Happens to newfags every single time.

Greatest games ever tend to be good start to finish. But there's a lot of good games with a bad start. Wrath of the Righteous, Stellar Blade, Resident Evil 9, the list goes on

>>741815527
Okami has some horrendous pacing

>>741815715
This is the one.

>>741815527
Games shouldn't get good after a while. YOU should enjoy the gaming experience more or less from the start. It should hook you with SOMETHING that keeps you engaged. If, for whatever reason, you are not enjoying your gaming experience, you should put the game down.

>>741815527
Can't be the greatest game in existence if the start is boring.
If it was the greatest game, it would be perfect from start to finish.

>>741815715
I watched all of the anime because people kept insisting it's great and it was dogshit start to finish. Waifufags are dishonest twats and praise the shitty story instead of just saying they like it because of their waifu

>>741815527
Crimson Desert is the best example of this.

I love this picture, because it shows how most people lack theory both theory of mind or a value of their own time. The man doesn't know the diamonds are there, for all he knows there are no diamonds or there is a lake of liquid shit after he has spent hours, days, weeks, months, or years of chipping away. He's making a rational decision to walk away, but faggots either think he should just know to keep going, or remember that, "All gamblers are just 1 bet away from winning big!"

I wouldn't say its the greatest in existence, but it's pretty fucking great once you get past the start.
The start is absolute dog shit though and I can't fault a soul who gets filtered.

Depending on which game in the series the prologue can take a long ass time before it gets to the good parts.

Also, unironically Final Fantasy XIV. The gets good after X amount of hours is very true for the game, but is worth it once you can get past A Realm Reborn.

>>741815806

For me Deus Ex is the opposite of this. Never left Liberty Island, but I have beaten that level several times. Yes, I was diagnosed with autism.

KOTOR 2's is fucking boring and made me never play the game again even tho I loved 1.

Kenshi

>>741816116
For me it's more of the slow start and figuring out how skills works. I think it's a good tutorial and once you start getting skill points and leveling up it opens up. I always eventually start missing the start of the game being weak and punching geckos with Sulik.

>>741815527
Might be Sekiro for me, I was getting filtered by the general guy after the tutorial boss

If you're not into weapon/stance switching you simply won't enjoy the game, same with the DMC games. You can only enjoy them if you also enjoy constantly swapping to different weapons/stances during combat.

FFXIV. Eventually you skip enough cutscenes to reach Shadowbringers and Endwalker which are PEAK FF experiences and if they were solo titles would easily be top 5 FF games ever made, but to get there you need to waste like 200 hours unironically on boring story and bad cutscenes, closer to 50 if you skip them all which is highly advised since they're irrelevant by the time you reach the good stuff.

>>741815527
Dragons Dogma for me. Thought it was going to be a high octane non stop thrill ride action game, got filtered after getting to Gran Soren for the first time. Thought it was broing as fuck. Years later and with a different level of maturity I gave it a second chance and found it to be one of my favorite games. It's not the game I thought it was going to be, turns out it's more of a slow burn hiking simulator adventure game.

I have a friend who never played an MMO before but doesn't have a problem playing hundreds of hours of JRPGs

Suprised nobody has mentioned the C&C and Red Alert games. The first few missions are always so fucking bare bone and only allows you to build boring, low-tier units.

>>741818260
I forgot the text of my post at home...

The office sector is really fucking bad, even if you're playing for the first time. You have no options, nothing to do but break computers, barely any lore, no idea how fun things will become when you start being able to use ramps, bridges, pets, cool weapons, or weird inventions. You have a shield, lamp spear, a pipe and a pen crossbow for all of this sector, and they all suck even against basic non-pest monsters.

Trails in the sky is kinda meh 1st chapter and gets better 2nd chapter. Does being mad for an entire game count?

Its not really bad... its just not great at the start. And the stakes are super low so you have lots of world building and character personalities being built out that its a bit of a drag with nothing super crazy happening for most of the game. But it is charming overall.

You start of the game confused by the HQ, walking around and kinda doing nothing until you figure out how to enter the actual first level and then get filtered by enemies and I think many people drop it right there because they think "ok so it's just a meme game, it's not actually good" and don't stick with it until it clicks. It's actually a good imsim, but I feel people are primed to dismiss it because they assume it's not deeper than its presentation.

some players are just retarded and expect everything to be scaled to their level. They try to go through quarry junction and when they die over and over, it doesn't even occur to them to go the other way. Games like FO3 and Oblivion have made them feel entitled to victory.

The game takes way too long to give you all your shit.
>Only can use 2 blades until the end of ch. 3
>Only 3 party members until the end of chapter 4 which is like 40% of the way through the game
>Tora doesn't unlock a second blade until the end of chapter 4 as well meaning he's locked to ONE blade and is boring as hell to play as until then.

