The last of us, one I expect a lot of people to say. The story is good but the gameplay was boring as fuck. And I love stealth games. The gunplay is especially ass.

Nier automata, I loved the first Nier but something about the gameplay just didn't click with me. The combat was great and the boss fights awesome but just about everything else in the game never clicked with me. Too many fetch quests and too much grinding for materials.

You're such a boring characterless entity. Try getting laid once in a while and maybe you'll have friends and find out what a "joke" is. - derrate

Uncharted 1-3

I enjoyed The Last of Us for one playthrough, but I didn't think it was nearly as great as everyone said, but it was better than the Uncharted games I thought.

Dark Souls. I just didn't get into it.

This one too imo. An entire game of boss fights and grinding never appealed to me.

The problems with last of us' gameplay are the same problems uncharted suffers from imo. Naughty dog makes very visually pleasing games with superb stories, but then has the most ho hum gameplay possible. The gunplay in both uncharted and last of us is some of the worst in gaming imo. Last of us at least doesn't rely on the gunplay like uncharted does.

I think that's the only reason I enjoyed it for a single playthrough. I wouldn't say it had good gameplay, but Uncharted was just so much ass cramed in my face I couldn't stand it where as TLOU was like more spaced out?

I thought the story in TLOU was a lot better than the generic shit in Uncharted too, but that only lasts for a single playthrough.

It was decent, I guess I'm saying, where as I thought Uncharted games were always over produced garbage.

Ironically, and oddly, the last of us multiplayer is actually fun, even despite the ass gunplay.

The Assassin's Creed series.

I tried the first two games and just couldn't get into them. Ironically enough, I loved playing as Ezio so much during his guest appearance in Soul Calibur 5 that he practically became my main character in that game. So out of respect, I went back to give his Assassin's Creed games another chance... still didn't like them.

World of Warcraft and Elder Scrolls Online, although that's probably more my fault.

Mega Man 2 seems to be the most loved of the classic Mega Man games, and I don't see why. I made it a few Wily stages in, then lost the motivation to go on.

For one, the leap in quality from MM1 to MM2 was the biggest among the first 6 games. It also had some of the most memorable bosses, since they were all reused in MM3 and some other games.

I could be way off the mark, but I remember the jump in quality from 2-3 being similar.

I liked TLoU and agree the gunplay was kinda crap. Slightly better than Uncharted but not by a lot.

The shooting mechanics in Uncharted 1-3 are not good. The aim movement is janky, the hit detection on enemies was always weird to me. It just wasn't fun at all. It honestly reminded me of PS1 or PS2 era shooting games.

I never had a problem with it in TLOU, but I also only played it back when it first came out where as I played the Uncharted games last year so maybe I just don't remember it as clearly.

I've actually seen somebody say it's a lot more enjoyable to just put Uncharted down to the easiest difficulty and experience the game. Since I haven't played the whole series yet (but own the collection) I might so that.

the second half of the game just loses momentum, and it's not fun to re-play because of that.

and places like: Lost Izalith, New London, and Valley of the Drakes feel weak and/or incomplete

and lastly, I don't like how some of the bosses are re-used

Grand theft auto

I played the living shit out of 3, vice city and san andreas.

But after 4 and 5, I seriously couldnt invest 10 hours into either one.
I dont know why. They seemed polished enough. But they didnt hook me in like the ps2 games.

It's stiff. Something always felt off and after analyzing it, I figured out it's because it's so stiff. It feels like someone modded gunplay into a game that didn't originally have guns

That's actually not a bad idea. The gameplay is the last reason to remotely enjoy those games.
