Souls

I loved bloodborne, and play through it almost weekly, but I can't into any of the "Souls" games at all. It's not even a "git gud" type of scenario, I'm not BAD at them really, and have gotten far-ish in at least 1 and 3, but I just don't find it as fun at all. I can't into anything medieval fantasy though at all, so that's probably more to do with that than the gameplay.

Out of the games, DaS 1 probably kept me invested the longest, but less out of enjoyment, and more because of the retard tier community with goofy ass mask cosplays and FUCK YEA MOTHERFUCKER roll spam comics and stuff. DaS 2 bored the piss out of me by the tower of flame, and DaS 3 bored me by the abyss watchers but I muscled through until the dancer and just said fuck it.

Everyone praises Souls PvP over BB too, but I can't stand it in comparison. I prefer these crazy ass anime fights where a dude with tentacles can go beat the shit out of a werewolf man and an anorexic woman with a giant blood mace over a medieval duel any day

I do prefer Souls covenants and invasion systems over BB's though

Earlier this year I just wanted to see what all the rage was. Played Dota 2 for a couple hours with two friends, and I really couldn't get into it. It was just plain not enjoyable. The pacing is weird and sluggish. The way the whole item shop thing worked was kind of retarded. And there was a bunch of other little shit that turned me off. It was pretty boring and unengaging, too.

I don't understand why these games are so fucking popular. It's bizarre.

The first one? Yeah, that game is a fucking drag. I forced myself to get through it just so I could get to the next games, and it paid off somewhat because Witcher 2 is a huge improvement (from what I've seen so far, I still haven't beaten it).

The first game has some decent aspects to it, like the story can be interesting and I like how there's an in-game encyclopedia. On the other hand, the combat is pretty shitty, and it's just overall a mostly boring game. The low budget definitely does not help either with some weird voice acting and many NPCs looking exactly the same. And the game is so goddamn drawn-out and long. Running back and forth everywhere a million times.

I honestly believe that with all of the hype and GOTY awards that Witcher 3 got, that a majority of those people didn't play the first game, especially since it's only on PC.

Open world games desu

In games like Elder Scrolls, GTA, RDR, I don't feel any sense of success or progression until it's over, and I don't feel any sort of drive to explore because everything I can find in an open world game is just more of the fucking same.

Go into a hidden dungeon in Skyrim? Zombies, Skeletons, or dwarven robots, with shitty treasure at the end. Felt the same in Oblivion. Nothing poses a fucking threat in GTA or RDR 90% of the time, and there's fuck all to get by exploring.

The only games I felt did open world well are Dark Souls (the first half), and Banjo fucking Tooie. Dark Souls at least had a sense of real danger because you could go into the wrong area and get FUCKED if you were bad at the game, while Banjo Tooie had a neat way of interconnecting levels, with the jiggy requirements of new areas encouraging exploration of old ones using new abilities.

inb4 "the witcher 3 did it well" because whoever says that can fuck off. Randomly spiking the levels of enemies in the story so that you're forced to ride your slow ass horse around and do sidequests until you're strong enough is a shitty way of gating content while still pretending to be "free".

RTS.

My micro is just too shit. My macro is as well, I'm sure.

I just want to let one thing finish before starting the next. Or at least get everything I want done queued up before the game continues.

I'm also really bad at control groups and shit. Just too many buttons for me to be pressing 1-4 and attack moving between them. I'm just dumb, I guess. Basically if I can't make significant progress on a level 12 units at a time, then I look for a way to cheese the level.

This is why I just play Grand Strategy instead. Much easier, to be honest, even if it's more complex.
>>

>>345126864

My biggest tip as someone who mainly plays grand strategy is try not to let yourself be overwhelmed. The secret is you only need to understand a small portion of the game to have fun. I have hundreds of hours in CK2 and there are systems that I haven't even bothered touching. Just do the tutorial, try and play a bit, don't worry about all the stuff you don't know. If you want to learn about something specific, wiki it.

This advice applies to Dwarf Fortress as well.

And became something entirely different.

As for your other attempts to grasp for straws, that's like saying Occulus launch games are spiritual succesors to DOOM because Carmack is on the team.

No, but if Carmack makes an FPS for Occulus it WILL be a spiritual sucsessor to DOOM

Vagrant Story. I've purchased the game on 4 different occasions since its release.

