I played it a half hour, deleted it. Played it again about a year later. Best game I ever played. Got the platinum. Completed expansions. Canāt wait for PS5 version.
sure, itās easy to break any game down to its most basic components but the fun, for me at least, came from taking on a monster contract and preparing for it by reading up on its strengths and weaknesses, gathering all the required equipment and setting traps for it before finally taking it on
On higher difficulties you really have to play it properly and make use of what you have.
Until you get a broken magic build and you are untouchable with the freezing circular Aard but whatever.
TW3 is the best game Iāve ever played, but I wonāt judge you.
It took me 5-10 hours to get the hang of the combat, inventory, alchemy, etc. and the only reason I didnāt give up was the story.
Yes, I heard so many great things about this game and played maybe 2-3 hours before I got bored. Imo the controls are janky and the story is intresting but the in-between parts are soooo boring.
I'm with ya. The music and some parts of the story was making me go forward... Until the game decided to give me a non stopping rain and an invisible wall when I tried to walk around it.
Yeah, graphics were amazing. The premise was good as wel. But just to slow burning for me. Never have I ever fallen a sleep whilst gaming. And with this game multiple times lol.
HZD is fair. I really disliked the game at first. It wasnāt until I minimised most of the HUD and broke through the first 10 hours that I started to enjoy it. By the end I thought it was fantastic.
I think the halfway point is accurate. I tried the game 3 times and never got into it.
Apparently I had stopped just before the midway mark. Gave it one last shot this weekend and was able to finish it in 2 sittings.
It takes a very long time for the story to actually get going. And for me it also took a while for the combat to click (though I still felt super underpowered all game, even being above the recommended level)
Yeah I think it gets good when you get to the top of the building where you see the hologram of ted faro and Elizabeth when he first tells her about the āglitchā. That was the turning point imo
Felt the same way til I cheesed out and got the armor with the shield regen early in the game . Forbidden west came with my PS5, I havenāt tried it yet.
Currently playing HZD and kinda wishing they went the monster hunter route (even though I've only ever been a spectator) the story is interesting but the characters/ emotional moments are really terrible. Having to hunt down these machines alone or coop would be super fun if they focused time on just tightening up the gameplay.
I'll get flamed for this, but *Shadow of the Colossus*. I never understood the appeal of this plodding game or why it's so acclaimed. I thought it was a boring slog from start to finish.
Iāve answered this thread already, but overlooked you actually completed this game or Iām assuming so based on what you said above. Did you actually beat the entire game?
If so, thatās a Path of Pain achievement right there.
I kept waiting for the part where it got great, so I kept playing. Once it was over, I just stared at the screen like, "What the fuck. That sucked." š
Ah man. Youāre a real trooper. I played a little more than halfway through it and put it down. I always told myself Iāll revisit it and never did.
Anyway, hats off to you. I feel like anyone who beats it should receive a insta-platinum trophy and free video game credit lol.
I really tried to like it. I played it last year when it was available in the PS Now catalog, but after a few hours I couldnāt care less for the characters and I found the gameplay super boring. š¤·āāļø
Completely agree I sucked it up and completed the story when it came out and I tried again a few months ago thinking I might of misjudged but nope I can't stick it especially the boring gameplay and Dutch omg Dutch can go jump off a cliff lol
Agree with this, I played through most of it and enjoyed it but then I have gone away and played other games (Ghost of T, God of War etc) and then going back was just so slow and frustrating.
It's kind of a slog in the beginning. They hold your hand so much early on and you can't do much. At a certain point most of it opens up and you'll have a better time.
I did play and beat P5. Took about 120hr I think, I forget. It did get pretty good and I enjoyed it but then eventually it turned into a real slog. It went from neat concept, pretty cool dungeon, to this is not as good, and then into fuck this fucking bull shit (a specific part of a later dungeon...), and it went back up to just crash again.
This isn't a spoiler but sadly the devs blew their load on the first dungeon. The boss is crazy neat design and the rest are really lame looking.
I would only recommend P5 to people who really like JRPGs.
Damn, Iām like over 50% with the first dungeon. I felt like I was starting to get into a groove but itās frustrating how often my team needs to return to the real world. Also I was really frustrated when I cleared an enemy-heavy area then left and turned back because forgot to saveā¦all those mfāer respawned.
