recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that
not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation
with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~
Oblivion, Morrowind and probably Skyrim too. The open world didn’t captivate me, it just felt too big, too sparse and ultimately not interesting.
Same goes for Breath of the Wild. The world is just too barren. It doesn’t help that I feel like the weapon breaking is extremely stressful.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is too slow and clunky. The skinning animation made me uninstall. It does not respect my time.
Kinda funny, because I don’t mind grinding in arpgs. Maybe because they are faster-paced when the combat happens, and then you start wracking your brain with the theorycrafting side of builds.
