I did this with Cruelty Squad, Hylics, and to a lesserextentt Underrail.

For the most part it was either the difficulty or not knowing what I should be doing.

Cyberpunk fits this bill for me.

For me it was RDR2.

Looks absolutely incredible, especially considering its on last gen consoles, but it's just so clunky and boring to me. Realism is great and all but if it gets in the way of fun gameplay then I'd prefer it if my horses testicles didn't shrink in the cold.

Do they still have profanity checks when naming the horses?

Deus Ex. I think I'm too much of a zoomer or too shit in stealth to play it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

tbf it’s a fairly niche game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, this would be my answer too. I bought them all cause they looked awesome. But only played about a hour of the first one. I should go back and play the newest one. I think the first one may have just been to old for me.

Watch Dogs Legion. I have played it so I don't know if it still counts, but after beating it once, I only start it up for the graphics since the gameplay doesn't really interest me.

Ugh, so many to list...LA Noir comes to mind. I played for a few hours and decided I hated the interrogation mechanics. What were supposed to be micro expressions and the responses felt more random than anything to me. Looked great for its time but I just did not enjoy it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh buddy I feel the same way about LA Noire. Seemed really promising but the thin lines between Doubt and Lie drove me mad and had me reloading the game.

I feel like I'm just not cut out for detective games

Destiny2
I finished the story and then quit playing. I'm a mmorpg player, but I didn't enjoy grinding in this game for some reason.

Don’t Starve. It’s not even that it doesn’t look fun, I just haven’t gotten into it.

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

Dishonored. Looked like the perfect game but the gameplay style just didn't click with me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

omg this one. it has all the pieces. it even has a half life 2 feel about it. why the hell can't I keep my interest past the first section? I've tried to start this game 4 times now and just can't I guess.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Omori. I just like the colors and characters sketches of the game. I just never played it enough to progress with the story and I don’t have time to play games anymore :(

Disco Elysium. Looked fun to play on streams and got good reviews, it is still on my to-play list but wow 2019-2020 was a wild time irl.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Bought it because it seemed intriguing and I read good things about it plus people raved about it on Twitter. Played for a couple of hours but the dice mechanics confused me and I didn't really follow through. I had never played an RPG with that type of mechanics before, and there wasn't enough documentation within the game that made sense to me.

Fallen Order. Went on sale for like $5, heard nothing but absolute praise, bought it, played it for about 30 minutes and never touched it again. No reason, it looks fun, I just never got back into it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's pretty short. Could probably knock it out in a day. That said its pretty good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's nothing to do with the length of it. Just getting myself to sit down and actually get started again. I always opt for FPS or some sort of multi-player game. Story driven single player games put me on snooze

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

Alan Awake. I finally got around to playing it recently and something about the camera movement/placement turned me off. Dead Space has the same issue for me.

Sorta related, I bought Clive Barkers Undying twice (at different stores) without realizing it. One of the copies I left in the bag and stuck it in a closet for whatever reason. It was an awesome game though. I've played through it several times now.

[–] scutiger 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed about Alan Wake. Your character doesn't walk towards the center of the screen, which is really annoying. I don't know who thought that was a good idea.

Fallout 4, Spiderman. I think I have open world game burnout

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Transistor. The game is gorgeous, and I love everything about it. But whenever I start playing it I find myself losing interest quickly. Not 100% sure why as on paper it should be one of my favorite games.

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

Cuphead. I just don't have the patience. Maybe I'll give it a second chance someday

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's me with a lot of those games that seem designed around being a challenge like Dark Souls for example