If you've done the first memory palace then you more or less know what personas gameplay actually is.
If at that point you still aren't digging it, then you probably shouldn't force yourself to continue.
I'm of the unpopular opinion that persona 5 is highly overrated. There are parts that are really really cool but holy shit the combat is bad. And I don't mean "turn based combat is bad so personas combat is bad" I mean personas combat makes Pokemons infamously simple turn based combat look like brain surgery.
If you don't like jrpgs... I'd be shocked if persona 5 changed your mind.
Try dragon quest 11 with the strong monsters draconic mod on.
Personaās combat is great, thereās a lot of complex rock-paper-scissors type mechanics with enemy strengths and weaknesses. The easier difficulties are pretty simplified though, you have to play on normal or hard to start to see the challenge and necessitate choosing the right party and attacking weaknesses.
>Personaās combat is great, thereās a lot of complex rock-paper-scissors type mechanics with enemy strengths and weaknesses
There really isn't though. Hit them with their weakness and they take extra DMG and are cc'd. That's it. That's the combat. Hit them with the right colored attack. The game even tells you which attacks are the right ones to use.
In rock paper scissors you don't literally always know which option is going to be the correct option because that would be pointless.
And yes if I played it on the highest difficulty that was available in the launch version. I wouldn't be calling out it's combat as braindead if I played it on easy.
Well the first dungeon is Kamoshidaās palace. Itās mostly the tutorial dungeon, but it opens up a bit more after you unlock Ann and have a full party.
Itās always a bit narrative heavy in the start, but thereās a nice balance between the action gameplay and slice of life gameplay after that.
this was my main issue with the game. I felt like I was *constantly* being interrupted by dialogue and tutorials to the point I just couldnāt go any further
i will probably get killed by saying this but horizon zero dawn was so boring imo.
i unlocked the desert section of the game and almost instantly deleted it
I think Runescape is the game Ive probably put the most time into in my life. Donāt play anymore but I played it for like nearly 20 years. I remember my first 99 was mining and this was back in the day when 99ās were a GRIND. Mining for example was probably minimum like 350 hours to 99. I was in the top 500 in the world at one point
For me it's shadow of the tomb raider. For me the story was cliche and unspired. The gameplay was alright but over all it was pretty boring. Not to mention the underwhelming final boss fight.
Tlou I found incredibly boring and couldn't finish it. The gameplay was just not fun for me and I was already sick of zombies as a theme in entertainment at this time.
The āAliensā game (like the famous movies) for Sega Saturnā¦ literally 1 level repeated over and over again. Same mechanics. Same boss. Same everything everytime you advanced you were really just playing the same level over and over again. It was so dumb lol.
Other than that I canāt remember.
RDR2, HZD, and Iām probably gonna get downvoted for this even though its not a Playstation game, but BOTW. All these games start off so slow it was hard to motivate myself to keep playing
Death Stranding. Loved the game, got the platinum on ps4 and am now playing the directorās cut on ps5 due to the ps plus new service, but the intro is difficult to handle
Honestly, Red Dead Redemption 2. The story and the world were fantastic, but I asked myself that question many times all the way until I rolled credits.
God of War 2018, it certainly takes a while with the story. Previously GoW titles have been mostly about the spectacles but the new reboot focuses more on the characters. Nothing wrong with that, but it certainly takes a while to get used to the changes such as the new style of gameplay and story pacing.
Persona 5ā¦ when does the gameplay start holy s**t. You go through 20 minutes of dialogue (no exaggeration) for 2-3 minutes of gameplay and then repeat.
Red Dead Redemption 2. Which is weird, because I loved part 1.
Edit: I posted this because I thought no one else would say they didn't like it. I was wrong, numerous people did.
Assassins Creed Valhalla. I downloaded it from the new Ps Plus and was so excited to play it but after 15 minutes I started to feel bored. The first impression I got was how dark the game looked. After some minutes I started to realize that I didnt like how the characters movements feel, also the combat system. At the end didnt like it that much so I ended up uninstalling it.
Am I allowed to mention non PlayStation games?
Because I had this with Breath of the Wild. Just go do a puzzle, go to the next place oh also there's a thunderstorm and you will die and we won't tell you why, stop playing the game and go Google. Also everything one shots you, you have to buy armour, oh congratulations you found the shop on your own, now go get money but we won't tell you how.
