Most acclaimed games that you hate...

I didn't like the first game, and In totally skipped the second game (because even the mega-fans agreed that it was broken compared tot he first and third).,

I actually thought the second game was accessible and easy to play. I'm having trouble with the 3rd though....my guy dies so easy and not sure I want to spend hours doing side quests to level him up

The game expects the player to know all the tricks and guile of the witcher trade. So in order to be effective you need to know what to cast and what weapon to use against each enemy type. It's what ruins the game if you ask me. They can't expect the player to remember decades worth of witcher knowledge. The knowledge and experience of the playable character should be readily available to the player, and not something that the player needs to memorize.
 
Most of them yes, I never bought a Battlefield or COD game for multiplayer, don't think I ever played a COD match, did some battlefield online, but not a lot. I'm generally not into PVP games as they tend to get toxic fast.

Beein playing wow for 14 years and the amount of hours I did pvp you can count on the fingers of both hands, and that was just to get some gear for transmog.
If it suits you. I still think you're doing yourself a disservice though - you're wasting money playing only the single player campaigns, which at least in the case of Battlefield (I only played CoD 1 & 2) were always pretty much afterthoughts.
These games are designed with MP in mind. I've only gotten into BF with 1 when a friend talked me into it, but it's a blast to play. Otherwise I also prefer mostly single player games.
And about PvP games being toxic - whatever do you mean? You get someone occasionally sperging out in chat, but that's like half the fun. When some idiots start spamming me with get cancer/kys/etc rage I take it as a sign of job well done, it's that person risking an aneurysm, not me - I'm just laughing.

Right, The Witcher is broken as an RPG, because there is only so much growth you can give to a man that has survived a hundred years.

You spend the first half of the game memorizing things and failing to fill his shoes, instead of starting simple and growing your character slowly. You get thrown in the fire, so you are stuck with only a story line and worthless card game to keep you interested.

It's a Power point Presentation stacked full of graphs, with the occasional button mashing combat session or card game (where you have to remember those graphs in-detail). Oh, and a few videos of sexy ladies to look at. I don't understand why anyone would find that exciting?

So why do you buy a 4 seater car if you're only going to use one seat? You're doing yourself a disservice. You're wasting money on single seat.

As for PvP I simply don't care for Pvp at all. With my friends at a lan party sure, that's a social occasion. With random strangers over the internet? I don't need to feed my ego by defeating random strangers in a videogame. NPCs don't talk back at all, and I can always be sure they're not going to break character in the middle of a quest. That's why I don't play PvE online games either.

I understand what you are saying, but I like to play a lot of different games and with Wow beeing my main game I don't have that much time and spnding a couple 100 hours to get decent in a pvp game and unlock a bunch of stuff is not something I care for.

And if you like single player fps games you don't have a ton of choice.

Also I don't mind people loosing their shit in games but I don't need some 12 year old spamming defend, defend when all he does is attacking etc..

Years ago I had plenty fun with CS (when it was still a mod for half life with crappy maps), action half life, q3area, Sin CTF (still among the best CTF maps ever) even some tribes, niow pvp is mostly a bit of overwatch every now and then, and that's fine with me.
 
How Eve Online ever became a thing is beyond me.

Some people love using Microsoft Excel, therefore it is inevitable that there would be people that would love Microsoft Excel in its full 3D graphical form.

Zelda Breath of the Wild. I LOVE Zelda... but I did not want a open-world Zelda game where I am literally running for hours and having weapons that break. That really pissed me off. I want a Zelda game like Twilight Princess or something that isn't so incredibly full of nothingness. I seriously just get pissed thinking about all my weapons breaking one after another... I mean, that adds absolutely nothing to a game... why the fuck add it? Either you have a usable weapon or not, and the idea is to get better weapons as you go along...

I agree Zelda has become one of the most over rated games in history. I personally lost interested after OoT. I beat the 4 divine beast this GS and had no motivation to beat Ganon afterwards.

sadly i want the old eve back, they've tried way too hard the last few years to remove the "spreadsheet online" stereotype so even people with less than two braincells could play it and the games gone into the shitter rapidly.
 
No, the game remains boring all the way through. AC3 is probably the worst game in the series. Even with all its technical problems, Unity was miles better. If you're up for trying other games in the franchise I'd suggest Black Flag, Syndicate, or Odyssey.