The game seems cool as fuck, but I always lose interest about 8-10 hours in.
>>
Fightan games. I love tekken and Guilty Gear and I'm pretty good at inputs but once I get into the more advanced stuff it just completely overwhelms me. I'm doomed to play at novice levels my entire life.

truck sims and racing games

maybe if I had a wheel they would be fun

Fighting games. I'm amazed so many people have lightning reflexes. I can't defend against shit.

horror genre

all my friends have so much fun with horror games but i'm just pissed off at their bad controls the whole time and don't wind up getting scared

I wouldn't call it a successor to CT. CT was MUCH easier to play than VS.

VS has really complex, grindy combat. The story and setting are 90s grimdark as fuck, too.

I can't speak for the older ones, but the 2012 remakes (Enemy Unknown and Within) are fun. XCOM2 is pretty great as well, modding community is making it a lot of fun.

Only thing to be aware of is that the game does NOT fuck around in higher difficulties. You make mistakes, you take gambles and the AI will fuck you for them.

Anything competitive.

I'm shit.

Post-BC2 Battlefield games. I don't know what made BC2 so great and dice have been unable to reproduce it. Not that modern dice is even capable of making a good game.

>can't memorize combos

That's why you play smash melee

There's some tech skill involved, but every action corresponds to a button press, and every button press to an action, combos exist but they arise organically by chasing down your opponent after you hit them, no memorizing strings of unintuitive inputs

The game is great because of the freedom of movement compared to being stuck on rails like a normal fighter

Fucking tabletop games. I've never played a proper tabletop game despite trying to set up multiple. Whenever somebody talks about awesome campaigns they did I'm just like "haha yeah totally ;-;"

>>345118517
JRPGs. I enjoy lenghty, storydriven Games, but I just don't enjoy juggling numbers and values. Every new Option, a RPG offers me over its course ( for example: to modify my gear and other ) makes me more nervous. I just can't handle abstract values, but I really don't know why. Solving numerical puzzles for example is fine and ok for me.

Never played melee, but I do play done Smash 4 with Pac-Man, which is a wholly different beast. I do like smash but I also like how satisfying traditional fighters are.

I should look into melee, but I'll need to find my play style AKA main, and Pac Man is pretty different from even the Smash 4 cast.

weeb shit

i don't like lolis, high pitched voices, or effeminate males but some of the gameplay looks gud

Armored Core.
The idea of pimping out my own mech sounds great.
But every time I try to play it I just get my ass spanked.

Boardgames are great. I prefer playing vidya alone, but I love playing board games with friends.

I could never get into Wipeout. It looks great, but it just doesn't click for me.

Smash 4 is ver very different from melee

I prefer melee but smash 4 is more convenient to play, since you need an old tv to play melee with no lag (smash 4 is playable with slight lag whereas melee is too fast, the timing has to be tight)

WRPGs because if I'm given a blank slate main character I tend to just leave them a blank slate and it becomes difficult to have any investment in the story, or any idea what drives them.
Even if I try and come up with a backstory it doesn't feel "real" somehow. Also I hate fantasy.

Now you've piqued my curiosity. Mind expanding on what you find off-putting about such an expansive genre?

Pretty much these. I'll thrown in MOBAs too. Don't see the appeal of dota, LoL, smite, ect.

Try it again anon. It is a good game, turn on hints if you have too

Fighting games and RTS, I'm okay with "watching high level play" though, I understand most of the shit that's going on, I just suck at applying it myself.

I don't know anything about MOBAs either, but fuck that shit.
>>
>>345119594
Came here to post this. I keep trying to give them a shot, but it feels like it's always the same exact game over and over.

It's still just a chore of a game.

Resident evil

Bought 4 in an humble bundle, runs like shit on my PC despite being a fucking 10 year old PS2/GC game. I don't even get the option to play without all the new HD shit.
And revelations on the 3DS was fucking awful.
The older games just look fucking boring and awkward. People usually say that it's supposed to be spooky and shit but I don't fucking see it.

Fighting games

I will play anything else I just can't get into fighting games. It does not matter if I win or if I lose I just can't bring myself to keep playing. I always feel like i'm just mindlessly spamming most of the time and the few times i'm actually executing combos I have no idea how I put my opponent in the position to do it again. The ones that I've played just feels too random to me.