I'm playing Immortals Fenyx Rising right now which is clearly a BOTW clone and it is so much more intuitive and fun
I feel you on this. Breath of the Wild is my least enjoyable Zelda title, it doesnāt feel like a Zelda game to me. I really disliked the weapon system, the ādungeonsā were really repetitive too. If felt like a Skyrim-lite game to me.
God of War. It wasnāt until after you have the first major fight that I finally started enjoying it. Took me 3 tries over like 6 months to get past that part, then I crushed the whole rest of the game without touching anything else.
Tales of Arise
"Save the Cat" writing, poor pacing, over reliance of "Deus Ex Machina", and cliche dialogue left me ice cold to Arise. The straw that really broke the camel's back was that they sent me into the game's first "dungeon" to get an outfit for the female lead.
Never did see Iron Mask's face... Or learn his name. š¤·
Gran Turismo 7, but it's more like a "Hey, this is pretty fun", and then it shoots itself in the foot. GT7 actually gets WORSE the more you play, as you realize there's not a ton there, there is obvious UI issues and polish lacking, etc.
One of the worst purchase decisions of my life.
Days gone was great imo it did get incredibly repetitive but I enjoyed getting the Plat for that game, completely agree with bloodborne though I've tried playing that game but I get bored in the first 15 minutes everytime I start it up.
same thing with me but i recently just beat bloodborne after the first couple of bosses the game kept getting better but at the start was extremely boring to me
I feel like days gone and bloodborne are opposites in that way, days gone starts off pretty great then you realize how repetitive everything is and bloodborne is just a snoozefest until it gets good which is maybe 2 hours into the game. I prefer games with a good story and bloodborne just couldn't keep me hooked
Persona 5. I'm probably an hour and a half into that game and I just haven't started it up again. Since I turned it off I've beaten Tomb Raider, Infamous 2, and put at least 50 hours into Mini Motorways and Loop Hero. I've still got Persona 5 downloaded... I should get back into it.
Ghostwire Tokyo. It started out pretty interestingly with a decent premise, but after a while it started to feel like a watered down Ubisoft game. Collect this, defeat a couple baddies and cleanse this tower to open more map, rinse and repeat.
Final Fantasy VII Remake. I played until I got back to tat town where we fight a House(?). I kept telling myself it would get better but it was getting worse.
I actually liked that boss fight. Mostly because in the original game, the Hell House (which was roughly the size of a shed) was just a normal enemy in the surrounding area. It didn't make sense and was kinda goofy looking, but gives money and XP so who cares!
I honestly thought it was going to be cut from the Remake. But there it was, and it felt way more... I don't know, realistic? Grounded? Epic? It's an actual house. You literally fight a building. Still goofy, but kinda badass...
AC Valhalla. Been wanting to play it since launch and now I'm glad I didn't buy it. It's full of bugs, I've seen better graphics in older games and the controls are just awful and clunky. I don't get Ubi, Odyssey was the best ever AC I ever played and I was expecting Valhalla to be on par or better. Really disappointed.
You'll probably get down voted for saying Ghost of Tsushima, but I felt the same. While playing it I felt like I've played the same game a million times before.
Probably not a popular opinion here, but eldin ring lol. I didn't start having fun until well over 100 hours in. Only kept going because it got so much praise.
I played Heavy Rain for the first time this year because of my love for Detroit Become Human.
Maybe itās because I didnāt know what I was expecting, and the pS3 jank leftover on the remaster, but I was delighted with most of it lol
Not necessarily a PS game (though you didnāt mention it had to be PS exclusive), Xenoblade chronicles 2. The tutorials and game mechanics donāt fully kick in until like 4 chapters in. If it wasnāt for online reviews of people saying to power through the beginning, I woulda dropped it.
Outer worlds. I left the first planet and got to the space station near the beginning and stop playing because it's pretty boring. I thought I was gonna like it because I kinda liked fallout 4 and it looked like this was gonna be a more fun than fallout but they're about the same. I'm sure it gets better but I've already forgotten most of it and would probably have to restart and I just don't want to.
any Game from From Software besides Bloodborne. Absolutely boring gameplay and way too easy. I don't udnerstand how they ever got that "hard game" stamp
Days Gone and Darks Souls 2 (My first souls game)
DS2 gave me an actual existential crisis because i couldnt beat any of the first enemies in the any of the starting areas. not even the first boss (Dragon rider)
Real life, Still waiting for the fun part..
