Games Everyone Else Loves, But You Just Can't Get Into

<< < (2/3) > >>

TomahawkLabs:
I don't have have time to sink into games so lore heavy games or games that you need to put 20-40 hours for it to "get good" are just off the table. I need a game I can pick up and play for 30-60 minutes. Maybe 90 on a good day, save and pick back up later. This removed almost any online games because I don't have the time to learn the game to get competitive enough to enjoy it.

I have been playing Hitman 3 because I can save as many times as I want and pick it up and set it back down as needed.

I guess it was Fallout for so many years for me.
I mean, I remember playing Fallout 1 and 2 for some time, but never finished it, like loads people did. Then any new iteration was just not cool for me.
Now, when I'm older, I think it would be nice to return to it and play 1 and 2 again, as those isometric versions were more interesting for me, not those FPP newer ones.
There are few more titles there that never pulled me in. But most annoying thing is that most games are repetitive grind-fests, you play for few hours, notice the pattern and drop it. This is my main problem.

blondie:
All competitive games (Call of Duty, Rocket League, Fortnite, etc.) and all Souls likes. The Last of Us.

Leslieann:
So many.

Sims gets old fast and OMG is it a money grab, go add up all the DLCs.
Sim City (and its ilk) is just tedious, monotonous, micro-management of a city... Snoooze.

I first played Fallout 3 and just couldn't get into it, I recently tried it again and just got bored a few dozen hours in. I love Fallout New Vegas, 4 and 76 and I actually do love the horror and story so it just baffles me that I keep getting bored of 3 but I do, maybe I'm just more casual with my gaming.

Battlefield, COD, etc. I won't even bother with Fortnight and such.
I liked these early on but as they added more and more players to each map it just became chaos. Then they added voice chat and made it worse, so much worse (rarely does it make a game better). The competition of it makes it even worse.

Adventure/puzzle/problem solving games where you have to figure out how to open random doors and or collect specific random stuff to progress (Myst is a good example). I love the idea but I completely overthink these every time or they simply just make no sense. And after writing that I now have zero desire to visit an escape room.
