me and u rain world haters for life <3
Majora, Super, Pikmin and Odyssey 😢. Funnily enough, I'd put Xenoblade X on this list for me. I hate disliking the Xenoblade game's besides the 1st one but they're just not for me I guess
@NOWITSREYNTIME17 xenoblade x speaks to a lot of my very weird preferences (despite me not liking open world games??) so as much as i like it i really cant fault anyone for not getting along with it lol. feel you on the others though, love xc1 but 2 is certainly a videogame and 3 just didn't really hook me despite putting quite a bit of time in

@theia i tried playing it on switch at first so i could play it more comfortably in handheld but it didn't run very well and (unsurprisingly) didn't play very well, and my executive dysfunction is pretty bad specifically for playing pc games which doesnt help either. i might try to get myself into a rhythm once my semester starts and see if it can get its hooks around me. i didnt know that odyssey was a contentious title tbh, and see i like the sound of a fuck-around vibes sort of platformer so maybe there's something else out there that'll scratch the itch, not too knowledgeable on this stuff

the amount I want to like metroid is only matched by how much I didn't vibe with super metroid or fusion. hoping prime will be where it all clicks for me when I get around to it
@faea yeah i have the same executive dysfunction with games on pc when im just sitting at a desk, especially crpgs or anything else dialogue heavy. and mario odyssey's contentious in that botw way i think, maybe a lil less extreme, but i know moons as a reward can be too granular/unfulfilling for a lot of people. a kind of fuck-around-ish platformer i might recommend based off what you've played/haven't played and what you seem to like is maybe pseudoregalia? tho that one might be more contentious than any mario game tbh, but it's def the most interesting game of that ilk that i can think of without resorting to older games like spyro 1 and mario 64. pseudoregalia kinda unfortunately has that rain world thing going on with it where if it doesn't end up clicking, it seems to fall really, really flat for people
@curse if you didnt like super then you might not like prime considering it's pretty similar to super only in 3d (which is probably why it's my 2nd favorite after super)
@NOWITSREYNTIME17
I wasn't entirely repulsed by it, but it really didn't click on first stab. in particular I didn't enjoy the combat at all, so I'm hoping the swap to first person rectifies that enough that I can appreciate the exploration and level design (which I can admit are very cool in super, tho fusion left me cold even there)

Diablo and its ilk are pretty much walking around and attacking. its just cheap shots of feel good brain juice that you are a walking murder machine and constantly making numbers go up (money/loot/xp). I love story games, but you can be sure that I will skip all dialogue in a ARPG and just start killing beasties.
@snigglegros yeah I played d3 way back and thought it was fun enough for what it was (though i couldnt see myself playing d3 or d4 nowadays), I just felt like d1 and d2 were a liiittle dry when i tried them. but it's hard to tell if i just didn't give em enough time, especially d2 with how much ppl seem to love that one

super metroid and pikmin 1 are def like, games you either fuck with or don't, but they do get better the more you play them. mario odyssey is kinda just a dopamine delivery system, and i really love it personally, but there's a reason it's kinda contentious in the broader gaming community. def don't feel bad for dropping it, it really doesn't change that significantly from the beginning to end, it's kinda more an aesthetic experience that you fuck around in than a must-play god-tier platforming title imho
