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.
Terraria
Are you into minecraft? I'm working on the theory that people are into one or the other of those but not both
Bioshock. I tried the first game and liked the story and atmosphere, but got bored of the gameplay every time I've tried it
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.
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.
Almost all of them. The only real thing that I played with pure joy was Minecraft, Cities Skylines, Planet Coaster and Sims series. I think its pretty clear what games do I like.
Anything with story/ending I find them unbearably boring and tedious. I'll play Cities Skylines for hours though.
Those games are awesome, if you enjoy strategy games, I think you'd love the full catalog by Paradox Interactive
Anything Bethesda sadly. I want to like them, something about the control and movement is just so janky it’s not fun.
Weirdly, I love them. They're absolutely shallow main story wise but they do exploring and looting right which is the point of open world (for me!). The Witcher 3 or Red Dead Redemption 2 for example are great games, but I didn't enjoy them nearly as much as the arguably bad Fallout 3.
Baldur's Gate, Elder Scrolls and Divinity series all spring to mind. I really want to like those games, but the story just progress way too slow.
I loved Planescape: Torment though.
Fallout. I like the premise and I'll watch other people play it, but I just cannot get into the mechanics of that franchise. Something about VATS is just not enjoyable to me.
Pokemon. Never played one, never will. Hot take is it's a gateway into IRL hunting which is honestly just very cruel. Do not approve.