Unironically the story is hit and miss in the first half, there's great parts and bad parts, but the gameplay is ass until literally halfway through the game which is like 35 hours. By the end of the game it's my favorite combat in the Xeno series though.

What's there to get?

>>741815527
mostly any good game with 'progression'.
starting as a piece of shit that turns into a hero, not by cutscene or plot contrivance, but through adventure, exploration, and experience.

Monster Hunter generally being the most significant, excepting Wilds, where there is no progression, just a boring fucking rofl stomp until 8* quests before the experience turns to overtune cope to justify the brand as delivering the 'tough' in tough-but-fair, FAR too late.

>>741834808
haha she has powers but is completely unaware of it now let's drive this shit to the ground over the next endless 8 episodes

>>741832031
my literal boomer dad who used to play a number of game genres would make spreadsheets and docs to help plan his progression or work out mechanics, however now a decade later he wants everything to be simple and spoon fed or he just doesn't bother with it.

All media is undermining our attention span these days. Films shorten the time between cuts, games explode in your face every five seconds, music can't take time to build up a song it has to be right in your face out the gate, and of course tiktok encourages you to shorten your attention to any video down to literal seconds, and on youtube if you click a mr beast video he yells at you in less than a second. It's cancer.

>>741829796
no it isn't if you have more than ~100 hours in tide games and play havoc40
the enemies are blatantly unfun to play against because cuckshark can't balance their hardmodes for shit, meanwhile vermintide holds up despite only being drip-fed maps by a mentally retarded C-team

>>741834358
If it's not bad it's pretty close to it. I came out of the anime disappointed with how stupid the characters acted the whole time. Like why was almost everyone in that show supposed to be a smart engineer or scientist but can't understand basic shit like the danger of a time machine?

>>741836413
One of the characters I think was supposed to be retarded, all she says is tuturu all the time. Everyone else there's not really any good excuse for.

the funniest part about ff13 is that when you get to the part people pretend is good, you realize the game is worse and the restrictions were there to trick you into thinking it wasnt dogshit

If it has souls combat, dungeons, not shit lighting, shit stutters and optimization, and an amazing story like Elden Ring then yes it might be considered OPs game. But it isn't so it's not.

It's gotta be Baldur's Gate 3 right?
I have never played past act one for more than a few minutes.
I get bored with my build and want to try something new, I wander off and play something else. The rest of the game gets better right?

>>741836391
Yeah, zoomers get shit on for it the most. But it's happening to everyone, and I fucking hate it.

cheap melodrama with no interesting side characters, shitty villians and lots of retcons that ruin the good lore and story beats from previous expansions. you are probably a WoWrefugee.

Asking zoomers and gen A to read 100s of hours of MSQ with no voice acting. Rise of fully voiced gachas has made ff14 not only look dated visually but story presentation too.

RE5, where the 7th gen-isms of the campaign (especially if you try to play it solo) can throw you off before beating it, leading to you never getting to experience the incredible Mercs content.

You should see the kinds of circlejerks pseuds have for this anime. The S;G hate is deserved.

>>741840216
The first time i played kdc1 i quit at the first fight because the combat was shit, I returned to the game and played 60 hours and quit again because honestly the combat was shit. The rest of the game was fantastic though.

If the game isn't good in the first 2-5 hours it's unlikely for it to ever get good.

If you actually want to give it another shot, just pick 2 back up, you dropped it right when most people think it starts getting good. Like i remember it was incredibly common for people to not like the game up through Mor Ardain and then enjoy everything after that. Of course its also possible you just don't like Xeno games, so i wouldn't force yourself.

>>741836974
? the combat gets way more fun after the restrictions come off, but the rest of the game still sucks so it doesn't save it.

Im hoping it's Songs of Syx. I had a couple false starts on the demo a while back but now I got the full version and am very excited about my latest attempt. Hoping to stick it out and build a badass city state. If the game falls apart at scale I don't wanna hear about it, I'll learn the hard (fun) way.

Hello Todd! When is TES6 coming out?

>>741816657
You need to learn to read the manual first, and imagine it as more of a passive battling system and time your button presses to the animation. On the third attack animation you time your button press and your meter gets bigger.

I will make a huge recommendation to play XC1,XC2 and XC3 on Switch. Do not play XC1 on WII XC1 Definitive Edition is much easier to get into and it will start you out correctly, and if you can get the Switch 2 with the DE edition of XC1 and XC2 go for it.

>>741815969
Oh you mean the sequel, right?

Two of what people swear are the greatest games ever, and I can't say I enjoy the start of either.

Easily the worst game fucking ever until you net some fat fucking loot for the instant QoL upgrades. Then it's just Super Metroid with building and crafting upgrades and it becomes crack addiction again. The start is 1000% boring and bad. This is the thread answer.
