Hollow Knight.
I'm a bit of a fan of Metroidvania games. So after hearing all the reviews and it's rather vocal fan base I bought it.
Played it for 5 hours and couldn't be bothered to return to it. The world, the characters, the enemies and the gameplay, really bored me.
I tried to like it, but it just didn't click with me. Which is a shame, since everyone's hyped about the sequal.
Maybe I'm falling out of love with the metroidvania games, because I can't even be bothered to complete Metroid Dread due to how boring I find it!
Once again I seem to find myself in the minority in that opinion.

The Dark Soul games. I wanted to like them, the lore sounded interesting. But all the fights being about knowing how to battle that enemy, knowing the timings, knowing what the visual cues mean and when you should attack - which as far as I could tell you could only know by trial and error or checking online guides. Who has time for that?
On a similar vein - I love Rocket League, and spend way too much of my gaming time on it. But while I'd like to be better than I am, the idea of spending hours training myself on specific mechanics leaves me cold. I'm playing it for fun, I don;t want to turn it into a job or a chore!

Dark souls games. Tried Elden Ring, of the 5 million characters I chose some ranger, didn't have a clue what I was doing, looked on you tube for a beginners guide and didn't understand about 15 things he said in the first 1 minute. Maybe I missed the boat. Tried dark souls remastered, got bored pretty quick.
LoL. I've played in some toxic communities but I wouldn't go near that one.
Overwatch. What is going on?
Doom games. The originals are some of the best games ever but these modern ones, I don't get the satisfaction people get. I don't get a rush from it at all and it's generally an annoying experience.
GTA Online. Maybe good it you get into a community but I never understood why so many people watch all this RP.
Stardew Valley. I went into a couple of caves, I think that's it for dungeons? So we're just building a farm now?

I've only played the first one of the new Doom games but I definitely couldn't get into it. Admittedly back in the day I was more a Wolfenstein guy than a Doom guy.
Elden Ring I just know I'll hate even without trying it.
Cyberpunk I admittedly only played for about 2 hours but the gameplay didn't feel 'next gen' I didn't see anything in it that made me think the gameplay was as good as Deus Ex or the first person Fallout games.
BR games. So I like Call of Duty and Battlefield but hated their BR modes. For me the weapons all feel both too weak and overpowered at the same time. Same was true when I tried Fortnite.
Grand Theft Auto V. It's a great achievement from a technical perspective but I hate being 3 different characters none of which I really like and for me they've made the game more like a job, this was starting to be the case with IV. NO I DON'T WANT TO GO BOWLING WITH YOU! NO I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THR PUB! NO I DON'T WANT TO TAKE YOUR BROTHER'S SISTER'S COUSIN'S FORMER ROOMMATE BALLROOM DANCING! STOP MESSAGING ME! I want to get in crazy car chases like I could in Vice City not managing relationships with a bunch of a***holes!

Have you tried the single player mod?
To be honest, I was really hoping someone would jump on this and explain to me why I'm wrong and how I can play and enjoy these games so I could give them another go.

I don't get new GTAs either, never have. 1 to 3 were new experiences but after that it felt a bit dull to me once they exhausted what missions you can do in a real life environment. Flying a helicopter, riding a bmx, etc isn't a new experience seeing as i can do that in other more dedicated games. To me it had its day a long time back.
Fortnite i don't get either. The idea was new and lots of varied playstyles it seems, but it just looks visually pants. I'd understand a few playing it, but not its current popularity.
Oblivion. What's the point of levelling up when everyone levels up around you? Not like you can train up to beat a new boss or get into some dungeon. NPCs having more health than a wolf for example, sigh. Never got how this was popular. The mechanics were clunky too.

I'm not big into the genre either but I completed Sekiro and it was fun and rewarding, though I think I preferred it as the combat is a bit more fast paced and relies more on blocking than rolling around.
You do get a good sense of achievement from taking down tough bosses or enemies, but you will probably die a bunch of times doing it. There is some scope to explore different parts of the world and get some upgrades though, come back and fight another day when you've unlocked more upgrades
I think it's just the way these games are, you will die and learn, and eventually succeed. I think the other Souls games would be too slow for me.
Ghost of Tsushima combat felt kind of similar to Sekiro, but is a bit more forgiving, if you get a chance to play that it's a good game, PS only for now but PC release suspected in the near future.

To me they are just roll and slash simulators, very dull.I'm not big into the genre either but I completed Sekiro and it was fun and rewarding, though I think I preferred it as the combat is a bit more fast paced and relies more on blocking than rolling around.

I haven't, i'll look into it!
Part of my dislike is most of the time being killed by a scav from miles away, so have no chance to even see where you died from to learn how to improve. Seems to have been made with a ridiculous learning curve on purpose, and the stakes are so high that the 10-15mins of actual game play was never worth the pay off of hours of sifting through your inventory, trying to work out how the hell the weapon system works etc. etc.
Will give single player mod a research though thanks

Same, if I die twice to a same boss/monster I usually alt+f4, cba with such games. Slow games in general (only exception are sims/strategy games). Hack and slash games like Devil May Cry of God of War I play on easiest difficulty, I care about the story and atmosphere and eye candy and sometimes exploring, don't care to much about the gameplay, just cba. Especially if you have to learn special combo's or controls or take special care to respond to a monster (patience test), **** that.
The only genre where I tolerate that is fighting games (Street Fighter mainly) which I've grown to like, mainly for the social pvp aspect though!

Pretty much anything that is not open world.
Zombie shooters... all of them.
However I was very anti-Boarderlands for a long time but once I got into it, loved them. Both SP and Co-op.
My biggest pet peeve is non-scalable UI. I have very bad sight and I will refund instantly if I can't scale the UI.

Same with borderlands, that and makes me dizzy playing it.
I really enjoyed Pubg, aside from raiding I was surprised how much tension and heart rate inducing a computer game could be. It's very bitter sweet though as it was completely ruined by cheaters at the end of the day.
I don't get anything why some idiot would spend money on virtual items that are worthless at least to me. Got lucky a few times on Pubg and sold skins that paid for my steam games for a entire year ! Kids are stupid.
