What's the one game you think people pretend to like the most?

This weekend's PCG Q&A is a spicy one, inspired by PC Gamer's Andy Kelly putting this out there on Twitter (before being disappointed by the answers, which is just Twitter all over, really). What's the one game you think people pretend to like the most?

[ArchangelMike]

For me it's unfortunately Nier Automata. The hype was unreal about this game, it was supposed to be a masterpeice, a true gem of a game.

And then I played it. *sigh*

I really wanted to like that game, I really did. But I should have never played it. I should have just read the reviews and listened to all the hype, and been content with the idea of it being such a great game. But then I went and played it for myself.

Man, I don't think I've ever been so dissapointed by a game (not even No Man's Sky disappointed me this much). Apart from the combat, nearly everything about that game just screems bad game design. Maybe I've been spoilt by the likes of The Witcher 3, God of War, Fallout 4 - but Nier Automata simple did not do it for me. Don't get me wrong, a blindfolded cyborg ninja chick in a miniskirt is cool and all... but that was about it.

[Snookies12]

So... You never got far enough to understand what made it so highly praised. It's one a lot of people give up on early, because of various reasons. Yet it's a game that absolutely shines in its later moments. It went from being something I wasn't interested in, to being one of my favorite games of all time. (I also dislike that it's constantly just taken at face value "robot chick with skirt" type of mentality. When it's quite frankly so much more than that.)

[TheOptimist]

I second the notion of not even knowing about the game to hungrily wanting all the predecessors to have a port on Steam.

[ArchangelMike]

No I completed the first run through, got into the second and began to struggle with so many design flaws. My goodness, the writing is poor and ham fisted, the level design, the map, the side quests are extremely tedious for no real reason, the gameplay mechanis like the upgrade chips, the implementation of the 15second/30 second buffs, etc etc etc I could go on, but ther is so much that could have been implemented better. When you compare it to other open world games like Horizon Zero Dawn, or other games like Bloodbourne/Dark Souls, it's then you realise that it falls short of what it could truly have been.

[Kados]

So it is Final Fantasy XIII-4? Sorry, but a game should not make the player suffer through monotony for hours before getting decent. If it isn't fun from the start, it isn't worth playing.

[neutralgamer1992]

No a game can't be a master piece if it requires long grind through to get to the great part

[Zenbaby369]

Sometimes the struggle can be what makes a masterpiece so rewarding. Nothing wrong with a game that makes you grind, it just isn't everyones cup of tea.

[Gaming101]

I bought Nier Automata after the rave reviews and I just don't get it. The graphics are from PS3/360 era, since the previous Nier was from 2010 this game got delayed so much you can tell the graphics are basically a 1080p 360 game with some extra polish, but that's not why people like this game. The combat and upgrades are all decent, not bad but not groundbreaking, it did its job. It's trying to be a bullet hell game and a hack and slash game at the same time, and some people like the novelty.
The side quests are everything we hate about side quests. Literally, you are everyone's errand girl/boy. AC Odyssey is the same fetch quest repetitive crap. Witcher 3 did sidequests better than any game ever, with fully fleshed stories that are better than the main stories in a lot of games, quite frankly.
The story in Nier is extremely Japanese, in that it's very weird. It was incomprehensible by the end. It was vague, or at least the ending I got was vague. The character motivations aren't clearly explained, especially A2, I couldn't figure out the true reasons as to why she did any of the things she did in the entire game. It was all a mess. The story tries to be philosophical, which will impress high school students but for those of us who have actually taken Philosophy in post secondary will see it as paper thin, too weird and trying too hard to be an allegory for religion and the meaning of life.

[bouzebbal]

GTA... i really dont get what people like with this series.
it is overrated to the max.

[TheOptimist]

The combat was probably the weakest element in the game apart from maybe side quests. Not because it was bad, but it felt like it lacked depth, but then again, it wasn't very shallow, just not something that comes close to say Devil May Cry or even Bayonetta. But it did have the breadth to cover up, it had hack n slash, twin stick shooting, text adventure elements that kept things fresh. And gameplay is not even its strong suit.

-Best OST of the gen easily
-Some of the best animations
-A story so twisted and beautiful, I remember almost every moment of it
-Really good set pieces for an RPG
-The themes and maturity

Then again, you say you have been spoilt by a game like Fallout 4 which itself isn't a paragon of game design. Kinda confusing there.

[pietro1212]

The combat is one the games highlights. It may bot has the depth if Platinum's other titles such as Bayonetta 1 and 2, but name an action rpg that plays as fast and fluid as Nier Automata?

[Swiftfox]

I'll agree. Nier Automata is the "Emporer's new Clothes" of the generation. People think it's deep and meaningful when it's honestly very poorly executed. From the story to the characters to the premise to the combat, to the overused, overall theme: the game was below average. Just goes to show you just need a soundtrack, plot, and theme from most "adult" 90's anime and you have a hit. What a disappointment.

[goldwyncq]

Nah, that would be Horizon Zero Dawn.

[ArchangelMike]

@Swftfox
This is exactly my sentiment. To top it off why is the game practically in black and white, with a splash of green here and there?

[Livingthedream]

I think infamous second son and horizon zero dawn

[MoshA]

I agree. I like the world, atmosphere, character designs and combat but the story telling felt amateurish. Also the graphics were pretty bad, a lot of washed out textures and I had some technical issues on PS4, i can only imagine the pc port. For some reason the game forces you to play it twice straight away aswell. That should have been an optional NG+.

[DaDrunkenJester]

You only beat it once? The reason it forces you into playing twice right away is because it tells the story from the other bots perspective. Then on the 3rd playthrough you continue the story and things get twisted. To experience everything the plot has to offer you need to play it 3 times. Then you'll understand why people say the plot and story telling are great.

[bigmalky]

It's not the exact same game after the credits though. If you played it, you would know that.

[tontontam0]

You know what I think nier automata is one of the games people "intentionally try to hate" because of the praises it is getting.

[goldwyncq]

It's easily the best Japanese game of this generation along with Bloodborne.

[notachance]

aren't the blindfolded ninja chick just for the first playthrough?
most people praising it probably went all the way until the true ending on the 5th playthrough (not that it's a repeating playthrough, 3-5 are continuation, 2nd is the first but from the view of another character)

Although one thing I would criticised from it is exactly that, shouldn't have broke down the stories to 5 playthrough because most people would just thought it's finished at the 1st one.

disclaimer: I only played 1,5 playthrough because someone borrowed it and have yet to return it to me until this day. Based from what I played it's.. normal? good-ish, but not as amazing as the reviews I read, wanted to go all the way until the 5th ending but first I need my copy back...

[_FantasmA_]

If you have to play a game 5 times for it to git good, then that is a fail. Shouldn't it be good on it's first playthrough? It's like a relationship "hey, I know it didn't work out before, but let's keep trying again and see if we can rekindle the magic on the 5th time." Sorry, but no. The demo was terrible. Shouldn't a demo get me hyped up enough to buy the game. I just don't see the hype. Plus this game goes on sale every other month it seems like, kinda life Destiny 2 and BF5.

[bigmalky]

It's good from the start. It just builds to epic.

And it's not repeating the same game after the credits. Totally new perspective, character and combat style.

[ginsunuva]

Just came here to say the same exact thing.

The Tomb Raider reboot is almost tied though.

[MWH]

Same here. The first Nier although looks like a monkey's butt its story connected immediately and kept me going, Automata on the other hand didn't. I played a little further after you meet the twins in the alien ship when i finally lost interest.

I asked a friend who finished the game we both agreed that Automata's gameplay is good but he added that the story was not as good as the original, not even close. That was the end of it for me, unfortunately, because i was eagerly waiting for it and advising all my friends to play the original.

[neutralgamer1992]

For me it is the Witcher 3, I want to like the game but just can't can't explain

Everyone talks so highly about it so I am in the minority on this one

[KyRo]

I'm with you.

[starchild]

At least you recognize you're the minority. We all have our own tastes. No game is going to appeal to everyone. For me The Witcher 3 is the best overall game experience I've ever had.

[good_sk8er]

I loved Nier Automata, but then again I loved the first Nier, which didn't seem incredibly popular. Amazing soundtrack, great story, varied and enjoyable gameplay. I dont think it takes a while to get good, but it does seem to get better each time you beat it, but I was having a great time from the get go.

Again just because you dont like something doesn't mean people are pretending to, that's just silly.

[DrumBeat]

Journey, or perhaps Flower.

[GameStallion]

I thought journey was def overrated, but the art direction was gorgeous.

[DrumBeat]

Some people will say what you dislike about Nier is what made it charming. I completely agree... with you. An argument I often hear for this artsy-fartsy, weird-but-not-in-a-good-way game is the varied perspectives and gameplay; twin-stick, hack-slash, etc, but I find nothing about the game compelling in slightest... except for the soundtrack. It's quite good and really compliments the atmospheres. I can't consciously say anything else positive about this masterpiece/not a masterpiece.

[sKiiTs8]

completely disagree. the graphics weren't brilliant, but the story, soundtrack and world i thought were AMAZING

[Sm00thNinja]

How far did you get

[kevnb]

Cant really see what you are talking about, its one of the best designed games of the last few years imo. If we want to talk about a poorly designed game, lets talk about fallout 4... an rpg with no interesting combat, no interesting dialog, no interesting story, terrible world building, and full of bugs.

[l3w1s]

Saying Automata has "bad game design" and calling Witcher 3 anything close to a good game - oh my sides.

[starchild]

Hardy hardy har you're such a gaming god. You know better than everybody else. I happen to think they are both great games. But what do I know, the gaming god has spoken.

