Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

      I feel this way about basically any Souls game. I’ve tried several of them thinking I would get the hype after playing for a while, but I still am kind of mystified by the mentality of those who really enjoy those games. I never get that sense of reward and accomplishment people describe for finally defeating a difficult boss, just sort of mild irritation.

      That’s all the FromSoft games to be fair. I’m forcing myself to finish Dark Souls one for the first time right now and straight up? I fucking hate this game.

        Curious why you’re forcing yourself to finish a game you don’t like. I usually drop at this point, because I play games for fun. Are you a completionist who’ll get some satisfaction when it’s all done, or someone who has to write a gaming review? I realize my tone seems judgmental but I’m really just curious and am not sure how to better word my post to come off as less judgmental.

          Sort of the completionist thing, it’s just one of those games people rant and rave about, so I want to have the experience. I also rode every roller coaster in a very popular amusement park just so I could say I have done it and will never again. I’m a crazy person.

      As soon as I saw it’s locked at 30fps, it immediately killed any amount of interest I had in playing it. All the power to people who can stomach action games at what feels like a slide-deck input response.