Agreed here on AC3. The milieu/setting is somewhat interesting (for an American), although they were really pushing the revisionism with the number of buildings over 2-3 stories in most of the cities/towns. The story and gameplay is, however, boring AF.

AC Unity was actually an excellent entry, IMO, once the technical issues were patched. Great setting, still one of the best-looking games, and better than Syndicate in my view. They just tried to push the envelope technically too much I think and tried a few gameplay mechanics that didn't work out (and then there were the micro transactions that were apparently forces on the devs last minute...).

For me, it's the Battlefield games that don't add up to the stellar reviews (not taking into account the shill reviewers likely paid by EA). I picked up Battlefield 1 a few days ago and it felt extraordinarily similar to prior games and the graphics quite dated.

Have to agree with the weapon breaking mechanic, didn't really need to be in the game, but I honestly liked the rest of the game just fine. I think recently, with Zelda and RDR 2 now, the act of having to do anything outside of pure action is seen as useless and boring, and unfortunately that deters a lot of people from the overall experience, which is quite frankly a shame.

Perhaps you've just outgrown the series, who knows. You've missed a lot of great ones for sure though, like Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Link Between Worlds. I think BoTW took the series formula and mixed it up by trying to add more life and plausibility into the world, and unfortunately that's going to not be everyone's cup of tea.

I played all of them and only one I liked was a link between worlds. Wind Waker and TP were meh too me. I dropped Skyward Sword after the first dungeon. Yea just out grew them I guess.
 
The last EA game I purchased was Alice Madness Returns. It's still in the shrink wrap. That was 2011.
The last Ubisoft game I purchased was Far Cry from 2004
You're missing the point. You hate EA / Ubisoft. You cannot hate games that you never played. Hence the comment that you must have been busy playing all those games.
 
Borderlands series. Really got repetitive soon, only what mattered was the loot.

I want to like them, I've ended up owning all of them but I think it is mostly the horrid interface that you have to interact with given how often you want to swap guns etc. around.
 
Oblivion

nearly 3 hours in the character design/tutorial area. (Holy crud that’s unheard of)

I get out of that, have no idea where to go, I walk to a dungeon that’s way over my level and die immediately. Restart, walk into a neutral Monk’s house, accidentally pick up a cup on the table in sight of a Monk, and the monk says stop thief, calls upon his brethren and they kill me over accidentally picking up a cup on the dinner table.

I never tried it again.

That’s the worst $60 bucks I ever spent on a game.

I know people liked it, but it seemed like you’d have to be a neck beard type to enjoy that.

first one was the best, especially being able to play co-op online.. but 2 it just felt like they tried way too hard and lost what made the first one good. i finished the first game completely including all side missions but the other two i think i made it maybe 2 hours into each and got bored.
 
Half-Life 2, I remember playing this game when it released. Got through about half of it and quit playing because I lost interest. Played it fully through about 3 years ago but forced myself to finish to see what was so amazing about it. I wasn't impressed, it left little impact in my memory as I hardly remember the game other than launching things with one of the tools and the part where you wait for the ski-lift or whatever and the graveyard, thats about all I remember.

Portal

People said it was funny. I don’t get the humor. That song at the end is absolutely awful.

The gameplay drives me crazy in the later levels where so much precision is necessary for portal placement. I didn’t like it from the begginning and the game got worse the more I played. However it’s generally rated as one of the best games of all time so I recognize I stand in the minority.

I think they took portal seriously, it wasn't supposed to be funny, apart from a kind of ironic meaning. Portal 2 is the one that was actually intended to be funny.
 
We got the bad. I’m still stuck on team fortress 2 killing stupid “friendlies” that ruin the game. They shut down cod waw. Every cod since pretty much sucked. Modern warfare 1 and 2 were ok. Fortnite is stupid. I just don’t get battlefield.

What’s are you all playing that’s GOOD?

I've actually moved my multiplayer gaming to my PS4.
I really enjoy Dead by Daylight, it's not fast paced but damn does it get intense.
The Last of Us - both SP and MP are phenomenal.
CoD BO3 - I wouldn't play it but it was a "free game" for PS Plus members. CoD is fun to jump in for a round or two, just make sure you mute everyone.

This isn't the thread for good games though, it's the thread for games you don't like that everyone else does.
