Elden ring. Repetitive, ugly, boring. I don’t think I made it past the wasteland you start in but I never saw anything worth seeing and the dying over and over gameplay is frustrating for me, not fun. I played for a couple of hours and just gave up on it, i saw no progress or any story, just repetitive killing

Mario Kart World.

Soundtrack is 11/10. But they dropped the ball hard on the entire open world aspect. Completely wasted the entire potential.

Instead we get lame ass intermission tracks that count as the first two laps of the next race, so you don’t even get to enjoy the new and remade tracks during championships, because you’ll blink and miss them.

Dark Souls.

I played Demons Souls and it was awesome, but Dark Souls is so confuse, I couldn’t understand shit about the story, and it’s not that hard, harder than Demons Souls but no that hard.

Dark Souls is a 14 year old game

CodenameDarlen,

you’re probably right

Doom dark ages. Just upgraded my computer, and I thought ‘hey, I really liked 2016 and eternal, this’ll be great, and it’s got great reviews’. Nah, the whole game just felt…okay. I might try it again at some point and mess with the difficulty settings, but I felt like I was forcing myself to play it the whole way through.

normalexit,

I’m grinding through this one now. The graphics are great, and the game does feel like a modern doom, but the fun does seem to be lacking.

I’ll finish it, but don’t think I’d replay it.

favoredponcho,

I personally didn’t love the atmosphere of this game. Didn’t feel very doom like. The gameplay mechanics are also different, but I got used to them. The game is turning more and more into a rhythm game like DDR or Guitar hero where you need to do the right attack at the right time depending on what enemy you’re dealing with.

I’m still hoping that someday 1 and 2 will get decomps so fans can try their hand at it.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Unfortunately, we didn’t create enough art for Joseph Gordon Levett to sell so Volnutt is forever stuck on the moon and we will never get an aged up Tron Bonne outside of the internet.

I often stay away of new games because that exactly, the hype. If you play a new game and you say it sucks, everybody yells at you, but if you let past the time, it’s the time the one who gives reason to people.

In a lot of cases, the people who enjoyed it will have already said what they wanted to say about it, and then the detractors can just yell out the loudest. There’s a perception that BioShock Infinite was only praised because of release hype, and a lot of people look back at it unkindly for one reason or another, but I’ve seen a number of people experience it for the first time in just the past couple of years, unaware of any reputation it might have, and they loved it like we all did at launch.

@capuccino@lemmy.world avatar

This happened to me with Resident Evil 3 Remake, I didn’t knew that had so many haters behind but I really enjoyed the game. One thing to hate, they say, is the short duration of the game. I mean, you could beat the original game in 2 hours, if you didn’t knew nothing about the game, could take you like 7 or 8 hours

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I liked that one more than its reputation as well. In some ways, I liked it better than the 2 remake.

I always think it’s fascinating to see how the discourse around games evolves. It’s always most telling when people stop talking about a game at all. Remember Starfield? No one even talks about Starfield anymore, not even about how bad it may or may not have been. Just kinda flopped a bit and passed from memory.

I had to search “Bethesda space game” just now to even remember its generic name …

criss_cross,

I remember at the time it was getting all these awards. When I still had game pass I booted it up to see what it was all about. Dear god was it dull. All I remember is some dude comes out and is like “you had a space vision! Take my ship!” And I thought that was the most absurd way to start a game.

Butterpaderp,

Funny thing is, starfield would probably still be relevant if it didnt have paid mods

I was just talking to someone at a party about what games we’d been playing, and we also had to fully stop and think a while to remember the actual name of the Bethesda Space Game™.

One of my best gaming memories from way back.

Loved the first game. I still have my Max Payne mouse pad that came with it. Second one was alright. I don’t think I ever finished the third.

Neither. Both games were run into the ground.
If i had to pick one, id go for an x ( or game based on x and zero ) game that goes over the elf wars that ties the x games to the zero games

TallonMetroid,
@TallonMetroid@lemmy.world avatar

I was going to go for ZX3, but an Elf Wars game is an even better suggestion, which is why Capcom will never do it.

Killer,

Do you have a general reason? Giving the name of the game doesn’t do much when i don’t know why you didn’t like it.

Planet crafter - Holy shit is that game janky, ugly, badly designed etc.

Conan Exiles - I did enjoy it for a while, but it quickly becamse such a chore since so little is explained so you spend so much time having to look things up, and even then it’s often not obvious what to do. I payed solo, and there is a point where doing that just feels impossible, I ended up wanting to cheat to do some things and that’s a point I never cross so I just stopped playing.

I really want to play some game like those; survival with base building, exploration etc, But I think I’ve exhausted the list of ones that are good enough for me. I’ve played Minecraft, Terraria, Star Bound, Enshrouded, Subnautica, Grounded, Valheim, Satisfactory, Factorio, The Forest and more that I’m not remembering right now. There are some that are in early access that I’m interested in but I’ve stopped playing EA games, I now always wait till full release.

If anyone has any suggestions I’d be very happy, I’m craving something to dive deep into. I’m only interested in Single player games through, at least ones that can be played as such.

Soulmask. Its been phenomenal even in EA, and its about to fully release before the end of the year. Once Human is also fantastic and its free.

Black616Angel,

They are all centered around being the person executing the task. Have you tried Dwarf Fortress or alike games?

9bananas,

similar suggestion to BlackAngels: RimWorld?

sounds like you’d enjoy top-down gameplay more than 1st person, so might be something to try!

pro tip: try the base game first. the DLC are all good, but none are required!

edit: RimWorlds’ mod scene is also just incredible (some would probably call it non-credible too XD); there’s Project RimFactory if you want a more factorio-like playthrough! (although, fair warning, RimFactory is pretty damn OP, up to you how much you abuse it…)
