Highly rated and beloved games you didn’t like

[Necromancerx69]

I dislike PayDay2 for many reasons.
Mainly the lies during launch. Now a days everyone loves it.

[Cipher]

I feel like I'm the only one sometimes but I just could not get into Undertale at all.

Undertale is only somewhat interesting if you play pacifist. If you don't, then it's laughably terrible.

[Musou Tensei]

Pretty much everything by Naughty Dog that doesn't has Jak in the title.
Super Mario Sunshine
Any CoD after 2

[Sol]

Never liked any of the Darksouls games. I never really understood the appeal. Most of the bosses felt spammy to me rather than a rhythm which is more of my thing. Or maybe I just never really saw it. Nor did I ever really like any of the Smash games.

[Turbonutter]

This confounds me still, even as I write this: I could never get into the Witcher series. Any of them. At all. Played all 3, petered-out on all 3 after just a couple hours. Even tried going back to them all at various points and none of them ever "stuck" with me.

I was deeply disappointed by Doom 2016. It was too simple. It is too easy, even on the hardest difficulty to never die.

The "glory kills" annoy me.

Watching his gameplays on youtube is boring. There is not much tactics and no strategy needed to play the game.

[CuppaJoe]

Metal Gear Solid. I rented the first one from a video store for the weekend, played it, hated it. Never went back for seconds.

[Verhoven 69]

Zelda series which I love yet hate (why? Because it really does suck so much time because it's that good)

[Matias]

SImple list of some games i have tried and didn't like. I'm not gonna include any games i haven't tried even tho i have opinions without playing them but that would not be fair.

-Oblivion (Just lost interest 30min in)
-Fallout 3 (Could not get into it even how hard i try)
-Batman Arkham games (i just hate the combat even tho people say it's good)
-Alan wake (Drags on for too long)
-Final Fantasy (i don't remember which one, it was on ps2 but just no)
-Metal Gear Solid (uninteresting and controls make it a chore like most ps1 games)
-Cod/Battlefield multiplayer (i tried it way too many times and i don't get why people like it)
-Streetfighter games (i don't like fighting games in general and i really don't like the animation style in streetfighter games)
-Og Tomb Raider games
-FarCry 2
-Destroy all Humans
-Panzer Dragoon , -zwei , -orta . i have all three and they are just not fun to play for me

Diablo III on PS4 was too easy after I think Act 3 or 4. i'm not able to select any of the more advanced difficulty settings because you have to finish like 75% of the game to do that, and was basically plowing through mobs like a hot nickel ball through butter and facerolling buttons, zero strategy, zero challenge, i put it down and never picked it back up. it was fun at first though, co-op was fun for like the first two acts and then i got the wizard supermclaser that blasts through everything and it stopped being fun.

tfw to hardcoar for diablo3

[Lemartes]

I had the same experience. My ex wasn't a big gamer, and I thought that would be a good game for us to play together, but we were both bored out of our minds because of how easy it was. There was maybe one time when we got excited and actually had to try. Even plowing through and unlocking the higher difficulties didn't help.

[SleazyBae]

we bought gauntlet shortly after the diablo disappointment but i haven't really dug into it yet....we played like half a round and it wasn't bad but i just haven't touched it since. WARRIOR NEEDS FOOD BADLY. VALKYRIE IS ABOUT TO DIE

[Lemartes]

Fornite x1000. My friends are all obsessed with it, and I don't get it at all. We either drop into a crowded area, experience some pretty generic 3rd person shooting, and most likely die, or we spend 20 minutes running around the map picking up weapons, getting into like 2 firefights, and winning the match which gives us...?

Not that Overwatch is a perfect game, but it at least makes you think while you play it, and going from that to Fortnite was mind numbing for me.

[Lars]

Skyrim
Fallout series
Dragon Age series
GTA series

"Well, you just don't like open world games!"

Yes I do. I love all the Dark Souls games. Loved Bloodborne. Played way to much World of Warcraft back in the days.

[Black Lotus]

Final Fantasy 7 ... there i said it.

[vippy]

I cannot for the life of me see the appeal of games like Fortnite, Overwatch, Paladins, League of Legends and so on.

[The Final Boss]

I really hated Witcher 2. I got Assassins of Kings edition randomly for free on Steam, and there was pretty much nothing that I liked. The choosing the order of the tutorials is stupid. I went for the second then the first, so now they're teaching me how to walk when I already had to fight. I hated the inventory menu. The manditory stealth section right at the start of the game, that if you fail once you can't even go back to being stealthy until the game decides you can, so what is the god damn point? I hated that blackjacks made the same soundeffects as swords, I hated the glitches that kept happening, and after it all that I can't even go down the stairs if I try to drop 1 step from the side. Then I hated the way cutscenes constantly fade to black. Then they put me in that stupid mission where I have to stay in the circle, making me go at their slow-ass pace, railroading me again.

I tried going back once years later, to check if maybe I was the one out of touch. I concluded that no, it's the children who are wrong.

Also hated Just Cause 2. The only reason I saw it through was a completionist complex. By the time I got bored of it, I was already some 50% in and I didn't think it'd last much longer. Might copy-paste my Steam review for it later.
