All of them.

About 10 years ago, I was playing BioShock. It was fun, but I kept losing interest. Which was weird, because it was pretty much a game that was made for me - a pretty deep plot, a cool adventurous aesthetic, exploring and discovering different places on the map. I realized I was getting distracted thinking about all the other things I wanted to do - hanging out with my friends, figuring out how to talk to girls, studying so I could get good grades and a good job, learning all about things that interested me, going backpacking and rock climbing - and so I finished the game out of habit, and then set down the controller and didn't pick it back up for a while.

My last game was Red Dead Redemption, which I blasted through in a marathon play-through while spending a month crashing my sister's couch between semesters. My sleep schedule got all fucked, I ate like shit, and I felt like shit. Once I got to the end of the game, I packed up my XBox and put it in a box box. The next semester I sold it to get money to buy climbing gear.

Now I just do the Wordle.

At least you chose a fantastic game to go out on. RDR2 is like one of the most amazing games ever produced! I still go back to it when I run out of stuff to play despite beating the ever living hell out of it.

Thanks for sharing your story. It's interesting to hear about the feelings you had and the choices you made. Hope the climbing has been a blast!

Walking simulators
Something like outer wilds should be fine but i get easily annoyed from just running around
Even that i know that in some cases its very fast running around or something

[-] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 2 weeks ago

that's not really a franchise. and outer wilds is most definitely not one.

have you tried What Remains of Edith Finch? pinnacle of the genre.

Any of the big popular RPG series. I got through Mass Effect 2 (it was on offer for a quid) but have no desire to go back, and I know that’s one of the more action-based games. I also played Witcher 3 up to Skellig but just can’t bring myself to finish it.

Tried Minecraft multiple times. Can't stand the game. Weird part is that I absolutely love both Terraria and Vintage Story.

I found a huge surface vein of olivine in a peridotite cliff face earlier while searching for bauxite, only to realize that I was about 50 blocks to the east of the Resonance Archives entrance, which my world put in a damn near inaccessible valley between K2 and Everest.

If I can find some bauxite I have a ton of iron to make some steel and between that and my huge harvest of flax and honey, I will have honey sulfur poltices, and the eidolon should be a cakewalk.

Is Satisfactory a franchise? I just don't get it; it's a worse Factorio. It's poorly paced and it doesn't have the tools you need to build big, like priority splitters.

I found both Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect completely unplayable.

Same with me. Can't get into Pokémon. Love the show though. Same with zelda...super boring.

[-] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Grand Theft Auto

The whole concept is profoundly uninteresting to me

And I feel there is a fundamental tension between the enjoyable part of the games (Over-the-top city chaos with lots of explosions, often aided by cheats) and what the games WANT to be (serious crime dramas I think?)

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

The story of GTA is pretty good most of the time.

It is not dead serious, but a satire of the time and place the respective title is set in.

Animal crossing.

And back when this was a thing, Candy Crush.

[-] Baggie@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

I cannot do balders gate 3, or any rpg of that style. I suspect it's to do with trying to roleplay a character while simultaneously viewing them in that top-down third person perspective. I can do X-COM, strategy, I can do roleplay in third person, but that particular combination just kills it for me. It's bizarre.

Bioshock. I tried the first game and liked the story and atmosphere, but got bored of the gameplay every time I've tried it

[-] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

I love the first BioShock but couldn't get into the other two because it didn't feel like they took the gameplay anywhere new.

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

I tried factorio a while ago but couldn't get into it.

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I got completely addicted for about a week and a half and then dropped it and never thought about it again. The core gameplay loop is crack, but it's also very shallow and I can never think of a good reason to come back to it.

Basically any SRPG but if I had to choose one I would say Fire Emblem; this gente always leaves me bored with how long combat takes.

Though I am powering through, on easy, in Hundred Line Last Defense Academy because the story is that good.
