Third and final time I've tried and failed to complete Wu Long. It's rare that I don't complete a Soulslike because I'm a huge genre fanatic but this just isn't good.

Team Ninja should have just made Nioh 3 instead.

This was me but with Stranger's Paradise. Good to know that Wo Long was more of the same.

Within minutes of playing the demo, I immediately felt that Wo Long is just built off of the Stranger's Paradise foundation and just noped out. Seeing recommended youtube videos about how broken a lot of the maps are only further vindicates my decision to not bother with Wo Long.

Really really wish they had just made Nioh 3 instead. I still play Nioh 2 sometimes to this day actually. Once you're done with the soulslike part of the game, it's still fun just mastering the controls and really seeing the extent of what you can do, while helping out newbies in the meantime. I'm pretty sure I have almost 400 hours in Nioh 2 now, but I can easily understand the random guys on twitch with 2k+ hours on it.
 
Stopped playing Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne. Started feeling like a chore to play. Its a bit overrated I feel. Its kinda crap...
 
I feel like giving up on Ys 8, the quests aren't good. I'm supposed to build a watchtower by finding specific trees in some particular area, but can't find them. I don't really want to look for trees, man.

I can't find a video for this quest either, so I'm gonna have to parse through some dense ass walkthrough I guess...
 
Baldur's Gate 3. I need to stop giving into my curiosity when the majority of people online say "THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER LLOOLOOL" the characters and the world seem cool but just navigating the world is a pain in the ass. The dice roll and turn based combat didn't bother me as much but I couldn't muster up enough will to keep playing after I cleared the first dungeon.
 
Nothing in particular, but I play mobile games a fair bit in my spare time and it usually turns out to be one of those. Starts promising, but you eventually hit a wall and the grind sets in. Either that or there's simply too much content to catch up and it's just too daunting.
 
I actually completed all of Pokemon Scarlet, but when it came to the endgame content like raids with Pokemon from older games, I stopped. Tera Raids are so buggy and broken. That game was a woke turd.

I wanted to like Mega Man 10, but it was so meh. None of the robot masters out of Sheep Man were really memorable, and I didn't even bother to learn their weaknesses. I stopped at Wily Castle 3 because I didn't care about the game anymore. Crapcom really pushed the shit out of the bad box art and NES sprites at the time to a point I started to hate NES sprites for a while.

Monster Rancher sucked after MR2, but Monster Rancher 4 was one of the "better" games after MR2 came out. It felt like a really weird hentai graphic novel with the narration and ui. I dropped it after you unlocked...Mocchi of all the fucking breeds you could unlock in the game. It was weird how the breeder had access to Dragon and undead knight armor in the beginning, yet you had to unlock a fucking pink duck monster cuz story reasons (long story short: Your main character is so fucking incompetent even Mocchi told him to fuck off when something happned to it). Monster Rancher Evo...yea, I don't really want to talk about that one. Even if you knew how to play it, god that game sucked.

Skyrim - Meh.

I remember when I played FF13 I maxed Shaz and Vanille on disc 2 only to see Vanille get ohko'd by a turtle even when I buffed the dumb bitch (I had the Xbox version). I stopped after I got a Game Over from her death. I hated Vanille, but that death made me hate her and her VA even more.

Raid Shadow legends. And I think I did the right thing.

How and why the fuck were you even thinking playing that thing?

A year into the game's you could do most of the content spare PvP free unless you pulled champions that could handle pvp. Now it's impossible to even do the most basic content unless you spend $2500 a week. Don't even bother with Faction Wars. I'm surprised there isn't a thread on all of the drama and controversies tied to Raid (besides Youtuber cucks like Quarterpounder and JDfromNy selling their souls to Plarium). Dislyte is the woke version of Raid, yet much worse than Raid.