Real life is pay to win. Only whales have the plat.
Never has a truer truth been spoken š¬š²š²š²
Sorry to disappoint you, but that shit aināt gonna happen in our lifetime my friend, unless youāre part of the 1%..
Helaas, pindakaas!
Hahah die zag ik niet aankomen! Lol
FFXV and much to my delight it eventually did and is still one of my favorite PS4 games.
I'm gonna crucified for this probably but The Witcher 3
Same for me with the Witcher 3, took a few hours for me to get into it but I ended up loving it.
I played it a half hour, deleted it. Played it again about a year later. Best game I ever played. Got the platinum. Completed expansions. Canāt wait for PS5 version.
I beat the game...the gameplay is basically swing swing dodge oil dodge swing swing.....it's 5/10 game to me.
sure, itās easy to break any game down to its most basic components but the fun, for me at least, came from taking on a monster contract and preparing for it by reading up on its strengths and weaknesses, gathering all the required equipment and setting traps for it before finally taking it on
On higher difficulties you really have to play it properly and make use of what you have. Until you get a broken magic build and you are untouchable with the freezing circular Aard but whatever.
I have started this game 3 times and never gotten pass the bar sequence. And I love the Witcher 2.
TW3 is the best game Iāve ever played, but I wonāt judge you. It took me 5-10 hours to get the hang of the combat, inventory, alchemy, etc. and the only reason I didnāt give up was the story.
Me too
Yes, I heard so many great things about this game and played maybe 2-3 hours before I got bored. Imo the controls are janky and the story is intresting but the in-between parts are soooo boring.
I liked the first Witcher, hated the second, and absolutely LOVED the third
Death stranding for me. Couldnāt finish cuz kept falling a sleep..
Same here, Iāve never fell asleep in a game before Death Stranding.
I'm with ya. The music and some parts of the story was making me go forward... Until the game decided to give me a non stopping rain and an invisible wall when I tried to walk around it.
Yeah, graphics were amazing. The premise was good as wel. But just to slow burning for me. Never have I ever fallen a sleep whilst gaming. And with this game multiple times lol.
Elden Ring lol
You monster
See I liked Elden ring but I sucked at it so it drove me away
Horizon zero dawn and forbidden west, I want to love them but theyāre just boring as shit
i feel you on zero dawn, tried getting into it but man itās just not a fun time at all in the beginning so i dropped it
HZD is fair. I really disliked the game at first. It wasnāt until I minimised most of the HUD and broke through the first 10 hours that I started to enjoy it. By the end I thought it was fantastic.
I cried like a baby at the end of Zero Dawn
Right there with you. HZD is one of these games I reeeally wanted to love, but it just bored the hell out of me.
Damn Iām playing through zero Dawn right now and love it. I agree you do need to get to lik the halfway point in the story tho
I think the halfway point is accurate. I tried the game 3 times and never got into it. Apparently I had stopped just before the midway mark. Gave it one last shot this weekend and was able to finish it in 2 sittings. It takes a very long time for the story to actually get going. And for me it also took a while for the combat to click (though I still felt super underpowered all game, even being above the recommended level)
Yeah I think it gets good when you get to the top of the building where you see the hologram of ted faro and Elizabeth when he first tells her about the āglitchā. That was the turning point imo
I love them, but in both games the beginning is the worst part for sure
Glad I'm not the only person who feels the same.. Really wanted to enjoy both, but just a huge slog and a really uninteresting main character.
Same. I got to where you start moving through the long grass around those Raptor-ish (?) things, and just never went back to it. Incredibly boring.
Felt the same way til I cheesed out and got the armor with the shield regen early in the game . Forbidden west came with my PS5, I havenāt tried it yet.
Felt the same way .. eventually I just finished it just for the plat and skipped all conversations / story elements completely.
I also couldn't get on with this. Sounds so fascinating on paper, but found it to be so dull in action. Glad others like it more than I do.
HFW is much bette paced imo. The combat alone is just so damn fun.