[pietro1212]

Both games were great. Nier is probably one of the best jprgs to cone out this gen and Witcher 3 is one of the best wrpgs to come out this gen.

[l3w1s]

@pietro1212

Calling Witcher an RPG - that's rich. That shit has no redeeming qualities, whether you look at it as a RPG or an action game. Poor story, ripped straight from the books, flanderization of character (I'm looking at you Ciri, what have they done to you!), poor combat. Enjoy what you want to enjoy, but please don't call W3 a good game. Because it isn't.

[ChronoJoe]

Aside from the combat? The combat is most of the game.

[rainslacker]

Are you pretending to like the game though?

Think the topic of the article is about what game get more people liking it, even though said people probably aren't liking it.

Seems like a dumb topic, since it's based on subjective things, but I suppose there are games out there that get said they're great, even though people are muddling through it, but for some reason, feel they have to pretend to be liking it for some reason. But people can do silly things for whatever reason.

[GameStallion]

Yeah, that game was MASSIVELY overrated. I played it and enjoyed my life less than when I wasn’t playing it.

[nommers]

Disagreeing big time. I don’t know if there’s been another game to do this, but at the end of Automata

•spoilers•

the game goes beyond breaking the 4th wall to practically including the player into the story and in a way that makes sense with the story. It then coerces you in a very good way to even making the selfless decision to delete your save file so another player may live and get through the credit sequence. I know it’s probably not needed and other player data is probably around there on repeat, but it’s very convincing in the manner. Not saying everybody is going to delete their data because it’s such a large amount of work but it does it well enough that many people have. I’ve never experienced or heard of the bringing together of a gaming community this way or this well and having this done in a way that it verges on the brink of being CANON in the story. That is a monumental feat worthy of all the praise.

[pietro1212]

Have you played another title developed by Platinum? If you didn't that's mist likely why you get the appeal. Also a lit of the fans loved the concept behind Nier's world (myself included)

[Segata]

Sounds like you just didn't get it. Combat is great and the story is one of the best in gaming and a sequel to Nier & Nier is a successor to Drakengard series. Nier Automata is one of the best games this generation easily. Of course it's not very colorful. It's not supposed to be in a dreary setting. Nier series is posted end of the world. They are tragic tales. This is a world 10,000 years after civilization ended & the sun never sets. The world is off balance and most life is gone.

[TheEroica]

I totally agree... Well said. Neir was trash. To those saying you need to play the game 30 times through to understand how good it is? Get bent. No game should have to be beaten 30 times before revealing itself as halfway decent.

[MeteorPanda]

zelda breath of the wild. that game was untouchable by negative press, every critism not praising it was shot down. it was dark times.

now ppl are like yeah...theres 4 mobs and weapons break.

[Ausbo]

I agree 100%. I should’ve read this before posting my comment above

[NecrumOddBoy]

10000% agree. I have expressed my concerns but the pitchforks came out hard. BOTW was 100% carried by the Zelda and Nintendo name alone. It would have failed if it was called anything other.

[starchild]

I don't agree. It was a really well crafted game and I enjoyed it a lot.

I do recognize that it was somewhat overhyped, but that goes for most exclusives on all platforms. Exclusives tend to always get overrated and overhyped (anywhere from a little to a lot). The same quality game as a multiplat will generally not receive the same level of hype or ratings.

[Sono421]

Exactly the game that came to mind for me too, the fact it has so many flaws and everyone overlooks them or downplays them still today boggles my mind. I am still confident that if the game simply had a different name and didn't have Zelda in the title, or Nintendo as the name on the product, it would have been slaughtered by reviews for the terrible design.

[Kosic]

BOTW was a terrible, over hyped game. I got a copy on the Wii U and it was an impressive looking game, but for gameplay, we've seen it all before. The arguments people make to tell you how good it is, is rather a joke. "Check out those physics....!"

I love a good Zelda game, but that one I managed to force myself to complete the story, 16 hours in I just rushed too the finish line. I was almost at my peak and calling it quits.

[DaDrunkenJester]

That's a shame. I put well over 100 hours into it and loved it all. I do wish they had more traditional dungeons though like the old games instead of the divine beasts.

[MoshA]

Nah, unique art style, beautiful music, immersive sound design and physics based combat and puzzles. Bosses, quests etc.
It's probably hard for casuals to appreciate these things though.

[Araragifeels]

All Boss fight are trash especially Ganondorf fight which was so easy and boring. Weapon was horrible (Master Sword can be useless and the shield break easily) and is empty world. The only good thing about the game is the art style and fighting mechanic. I prefer playing Twilight Princess again than this

[ClayRules2012]

It has nice visuals. But “in my opinion” had it not had Zelda in the title of the game, I don’t believe it would’ve been praised like it has been. I played it with a friend who’s a big Zelda fan, and he didn’t like it, and believed the name alone is the reason why it’s gonna so much praise.

[MoshA]

Twilight Princess will always be the least innovative Zelda game :) Im glad it will be forgotten.

[ninsigma]

100% agreed.

[notachance]

I got bored playing it because the 4 beasts were just copy-pasted with different settings:
you meet champion's successor -> get into the beast with their help -> puzzle -> ganon boss
by the third beast I was like, enough of this man, let's just play anything else.

In fact, the "4 element" settings made me remember Brave Fencer Musashi on PS1 and how varied the journey was to get the 4 elements back then, going up the highest mountain, solving ancient zombie outbreak, travelling deep into illusion forest, going deep down into the bowels of the earth... compare that to the lazy ass copy-paste gameplay and story of BotW I honestly became sad seeing the press blinded by the Nintendo and Zelda logo.

[bluefox755]

Par for the course with big ticket Nintendo games.

[Zeldafan64]

You just can't stand the fact that Breath of the Wild continues to sell.

[MaxiPower90]

i hated breath of the wild. weapons breaking is a killer.

[3-4-5]

I loved Botw. Truly a great game for what it tried to accomplish and what it did accomplish, but there are a few things that still bother me about the game.
Botw's Mistakes:

1.) Weapons breaking is stupid....it's annoying, it's tedious, and it makes you hesitate to want to have as much fun as you could for fear of having to go gather more useful weapons......good idea, poorly executed.

2.) The music.....or lack there of. Legend of Zelda always had really melodic and catchy/memorable music that was very pleasing to listen to and helped set the mood/mindset of the game. They removed that and with it they removed some of the charm.
The music in Legend of Zelda games is arguable my second favorite reason to play the games and they got rid of it. Such a dumb decision.

With the next game, they need to shrink the world by 20% but fill it with 20 more towns. Towns seemed to have been the only place with different and good music as well.

Oh yea....Bring back regular dungeons.

[-Foxtrot]

Preach

People need to realise it's okay to criticize a main line Nintendo game and still like it, the mentality is you either f***** ADORE it, like you think it's amazing, sing praise, talk positively about it all the time and how it's perfect OR you think it's shit, awful, worst game ever and it's you "trolling". There is literally no middle ground at all, people think it's impossible to be anything but one or the other. If you say it's a decent game but list some issues or even just say "I like it as a game but it's very overrated" then you are pushed into the "you hate it, you're a troll, you think it's awful" circle. It's really unfair and it's done as a way to stop people thinking it's anything less then perfect by shooting them down.

Now you get journalists who will write articles criticize things about the game but they never once said that within their perfect glowing reviews, why not? We have seen journalists over the years nit pick things far smaller in other, smaller named games so it's not like they are beyond telling it like it is.

It was a good game, about a 7.5 at least but it did nothing revolutionary as people, journalists or even some arse licking developers go on about. Games like Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Dark Souls, Fallout, GTA, Horizon etc did some features better long before BotW, if this game came out in 2011 instead of Skyward Sword then I'd understand but 2017 was far too late.

People just see it as a main line Zelda game and think they HAVE to like it because of the reputation the franchise has gained. Even Skyward Sword was not that good for other reasons and people still couldn't be honest about that, I think the last good traditional Zelda game was Twilight Princess.

BotW did things worse then past Zelda games, they went backwards from story, memorable characters, a living breathing world full of life, monster variety, epic creative dungeons, massive unique boss fights, towns with their own styles and so on

The main things I liked about the game I can proudly state were the smaller things like turning water into ice and jumping on them as platforms, building things to fly, using a shield on a tall mountain slope, using a paraglider to glide around the map if you need to get down to ground level quickly, the fact the clouds have shadows on the ground that move etc. Little things which added charm to the game and set it's self apart from other open world games but the issue is these little things are not enough to go "I'm going to ignore the dozen or so faults because of this"

[Hardiman]

Yeah I was really let down by it! So much so I just finished it not that long ago. I've completed all main line Zeldas since the NES and BOTW and Skyward Sword were big letdowns compared to the Zeldas before them. Especially Ocarina, Wind Waker and The Twilight Princess and A Link to the Past!

I saw someone say above Twilight Princess was the least innovative Zelda but I'd throw that shade at Skyward Sword and BOTW. The last two just feel lacking compared to the ones before them and just because BOTW is the first Zelda to really embrace open world game design mechanics doesn't make it game changer because like you others have done it before and better! It's like watching the special features on The Girl with all the Gifts and seeing Glen Close and all the actors and producers fawning about how it's such an original idea for this kind of story but it's not because Naughty Dog and Sony did it first and told a much better story with The Last of Us!

[starchild]

"People need to realise it's okay to criticize a main line Nintendo game and still like it, the mentality is you either f***** ADORE it, like you think it's amazing, sing praise, talk positively about it all the time and how it's perfect OR you think it's shit, awful, worst game ever and it's you "trolling"."