Caves of Qud, I just can't be fucked to learn in the way the game forces me to - I in no reason like to be coddled, some of my favorite titles include things like Darkwood, and I love dwarf fortress - So I don't know if I got filtered or if that game is legit just a grindy boring mess.
 
"Gods Will Be Watching" an extremely difficult point and click for the sake of being extremely difficult. Spend an hour on a level and die to an rng decision. Do that 5 times in a row and try not to get pissed.
I kind of get why they did it that way, the point in the story was dying over and over. Ended up watching a YouTube video for the ending.

CoQ (lol) is a try-hard roguelike that wants to have its cake and eat it too -- procedurally generated worlds but with a shitty plot shoehorned in. The devs are cunts too. Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is the superior interpretation of what CoQ tries to do.
 
Doom Eternal. At first I was, like many others, blown away by it, but near the end the spastic monkey on steroids combat got old and exhausting. I finished it on UV, but was this close to just uninstalling when I realized the IOS encounter was just this:
standard boss fight 27-alpha, upper half of large man smashing ledge where the player is with big fists (and lasers). it's traditionally the boss fight of the generic third-person game where you have some kind of dodge ability to avoid the fists, and in first-person it becomes a frustrating exercise in sprinting back and forth like a streaker at a football match, hoping that the attack brewing somewhere offscreen to the right will whiff if you keep moving.

As Yahtz eloquently put it when he described Wolfenstein TOB. When I heard about the DLC I was moderately hyped, and then found out that they were not just doubling, but quadrupling down on the spastic monkey shit. In hindsight 2016 was the better game after all.

if I die 2 times on a particular fight, I will just boot Wemod up and proceed with no worries to the next part of the game. That's how I finished Doom Eternal when I was low on ammo and stuck in a level.

I thought including a female boss was interesting, and the ability to play as Bass was a huge plus.

The only real problem with those games imo is they went back to NES standards, which sucks because MM7 & MM8 looked good, I wanted to see an evolution, not a regression.

Have you played MR: Batlle Card Game? It's pretty good, it's no Pokemon TCG, but it's solid.

You're thinking of 9 where they added Splash Woman. 10's bosses were absolutely forgettable including Sheep Man. As for MR, I heard the card game wasn't bad, and there was another spin-off that actually takes the old Solomon's Key game, and swaps the monsters with MR characters. I didn't play the card game.
 
The Last of Us. I gave up when we're hiding from not-Zombies and we're supposed to be sneaking around and Ellie is babbling and dancing and fuck it. If the game designer or developer doesn't care, why should I?

Amnesia Rebirth. I like the Dark Descent and even struggled through Machine for Pigs but this game is just a boring mess. Shitty walking simulator with endless exposition dumped on you constantly, occasionally interrupted with lame jump scares.

Had to peace out after about 3 hours.
Click to expand...
It was legit the worst game in the entire series, the only area I think was redeeming at all was the fortress and it fell super hard after that, a machine for Pigs, on the other hand, had so much potential and was legit a very good experience, the only thing I will never understand was the warning system - the lamp flickering on and off when an enemy was nearby - it should've given you more autonomy and forced you to be more attentive, although the church sequence was still very good, especially when it forced you to go down those stairs into the dark.
 
I really tried to get into the Mother games, but they have something that just makes me dump them. I didn't have that problem with 3, but I had issues with leveling up, got the twists and important events spoiled AND it crashed just when it was supposed to play the ending segment. I ragequitted and never played any game of the series again.

I tried and gave up on Far Cry 2, twice. I really want to like it, but I got so sick and tired of fighting the same mooks every time I drive past an outpost. When, in your game, just getting from point A to point B is a terrible experience, you got problems.
Click to expand...
Amen!

It would drive me crazy that I could blow past a checkpoint at full speed but within 5-10 seconds I was being chased by a vehicle from said checkpoint. It broke the laws of physics! And like you said you cannot permanently remove them.

Fuck Far Cry 2. It's a garbage game and I don't get the revisionist history attempt by people who claim it was good.
