It's gotta be the Sims.

I recall playing 2 and 3, only occasionally, because every time I would set it up, I'd play for a day or even just a couple hours. Then I go do other things, or I sleep through the night. Then come back thinking "what was I even doing?" Before deleting the save and uninstalling the game.

I don't understand the time investment in a fake family, trying to make positive changes in a Sims life, and it only makes me feel worse about trying to improve my own situation. I don't think I would get the perspective of someone who thoroughly enjoys this.

Football (soccer).

I grew up with doom/unreal tourn/quake...all with heavy mods etc... so now every single first person game feels like just a mod of a generic first person shooter. Halo, skyrim, bioshock, rdr... it's like I'm ruined for an entire section of games.

Red Dead Redemption 2 for me.

The mechanics and controls just piss me off to no end.

Life

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.

Every popular game has a reason. The reason might be stupid, but it is a reason.

Genshin impact gets annoying and grindy from what i’ve seen and there isnt even gooner characters like in zzz. (Take ts with a pinch of salt since i haven’t played it much)

Old RPGs.

They shouldn't be popular, they should be wildly popular.

Maaan, easy: soulslike. Combat so slow, they're the closest real-time combat will get to turn-based. Everything moves at a snail's pace in most of those games, holy shit.

If I want difficulty, I'll just play Bayonetta or Ninja Gaiden or something, it does not need to be slow and boring AF.

Deep rock galactic, tried playing with friends a few times and holy shit I would rather watch grass grow. I have never played a game that made me disassociate to that extent.

Also the endless repetition of a few extremely unfunny lines by the fans reminds of Rick and Morty fans.

Easy Delivery Co.

Bought it because of the hype and it was cheap. Just don't get it.

I don't understand why The Elder Scrolls series has so much goodwill, there are many better, more interesting RPGs out there. The sandbox factor has the depth of a puddle as well.
