What universally beloved videogame you just can't enjoy?
2 picks for me: Stardew Valley, most boring shit ever, I don't see the appeal, seriously how the hell did that thing sold 20 million copies?
And Witcher 3, I own that game since 2019 and I regret buying it, funny thing is that I've finished Dragon Age 1 and 2, which are kinda same genre but I actually enjoyed those games. I guess the old BioWare sauce carried those games unlike Witcher where there's nothing to enjoy in its massive pointless world.

Elden ring yawwwwn.
It's beautiful, and it seems like an interesting world, but learning exactly how to dodgerollattack for every enemy with deliberately delayed reflexes is not my kinda fun.
I'll go ahead and say this also includes all "Souls-like" games for me.
Combat seems clunky, buggy, and unnecessarily difficult. I don't have a ton of time to play games, so when I do, I want it to be relaxing.
Very well said. I played with a buddy for like 50 hours before I admitted I just wasn't having fun.
I hear the lore's really interesting and some guy linked me a YouTube channel full of elden ring lore so I might look into that.
But playing it, not so much.
I don’t even think the lore is interesting. I played maybe 5 hours before giving up because my friend told me that the creator literally wrote the story and then had them scramble it up and remove sections so you’ll never ever get the actual full story. Then they proceed to hide it behind a bunch of meaningless drivel. Utterly stupid game to me.
That doesn't sound like engaging plot delivery on part of the creator, and the gameplay wasn't my style at all, although I did like the character, creature and world design and am interested to see how this guy presents the lore.
As it was introduced to me, it's a guy who enjoyed playing but really enjoyed the main story and wen into a deep dive connecting every little scrap of lore to put together a full history.
I like that kind of stuff, so I'll give it a whirl
