Yooka-Laylee and The Impossible Lair. Saw the announcement trailer, thought "oh cool a Tropical Freeze clone, I loved that game" and then the more I played of it, the more I hated it. It manages to be a boring yet frustrating game both at once, what a terribly designed piece of garbage.

>>729935612
Tropical freeze. People said it's finally the real dkc successor. "Best platformer ever". The more you play it, the more you realize that it was just slightly less ass donkey kong returns and has nothing to do with real dkc.
It's crazy how some literal who's can make better dkc clone than fucking nintendo.

Comes to mind recent, its just same shit - it never changed what so ever, there is no twist. Its just formulaic and uninspired and theres nothing in there that makes it unique.

Like I knew it was gonna be an ezpz game going in, but I thought there would at least be SOMETHING interesting about it.
Forgettable music, forgettable abilities, shit design.
Dropped it at the end of an area where they put the final item reward slightly out of reach. Like the devs themselves admitting they're just wasting your time.

Vermintide 2. I can see the appeal but it felt like endless grind just to randomly get weapons at the end of a run that might not even be for a character/style I like. I have to admit the music, graphics, art direction was all great for warham fantasy (I got invited to a few ttrpg games of it). I'd just rather see what I'm grinding for instead of random stuff.

It's not bad, but it feels so limited as you keep playing. Nothing new happens. You're doing the exact same thing over and over again.
I know it's not a Mario game, but it wouldn't have hurt them to put a spin on each floor, some new rule or ability that was unique so things stayed fresh.

Smut game but goddess training 2.
It's a gts game but the creator sniffed old JRPG dust because the amount of random encounters, grinding and poor plot pace is the antithesis of a smut game. The maps are an enormous amount of wasteland and wasted space, the first maps are cousins to mount moon zubats encounters, every two steps an enemy, a horrible start made by design, since the latter enemies like tanks and ships hit like a truck if you didn't grind, even then the damage you deal is laughable. Let me have my GIANTESS GODDESS fantasy god dammit. I had to save edit my damage and immortality, otherwise this shit is unbearable.
To top all that, there are game breaking bugs, and the game freezes to calculate the EXP after almost every encounter, this last problem being amplified by the huge amount of battles the game offers.
The cherry in top of this dumpster fire are the cutscenes. This are mild and short at best.
Sadistic giantess are my shit, and i dragged through the game in hopes of my power fantasy, only to find none.
2/10, will visit toka's giantess for some relief.

No, you really can't on gold stake. The game has flat out unwinnable seeds where there is no decision the player can make to change the outcome. The game just rngs into not showing a single mult or chips joker and you are dead by ante 2 or 3. You can literally do everything in your power to maximize how many jokers you see and you can still brick.

it's an endless ubisoft collectathon, and it never really gets better. Sebastian's companion questline is probably the best part of the game but it's a rare gem in a pile of crap.
it doesn't have a 'fun teen story' or teen romance, and with the hundreds of people you kill leaving your character unphased you'd be forgiven for thinking you're playing a 30+ year old veteran auror

>>729939812
For me it's the voiced protag making everything into a...
...railroad. (cue laugh track.)
That's always a huge problem with open world games with non-linear plots and shit, if you have a voiced protag, you're going to have to limit what the player can/can't do, and that's why you can't play as a bad guy in FO4, and why there's so few skill checks.
The game was pretty okay to me until Bethesda broke the hell out of it with updates nobody asked for.

Also it's kinda ass how forced you are into the plot.
You ARE Nate the war vet or Nora the lawyer, you can't NOT be them. You ARE searching for your son. You care that your spouse gets shot, you care that your son's stolen, you have to kill Kellogg and go through his memories, you get a holotape from your spouse where they tell you how much they love you. All your decisions are made via "yes, yes (sarcastic), more info, and no (not yet)" because you're not the one in control of the story.
It's not like FO3 where the only locked-in part of the story is that you're off to find your dad and the GECK and your relationship with him is kept vague so you can choose what's going on, or FONV where the only locked-in plot is that you got shot in the head, and Ulysses tells you about a bunch of stuff you, the player, didn't do or really care about and have few reasons to believe in the first place.

