2 picks for me: Stardew Valley, most boring shit ever, I don't see the appeal, seriously how the hell did that thing sold 20 million copies?

And Witcher 3, I own that game since 2019 and I regret buying it, funny thing is that I've finished Dragon Age 1 and 2, which are kinda same genre but I actually enjoyed those games. I guess the old BioWare sauce carried those games unlike Witcher where there's nothing to enjoy in its massive pointless world.

Any first person shooter. I'm just not into something that requires that kind of reflexes and precision, especially with a first person perspective where you can be killed instantly from behind.

I agree. On top of that, I get motion sick really easily, so I can play a lot of FPS games for about 15 minutes max.

Or if you develop wrist pain... most FPSs just go right out the window. Or you play on controller and get whomped by the mouse and keyboard players.

Controller is actually better in most modern FPS games due to over tuned aim assist. Gone are the days of mnk supremacy in fps games

Maybe I'm just bad then. Wouldn't surprise me 😬

The way it’s worked for a few years is that the bottom half of controller players are about even with the mid tier mnk players and then the top tier controller players are better than the top tier mnk players.

It’s not an issue if you only play casually, but if you get into the high level competitive stuff it quickly becomes seen.

I wish I was bad enough to not be part of the group affected. Games would be so much more fun

First person shooters are just dumbed down point and click games.

It is like they just removed the entire puzzle element, so you can play brainless.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's not fair, mostly within the context of multiplayer. The puzzle is outsmarting other players.

For real. What a reductive analysis of a large and varied genre.

You can literally call any game a point and click game.
