ITT: the most boring game you've playedI'm not asking for the WORST game you've playedHere's my pick. I usually avoid walking sims because they don't sound fun to play, but since I had played the other three Amnesia games, I thought I'd give this one a try.In the end, this was just a boring game with a nonsensical plot. At least the presentation was serviceable, albeit still inferior to The Dark Descent, but the pig monsters were not scary in the slightest.
>>727799115Biggest disappointment of the 2010s for me. Great atmosphere, no gameplay.
>>727801025>atmosphereI couldn't see shit
>>727799115>nonsensical plot???
Dragon Age Inquisition, probably.
>>727799115Death StrandingIts probably the only game I would sink 80 hours into and then tell people it sucks.
>>727801025the gameplay is exactly as deep as TDD, which everyone fellates

>>727804039People only hated AMFP because it wasn't streamer bait
>>727799115Probably Final Fantasy V or Metro Exodus
>>727804182or "GAME BAD BECAUSE LESS DOODADS TO PICK UP AND ROTATE"
Maybe octopath traveler.
>>727804182>>727804039You guys clearly have not played it.It has no inventory, no light management, there's no interactive monsters you actively have to hide from, even the "puzzles" are garbage. You just hold W the entire game and that's it. The Chinese Room can't do anything but boring walking sims
>>727804584>story spoonfed to you with no player agency and nothing to discover by exploring so there's barely a thing to interact with>no inventory, health or sanity mechanics>barely any puzzles, all involve item ferrying or flipping a single switch because no inventory>monster """encounters""" are seconds long, unloseable, on rails, or some combination except for the single room with the tesla pig>2 hours at most for the same priceYeah it's a hidden gem for sure
God of War 2016When there's action, it's boring. When there's no action, it's very boring.
>>727804897>>727804987no one said it was GOTY, just that TDD is just as dogshitoh wow, you have a tinderbox counter and key items show up on screen, incredible
>>727804897TCR invented the walking sim.
>>727805525TDD at the very least has interactions with the monsters, has scary scenes, you need to hide or run or manage with puzzles the monsters. It has platforming, item merging, etc.You don't have to like it but comparing it to Machine for pigs is ridiculous.
>>727805525>actually have to account for healing items that punish mistakes>manage tinderboxes and lantern oil for light control and have to balance when to use light accounting for your limited resources vs monsters seeing you more easily>there's a hard mode with more aggressive monsters where tinder boxes are spent to save if that's not enough>inventory means sometimes items need to be combined or altered by machinery or other places in the world instead of click dragging item around with you to the puzzle 5 meters away>more interactable means you have actual options to throw to distract creatures or stun them and there's more environmental storytelling for subtle details compared to only being given narration>actual chase sequences where you can die like the water creature compared to machine for pigs having actual bowling bumpers for 6 year olds>environmental hazards including the shadow instead of just constant pigs>this is exactly the same!
>>727805525>"Lovecraftian">has nothing to do with Lovecraft's themes of being utterly insignificant in the universe the insanity that comes with brushing up against the incomprehensible, rather resorting to "DUDE TENTACLES LMAO".>also no racismEvery fucking time. Also insanity meters in games suck. Or rather the way they're implemented sucks. First of all you should never be able to see your current sanity (the brain can't diagnose itself innit) and there should be ZERO in game hint that you're slowly going insane. It shouldn't even be mentioned in the tutorial as a mechanic. Things should just start going weird, like you pick up an object that doesn't appear in your inventory, or you go out a door only to come back into the same room. The kind of things that make people think "is my game just buggy?" without resorting to >le ebin fake BSOD
