Undertale - It took a lot of pages off from Earthbound and just basically served as an example of what happens when you are nothing but fan-service.

Doom - There will be no arguments against the fact that Doom did set the FPS world on fire when it arrived. But, you can make an argument that overtime, there have been lots of very enjoyable FPS games that will give Doom a run for its money. I'm also a fan of Quake and I think Quake helped progress FPS in its own way. I really hate that Doom: The Dark Ages was pissed away when that could've been the Quake remake or continuation we'd all like to see. Instead, Quake died at Quake Champions, a very forgettable hero-shooter.

Pattern here: both of them had sick music.

Skyrim, until the mods came

[-] SilverFlame@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I remember playing Skyrim at launch. The very first mod I downloaded was to restore Esbern's voice lines; an npc critical to the main quest early on.

Bethesda forgot to reference his voice lines in the script, which broke the game.

Skyrim was extremely interesting when it was new because there wasn't anything quite like it, but now there's a lot of games that are like it and it's not that great and it's just kind of aged with mods or whatever

no I've never played it

The Last of Us part II demolished the prestige of The Last of Us. Its storytelling devastated the technical prowess of the company's workers. To date, Naughty Dog hasn't been able to produce any relevant game after circa The Last of Us. They produced part II which sold fine thanks to its predecessor, and they have made remasters and derivatives of the first game which is their milking cow.

Yet, part II has a following cult like flatearthers.

Boo this man

I had an extremely many hundreds of hours good time with this game during its era

Basically every Call of Duty. Copy paste of the previous game with new paint. Never saw the appeal, gameplay is boring, just twitchy, and so many cringe people seem to love it.

Skyrim. It's a broken mess of a game that's barely held together by duct tape and hope, and it would be treated as such if it wasn't for the modding community. Most of the game is fetch quests, and the magic system is just bad. Melee combat sucks, too. All one handed weapons feel the same, all the two handed weapons feel the same. The only actually interesting path of progression is the stealth archer, and I'm pretty sure that's an accident.

Probably the best sandbox ever made though, just a shit game.

EA sports/fifa.

I’ll play flappy bird over that any day.

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

They're video games for people who don't like videogames.

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Candy Crush and the million remakes from the same publisher. Stole the core mechanic from Bejeweled but designed to be addictive instead of fun.

Also how are you so shameless that you'll publish remakes of a game you stole in the first place?

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

A pretty hefty amount of popular mobile games were actually rips of flash games with microtransaction added lol.

[-] Jaegeras@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

Bejeweled will always remain as my definitive 3-match game. The only other coming close is Treasures of Montezuma 3 and 4.

The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. I found them both a chore to play. There's just something about CDPR's games I don't like.

Ocarina of Time. I mean, its good. But so many people act like its the best video game of all time. Its like barely top 5 Zelda game imo let alone the best game full stop

I'm ready for the downvotes

I never understood why Breath of the Wild was so beloved. I played through it and Tears of the Kingdom, but I really wonder if they would have been as well received if they didn't benefit from the Zelda franchise.


I found myself getting annoyed with the game more often than excited. I very quickly became annoyed encountering koroks, or shrines, or the stupid sign guy. I think the bevy of side quests and collectibles diluted too much of the narrative and enjoyment of the world.

[-] winkledinkle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

I'm also a botw hater. No Zelda dungeons, forces you to explore with shitty weapon health mechanic. I disabled that in the emulator and realized how pointless exploration was when you didn't need to replace your weapons. I'll give it the glider but every open world game has a glider now so there's better choices.

[-] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Botw is the worst thing to happen to games in years. I enjoyed it when it came out, thought it was a good game but bad Zelda game with it's lack of progression having a single toolset you get immediately.

But then everyone started copying it, Becoming open world games for no good reason, just to pad game length with travel and crafting whether or not it actually supports the central gameplay loop

[-] Surp@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

My problem with BOTW after enjoying many other Zelda games was that my weapons broke and for some reason I was never able to get past that which made me not enjoy the game and quit.