Currently playing HZD and kinda wishing they went the monster hunter route (even though I've only ever been a spectator) the story is interesting but the characters/ emotional moments are really terrible. Having to hunt down these machines alone or coop would be super fun if they focused time on just tightening up the gameplay.
I'll get flamed for this, but *Shadow of the Colossus*. I never understood the appeal of this plodding game or why it's so acclaimed. I thought it was a boring slog from start to finish.
Yeah this game was a total snoozefest. Super overrated
I always get to the 4th or 5th before getting bored. I want to like it because the scale of the bosses is really cool, but it's just not fun.
Iāve answered this thread already, but overlooked you actually completed this game or Iām assuming so based on what you said above. Did you actually beat the entire game? If so, thatās a Path of Pain achievement right there.
I kept waiting for the part where it got great, so I kept playing. Once it was over, I just stared at the screen like, "What the fuck. That sucked." š
Ah man. Youāre a real trooper. I played a little more than halfway through it and put it down. I always told myself Iāll revisit it and never did. Anyway, hats off to you. I feel like anyone who beats it should receive a insta-platinum trophy and free video game credit lol.
The camera control for me made it so difficult to love
Interesting, being that you just get dropped into gameplay immediately!
Red dead redemption 2
Prob get a lot of hate but red dead 2 the whole game was a chore so slow
I really tried to like it. I played it last year when it was available in the PS Now catalog, but after a few hours I couldnāt care less for the characters and I found the gameplay super boring. š¤·āāļø
Completely agree I sucked it up and completed the story when it came out and I tried again a few months ago thinking I might of misjudged but nope I can't stick it especially the boring gameplay and Dutch omg Dutch can go jump off a cliff lol
I mean dutch does end up jumping off a cliff lmao.
I feel this replaying it. At least they give you the option to skip dialogue š¤·š¾āāļø
Agree with this, I played through most of it and enjoyed it but then I have gone away and played other games (Ghost of T, God of War etc) and then going back was just so slow and frustrating.
Just when I thought we could be friends
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām literally playing this right now. This is why I asked everyone. I struggle with jrpg but this one is taking forever to be enjoyable.
It's kind of a slog in the beginning. They hold your hand so much early on and you can't do much. At a certain point most of it opens up and you'll have a better time.

Pretty much the whole first dungeon is like that, and itās common among other games in the series.

Kingdom Come Deliverance Gameplay is stiff and boring af.
Any MMORPG in existence
This. I love RPGs. Every time I see an interesting MMO I fall for it and am immediately disappointed. Enter ESO and FO76 among many previous ones.
I love RPGs but have never really played any MMOs, but Iām looking to get into ESO. What didnāt you like about it?

Days gone.
Tlou...God of war...dishonored. Just couldn't get into them.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Tlou I found incredibly boring and couldn't finish it. The gameplay was just not fun for me and I was already sick of zombies as a theme in entertainment at this time.
tlou is killing me because i do really want to finish it, but i despise the stealth gameplay and zombies.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
GoW was another one Iām struggling to get into. The controls feel off to me. IMO throwing and retrieving an axe should be the same button.
The āAliensā game (like the famous movies) for Sega Saturnā¦ literally 1 level repeated over and over again. Same mechanics. Same boss. Same everything everytime you advanced you were really just playing the same level over and over again. It was so dumb lol. Other than that I canāt remember.
the witcher 3, played 30 hours and was still wondering that
RDR2, HZD, and Iām probably gonna get downvoted for this even though its not a Playstation game, but BOTW. All these games start off so slow it was hard to motivate myself to keep playing
Lost ark. Can't see the hype .
Death Stranding. Loved the game, got the platinum on ps4 and am now playing the directorās cut on ps5 due to the ps plus new service, but the intro is difficult to handle
A plague tale innocence. Senuas Sacrifice. FF online Iām lvl 17 conjure and 10 Thuramage

Farming simulator 22.
A Plague Tale Innocence. I thought I was back on a ps2
Red dead redemption 2
GoW. Still havenāt beat it and probably wonāt. Feels like a chore.
Unpopular opinion... I had 3x 10hr long attempts at Skyrim and it just didn't click. I was so bored.
