The yearly installment games, be it sports, CoD, or similar. How can you have the patience to play essentially the same game again but pay $100+ for it along with a reset of all progress?

Halo, i love the sci fi concept designs by sparth, but for some reason the game feels so bland to me.

Flavor-of-the-week games.

These are games that get streamed and people just mindlessly fall over on themselves to get - simply because they watched a streamer play them. It's happened with Fall Guys, it's happened with Simulator games, it's happened with other similar games. They would be popular for a good two weeks worth and then dead afterwards just so people can fawn over the next game.

It is a symptom of people chasing that carrot on the stick.

Extraction shooters. You work your ass off to get gear, only to lose it to some griefing asshole hiding in a dark corner. Assuming you actually don't lose your gear to players, server wipes are almost mandatory to keep people playing and to try and level the playing field. They're like a worse battle royal.

Guild Wars 2.

I mean I can kind of see what makes it so popular but I gave it a fair shake and even got into the first DLC after reaching the max level and I was just utterly bored. The story is super mediocre, the combat is mediocre, the world looks nice but is really boring, everything is just grind after checklist after grind... I kept wondering when it gets fun and it never really does. People kept selling it to me as the greatest MMORPG out there and it might be one of the most boring, at least IMO.

It's also a confusing jumbled mess of 500 different mechanics that don't fit well together, the game never explains how crafting works or where you can find the materials you need or what 99% of the items are used for. It doesn't explain why you would want to beat bosses or do dungeons because all of the rewards are very superficial and useless. The devs gave up having to explain anything so the game just constantly points you to the wiki which is indecipherable unless you know exactly what to do.

I've played a lot of MMOs and enjoyed all of them except GW2.

Not a fan of FPS. I have played my fair share of them when I was a teenager since it's all my friends would play, but today I simply can't stand any of them anymore

Cones of Dunshire. It’s too complicated.

Death stranding was the most boring trudge of a game I've ever played. I have no idea why it's so popular.

pretty much anything ea makes. Sports games especially.

90% of the "early access" games that are so poor people spend time on mods to try and make them playable. Here's a hint. If you need lots of QOL mods, then the game is crap. You are really just playing mods.

Games with a lifecycle of a fly. This companies release the exact same game each year for full price, and people play it. How do people approve such behaviour from compaines? Do they actully not notice that its basicallly same game with some small changes enough to sell it as different game? Do people have that much money to spend on this overpriced games?

Minecraft. I'll never understand why people like that game.

What is "gacha"? I don't game almost at all anymore but never heard this.

Most super mainstream games especially ones that are loosely based on reality in the modern era GTA, COD for example. I'm not saying these are bad as games, but they are so RIDICULOUSLY popular and I do not see the appeal.

Uncharted 1 and 2 (didn't play the others)

Drake is very charming. Everything else is just kinda okay. The action is kinda floaty, the platforming feels like it's on rails, jump to a disapproved section and you die, the supernatural stuff always feels out of place, the story isn't memorable, some artifact or something.