That goes for Sony exclusives too. It seems you guys love to dish out constant "criticism" about multiplats and PC, Nintendo or Xbox exclusives, but most of the time I've seen anyone criticize Sony exclusives to any real degree on this site they get downvoted and attacked.

It's very telling that all the most extreme fanboys commenting on this article are mentioning highly rated multiplats and exclusives on platforms other than on the PS4. It's just comical at this point.

I think Sony does a really fantastic job as a publisher and I love some of their games, but that doesn't mean that they are all perfect and
that other platforms' exclusives and multiplats are somehow the only ones that don't deserve their hype or high scores.

[Relientk77]

Agree man was BOTW overrated AF. I absolutely love Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twlight Princess like a milion times more.

[Fraggle1987]

Absolutely agree. The mini dungeons were a real dissapointment. The Survivial elements like the breakable weapons shouldnt have been in the game etc. Story rubbish like all zeldas and the graphics were really poor, no AA, the grass; AHHH my eyes. Some performace issues to top it all off and you have a very overhyped game.

[babadivad]

So MUCH this!!

[good_sk8er]

It definitely did things a little differently than previous entries, and I can see what a lot of people dont like, but I did feel like it held my interest and the mechanics were great. Slightly embarrassing, but BOTW is the only Zelda game I have ever beaten besides Link's Awakening DX on GBC.

[DemoIishor]

I'm glad you said this. I am a fervent Zelda fan and was really excited to get this game after hearing the hype, but I stopped an hour in and never had even the slightest urge to go back.

[Dixiedevil]

It was the only Zelda game I never finished. It was just soooo boring and the continuous breaking weapons where irritating as hell. Put around 60-70 hours in and just stopped playing out of disinterest.

[warriorcase]

"What's the one game you think people pretend to like the most?"
I thought this was a stupid question at first glance because who the hell pretends to like a game. I can see kids in school or wildly insecure people "liking" fortnite or something just to fit in but that's all I could think of as any regular adult would either just like something or not.

But, this answer made me think a bit more. I remember playing BOTW after seeing all the crazy praise it was getting among users and press. When I dove in I did like it but I definitely felt like I was wasn't seeing something they all did. It felt to me like a prototype for the next Zelda game with a bunch of new ideas and mechanics thrown in to gauge the feedback for a future title. I enjoyed my time with it but man was it not worth the praise so many made it out to be, like it was the next gaming revolution.

[Zeldafan64]

I have played Breath of the Wild for almost 900 hours. Tell me, have you EVER played a single game for that long?

[EddieNX]

It's easily one of the best games of recent times but these people are entitled to their opinion. Lots of people also appreciate it as an amazing game so swings and roundabouts.

There is so much to praise about this game but some people just don't get it and that's fine.

[MeteorPanda]

yeah several, rune factory, every monster hunter entry...mmo's, on multiple characters, dragons dogma...

good for you loving the game but it doesnt hide how basic it is and how close it is to a tec demo

[notachance]

monster hunter world: 1000 hours
dota2: 5500 hours
dota1: there's no counter but I'm sure it's close to 10,000 hours
bloodborne: 400 hours
ds3: 600ish hours perhaps, it's split between ps4 and pc

there's also FFXIV and a local hit called Ragnarok Online which goes beyond the above games, but you get the point.

[EmperorDalek]

Kind of like God of War.

[Moe-Gunz]

BOTW is mine too.

[Zeldafan64]

Calling Breath of the Wild a tech demo just shows that you're salty that it's sales are higher than any of your precious sony exclusives. And on a smaller install base at that. Not to worry. The Switch will sell more than the ps4 eventually.

[yoshatabi]

Lol. Your username. Obviously you're going to defend a shit game. And no one mentioned the sales or Sony.

[yoshatabi]

My old roommate was fan boying about that game. He let me try it since I didn't have a switch. And I got bored incredibly fast. Such a boring game.

[SuperSonic91]

Oh yes. Those Dreamcast graphics and SOTC gameplay.
I remember Miyamoto saying to Aunoma after seeing SOTC on PS2 that the next Zelda game will be inspired by Fumito Ueda's masterpiece and the rest is history.

[ocelot07]

Agreed don't get me wrong I enjoyed it but it was no way near a 10/10 game. The review Jim Sterling gave was spot on 7/10 yet he was pretty much crucified for it.

[Leeroyw]

Life is Strange.
The dialogue felt so forced and tried too hard to sound 'cool'. Kids don't talk like that.
I played through and tried to live in that world but I just couldn't relate to the characters. Another game on Switch called Oxenfree was the same
Lauded by critics but I found the voice acting and script insufferable.
I confess I haven't played L. I. S. Part two but I don't want to spend more time with people I find annoying.

[Sono421]

Wasn't the game that came to mind for me, but I very strongly agree. For a game focused entirely on dialog, the writing is absolutely terrible. I'm glad I got it for free with PS+ instead of paying for it, because I almost did because my buddy was bragging it up so much.

[TekoIie]

Nah dude the writing Hella-high!

[bluefox755]

I thought that game was just awful. I still don't understand the hype. The writing was atrocious, the characters were intolerable. It feels like it was made for 14 year old girls. Just don't get it.

[SegaGamer]

I enjoyed the game, but I agree, the dialog was terrible. Definitely up there with the cringiest games I have ever played.

[pcz]

the Monster hunter franchise is over rated.

[uth11]

i did like Life is Strange, but you are completely right about the cringey dialogue shaka brah!

[AnubisG]

For me it's the Witcher 3. I tried, and tried and tried again but the world to me is bland, the combat is bad, the witcher himself is an unlikable character. The two things I liked is some of the sidequest stories and monster design.

[Ausbo]

I respect this comment even though I disagree. Certain RPGs aren’t for everyone

[WickedLester]

Agreed. Plus for me, The Witcher 3 was just too damn big! Usually playing a video game is an exercise in reduction. What I mean by that is, the more you accomplish in a game and put in your rearview mirror, the less of it you have in front of you to finish. The Witcher felt the complete opposite. It felt like the game got BIGGER, the more you completed. It was overwhelming.

[DrumBeat]

Witcher 3 I GUESS you could say was overwhelming, but in a good way. Overwhelming in a bad way would be AC Odyssey.

[jeremyj2913]

I completely agree with this. I really wanted to love The Witcher 3 but the combat and magic didn't hold my attention and it got so overwhelming that playing it felt like going to work. I did love the story even though I only got about 15 to 20 hours in.

[ArchangelMike]

@AnubisG

Quick question though, did you play andy of the previous Wither games - no tthat its required. But I loved the Witcher becasue I had played 1 & 2 (and read some of teh book) before playing Withcer 3. It was a direct sequel (Think Mass Effect 3 in relation ot ME1 & 2). So in this regard the story made sense in the context of the prequels.
Anyway, you cna probably tell that I love The Witcher 3, but alot of it's lore, characters and world building had been established in the 2 previous entries.

[AnubisG]

This was the first Witcher game I played. The story wasn't that big of an issue for me as I liked some of the sidequest stories. It was more of what I said about it in my first post.

[good_sk8er]

You know I have the exact same opinion on this the Witcher 3. I beat it, but can barely recall any of it except doing the same thing every battle.

I'm not saying it isn't a good game, but it definitely wasn't something I'd want to slog through again.

[DrumBeat]

His stoic nature makes him an appealing character to me. So long.

[Nacho_Z]

I thought the combat was mediocre and the world was about the same but everything else was absolutely superb, the storytelling was up there with the best that films and tv have to offer.

[GameStallion]

It’s funny with this one, I’ve had two friends say they just couldn’t get into after trying it because it’s my favorite game of all time.

[BadElf]

Interesting...havent heard someone call Geralt "unlikable" . Loved the man....what a legend.
Curious, what did you not like about him?

[AnubisG]

Can't really put my finger on one thing. Just all around unsimpathetic for some reason. I think it didn't help that the best armor I was able to wear for a long time looked like a clowns outfit.

[ChristopherJack]

I got Witcher 2 thinking it was something akin to TES or FO, I was greatly disappointed from the moment I touched it, left it alone for like a year and then, out of nowhere, decided to give it a second chance, I felt the same but I was bored so I pushed myself through for a few hours and by the time I hit Flotsam, kinda started liking it, kept pushing through and I started loving it, then completed it a second time.

Witcher 3 started off the same for me but I already KNEW it was gonna hook me and it didn't take long, by the time I battled the griffin I was already enjoying it and choices made during the Baron story made me quickly fall in love once more. Completed that a few times but only completed the DLC once. As much as I loved it though, fuck trying to 100% it- I did beat the first 2 maps but Skellige was too big and traveling was boring to bother.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

That's definitely a game you feel like you're supposed to like. I agree I couldn't get into it either but Bloodborne , which released the same year, had/has me captivated.

[Ausbo]

I could be completely wrong, but I did not like Zelda breath of the wild. Put about 10-15 hrs into it and I couldn’t continue. I feel like that game is overrated and people pretend to enjoy it. Mario odyssey was way better

[WickedLester]

Same. Maybe it's because I had just finished Herizon Zero Dawn but, by comparison Zelda BOTW's world felt empty, the story was weak and uninteresting to me, and the breakable weapons were beyond frustrating (why in hell would your bow break after using it?). Its not a bad game, but it's not the monumental 10/10 that so many sites gave it. In truth, it's a solid 8. Yes, there are a lot of firsts here for a zelda game, but certainly nothing ground-breaking that several other open world games didnt already do and better. I mean, I'm not going to sprout a boner just because Zelda can suddenly jump! (Ooooh, so innovative!)

[septemberindecember]

*Link* has been able to jump since Links Awakening. Jumping mechanics isn’t why it was called innovative. You should try playing the series before saying they are just firsts for Zelda games.

