        Final fantasy, FIFA, GTA, CoD, Modern warfare and Persona are the ones that spring to mind for me.

          I liked GTA 2. 3D ruined everything.

            Mass Effect and KotOR

            Both have absolutely terrible gameplay. Fans tell me the story makes it worth it but if I want a good story I can read a book.

              Most games I just didn't like and felt it wasn't fair to call them out, but gambling addiction pushing games like FIFA are high on the list, especially since the annual releases seem to be somewhat identical.

                  I’m going to get absolutely roasted for this, but Elden Ring. I put about 10 hours in trying to like it, but it just made me angry and miserable. And it was kinda boring.

                    I also don’t care for Souls games, but I think ‘angry and miserable’ is the intended experience.

                      Expedition is the most prominent: I really fail to see anything good in that game. I stopped playing after the 3-4th enemy on the island, so I might miss the plot, but the game did everything to halt me from being interested in that plot if there is one.

                        I was going to suggest CoD as well ... the whole series is mostly a carbon copy of the previous version.
                        Let alone the gameplay is "run for 30 seconds, die, respawn and repeat.

                              I'm a fan of the Soulsborne games but gave up on Elden Ring because I wasn't a fan of the empty open world gameplay.

                                COD games are fun but not interesting, and they're pretty interchangeable.

                                    Not Persona, no! It's basically Pokémon + dating sim, what's not to love (besides the usually slow af start)? 😭

                                      Mass Effect 1's gameplay is clanky, but 2 is much better.

                                      ME3 is fantastic. Andromeda's campaign is somehow even better feeling, and IMO Me3Coop is absolute peak FPS.


                                      ...KOTOR is indeed bad to play, heh. SWTOR is even worse.

                                          All of the Monster Hunter games. The gameplay is awful and the story drags on. I thought it was just that I picked the first one, but after trying the others it feels like a $5 game series.