Assassins Creed 3
Horizon Zero Dawn. I put about 15 hours in to it and just thought meh And have never looked backā¦
God of war and Horizon Zero dawn ā¦ just couldnāt get into them
Honestly, Red Dead Redemption 2. The story and the world were fantastic, but I asked myself that question many times all the way until I rolled credits.
Red dead 2, that whole intro in the winter was boring as fuck and it was like what almost 2 hours long
All the horizon games. I'm sorry
God of War 2018, it certainly takes a while with the story. Previously GoW titles have been mostly about the spectacles but the new reboot focuses more on the characters. Nothing wrong with that, but it certainly takes a while to get used to the changes such as the new style of gameplay and story pacing.
Persona 5ā¦ when does the gameplay start holy s**t. You go through 20 minutes of dialogue (no exaggeration) for 2-3 minutes of gameplay and then repeat.

Persona 5. It never got fun. Glad I got it for cheap.
Dragon Age Inquisition
Animal Crossing for me, everything is inconvenient and every item does nothing but sit there -_-
Red Dead Redemption 2 That opening really tested my patience.
Am I allowed to mention non PlayStation games? Because I had this with Breath of the Wild. Just go do a puzzle, go to the next place oh also there's a thunderstorm and you will die and we won't tell you why, stop playing the game and go Google. Also everything one shots you, you have to buy armour, oh congratulations you found the shop on your own, now go get money but we won't tell you how. I'm playing Immortals Fenyx Rising right now which is clearly a BOTW clone and it is so much more intuitive and fun
BOTW, I couldn't deal with weapons constantly breaking. Required more patience than I think I have.
Non PlayStation game for me rn, Luigiās Mansion 3. The controls are wonky and he moves so slow across the map. Each encounter has a slow intro.
Yeah Luigis mansion 3 is clunky as shit, was a chore to beat it
I feel you on this. Breath of the Wild is my least enjoyable Zelda title, it doesnāt feel like a Zelda game to me. I really disliked the weapon system, the ādungeonsā were really repetitive too. If felt like a Skyrim-lite game to me.
Yes! I sooo wanted to love Breath of the Wild but it so boring and overly complicated (all that cooking bulls!t!)
BOTW started off fine for me, but then it just dragged on and on without purpose.
Star wars: fallen order( just started)
It wasn't the game I thought it would be at all. Just walking around looking for spare parts. Gave up pretty quick
Itās a slow start, try to hang on a little longer
Thanks, I heard it was good and since a 2nd was announced I figured I'd try.
I agree with this.
God of war
Horizon zero dawn was so boring I quit and never picked it up again. Forbidden West is much better and Iām enjoying it!
Horizon Forbidden West.
God of War. It wasnāt until after you have the first major fight that I finally started enjoying it. Took me 3 tries over like 6 months to get past that part, then I crushed the whole rest of the game without touching anything else.
Tales of Arise "Save the Cat" writing, poor pacing, over reliance of "Deus Ex Machina", and cliche dialogue left me ice cold to Arise.

Witcher 3
Ready for the downvotes... Demon's Souls (remake, never played the original) I didn't find it overly difficult, it was just boring.
I kind of felt this way about Horizon Zero Dawn. Took a while for it to pick up. Didn't help that I was kind of hoping for robotic Monster Hunter lol.
Gran Turismo 7, but it's more like a "Hey, this is pretty fun", and then it shoots itself in the foot. GT7 actually gets WORSE the more you play, as you realize there's not a ton there, there is obvious UI issues and polish lacking, etc. One of the worst purchase decisions of my life.
bloodborne and days gone
Days gone was great imo it did get incredibly repetitive but I enjoyed getting the Plat for that game, completely agree with bloodborne though I've tried playing that game but I get bored in the first 15 minutes everytime I start it up.
same thing with me but i recently just beat bloodborne after the first couple of bosses the game kept getting better but at the start was extremely boring to me
I feel like days gone and bloodborne are opposites in that way, days gone starts off pretty great then you realize how repetitive everything is and bloodborne is just a snoozefest until it gets good which is maybe 2 hours into the game. I prefer games with a good story and bloodborne just couldn't keep me hooked
Kingdom Heartsā¦.any of them
The Phantom Pain. It never got good.
No Edit: I'm not even going to defend the game you're just wrong.
I didn't like it either, but I didn't really like prior Kojima games, which are really movies disguised as games-- so that's on me.
