I’ll start. pokemon. doesn’t matter if the game’s old or new I just can’t get into how it plays. idk the gameplay just gets old to me pretty quickly, palworld is an upgrade in every way tbh

    Grand Theft Auto

    The whole concept is profoundly uninteresting to me

    And I feel there is a fundamental tension between the enjoyable part of the games (Over-the-top city chaos with lots of explosions, often aided by cheats) and what the games WANT to be (serious crime dramas I think?)

      The story of GTA is pretty good most of the time.

      It is not dead serious, but a satire of the time and place the respective title is set in.

      Felt the same way about GTA. I don’t think the story is supposed to be serious though, but it certainly is disjointed and not very compelling.

      Have you ever play the Mafia games? Those games felt like a much better story with the right mix of city destroying chaos. Not quite as open as GTA, but I don’t really think that’s a bad thing. I really enjoyed 3 despite the missions being fairly repetitive. There’s just something about running around killing the Klan that just doesn’t get old to me.
