recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that
not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation
with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~
GTA V. I tried playing it but it was just so boring. I never felt like picking if back up after I stopped playing around 15% into the story. The online never worked for me as it would just endlessly be stuck on a loading screen [PC].
Also for the opposite (a game I thought I wouldn’t like but I ended up loving) I would say Sonic Frontiers. After seeing the trailer, I was sceptical about their new direction, but when I saw the game on sale I decided to pick it up. It was actually super fun and probably the best game I’ve played in the past year other than maybe Crysis 2. I just couldn’t put it down and ended up competing it in 2 sittings, though atm I’m going through all the levels since I missed a bunch.
I hate GTA V. So much.
There’s two ways to play it, story, and free roam, and they both suck.
The story missions are terrible. It’s incredibly basic task following, drive here, shoot these guys, etc.
The free roam sucks as its basically garrys mod but less freedom. There’s no incentive or reason to do anything. Everything is pointless.