They don't, they get rng bricked. When someone loses an A20 spire run there is always, without exception, a split decision point where they can go back and replay the seed and win. In balatro there are no outs because there are so few meaningful decisions to make. Optimal balatro play is simplistic to a fault. A well designed game should rely upon player input for the win or lose condition. Balatro is not a well designed game where your decisions matter. It is just so egregiously tipped in the player's favor that the brick situations are rare, but they do show up and they always murder early runs. There's even a very braindead simple way to fix this "issue". All you have to do is program in a weighted multiplier towards either chips or mult (whatever the player lacks in their field) through the first 3 antes. Guarantee to offer 1 chips and 1 mult joker to ger the player out of the early game rng cuck bottleneck then go hands off. But the dev is a codelet and that is probably too difficult for him to implement.

nearly every cardgame in existence has a severe penalty or loss-factor for exhausting your deck to 0, on top of having a hard restriction of 30-40-60-etc as the minimal deck size

in slay the spire, none of that matters. there's no penalty for decking out, you in fact shuffle your discard into your deck and simply draw your cards anew - which devolves the whole fucking thing into being a hand builder rather than a deck builder, because the game is missing half the ruleset of what makes a cardgame have legs to begin with

My 4-year old is obsessed with this game. But he still doesn't get how to use the controller, so I have to play. We've fully beaten it twice in the last couple months (finished game, all gems, all boos). I'm currently refusing to start another playthrough for a while.
And you're right, aside from bosses, the only two enemy types are introduced after the beginning. Of those two, only the double-tongue door ghost required a different technique to beat. This is more of a puzzle game.

But fuck these bosses:

Bloodborne is the same black and gray environment preceding another beast like boss that's so big your camera stares at his asshole the whole time. The same boss people would complain about in the other games. E.g. Sullivan's beasts in ds3. Oh and you'll use the same weapon the whole game too.

Persona 5. It dazzles you with the presentaiton and the first story arc which is good but it's a straight downwards ladder in quality after that which goes on for 100 hours.

Only ultra casual /v/ normalfags like this game. The gameplay itself is just kinda ass, very repetitive with very little run variation (which is kinda the whole point of roguelikes). Then after you beat it the first time all thats left is beating it a dozen times for a single tier of weapon upgrade. Shit was lame as fuck so I'm glad I pirated it first.

>>729956026
Blue Prince is such an odd game.
It starts out well enough, trying to get through the manor by placing rooms.
Then you discover the many puzzles and you go "wow, that impressive and cool, I get to solve puzzles while drawing random rooms".
And then a bit later you go "fuck, now I have to solve puzzles while drawing random rooms".
It trips over itself in the way it works. What seems like a cool idea at first turns into boredom and tedious runthroughs as you're looking for specific rooms and tools in specific order while also having limited money and time. Having randomization is so fucking annoying in a logical puzzle game.
It's like having a crossword puzzle where someone hides your pencil and parts of the puzzle every 4 minutes and you have to roll above 10 with two dice to get them back.

Sounds like it just wasn't your thing and that's fine but I don't get what you mean about the characters speaking as if they're from our current era. Disco Elysium would take place in the 70s or 80s approximately, which sounds about right. The guns may be barely as advanced as WW1 guns but the personal computers and the existence of fantasy tabletop roleplaying games clearly indicate that it probably takes place much later.

Elden Ring. I knew it wouldn't get better by the time I was done with Stormveil, but I just kept forcing myself through it. There's some good parts, I really like some of the bosses and the atmosphere in some areas, I like the world building and everything involving the Prince of Death is lvdo, there's also that one area that is basically an improved Great Archives from Dark Souls 3 with a much better gimmick and a less cool looking Crystal Sage, but it's genuinely a terrible game to me. I can't agree when people criticize it by saying "it's still better than 90% of games", I find it to be a 4/10.
I bought a PS4 in 2014 the moment they announced Bloodborne, that's how much faith I had in From Software. I didn't even bother with the DLC for Elden Ring, I didn't care to watch anything beyond the announcement trailer for Nightreign and I'm not gonna watch trailers for Duskblood either, it being on a platform I have no interest in makes it an easy skip while once upon a time From was reason enough to buy the platform.
Tarnished is what From's reputation looks like from my point of view now. Wait and see with everything. Armored Core VI was excellent, however, even if I also share some of the grievances people have with the way the ACs control.

