FNAF. Just a cheap jump scare game popularised by shitty youtubers. I literally don't understand how it got so big other than children being easily amused.

Fight me.

Call of Duty. I had fun for the first few and Modern Warfare, but then it just kept going.

FIFA, NBA, Madden or any popular sports game, really. Just to start off, I don't like sports games in general, but that's on me. The part I don't understand is the level of hype for each new iteration when for the last decade it's been the same game with the same engine, same effects, slightly different roster and sometimes even missing features. Like, what are people excited for exactly? More of the same?

Dark souls and the like. It just feels tedious and boring. Monster Hunter is the same for me

CoD and Battlefield. There is so much war in the modern world and all it creates is sorrow. Not sure why i'd want to re-enact that.

GTA. I'm a SciFi and fantasy guy so it just doesn't do anything for me.

Mobile games that have a cooldown timer when you play too much. Oh you don't want me to play your game anymore? Cool. Uninstalled.

Pokemon. Behind the pleasant facade of the game series, there is a reality: people kidnap animals in the forest, lock them in pokeballs, and force them to fight in arenas, at least until they are damaged. I didn't understand this game series when I was younger and I still don't. Do people really like playing this game?

Final Fantasy.

Music is good, but the story seems drawn out and repetitive, and a little too "edgy", mainly with Cloud's story.

Final fantasy and everything Hideo Kojima. I don't get it.

Not a series but I tried playing Witcher 3 because of the meme about how much redditors loved it. I played for about 10 hours and got bored and never bothered playing again. I wouldn't say it's a bad game but I didn't understand the hype. Also, despite playing it years late with a decent graphics card, I had regular issues with frames. That is not a performant game.

Don't really have one of those I suppose :3.. even with games that are very much not my cup of tea I can see what aspects may be enjoyable to other people

Persona 5 and disco Elysium.

Gameplay akin to pulling your own teeth out but you don't even get to choose which tooth you want to pull

BioShock! I somehow missed it years ago when it came out, so I've had nothing to go off of for all this time, and I was excited to finally have a chance to sit down with it recently after 15+ years of hearing people rave about how amazing and fun it is.

The artists involved were obviously very skilled, it's visually gorgeous even a decade and a half later, and the sound design is top notch. No complaints there, and if that's what the hype was all about, then it's well-deserved.

However, the plot was almost non-existent, leaving me wondering what the hell my character was motivated by for the vast majority of the first game. Then there were a couple "twists" that I saw coming a mile away near the very end of the game. It felt like watching a young adult fantasy show or something, I dunno.

I managed to finish the first game, feeling very disappointed, and figured the 2nd one might be better. I made it only a few hours into that before I lost interest in it entirely and have yet to drag myself back to finish it. The story was maybe slightly better in BioShock 2, but not by much and not enough to keep me going.

There are people I know who are obsessed with this game series, and I just do not get it, even after giving it more of a chance to hook me than I give to most games. The only thing I can think of is that maybe they played it initially when they were kids/teenagers, and nostalgia has carried them through the series to overlook how utterly dull it actually is. I'm not going to challenge people on it or anything, I'm glad people enjoy it, but I don't understand the why (aside from the art).

Elder Scrolls and Fallout. This style of game is just super hard to get into. I get super bored after a few hours

Yet unmentioned: Halo. I remember being introduced to the first one and being completely unimpressed. It just wasn't that much technically better than the competition, and the world as far as I could see was super boring.

Anything with PvP.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

It was my first Zelda game, and I did not know anything about the characters or the world. Any story bits that give the characters any personality are collectibles that you find out of order.

The game just could not make me care about the world or the characters.

By the time I finished the game, I was just glad it was over. Though I did finish it.

Hollow Knight. I know the new game is coming out tomorrow (?) but I just couldn't get into the way the game feels. I love Metroidvanias but something about Hollow Knight and it's gameplay just didn't make me come back for more.

Balatro.