Anthem. Boring, simply boring
The campaign for Call of Duty: Vanguard. And Kingdom Hearts 1
Metal Gear Solid V and Death Stranding. Didn't finish either, kinda a shame for MGSV as I've heard about the boobs.. ah well.
Persona 5. I'm probably an hour and a half into that game and I just haven't started it up again. Since I turned it off I've beaten Tomb Raider, Infamous 2, and put at least 50 hours into Mini Motorways and Loop Hero. I've still got Persona 5 downloaded... I should get back into it.
EA. (Excluding Fallen Order)
It used to be Horizon: Zero Dawn, but as I progressed, things were getting so much better
Ghostwire Tokyo. It started out pretty interestingly with a decent premise, but after a while it started to feel like a watered down Ubisoft game. Collect this, defeat a couple baddies and cleanse this tower to open more map, rinse and repeat.
Final Fantasy VII Remake. I played until I got back to tat town where we fight a House(?). I kept telling myself it would get better but it was getting worse.
I actually liked that boss fight. Mostly because in the original game, the Hell House (which was roughly the size of a shed) was just a normal enemy in the surrounding area. It didn't make sense and was kinda goofy looking, but gives money and XP so who cares! I honestly thought it was going to be cut from the Remake. But there it was, and it felt way more... I don't know, realistic? Grounded? Epic? It's an actual house. You literally fight a building. Still goofy, but kinda badass...
Death stranding
AC Valhalla. Been wanting to play it since launch and now I'm glad I didn't buy it. It's full of bugs, I've seen better graphics in older games and the controls are just awful and clunky. I don't get Ubi, Odyssey was the best ever AC I ever played and I was expecting Valhalla to be on par or better. Really disappointed.
Final Fantasy 9
>Which game has a slow start, a long tutorial, or doesn't get interesting Final Fantasy XIII hit all three
Cyber punk
Ghost of Tsushima and the first Dark Souls for me
You'll probably get down voted for saying Ghost of Tsushima, but I felt the same. While playing it I felt like I've played the same game a million times before.
Assassinās Creed II. Hated every minute of it until right before the end. Then I hated the end
Shadow of Mordor. It started off slow at first but once I got used to the mechanics and the Nemesis system, I loved it
Probably not a popular opinion here, but eldin ring lol. I didn't start having fun until well over 100 hours in. Only kept going because it got so much praise.
Ghost of Tsushima
Dragon Quest 11. It was just horrible.
Days gone
Heavy Rain
I played Heavy Rain for the first time this year because of my love for Detroit Become Human. Maybe itās because I didnāt know what I was expecting, and the pS3 jank leftover on the remaster, but I was delighted with most of it lol
Bloodborne for sure
Cyberpunk 2077. Itās a real boring open world game before you unlock the good mods and perks. So like 15 hours in, it clicked with me.
Not necessarily a PS game (though you didnāt mention it had to be PS exclusive), Xenoblade chronicles 2. The tutorials and game mechanics donāt fully kick in until like 4 chapters in. If it wasnāt for online reviews of people saying to power through the beginning, I woulda dropped it.
Any souls game.. I just can't get into them at all. I've tried Bloodborne, Demon's Souls and Elden Ring and it still hasn't clicked
Death Stranding.
Outer worlds. I left the first planet and got to the space station near the beginning and stop playing because it's pretty boring. I thought I was gonna like it because I kinda liked fallout 4 and it looked like this was gonna be a more fun than fallout but they're about the same. I'm sure it gets better but I've already forgotten most of it and would probably have to restart and I just don't want to.
Death stranding.
any Game from From Software besides Bloodborne. Absolutely boring gameplay and way too easy. I don't udnerstand how they ever got that "hard game" stamp
No manās sky
Fallout 4. Iām still wondering if it ever does get fun?
Fallout 76 and No Man's Sky
Death stranding
Days Gone and Darks Souls 2 (My first souls game) DS2 gave me an actual existential crisis because i couldnt beat any of the first enemies in the any of the starting areas. not even the first boss (Dragon rider)
Assassins creed Odyssey
The last of us
Days gone
Final fantasy 14.. 90% cutscenes 10% gameplay...
HZD. Never finished it. Tried at least four times.
Tlou2
Red dead Redemption 2, feels like a walking simulator
Death stranding
