Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun? (kbin.cafe)

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

Trying to get into those as a newbie is miserable dor all those reasons and also because, unless maybe if you get in right when the game first comes out, your competitors will be far more comfortable with the mechanics and have memorized the maps and so on. It's especially bad if you're a newbie to multiplayer shooters a whole, even if you're good at single player shooters. It becomes and exercise in: spawn, die, respawn, die... Super frustrating to begin with. And then people insult you. Noooot something I find worth bothering with for a thing that's supposed to be enjoyable in my free time.

It's like that with every competitive game.

You see other people playing it and think "wow, that's cool. I wanna try it", only to be welcomed by what you just described. Your success then depends on whether you have a hard skin to endure the bullshit, or if you're social enough to have others play with you that won't dismiss everything you do so easily. More often than not we don't have the patience/ability for either.
