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.

    Anything with that boring lazy Batman Arkham fighting system that they put in every game anymore.

    It’s such a shitty fighting system. I don’t understand why people like it. It’s just an extended QuickTime event. The same identical QuickTime event, over and over again, for fucking hours. It wasn’t so bad in Arkham because the stealth was so fun that I never fought unless I had to.

    But for 15 years it’s infected every other goddamn game. Shadows of Mordor, Mad Max, Ghosts of Tsushima off the top of my head.

    It sucks. It’s awful. Harrumph.

      At first I liked it because it was good for people like me who like games but are really not good at them, but yeah, it’s way overdone now.

      It’s weird because I always think of it as the Sands of Time combat system.

      …ghost of Tsushima has the best and most satisfying combat system in recent memory.

      The Perry was the most satisfying in any game (imo obviously).