Its mostly the humor that feels out of place. At one point the game used rap lyrics from a DMX song as part of a joke, and characters like measurehead and the cargo container guy feel like they are more so irl twitter shitposters inserted into the game than characters which could actually exist. There was other small things like Kim bringing up haplogroups to the lorrey driver to epicly pwn him reddit style that also felt really out of place.

Persona 5 is a big one, I didn't even like the dungeons. I used to beg for handcrafted dungeons like everyone else but they were so long and boring. I like the dungeons having a gimmick they repeat the gimmick far too much and they always overstay their welcome.
Ended up having more fun with Mementos, much to my surprise.
The story was also unbearable, way way way too much repetition of the same points, and I couldn't bring myself to just skip repeated dialog to improve my experience because I was always thinking "but what if they say something important here?" and they never do.
I'm still not sure how the pancakes thing was supposed to be a twist.

Most recent one is Sunless Skies. There some excellent things done in this game, but by the time I reached the second zone (Albion) I figured out I'd seen basically everything that the game had to offer
Not only that, but it's WAY too slow. I get that it's kinda the point, but this fucking game is basically 70% backtracking to grind money. At some point to preserve my sanity I modded the speed via cheat engine and ran it at x5 when doing deliveries.
Also the legacy system is kinda ass, basically permadeath with a sliver of NG+ but considering how fast you can die because of a wrong turn there's no fucking point in doing it unless you enjoy redoing the same quests every single time you die.

Divinity Original Sin 2
Killing Floor 2
FF8 is just shit outside of it's music and cardgame. Plotholes in the first 10-ish minutes. Trivialized equipment system.
DOS2's problem is that the game continues after act 2. You never learn new skills after half way into act 2 and yet there's still probably 10 more hours of just doing the same thing over and over. The writing also doesn't respect your choices or it's own in universe rules about source.
And KF2 is just a game that got systematically worse with each update after 1.0 release. Maybe even before that. We never got the kung-fu class. Swat only got a shield as a DLC WAY after release. The quality of the maps always felt like shit. They made all the zeds huge compared to the first game, but made all the maps postage stamps. Mix that with teleporting zeds and it completely killed certain styles of play. I could go on and on...

Fucking Oblivion, every 3 or 4 years the memories starts to fade and I start wondering if I had judged the game a little too harshly.
So every single time I reinstall it, and at first it's not so bad you know, maybe I really was wrong about it, sure the faces are impressively ugly and the environment is quite generic but there's some charm to it.
Except no, it's really that bad and no amount of modding can fix it, level scaling is barely scratching the surface when there's so much more going on.

>>729966923
Late reply, but:
FF6 is over-rated as fuck. The story struggles under the weight of too many characters. None of which get enough time and many that are under utilized.
FF7 is a fine game. Personally I've started hating FF7 more and more as each new side story or iteration of it comes out. But the first game is good.
FF9 is great. It's main problem is that really only Zidane, Garnet, and Vivi matter to the story. Freya disappears after the start of disc 2, Eiko pops in and out, but always attached to Garnet same as Steiner. Quina and Amarant as there I guess?
FFX is also great. It's linear as fuck, but not in a tedious way like 13 will be. I can't bring myself to play it again anymore because I replayed the start so many times.
FFX-2 is better than it has any right to be. Of course getting the 100% playthrough is a pain in the ass because of all the little interactions in the game.
Bonus: FF12. Great gameplay, story sucks because things are always happening just over there off screen and never where your characters are.
FF13 sucks ass. It falls into all the same holes 8 did mechanically, but also has shitier characters (barring Vanille and Fang) 40 hour tutorial is not a meme.
FF13-2 like X-2 it's better than it should be. They fixed so many problems that 13 had.
FF13-3 it's so close to being a good game. The dress system is a neat idea, but not all dresses are made equal. There's a couple that are just better because they have an inbuilt skill that trivializes fights after you get it. It's also got a neat genocide system.