[Nintentional]

https://youtu.be/aVPXKdSEGN... Horizon doesn’t hold a candle to Breath of the Wild

[WickedLester]

Well with a name like "Nintentional" I would expect your opinion to be nothing less.

[Jaces]

I too, think Zero Dawn offered more from the story perspective and that the world just felt more alive and the enemy engagements were so intense and fun. There are aspects to BoTW that I loved, climbing mechanic, variety of weapons that can be used (not the breaking part, my GOD), challenge temples were very fun, and the exploring was rewarding but at times overwhelming because it was a little to MASSIVE for me. I think they need to pack more in to a smaller map. I hate that some developers think the bigger map size is for the better. It's really not guys. BoTW is overrated but I still enjoy it and am happy Nintendo took a different approach to change things up.

[Hardiman]

Yeah playing through HZD and completing it right before I jumped into BOTW did BOTW no favors from my perspective. It really was Day and night but it wasn't just Horizon but the other Zeldas that made some of the devs decisions seem odd! Ocarina, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess were all great games as well as Zelda games but BOTW felt as if it was missing what those games had.

I was really shocked by how bare and repetitive the game was and how badly the weapons were handled. Wild Hunt did the weapons system so much better and I feel this would've benefited BOTW better then how easily they break in Nintendo's game.

[TekoIie]

"why in hell would your bow break after using it?"

You think Bowstrings don't snap? What rock have you been living under to not have the common sense to think of that?

" mean, I'm not going to sprout a boner just because Zelda can suddenly jump!"

You know I honestly want to believe that you're not that stupid, but it comes across as though you're confusing Zelda with Link. Zelda doesn't jump in BotW... Because you don't play as her. You're clearly ignorant and just making things up.

[Sono421]

It's not just you, Mario odyssey is way better, every inch of Mario Odyssey's worlds is superbly well thought out, where as almost nothing in Breath of the Wild is thought out well at all, with such terrible design choices and nothing meaningful. Breath of the Wild tries to give the illusion of having a story, but doesn't, where as odyssey never even tries to fool you, it's all about the gameplay and it shows.

[WickedLester]

Agreed 100%.

[EddieNX]

This is the least true thing I've ever read. BOTW open world is truly meticulously designed and well thought out. I dunno what you were doing or playing.

[notachance]

so true, playing odyssey was such a blast I finished it in a weekend, that concert at new donk city was just pure celebration of mario history.

I actually fell asleep at the third beast on BotW.. by the fourth beast I gave up completely. Utter horsesh*t copy-pasted sequence for all beasts.

[Nintentional]

You are wrong lol

[DazaMc]

I put 150 hours in to mine, really loved it. The only thing i'd change is MORE story and more traditional style dungeons.

[Zeldafan64]

I have played Breath of the Wild for almost 900 hours.

[BadElf]

Cant be "wrong" having an opinion on a game

[MrVux000]

This gen, would probably be either Breath of the Wild or The Witcher 3.

[LOGICWINS]

I wholeheartedly agree with the Witcher 3.

As for BOTW, I didn't like it at first but it grew on me. I dont think it's a 10/10 due to the technical issues, but it's for damn sure one of the more engrossing open world games I've ever played...I just wish the devs made the game a bit smaller in favor of a better story like Horizon: Zero Dawn has.

[zachyBROosevelt]

Easy, Fortnite

[ClayRules2012]

Lol. Not a bad choice.

[WickedLester]

Zelda BOTW.

[william_cade]

Dark Souls 2. I'm a Bloodborne fan boy and seriously love Dark Souls 3, but 2 is a pile of turds. I don't see how the critics gave that game high marks,l but the pvp is good! hahaha joking that sucks too. It's a solid 5.

[LightofDarkness]

They were afraid to give it low marks in case they seemed "uncool", most likely because they probably didn't understand why the first game was so great. They probably didn't even like Dark Souls. This also explains why everything that's hard to them is the "Dark Souls of {genre}".

[william_cade]

I agree. I just looked at metacritic for the PC version of DS2 and not one critic gave it a negative review. I mean come on the game was unfinished and divorced from it's blood.

[EmperorDalek]

Dark Souls 2 wasn't as good as the others in the series, but still a great game overall. I thought it was better than Dragon Age Inquisition, which won game of the year over it.

[notachance]

true, so many cheap tricks to purposely kill players the first time they arrive at a place.
It felt like it's hard just for the sake of being hard, not because of smart game design. Forgot who it is, but a youtuber nailed the point: "Let's just put multiple bosses with standard moves to make it hard instead of making one well-thought boss design"

[DaDrunkenJester]

2 is easily the worst of the souls games. Don't worry, that's not really an unpopular opinion. Most Souls fans agree it sucks.

[Movefasta1993]

i still think it's a great action rpg just not a good souls game. The leveld design is just awful, the other games felt connected in their design. But if you haven't given them a shot, i recomend you try the dlc because they sort out all those issues.

[EDKICK]

I still think even as a bad Dark Souls game Dark Souls 2 is honestly still a really good game but I think the crazy high reviews were a lot of people making up for the fact that they missed DS1.

[GameStallion]

Your brain is a pile of turds. Dark Souls 2 is incredible.

[william_cade]

you might want to use your wisdom of yourself. See I can do it too.

[ButchKween]

I'm with you on that one. it was made by the B team and it shows. it's not terrible, it's just the weakest in the series. The re master is pretty good but the combat just feel so awkward in that game compared to the rest of the series

[starchild]

DS2 isn't my favorite in the series, but it's far from a bad game. I've seen some people who consider DS2 the best in the series. For me it goes in this order, from best to worst: Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls 1, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 2, Demon's Souls

[Chaos_Order]

Final Fantasy 6

Not that the game is bad, or anything. In fact I'd say it's one of the best in the series and one of the best JRPGs of its era, but the sheer reverance the game holds in the FF fandom is unreal, as if the game is both a masterpiece of storytelling to rival the greatest literary works and a peerless RPG system with perfect combat and progression that none have surpassed.

If you're about to converse with members of the FF fandom, it's much, much safer to just say 6 is your favourite and call it a day. You can maybe get away with saying 4 is the best if you talk about its advancements for the time of release, or possibly 9 if you go out of your way to emphasize the series "going back to its roots," but really, it's all about 6 and how nobody can possibly criticise it. So yeah, I'm sure plenty of people have just pretended to love it just to fit in.

[MeteorPanda]

I loved 9 and 8, i still go back to them on my vita.

However for some reason 7 's story stuck with me the most, it was beatifully ttagic and each character id never seen so fleshed out in backstory before

[Zeldafan64]

There's no way you'd be saying any of that if those games were exclusive to Nintendo. Go shove sony's dick down your throat some more.

[nommers]

It's extremely easy to criticize FF6, but the people that enjoy it the most never mention the flaws and they seem to tolerate some pretty questionable game design as do pretty much all the old school JRPG gamers (pre FF7). The people that don't care for it aren't around to call it out on its BS because they don't care about hanging around on the forums to push an agenda.

Two simple and obvious almost game breaking flaws. Deal breakers to prevent most people from playing it through all the way: An insanely high random encounter rate that feels like it punishes exploration, and forced party split ups. I don't know about you, but I don't like the flow of my game to feel like I'm staring down a miles worth of red lights separated by about 100 feet between them and a minimum wait time of 10-15 seconds at each light. And maybe a player doesn't want to play with all the characters or be forced to grind all of them up to a decent level to get to the end of the game. Whouda thunk?

FF6 even has some problems its predecessors didn't have. You could at least run away from battles almost immediately in FF4 and FF5. But in FF6 you have to (most of the time) wait until each character runs away one at a time. Most of the time the enemies will get a hit on you before you leave, even with smoke grenades. Considering the number of encounters, it's annoying as hell.

Then there's the characters. There's just not that much depth to them and they come off for the most part as very cartoonish rather than human with very few exceptions; including the more important characters. The story has charm and paces decently, but there's very little to be poignant about with the characters. The villain can't turn off his caps lock. Cyan's part gets blown too soon, which is funny because I kept hearing about how great his moments are with the Phantom train and all that. Yet the same people would criticize Luna because we didn't get to know her for very long, despite us not knowing Cyan for barely 20 minutes up to his big moments lol. But unlike Luna his relevancy almost completely stops at that point in the story.

[Chaos_Order]

For me personally, the biggest detractor in FF6 is also its most important moment - Kefka tearing the world apart. It's a shocking, epic moment, and the desolation you feel when awaking as Celes on an impoverished island is certainly impactful. But once you get past that, it's an exercise in trotting across the world map and saying "we're getting the band back together" to whichever party member you find. Also, all the lore and world building up to that point is canned since everything is destroyed, and aside from Edgar (easily my favourite character in the game) tricking the bandits he once had imprisoned into following him, nothing all that interesting comes out of it. Up to that point the game was going from strength to strength, but then it took a huge down turn. You could argue it makes sense thematically, since the characters miss the old world too, but you've still got another 15+ hours of wandering about.

Also, I never found Kefka all that interesting. I'd like a better motivation than just "HE'S CRAZY AND RANDOM!" to get me invested in a villain. But hey, that's just my opinion.

[NotanotherReboot]

I'd say Horizon Zero Dawn

[ClayRules2012]

And I’d say, HOW RUDE...Joking with ya, Frinker.
I respectfully disagree. To me, Horizon is one of the finest/best games of this console generation.

[NotanotherReboot]

That's cool. I respect your opinion

[ClayRules2012]

I respect yours as well. Hope you have a great Sunday!

