highly rated JRPG, I have zero interest in JRPG's.

[Jaime_Dover]

Dragon Age 2, I didn't enjoy it as much as the others but for reasons I saw reviews and people saying it was better then the original.... and I'll stop there.

[Garrus]

Breath of the Wild, I tried to play it the world is just so barren and dull, the combat I just didn't find fun at all. It lost things that made me like Zelda games I found

[Good Apollo]

I agree, I never finished it. Exploration was pointless to me since every weapon breaks anyway. There was no reason to do sidequests, at least hte ones I did. I mean a20 rupees as a sidequest reward when I had 100x that much? Lack of quality dungeons was the deal breaker for me.

[IceWolf]

All of the GTA games... just cant get into being the 'bad guy' as it conflicts with my personal code way to much so not fun for me at all

I am with you here on this. I don't like playing games as the villain. In fact, in RDR2 you play as an outlaw but yet I always try to do good in the game unless it forces me to rob a train or something. So yeah, I can't get into the GTA games either.

[Jediah]

Them Playstation 4 exclusives (Bloodborne and Spider Man are exceptions). The over-the-shoulder camera angle most of them have feels really bad and doesn't really add anything to the game. I much prefer games that focus on having an enjoyable or creative gameplay first to then put a good story on top of it

[PriestTroit]

The Elder Scrolls saga. I like RPGs but that series just never did much for me.

What?! Aww Cmon. I used to play Morrowind on the Xbox for hours on end. One of the greatest games imo. Those loading times tho.... wow

[PriestTroit]

Pretty much any highly rated JRPG, I have zero interest in JRPG's.

First JRPG I played was Golden Sun the Lost Age on the GBA. I'd say it's better than most of the Final Fantasy games. Give it a shot

[Tuklofeign]

What?! Aww Cmon. I used to play Morrowind on the Xbox for hours on end. One of the greatest games imo. Those loading times tho.... wow

Morrowind was a decent enough one. I know people love it. The series just wasn't something that really did it for me. I forget the wizard's name, but that guy that just sort of fell out of the sky and flatlined as I was walking by made me laugh a good while.

[PriestTroit]

Oh, you mean good O'l Scroll of Icarus Flight guy. Lmao that was great. I had a character with enchanted armor and spells to boost my acrobatics skill to such a point that I could jump over mountains.

Here's a video of someone doing it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxRSr_JoPf0

As a fighting game fan and player since the 90s, I will never understand how people to this day consider Smash to be a fighting game.
And yeah, that's my pick, Smash