I agree on a lot of your points.

for 7 I just ignore the side games. I wonder how the original team feels about all these shit games.
Love all the other games except for 8 which I never got to play because my disc 1 would crash after the first Ifrit fight or something, apparently it's a common problem.

Ignore the faggots in your replies, the input reading in ER was blatant and retarded
I know it's blatant and retarded because I went back to DS3 to test and you can gargle Estus in Friede's face without her doing anything.
Also, SotE removed or at least significantly toned down the input reading which contributes to why that DLC is 5x better than everything in the bast game combined

>>729935612
The biggest memory recently was the first Outer Worlds. I played it through GamePass and I still feel like I wasted money on it.

Bananza powers and unlocks just made things easier.
Lots of things repeat or are barely changed and it feels samey.

RDR2. By the time I got to Saint Denis it felt like a slog.

I hate how no matter how much high your block is, all of it is lost on the next turn
I also hate that any leftover unused cards in your hand just go to the discard.
I don't see why can't block just stay up, or at least have any remaining block get converted into health. And I don't see why I can't just keep the cards in my hand each turn; Imagine Yu-Gi-Oh doing this.

Being good at Balatro is knowing which cards work together well and not being afraid of the Uncommon and Rare cards which have more complicated rules than just adding bonuses.

This anon gets it
I skipped original 3D game and went for 2.5D one because people gloated it's DKC tier, but the only fun part of the game were overworld puzzles. Mind you, I found them to be so fun I think this is how potential following DKC games should've designed their overworlds... but the actual "double level" system didn't matter at all as the actual level design was boring in both versions. Doesn't help that the tonic system is garbage (good tonics nerf quill gain to a zero, penalty tonics let you get more quills but why not just buy good tonics first and 80% of other tonics are just graphics filters).
And then I actually tried 3D Yooka game and found it to be at least more enjoyable than Impossible Lair. Never falling for "it's just as good as DKC!" meme ever again.

>>729941747
I play a good deal of Ascension(pic related) which starts both players with a deck of ten cards, 8 apprentices and 2 militia, which create runes to buy cards and power to kill monsters respectively.
The general strategy is that you want buy better cards from the draft pool and get rid of, or upgrade, the starting cards as quickly as possible so you can get the better cards you acquire more often and eventually pull off nutz turns.

What becomes important is the strategy of when NOT to acquire cards, even if it'll cause you to waste resources because:
- It might reveal a better card your opponent could pick up
- it doesn't synergize with your current strategy
- You'll get one or two less turns with a "power" card you picked up earlier.

Ultimately the game will end before players get "draw your deck" turns in most cases, so I'd consider checking it out if that's your hang-up.

Gears of War 4. I've just beat GoW3 (yeah I kinda missed out on the series back in time after GoW2), and it was a massive disappointment from the very first minutes up to the first cinematic of act 2 when I uninstalled the game. Idk what the new studio was doing with the game, but it wasn't a gears of war, it was some faggy teenage drama with non-characters for main cast.

>>729980395
I did find it that bad, but I don't disagree. The overworld puzzles and having shit in the overworld affect the levels are the most interesting parts of the game.

It's just that the game has flaws that build on each other that make it so frustrating to me. Instead of a normal health system you have Laylee and if you lose Laylee she moves around like an erratic Baby Mario, and she often gets stuck or clips into terrain, so I usually didn't bother trying to get her back. But if you do that, you lose access to some moves. If you don't have those moves, you often can't get all the TWIT coins in a level. You need TWIT coins to get past the paywalls on the overworld. You need to beat as many levels as possible to get all the fucking bees because God knows the rest of the game does not prepare you for the Lair. And so forth and so on.

>>729987729
What I really hated about RDR2 was the ending. Now that I think about it's the same with RDR. Both endings were great on the face of it, for something like a film. But this is a game. I don't want to put hours and hours into a character just at the end for it to be "right, you can't play as this character anymore you have to use this brand new one"
The other obvious thing about RDR2 were the side missions. I like to do the main storyline first and then go back to the side missions. Only here some of them are time specific and it gives you no warning about that so if you miss them you miss them, unless you start from the beginning again.
