Minecraft. It desperately needs some QoL improvements for it to be anything but tedious.

MODERATORS
That's what mods are for, most of the game's popularity is built around the community and not the vanilla game itself
Checkers. You start with only one piece type and they go to the trouble to make all those squares and you only use half of 'em.
Ocarina of Time. It's one of the few Zelda games that I just didn't enjoy. I've had a lot more fun playing Twilight Princess and Wind Waker more than Ocarina. I'd play Adventure of Link more than Ocarina.
Skyrim. Mostly all the RPGs like that. Never understood the hype. I did try to like it, but it wasn't fun for me at all.
Team Fortress 2. Too different in contrast with TFC, which I feel like I played for ten years straight.
Deep Rock Galactic.
Yeah I said it.
I wanted to like it, but the gun play was underwhelming and gameplay kind of boring.
Worst of all was the progression. Upgrades were tiered in ways that made 1 a clear best choice. Perks were uninteresting passives or actives with bizarre activation requirements. No way to upgrade flares or pickaxes. And I’m not a guy that cares about cosmetics, so it just didn’t work for me.
I’m happy for everyone else that got a GOAT experience though.
For rock.... And... Stone... ⛏️🥹
Elden Ring for me. The kids have all played the shit out of it and killed literally everything in the game. I hopped on for about two hours, wandered around aimlessly, died a few times, avoided everything to prevent dying, died a few more times and decided I never needed to do that again.
Same exact experience. Then someone from Reddit messaged me some non spoiler wary game tips and I went back in and played 130 hours. It was my first souls game since PS3 Demon’s Souls. I ended up loving it. But I fucking hated it at first, and I don’t blame anyone for being turned off.
Sonic games, I'm referring specifically to the first one and that era.
My friend and I rented a Genesis I believe it was, specifically to play this, we thought the graphics were awesome, the speed was amazing, the t3ch show off was cool, the game had novelty.
But really from a gameplay perspective, I simply do not understand what people like about it.
The whole thing was just run as fast as you can down this path, you have no idea what's coming up. There will be multiple opportunities to take different paths but you don't really have time to make a judgment call, so you flail at the controller and end up hitting a hazard. You start the level over and over and over again and you repeat it until you understand which way to go and then you complete the level.
Now you've run into every single gotcha and you figured out some optimal routes, now you can play it all without dying a lot.
Why would anybody want this?
That is part of why people like sonic games i think. Replaying a level over and over again to get the fastest possible route to complete the level (usually the top path, which is also the hardest as it's easy to fall down to the bottom). It should also be noted that the games don't like the players holding right all the time and will punish the players if they didn't react in time.
This is not simple platforming, the classic games are a little.... different? Idk the word for it, but compare sonic and tbe other platformers like mario, it is extremely different, which is why not a lot of people "get" sonic. I've had some people looking over my shoulders when i play a sonic game and was told "i don't get sonic" which, all things considered, is understandable.
