Grand Theft Auto 4 - wasn’t fun to play, though I keep trying since I want to see where the story goes but get too jaded to make it far.

Fallout New Vegas - not sure why 3 and 4 vibes with me better, but every time I start new Vegas I just feel like I hit a wall before I make it to the strip.

Newer Pokemon games - this one is easy. I like to explore and find Pokemon. Current games are about and focused on battling. So no more puzzles and hidden corners. Pokemon Platinum and Soul Silver was the last game I had no complaints about. Legends Arcus is the last one I played and mostly enjoyed.

Majora’s Mask and Ocarina of Time - again Zelda is an exploration game to me and these 2 are combat focused. The 3DS version of Ocarina of Time was a bit more palatable to me, but I haven’t touched it in years.

Wow… pretty wild take considering most of those are widely considered some of the best games of all time. I will say, I have had some games and movies that were considered great, get ruined for me because I heard the hype before playing or watching, and went in to it with very high expectations.

I agree with most of these … but New Vegas? I kinda think that’s the best of all of them. Well except 1 & 2. They are almost a different game in the same universe so they don’t count.

I wonder if we’ll get a 5 in my lifetime.

I found New Vegas incredibly boring, while I had an absolute blast playing FO3. I tried getting into New Vegas many times, but it never stuck with me.

There was those Let’s Go Evvee/Pikachu games that were 100% not what I want in a Pokémon game, it’s the same thing with the mobile game, I’m not here to catch 100+ of the same Pokémon, I want to build a team and explore the world. Kind if bummed they stopped making the games with that in mind.

Grand Theft Auto 4 - wasn’t fun to play, though I keep trying since I want to see where the story goes but get too jaded to make it far.

Around the time GTA 5 first released for console I was playing the (terrible) PC Port of 4 and I got pretty far but ended up stuck at a specific story mission where you need to fly a helicopter and no matter what I just couldn’t get the helicopter to fly fast enough to the point where I was either missing something or it was bugged out. Honestly both are solid possibilities. I’ve never felt the need to return to it and finish that story.

I did like the relationship building aspect and how folks would randomly call you to hang out. Honestly I feel like that was something 5 should’ve kept, it definitely made the characters feel a bit more alive and slightly less 2 dimensional

Funny, I liked fallout 3. LOVED new Vegas to the point of replaying. Fo4 however I thought was hot trash. Just felt very low effort compared to the variety of pathways and story in New Vegas.