[_FantasmA_]

Horizon is the best game of this generation for me. I'm not even finished yet. I've only been playing for 3 weeks and I've barely advanced the main story. There's so much to do, and I never get bored. The animations are kind of choppy in some places, and there's too many Watchers in the game. But this game easily makes my top 10 games/franchises of all time. It surpassed the hype for me.

[Hardiman]

It's one of the few games I read every data log and watched every holo tape because I found the story so interesting! I love the combat and how there are so many options in taking down the bigger machines.

I can't wait to see where Sony and GG take the franchise and really that's the best part. It's a brand new franchise instead of just the same old same old.

[sampsonon]

better than breath of the early 2000's

[Imalwaysright]

Early 2000's what? BoTW is one of the most complex games of this entire generation. Only RDR2 has a physics system comparable and even then falls short because BoTW gameplay is fully based on its physics while in RDR2 the physics of the world are mainly just for show.

[sampsonon]

breath of the wild

[Nintentional]

Funny all these Sony fanboys trying to downplay BotW. That’s N4G for ya

[sampsonon]

overrated. sorry

[EmperorDalek]

They're the same people who think Horizon is an underrated masterpiece. Then again, they disliked Red Dead 2, so maybe they're too impatient for games like Zelda.

[EddieNX]

It's true. Most of them probably haven't even played it. Some guy refered to Link as Zelda above in the comments lmao.

One of the best games of the past ten years.

[Rimeskeem]

Funny, someone saying we are all Sony fanboys and that 's N4G for you in a comment section about what game people think is most faked like game.

N4G for ya

[Imalwaysright]

Yep mention a non Sony game especially BoTW that caused sony fanboys a lot of buthurt because is generally seen as a superior game compared to Horizon and is higher rated than any Sony game in this generation and the agrees start pouring in. Mention a Sony game and you'll automatically get more disagrees than agrees.

[Nintentional]

What part(s) of Breath of the Wild specifically did you not enjoy? Lol probably never even played it.

[sampsonon]

i never said i didn't enjoy it. i said it was overrated.
grown men acting like children for a game that is just so so.
it looks like an early 2000's game and reviewers seemed to disregard it's faults where as other games get shitt on for the same problems.

this is why i believe the same game under a different name would be an 8/10 at best.
oh yeah, the story was a masterpiece.

[Imalwaysright]

Notice how this sampsonon person didn't give a reason...

[sampsonon]

@Imalwaysright: the combat wasn't that enjoyable compared to other open world games. Lag was an issue at times. i thought the art style is one gen too late. where the hell is the story?
the console is weak.

is that better?

[gamer7804]

after playing alot more Spiderman, I'll get disagrees for saying this, but this game is really average, but put Spiderman on it and people love it.

[Razzer]

Definitely disagree there. It is the best Spider-man game ever made and was a great experience, imo. I'm agreeing with others who say Zelda: BoTW. I certainly had more fun playing Spidey than that game. But to each their own. Not everyone is meant to like the same games.

[Araragifeels]

Well the only bad thing about Spider-Man PS4 is the boss fight (too easy even on the highest difficulty) and story DLC (each dlc felt very short and rushed but the first dlc is more interesting than the rest).

[Atomicjuicer]

Amazing spider man 2 on ps3 is the best and I’ve played them all including the new one.

The camera and character movement style are still the best in the amazing Spider-Man 2. You jump off a building and you can see the soles of Spider-Man’s feet up close and it’s cinematic and elegant.

The new one is way too snappy and combat orientated for me.

[gamer7804]

Thanks for disagreeing but being respectful, my friend really loves it as well.

[ClayRules2012]

Hey, don’t worry about disagrees. It happens to all of us here and there.

I respectfully disagree, but I have no issue with you feeling that way. I think it’s a great game, and a real solid first step for Insomniac to far beyond this with the sequel, I assume on PS5. I have a few issues with the game myself, but I personally don’t think it’s just average.

[tryson7688]

I agree. It's definitely fun and the main missions and the story are great. Other than that it's just another "ubisoft-like" open world saturated with filler content outside of the main story.

[NXFather]

Yeah and the average critic score bore that truth out. Only decent fight was against rhino and scorpion.

[Rimeskeem]

if that game is average than most games are shit LUL

[PhantomTommy]

Uncharted 4. I thought we were supposed to hate walking simulators?

[WickedLester]

Clearly you dont know what a walking simulator is.

[Araragifeels]

I can understand driving a car simulator but the game didn't feel like a walking simulator.

[Rimeskeem]

That was like one level.....

[81BX]

You take that back sir! Uncharted 4 is a classic

[Skankinruby]

Lol walking simulator? Do you even know what that means? Uncharted 4 had some the be best gameplay and storytelling this whole gen.

[DaDrunkenJester]

Agreed, easily the weakest of the series for me.

1. Overly long story for no reason. Added a ton of slow repetitive exploration fluff to pad timing.
2. Was too many "lift me up to this ledge and I'll drop a box or rope for you" moments... like back to back to back.
3. Shoved in relationship drama, booo.
4. Forced in brother angle.
5. Bad story telling by introducing a gameplay mechanic in a flashback sequence.
6. They removed all the mysticism the series is known for having.
7. Terrible boss and end boss fight.

[FalconofLucis98]

just your unpopular opinion mate, those are some bad nitpicks. Game got 93 on metacritic, rightfully so.

[Nintentional]

Any Uncharted game*

[NXFather]

Exactly bro.

[Imalwaysright]

I consider TloU a masterpiece but I don't understand why everyone "salivates" when Uncharted is mentioned. I think that they're entertaining games but far from being the masterpieces that everyone claims they are.

[oasdada]

Lol u haters try so hard its not even funny.. This happens when u have a bunch of salty crows sitting in a nest hating on a game uve never played.. Do ur self a favor and actually play uncharted and then talk.. Walking simulator ROFL

[EmperorDalek]

The praise for that game was proof PS4 fanboys love walking simulators. Then they turn around and say Red Dead 2 was too slow... such nonsense.

[GameStallion]

Yes. Uncharted’s combat was so bland. I also hate it’s cover mechanics. Like a cheap knockoff of Gears of War.

[bluefox755]

For me, it's RDR2. I still haven't put that much time into yet, but so far my impressions haven't been close to matching the hype. Hopefully that changes.

[goldwyncq]

I felt the same in the beginning but after finishing the story, I can say without doubt that it is by far the best open world game I've ever played.

[Elwenil]

I was very "meh" about it until about chapter 4, then it really started getting to me. After that, I was hooked and was wishing there was more. But I can honestly say, it does get off to a slow start and there are many times in the story in the beginning that it feels more like a chore than a game. It still has crap controls but the story makes up for it by the end. Stick with it, it's worth it.

[EazyC]

This is NOT an unpopular opinion, tons of people don't like RDR 2.

Something like TLoU or Uncharted is more deserving because they are ardently defended by everyone. RDR 2 is fundamentally a divisive game.

[Good-Smurf]

To me it's GTA V it's pretty forgettable GTA game there's zero memorable moment in that game,I think trailers are better than the final game considering how hyped I was for it.
Terrible pacing and empty worlds with less interactivity than its predecessors,GTA Online is so grindy and soulless that I gave it up after 3 hours in not to mention shark cards and no story DLC.
I was be able to keep enjoy all the previous GTA games well after I finished its story but not with GTA V.
And the worst part of all it won Game of The Year 2013.
How can they chose that over The Last of Us!?

[goldwyncq]

Pretty sure most GOTY awards went to TLOU that year.

[Orionsangel]

For me it's games like Nier Automata, Bayonetta and the DMC series. Where you fight waves of enemies over and over again and that's the whole game. I don't understand why that gets hype. For me it's tiring and boring. I like exploration and discovery in my games with yes some combat. Games like Tomb Raider, the new God of War, AC Odyssey, RDR2 fit the bill. I think the Japanese are still stuck on the whole waves and waves of enemies over and over again games for them that makes a good game. Like old Arcade games from the late and early 90's.

[pietro1212]

Have you never played an action game before? That's the whole point to them.. beat the crap out of enemies on various difficulties with great gameplay.

[Orionsangel]

Whenever I see a notification of a response on N4G my first thought is, what did I say now? lol!

[Lighter9]

A lot of JRPGs. Having said that, I'm actually liking Fire Emblem Echoes.

[GreatHaloChief]

That's true lol So many "like" a game except they have only played like 2 hours of it lol

[Lighter9]

Yep. I've played lots of JRPGs like Disaega 5, that game where you're a young king with cat ears I think, plenty FF games, Nier: Automata, Xenoblade Chronicles, etc., and I didn't like them. At least I tried though.

[VTKC]

Street fighter 5. Game is garbage from day 1. People still defend it even all the bullshit grinding to unlock characters or pay real money.

[PlayableGamez-]

The Witcher III even though I think it's a good game.

[Vetalka83]

RDR2 to me was the most boring thing ever.

[ClayRules2012]

It's certainly not for everyone.

[Rimeskeem]

I wish critics would say that instead of just giving it a 10 cause ROCKSTAR UWU

[CDbiggen]

To me it felt like if I was going to play it, I'd need to dedicate at least 2 hours at a time to get any satisfaction or flow going as everything was such an effort. And faced with that, I barely played it. I'll get round to it one day.

[Vanfernal]

Kingdom Hearts... The story for those games is an unnecessarily convoluted mess with 3 main titles and about 4 times that amount of spin offs that just keep adding to that mess. It's like the emperor's new clothes. KH fans just pretend to understand the story but in fact have no idea what's going on XD.

