I finally have a computer that can run Cyberpunk 2077, but it is such a dull game.

Dispatch.

It goes the old telltale way of presenting fake choices that dont really matter because the optional character are being written out of team scenes mostly, one romance option is completely ignored because the devs clearly favoured the other and put her in every scene and the dispatching minigame they advertised the game with has absolutely 0 impact on anything. You could fail every dispatch, only do the mandatory ones and nothing would change.

The Elden Ring.

The open world just did not do it to me. I enjoy much more tighter game world like in the previous souls games.

Most of the side bosses were unintresting and if you found them too late you were completely overpowered.

Do you have a general reason? Giving the name of the game doesn't do much when i don't know why you didn't like it.

For me, it's borderlands 2

I thought the gameplay was pretty good, in a "turn your brain off and shoot guys with gradually increasing numbers" kind if way, and I absolutely adored whenever Handsome Jack showed up, but that's pretty much it

I've heard from more than a few sources that the shooting on that game's peak, but it's just kind of generic. Outside of Jack, I thought the writing was honestly pretty lacklustre as well, even getting annoying in more than one instance (CATCH A RIIIIIDE FUCK OFF DIPSHIT). The cell-shaded artsyle is quite pretty, I will give it that

At its core, I think it's just... fine.

I love that game, spent hundreds of hours in it a while back, and don't remember fuck all about the story.

it's a shoot 'em up loot game, and it does a great job of it IMO

absolutely a brainded activity though. it and Bioshock are two different frames of mind when you're playing them

Persona. I didnt play it to the end. Not even sure I past the tutorial. So many text boxes. So much dialogue.

Super Tux Party

I'm sorry but we need something more modern

[–] Butterpaderp@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Doom dark ages. Just upgraded my computer, and I thought 'hey, I really liked 2016 and eternal, this'll be great, and it's got great reviews'. Nah, the whole game just felt...okay. I might try it again at some point and mess with the difficulty settings, but I felt like I was forcing myself to play it the whole way through.

statisfactory 1.0: the game is pure eye candy there's no endgame. factorio is leaps and bounds better

Bg3. I think the flaws are glaringly obvious and everyone has heard them already (inventory, everything after act 1, the main characters being generally gross) it's just whether they're a deal breaker for you personally. For me they are, especially inventory.

[–] BryceBassitt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The characters being gross? Im not sure ive heard that complainant, could you elaborate please

The Outer Worlds was so bad I had to put the controller down and abandon it. A fan made song got the feeling of "dystopian capitalism in space" better than the actual game did.

And an older one that'll get me burned at the stake: Fallout New Vegas is the worst of the first person fallout games.

Graphics are great. Hardware requirements are low, but there are bugs that accumulate with more play time. Learning curve is infinite and permadeath is only option despite a bunch of claims to mod/patch it. PVP is broken, constant spawn camping and pay to play behavior. Microtransactions are a pain. Huge variety of mission types, yet it still ends up feeling like a bunch of fetch quests sometimes. Side quests are the way to go, the main campaign is not super rewarding

Side quests are the way to go, the main campaign is not super rewarding

The worst part is that you're forced to spend at least 1/3 of your time playing grinding out the main campaign. Then you are highly incentivised to spend another 1/3 of your time in game not playing due to the rest mechanic. That only leaves 1/3 of your time in game for any other tasks, including extra preparation for the main quest. Not to mention the fatigue system which often leaves you unable to do side quests when you have the opportunity.

I'm glad I didn't roll any of the classes with extra lives, to be honest.
