recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

Diablo and Diablo-style games like Torchlight. Every time a new one comes out a few of my friends get excited and I've been convinced to try it again, but I think I've learned my lesson finally and I have skipped Diablo IV.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Something about the isometric/top-down ARPG genre has never clicked with me, and I really can't figure out why. I've tried torchlight, every diablo (except 4), path of exile - I end up bouncing off of them after a week or so and just lose interest.

It makes even less sense when you consider I can sink 300+ hours into Souls/Elden Ring or Xenoblade... Something about the format just doesn't work for me, I guess.

Diablo and Diablo 2 robbed years of my life. I just can't get the same enjoyment out of any other game of the genre. I legit tried to give D3 a try... it was nothing the same... not even close.

I don't why Diablo and D2 were so damn good (IMO) and why the others just aren't.

RTS games have similar problems for me too... I played C&C and Starcraft a lot... there've been no other RTS games that I can even tolerate. Even going back and playing the C&C remaster... It's just better even though it's laden with old game QOL issues.