[isa_scout]

I love KH and totally agree. I've even watched the KH mini movie and got on wiki to try to understand the stories. If I need to YouTube hours of fan explanations you've failed as a story teller. Japanese games try to be complex(I'm looking at you to Metal Gear Solid) but really it just makes the devs look like cracked out wannabe writers. Honestly,after all these years I still couldn't tell you what a Heartless is....lol. I only play KH for the combat and Disney characters.

[Omnislashver36]

Having something that is hard to explain doesn't make it bad writing though. You understand Heartless are created from the darkness in people's hearts- that's all there really is to it.

Do we need an allegory for everything going on? I mean we could have hate, lust, destruction, etc all be fleshed out but we already kind of have enemies for that in the series and try to keep it PG-13. Heartless are the cronies pretty much.

It would be interesting to see them produced by specific people/emotions but I feel that would be way too hardcore for Disney- and they kind of scratch the surface of that as it is. Vanitas and the Unversed kind of goes through this and they're proto-heartless.

[isa_scout]

No, but it being needlessly convoluted makes the story bad. I actually took writing classes and that's writing 101.

[Omnislashver36]

I mean most people can grasp what's going on. I'm gonna have to just disagree with you on that. There's a huge fanbase that enjoys a story that's easy to grasp as you play it or stream it but hard to explain without an outline.

And writing 101/other writing classes, seriously? How pretentious can you get?

That doesn't make a story good or bad. Entirely subjective and I think sales and fanbase speak otherwise. I think the only wannabe writer here might be you.

[TheGamez100]

Very true. I know whats going on with the main story but man....the moment they made union cross important also, I just dont care for and want to waste my time playing that mobile trash to understand it. Chain of memories and 358/2 confused the crap out of me and to this day having played the games since kh1 and a fan of the series, there are still areas Ive no idea whats going on lol.

[Kabaneri]

I was pretty disappointed with Wolfenstein 2. Far Cry 5 accomplished the same thing without political activist grandstanding the whole game. Killing Nazis is good and all, but the game's message was very anti-white.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Triggered 45 supporter

[Sophisticated_Chap]

Four more years!

[LoveSpuds]

The fact that you perceived a game portraying nazis as evil as some sort of political slight against you tells me more about you than it does about the game.

I love Wolfy 2, except in respect of the difficulty, I'd have loved the opportunity to replay the game to go for the Platinum but it was the most difficult game I have played in years.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Bravo sir...you don't have to say much to say it all sometimes.

[Kabaneri]

Typical leftist response, label anyone who slightly disagrees with your sick agenda a nazi.

[LoveSpuds]

Typical response from an illiterate Kabaneri, I haven't labelled anyone (until now of course). You clearly haven't comprehended what was said old bean, I simply stated that, if you are insulted or upset at the negative portrayal of nazis in Wolfy 2, then you might want to ask yourself why.

It is interesting to me however, that people who lean to the right like to throw labels like 'leftist' around and take offence simply because someone enjoyed shooting fictional nazis in a fictional world and who is pretty comfortable with the idea that nazis, real otherwise otherwise, are scum.

[lillekolibri]

Fallout 76

[KyRo]

Fallout in general. Horribly built games.

[81BX]

Spiderman

[Obelisk92]

Agree.
Way overhyped.

[ANIALATOR136]

Persona 5 for me. I love the whole UI aesthetic and the soundtrack but the game is boring to me. Too much pressing x reading pointless speech bubbles

[Obelisk92]

Certainly not appealing to people who don't like JRPGs.

Legit opinion but I freaking loved the game. Beated it two times (over 200 hours) and never got bored.

[DerekTweed]

It's not really my type of game and I always thought it was way over hyped. I got it on sale and gave it a go.

I loved it, I only had one play though of about 107 hours or so. It's a long game and not much happens a lot of the time but it was really fun for me.

However, I can see how you could find it boring.

[Lingonbak]

Has to be the bethesda RPG:s. The only one I have remotely liked is Fallout 3

[KyRo]

Yesssss! Except for the writing, the games are average at best.

[ginsunuva]

Nier Automata 10000%

Honorable Mentions: Tomb Raider (reboot), Assassin's Creed, Gears of War

[Last_Boss]

Destiny & Overwatch

[Arty84]

Pretty much all weeb games

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Final Fantasy XV simply cause it’s Final Fantasy.

[nommers]

^Yep, that's about as coherent as the arguments are against it.

[Silly Mammo]

Monster Hunter World. Put in about 20 hours and just couldn't get into it. I kept thinking something more would happen.

[DVAcme]

While I adore MHW, I totally see where you're coming from, since you're not the first person I know to have problems with the game. MHW is SERIOUSLY an overwhelming game to get into, with its ridiculous amount of game systems. Even hundreds of hours into the game, it'll continue to throw new crap at you that keeps complicating it.

[Nacho_Z]

Purely in terms of gameplay, not story, I thought The Last of Us stank. I found it so painfully dull to play that I can't imagine how so many people apparently genuinely enjoyed it. I was really let down by it going into it on the wave of hype it rode on.

[Skankinruby]

Its called substance, if you just wanna mash buttons and blow shit up then no, TLOU isn't for you. But the gameplay was perfect for what the game was intended to be.

[Nacho_Z]

I like loads of games with substance. Just not that one.

[Youngindy21]

The TLOU was a great game. Stop it.

[Nacho_Z]

Great story maybe, great game no. Not for me. I do apologise though I know how precious fans of TLOU are about it.

[ArchangelMike]

Yeah you have to have a much more measured approach to the gameplay of TLOU. If you approach it like a run-and-gun third person shooter, than you'll be sorely dissappointed, since the game is not designed to be played that way. Naughty Dog struck an almost perfect balance between the story, the gameplay and the pacing of the game, they are all intricately linked to the gameplay experience.

[Nacho_Z]

It's got nothing to do with approaching it like a run and gun shooter, I'm not some mindless person who only plays fast paced games with explosions every few seconds. I play plenty of slow paced games. I just didn't like the gameplay of TLOU which I think of as a brick throwing sim. It was boring.

[ajax17]

I loved the gameplay, but they could've done more with the melee

[Movefasta1993]

i agree with you, the first half of the game was boring as hell for me. I liked the story but the gameplay was dull, the level design was basic and the regular enemies weren't special or the bosses except the one with ellie near the end. Overrated . Uncharted 2 is a way better naughty dog game because it's fun

[SixFragz]

Although I am a fan, I do believe that people pretend to like Dark Souls games.

They are great games, but I believe there are people who are full of crap when they say they like those games.

It's as if they want to give off a certain image, like being a hardcore gamer, or whatever it may be.

[Skankinruby]

I get the exact feeling whenever there's a drool fest for bloodborne. A fun game but some people talk like it was revolutionary.

[GameStallion]

That’s because it was.

[LoveSpuds]

No disrespect squire, but it could be that the games are simply that popular, they are utterly fantastic in my opinion (you can check out my trophies to check if I legitimately like them or not chief).

[DerekTweed]

This is the first comment that actually answer the question in the title. everyone else just named games they thought were over rated, over hyped or games they didn't like.

[Skankinruby]

GTA 5, not a horrible game but light years away from the phenomenon it became. Soulless campaign, obnoxious characters with no identity or purpose other than to be as vulgar as possible. Online multiplayer and making multiple protagonists is the only thing I can see that was an actual improvement, but my God that games success is about as offensive as Justin Biebers popularity.

[GameStallion]

Well said.

[twiggytree12]

Forza

[DerekTweed]

Forza Horizon in particular. The strange thing is (most) fans of Forza Motorsport don't like horizon.

It's not a real racing game to them. It seems to be quite popular but in the console pissing contest, Forza Horizon is the xbox boys only real quality game they can boast about.

disclaimer: I am an Xbox gamer mainly and I own Forza 4, 5, 6 and 7 as well as Forza Horizon 2, 3 and 4

[twiggytree12]

Agreed, I love both Motorsport and Horizon Personally. The franchise sways me to get an Xbox every generation.

[C-H-E-F]

Fortnite,cod,2k

[DaDrunkenJester]

Horizon Zero Dawn for me. By all accounts and purposes it should be a game I love. It hits a lot of the checkboxes that I love for open world games and games in general. In almost all RPG's I play as a stealthy archer. I think I found that robot dinosaurs just weren't engaging enough. I'm not a huge fan of robots as enemies anyway so that may be why. Also, some of the mechanics needed work. The stealth made the game incredibly easy and the hand 2 hand combat was very weak. But on 2 seperate occasions I had really tried to get into it, and I got further the second time, but ultimately moved on to something else again.

[MasterCornholio]

Some of the ones that claim that they enjoy Fallout 76.

[GameStallion]

Are you fishing for likes? Everyone knows that game is trash.

[MasterCornholio]

There are those that heavily defend it. Also getting Agrees on N4G doesn’t do anything.

[InTheZoneAC]

several xbox/pc exclusive games. I get the impression these people either are lying about their enjoyment or intentionally limit themselves to only these "xbox console exclusives" so they really have no idea what they're missing out on.

for nintendo games, it would be breath of the wild

[DerekTweed]

I feel the same about playstation exclusives

[georgenancy]

RDR 2, RDR 1, GTA 4

[InTheZoneAC]

rdr 1 and rdr 2 are very fun games. GTA 4 was also good, mainly because of Niko Bellic. It was overrated in terms of what it offered and driving was terrible (floaty boat mechanics), but I enjoy the characters and story.

[Monkeycan8]

No only GTA V is the acceptable answer

[DigitallyAfflicted]

It’s "the last of us" game play is repetitive and boring, only story is good

[babadivad]

Every encounter is a nail bitting puzzle. There was no one way to clear the enemies. It made every encounter unique.

