We all like video games(Right? RIGHT?!). We have favorite characters, stories, music, items, puzzles, scenes, moves, and tons of other shit in games.
But then you get those games out there: You know them, you hear the praise of them, you are told by friends of their brilliance, and you go give it a shot and......realize it is not your taste.
This is dedicated to the games you personally could not get into or just can't get why people love them while you don't like them. Try to keep it civil as can be. We all have different opinions.
For me, I could never get into 2 games. First one is Bioshock Infinite. I am a HUGE Bioshock fan. The first one is a masterpiece and is easily in my top 10 greatest games of all time. It was followed with a more action oriented sequel that was a tad harder at times and a little bit less of a story yet was still fantastic. Then Infinite comes and I hear the hype and praise for it for months. I wait anxiously to play it and August 2013 comes. I play it then and, sorry to say, I do not enjoy this game. After completion I reminisced and realized that this game is not good. The visuals are stunning, the music is very good, and that story may be the best in the series, but the gameplay is awful to me. The guns feel totally bland, enemies are no threat, ammo and health is too plentiful, difficulty spikes make this game unbalanced, and any horror aspects are completely gone. This is the weakest in the series to me and I hope the next is more of what the first was than the third.
Second one is a series and, boy, if I do not get criticized I will be surprised. One of the biggest franchises that has been tearing up the charts and reeling in all sorts of gamers the past few years. The company has been widely known as the best company in this day and age. Yet I have tried and still can't get into them.
My second is the Elder Scrolls series and I HAVE TRIED! I borrowed Skyrim off a friend and played it for 6 hours. That is a small dent in a game as massive as Skyrim but I checked out. I got through the first dungeon with the Claw and just was not enjoying it entirely. And don't say it's only Skyrim. I bought Oblivion with all the DLC and played that for 10 hours. Did not like it. I enjoy the look, story and especially the music in the games but GOD I think the gameplay is boring, the dungeons are eh, the enemies lack punch, and the navigation is pretty easy yet feels too easy. It lacks that adventure or exploration feel you get in games like Zelda or Fallout. Now, I don't hate Bethesda. I love Fallout to death and it is one of my favorite series. But the Elder Scrolls, as far as I have played, is not for me at this point. If I get my own PC I will gladly try again but as it stands I am not a fan.