[DigitallyAfflicted]

Sorry mate,I did find game play boring. Just didn’t enjoy it

[LoveSpuds]

Agreed, I loved the gameplay, especially on the harder difficulties where firing your gun even once was a monumental decision. Without being big headed, I got so damn good on this game, luring out single enemies and dispatching them silently just never got old for me.

It is a game that favours this slow, methodical approach so I can see it being boring or frustrating if that isnt your cup of tea.

[ShockUltraslash]

Red Dead redemption?
Everyone and their dog pretends they like the game.

[DerekTweed]

You mean the first one?

It does seem to be fashionable to love the first one and fashionable to hate the second one.

I think it is more about a nostalgic longing to return to the older time of video games when things were simple.

[Hellbound1978]

It has to be Dark Souls or games like like it. Being reamed over and over without lube, yet people praise it. I tried it and it was miserable, the grind/difficulty and cheap deaths reminded me of 80's arcade games like Ghosts N Goblins. That kind of artificial difficulty wasn't fun then and it isn't now, at least coin-ops had an excuse (more quarters). I await the 'git gud' and 'scrub' comments ;)

[Leeroyw]

Git.... Nah. I love those games but I also hate them at times.

Fair point.

[GameStallion]

They really are shockingly and obtusely hard at first. You just have to keep playing them and eventually you’ll get better and they’ll set you on such an engrossing, wonderous journey you’ll feel bad for people that never got into them.

[LoveSpuds]

I am not being contrarian here squire, but I never found them unbearably difficult personally, you just needed to be methodical. I would say I am an averagely good game player, maybe with more patience than some, but certainly I am not endowed with ninja like reflexes and I got so much satisfaction from all of the From Software games.

[coolastheycome]

Fortnite. That game is so boring to me. I love multiplayer games but battle royal games don't do it for me

[good_sk8er]

Just because you don't enjoy a game and can't see why people love it doesn't mean they are pretending to enjoy it themselves.

[starchild]

^This

[FunAndGun]

RDR2....not even close.

[babadivad]

Tales of Symphonia. It is the lesser of other games in it's on series. Particularly Tales of the Abyss.

Tales of the Abyss came out fairly close to Symphonia and it has a better story graphics MUCH better combat and more interesting characters.

Symphonia was so cookie cutter for a JRPG. No surprises.

I will never for the life of me understand how THIS particular Tales game has been hailed as "the greatest of the series". It's baffling.

My best guess for this high praise is the fact that it came out on GameCube, it didn't have a huge initial audience. So people hyped it up as a game they wished they'd played because they heared it was "so good".

Damn this post went on WAY longer than I intended.

Bottom line if a new comer to the series wants to play a Tales game from that era, Abyss is the clear choice.

[Iloveherliezz]

Symphonia was my first big Jrpg and first game I ever bought as a kid with my own money. I loved that game and had 120+ hours of play time saved on my GameCube memory card. So I disagree but I've never played Abyss so I can't compare the two.

[Ruegrong]

Gone home, game is complete trash. Yet people like it

[Hellbound1978]

True, I bought this game during a sale without doing my homework. I thought it looked like a horror/mystery, boy was I wrong.

[babadivad]

Metal Gear Solid. Yeah I said it!! As the series went on, it was like Kojima was trolling fan base like ; " how ridiculous can I make this story and see if people will still praise it and me as a story telling god??"

[Youngindy21]

Bloodborne. I just couldn't get into that game and I tend to like hard games, but that game was just weird. My 2nd choice would be the Red Dead series.

[L30N4KU]

I think FALLOUT 3 is an outstanding game, some people truly love it and rightfully so. But a lot of people pretend to like it.

[DrumBeat]

Fallout 3 was superb. Fallout 4 was OK.

[StormLegend]

Zelda BOTW. People act like it's the best game ever made and they give the dumbest reasons why. It's ridiculous when other open world games do them better with more content. It's a good game but not even close to GOTY or even A 90 review score rating.

[SegaGamer]

I can't imagine why anybody would pretend to like a game, I do think a lot of games get massively overrated though.

[Dragonslave]

I do not know about other people, but I don't pretend to like any game. If I don't like it i don't play it. I may be more willing to overlook flaws on a game I like, but won't pretend like is a perfect game if it has flaws.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

God of War 4 is my pick. There's no way that you can take a legendary established game franchise, with gameplay that made it the best hack & slash game ever made, and then turn it into a walking simulator, where you throw an axe, while you protect your child. Brand loyalty was hard at work with reviewers and PlayStation gamers alike. People have made themselves believe that Sony Santa Monica can do no wrong.

[franwex]

I agree 1 million percent with you. I think people are scared to admit that god of war isn’t that good. Specially in this site.

[pietro1212]

I'm sorry the GoW series aren't the best hack & slash games especially not when DMC 3, 4, Bayonetta 1, 2 and Ninja Gaiden Black exists.
As for GoW its the best in the series.

[Lilrizky]

Sony Santa Monica can do wrong. Evident by God of War Ascension's multiplayer

i was honestly worried that swapping the axe would hurt the formula but it improved it imo.

[URNightmare]

HALO!!!

[nucky64]

sea of thieves (at launch)

[_FantasmA_]

Halo, Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Uncharted, The Last of Us, GTA 5, Fortnite. Only Black Ops was good/balanced and fun.

[_FantasmA_]

Also Bloodborne. It's good, but not as good as everyone says it is. The story shouldn't be buried the way it as the there should some meaningful NPC interaction instead of just talking to someone through a door/window and not being able to see their lips move when you actually do see a character model. I have the platinum for it, but I still don't have a clue as to most of the story, or the even the reason for my character showing up in Yharnam. The graphics, sound, soundtrack, weapons, and atmosphere are amazing and it's a really unique game but I feel people gave it high marks because of the developers. 8/10.

[DrumBeat]

Bloodborne was a special game for a few reasons. One being that is was the first Souls game to essentially buck the traditional DS experience by means of lore, combat, healing, and visuals. Bloodborne's story was completely detached from the Souls universe (even if the Souls games) aren't really connected to each other in story.

The bosses were kicked up a notch in terms of behavior, cloth and hair physics, etc. Yarnham was an incredibly detailed gothic Disney-land with great level design to boot. The Chalice Dungeons were also superb with some bosses not found in game's main story line, and they were tough. Loved the whole game. Badass boss characters like Gherman and Father Gascoigne. "Beasts all over the shop."

Bloodborne and Witcher 3 are easily my games of the generation.

[Iloveherliezz]

Fallout and Elder Scrolls. Most people who say they are fans are done with these games in 20hrs or less. These games are made to be played like 60hrs or more. I can't think of any games people pretend to like more than those. Slap in pretty much any popular rpg as the runnier up to these. Then I'd add COD because only like 5% of the player base really likes it the rest of us play it because it's one of the easiest games to jump into and pass some time with.

That's my opinion. I've pored so much time into The Witcher 3 (so I cannot agree with pretending to like it) that playing any open world game tires me out before I even really start.

[Kainbrightside]

This whole comment section is an echo chamber. Any Sony game mentioned gets ton of downvotes any other game has tons of upvotes especially Nintendo.

[AK91]

I have zero idea of what other people think but I have A LONG list of (imo) vastly overrated games:

Breath of the Wild
Witcher 3
Gears of War series
Mortal Kombat/Injustice series
Pokemon
Super Mario Sunshine
Halo 3 SP campaign
Dark Souls 2
God of War 3

There are more but this is all I can think off from the top of my head.

[Father__Merrin]

smash bros

[BenRC01]

Resi 4. Great at the time, pile of clumsy nonsense compared to modern games and especially re7

[DVAcme]

I loved RE4 when it came out, but I agree with you, that game has NOT aged well. It was revolutionary, though, and I'm HYPED for REMake 2.

[Soy]

Souls games - not because they're bad/overrated, but so many people don't wanna be told they just suck at gaming or they're not real gamers.

[Shinox]

RE7 99999999% times .. suspiciously got a free pass from most fake hypocrites
............. and Nier Automata

[Wha_gwaan]

Call of duty

[jukins]

I go to the gym alot with a basketball court those dudes swear they like straight out of nba2k and 99 ovr when they're really not

[oasdada]

For me its hell blade.. Was so excited about that game, felt really good when it ran like a dream on the pc, but then after a few hours im like thata it? Same repetative combat which by the way i fot good in a matter of minutes, lousy repetative puzzles that gave me headaches and a story so mind numbingly bland and simple that just made me question all of journalism for calling it deep when all it did was have ageneric story with random voices echoing from time to time.. Like if that is celever game design then this makes me think none of u who thought this game was deep ever truly understood gone home, what remains of edith finch or inside to name a few.

[ziggurcat]

Sea of Thieves.

[franwex]

Right now probably God of War for PS4 or red dead 2 is what comes to mind.

[WitcheRivia]

Any Kingdom Hearts game after the 1st one.

[BuildTheWall]

I can't think of just one game but in my opinion I would have to say that it would be the Call of Duty games.

[Goodkush]

Rdr2 for me.

[EmperorDalek]

Horizon Zero Dawn. Terrible script, facial animations (looked as bad as Andromeda at times), ordinary gameplay. It was no better than Far Cry Primal.

Uncharted 4. It was so painfully slow with a story with so many issues. Two things that prove how bad it was for me - It was the only Uncharted I couldn't bring myself to replay, unlike the others which I beat three times each at least. The slow pace just killed replayability. The combat was weaker than past games, which is why the multiplayer was terrible.

Every Assassin's Creed. Literally every single one. Even Black Flag was ruined by AC mechanics, despite having the most potential in the series.

Witcher 3. Story was weaker than the first two, combat was awful, which resulted in the RPG elements not being all that exciting to deal with. People complain about Red Dead 2's controls, yet Witcher 3's were far worse, and no one complains.

All Battlefields past Bad Company 2, they completely lost the plot with BF3. 4 was okay but 1 and V were terrible, and completely missed what made classic Battlefields so good.

[RoseSapphire]

World of Warcraft

[xenz]

Respektfully disagree

[lociefer]

I'll get tons of sh*t but i'll say it: the souls series. Some (but not all ppl) play it and force themselves to like it because "look at me im a hardcewre gaimir", but i dont just see the appeal, i finished demon souls and half dark souls 1 and that was it, wasn't fun at all for me

[GameStallion]

Resogun.

[Hedstrom]

Red dead 2! Its an well done game, but i just dont find it fun to play :(

[Chocoburger]

Assassin's Creed Origins and Assassin's Creed Odyssey are at the top of the list.
Its funny how everyone was hating on AC from Revelations (2011) through Syndicate (2015), but now all of a sudden, people like the series again? Even though the games are worse than ever before?

The lore is dead. The combat is still trash (its certainly changed but it still sucks). The character I'm most interested in is reduced to about 10 minutes of actual playtime, the endings aren't satisfactory. All we're left with is a massive and beautiful open world with zero interesting things to do in it except for grind out hundreds of mini location checklists.

The series has hit rock bottom, the games are shamelessly clearly being shoved out the door for profit without giving the player anything valuable in return, and yet the fan base is loving the dreck they're being fed, its embarrassing.

[Bismarn]

Life.

[thelaughingwiseman]

Metal Gear Solid 4. That shit was like 4 hours worth of cinematics. Gameplay was always stalled whenever a scene played. Also, the story was just too much. Compare the story to MGS1. MGS1 you were able to step into the shoes of Snake and the story was explained in the first 5-10 minutes; You are a retired ex-agent of some secret US organization, you are selected to infiltrate a rogue base, save the president, and disarm nuclear weapons. Simple, simple (although the plot was mainly influenced by Escape from New York). And it was like perfect to phase his back story into it as well. MGS4, god knows what the hell was going on and where they wanted to go with the ending.

[plmkoh]

"You are a retired ex-agent of some secret US organization, you are selected to infiltrate a rogue base, save the president, and disarm nuclear weapons."

Except that's not the story of MGS1.....that's just the story blurb or context.

Explains why you didn't like MGS4.

[moomoo319]

That game really did require some patience and preferably a fat doink on hand. Even meeting the black guy with the monkey was like a movie length cutscene, and he just sold you items! lmao. Still a great game but definitely an acquired taste. Kojima at his zaniest imo

[Miss_Vixen]

Breath of The Wild for me. I really tried to like it but I just couldn't get into it like the previous Zelda games.

[cellfluid]

Sea of thieves.

[pietro1212]

Was it really overhyped? I see it get nothing but hate.

[gangsta_red]

For me it was Spider-Man. I wanted to love the game, was looking forward to the game, put Divinty 2 to the side for the game.

Read all the comments, and glowing reviews and being a super hero fan I went in with no warning bells at all.

But soon after while things just weren't catching my attention for long. And then the game just didn't hold my interest at all. I seriously wanted to like it but I found myself skipping the cut the many cinematic cut scenes just so I could get back to the gameplay.

And then after a while I just didn't care about it anymore and moved on. Was disappointed especially after reading all the hype about the game too, definitely wanted to get in on the praise but found myself on the opposite side of it.

[NXFather]

GTA 4 and Spiderman PS4.

[Rimeskeem]

RDR2

[pietro1212]

Metal Gear Solid 4 and MGS5. Only they're weakest of the franchise for me.

[Deathdeliverer]

Any Halo games campaign. Multiplayer is a blast depending on the Halo but the campaign has always sucked. Story, voice acting (except Cortana sometimes), etc.

2nd would be the fable series. You could always see potential but it was never reached. It was always a decent game at best.

[moomoo319]

Bruh Spider-Man 2 on ps2 !! When the new spidey came out that's all anyone talked about lmao. I was pretty young when that series came out I played the first one and loved it, but im not gunna pretend i beat Spidey 2 over and over and marvelled over the webswinging as a 7 year old haha

[Doge]

Toss up between Skyrim and FF VII. Skyrim is just boring as hell, and FF VII is honestly nowhere near as good as IX.

[memots]

Dark Soul

[DasTier]

Witcher 3 or Breath of the wild.

Maybe even one of the N64 trinity; Goldeneye, Mario 64 or Ocarina of time.

[SovereignSnaKe]

Fallout (but 76 has finally brought the chickens home to roost) then honorable mention for Red Dead Redemption and Nier. Both are ridiculously boring and I made it to the third playthrough of Nier (don't ask me how.)

[2ndhandcorn]

Pretty much everything but Forza lmao.

[BadElf]

Super Mario Galaxy is one for sure.

It is one of the least "3D Mario" feeling main Mario games! Never understood the craze over it.

Not quite the same, but it would be like people going crazy over Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts and calling it an awesome 3D Banjo Adventure...ooof

[Segata]

Anything from David Cage.

[Casepb]

Red Dead Redemption 2. It's so boring.

[nommers]

Everybody's just posting every praised game that ever existed now. Fanbases be warring.

[DarkKaine]

League of Legends anyone?
The game itself is absolute garbage.
I fail to see what's so fun about a raging team full of SJWs that are preying like vultures to report you for saying anything bad.
People dislike it so much that the majority of players just afk in game, especially if the match goes on forever.
Ask anyone what their favorite game is, nobody will tell you it's league, despite having spent most of their time on that pos. Is it because everyone plays this game and it can run on a toaster?
I'll probably never understand, and I'm not sure if i even wanna.

[Tross]

That changes all the time, but I'm going to assume that currently Fortnite is one of the top contenders for the game that even those who don't like pretend they do. Thus is the nature of trends. Of course, beyond fads there are so many games from past and present that are and will forever be considered masterpieces in the eyes of many, and if there are any that someone doesn't care much for, some individuals will likely opt to pretend otherwise lest they face social persecution. However, there are too many such titles to list here and they're all on relatively equal ground in that regard, so I'll just go with the current fad as my answer. As for which title or titles I personally don't care much for but pretend to like anyways, that is a secret I'll take to my grave.

[Zenbaby369]

It's obviously Fortnite? I mean how many kids play it just to fit in? It isn't even close..

[NukeDaHippies]

Final fantasy 15 and Diablo 3.

FF 15 was unfinnished....it's combat is a mess, it's story is a mess, it's world feels empty and lifeless. Everything the game does, it fails at.... especially the driving.

Diablo 3 felt so dumbed down compared to the second. Skill tree was butchered, combat was boring and the game just looked like WoW. Gone, was the dark fantasy art style.

And don't get me started on legendarys, and the auction house.

[Kubark]

I don't know if this is people pretend to like this game "the most" but I suspect the fanboys on here are pretending to like The Order 1886. Quicktime boss fights and not a lot of gameplay sounds like a mediocre game at best.

[Melankolis]

I'd be honest i don't like MGS2 that much, but i had to play it before i play (the hyped) MGS4. And MGS4 is a true masterpiece.

[ButchKween]

Injustice 1 and 2. I tried so hard to like these fighting game as I'm a huge mortal kombat and fighting game fan. I felt these games SUCKED. it was way too zone heavy and severely unbalanced. The combos felt awkward, like many moves didnt connect and the combat was just bizarre. Give me MK, DOA, Virtua Fighter anyday.

[Edito]

I think people force them selves to love Red Dead Redemption 2 but deep inside they don't lol...

[Artemidorus]

Any EA game in the last five years.

[Mroc13]

It's definitely Not MGS2. That was a great game. I beat it too many times to count. Even thought the story got a bit crazy the gameplay is awesome despite its camera limitations

[ApexWolf22]

Halo...

[Rrain]

Fallout honestly I tried 3 when it released and hated it, never saw the fuss, the quality of the games and the whole vat system, watching your rad etc. Was just a huge turn off the only other one I tried was 76 because I thought company would trump the negatives.

[TheEroica]

It is my honest belief that when anyone finishes an Uncharted game they genuinely feel like they didn't get their money's worth.... They may not say it or whisper it to a friend, but they know Uncharted games are weak sauce and never worth the asking price.

[TheGamez100]

Skyrim, witcher 3, gta v, mario odyssey, nier automata, smash bros (besides melee/64), bayonetta, animal crossing, all of mgs, fallout, and plenty more I cant think of. Own these games, gave em multiple tries but....just cant stick to them.

[uth11]

The Last of Us. boring!

if it wasn't an exclusive, i don't think it would be nearly so highly regarded.

[FloydianAndroid]

metal gear solid (story is every bit as nonsensical as the kingdom hearts games and controls are awful), dark souls, battle toads, uncharted series, and jrpgs.....(I’ll admit that last one is just a joke....kind of)

[ocelot07]

Got to be the Halo series for me. If I have to pick which one. Then Halo 3 hands down. I remember playing Halo 1 and 2 and them being good but noting amazing. Then I just remembered the hype for Halo 3 it was insane. Played and completed the same day on Legendary with a few friends. I couldn't get my head around why it was hyped so much or got amazing reviews. If I was not playing co-op with friends I probably would have just quit an hour into it and never played again.

The online MP was also pretty rubbish. Seemed so basic yet it was suppose to be this earth changing experience. Especially when COD MW released the same year.

[LucidIllusion]

Everybody now is your chance to attack those precious Playstation exclusives you're so afraid of!
