Ask Lemmy

I never got hooked on Breaking Bad. I liked it looking back but at the time I had to make myself watch it where as with actually good series I need to stop myself from binging multiple episodes a day.

Assassin's creed. I was okayish game, till I downloaded Hades, and I completely forgot it even existed on my pc.

Misommar was meh. Yes, it had a new and unusual aesthetic for a horror movie, but that's about it. Cults prey on the weak and traumatized, we get it. I don't remember there being much of a plot, just weirdness and violence for sake of weirdness and violence.

But then the bigger issue is all the ignorant people who start associating flower crowns and Nordic (and even Slavic) traditions with "just like Midsommar!!". Same happened with Kazakhstan (" very naice!") and Eastern Europe (after "Hostel")

I hate Dark Souls 3. It was just so boring to me.

I enjoyed the exploration: you can't just run through the game since death is around every corner, which made it exiting and rarely that frustrating.

But most Bosses where just so boring. You learn them once, and your reward is that you can actually play the good part of the game again. If I look at something like Monster Hunter, learning the Monster gives you a faster clear time, which makes farming easier and is satisfying that way. Learning a boss in DS reminded me when I was about to quit geometry dash - I just feel my time has been wasted.

There are a lot of cool builds! And you will probably only play one each playthrough, because leveling unlocks a playstyle, but levels get VERY expensive (and I don't think you can undo levels), so at some point you stop experimenting and just go with what you where already playing the last 20h.

These points made it hard for me to focus on the amazing parts of the game. The atmosphere, the combat and, as mentioned, exploration.

"If you hate it so much, why bother playing through it?": after beating abyss watchers, I said to my DS Friend that I don't like this game. He said "Get Good" so I did. It's still just not a fun game (for me)

Could never get into Seinfeld or Fraiser.

Nier Automata. The writing is so incredibly self-defeating.

Entire game, all endings

The opening lines of the game, paraphrased, are “Gee, I’m really tired of being brought back to life to fight an infinite war against machines. I wanna kill the guy who invented this cycle.”

Then, the core of the story centers on the tragedy of death, especially of the two immortal main characters dying a few times (once right in the intro). To punctuate how little the writer is reading his own script, the ending is about resurgently bringing the protagonists back to life AGAIN (in an empty world where everything they cared about, aside from each other, is destroyed).

There is, obviously, more to it than that, but character writing is what drives a story for me, and N:A seemed to be just about thrashing 2B/9S around through external events.

An Officer And A Gentleman. Two-hour infomercial for trad.

It's A Wonderful Life. I'm just over it.

After years of hearing about How I Met Your Mother and seeing memes and clips everywhere I finally decided to give it a go. I'm not sure I even lasted more than one episode. It's been a while but I remember it not as something that didn't click with me, but a comedy I immediately disliked

i could not stand the sgu 1st season it was so boring, doomed the whole franchise. only a few episodes in the second half the season were interesting.

Breaking Bad. Well, the episodes I watched.

Game of Thrones. There needs to be something positive, even just a sliver.

The Witcher games. Everyone tells me how great they are and I have tried playing them, but it just feels like a chore and it never hooks me.

Lord of the rings. I watched the whole trilogy of movies, and I tried to read the Hobbit. They're all so boring, I don't get the appeal.

Dr. Who

All of them. I have tried.

I could not get into Andor despite really wanting to.

I did not like Baldur's Gate 3. I have tried multiple times now and I just don't like it.

I tried very hard, but I did not enjoy The Outer Wilds.

For those who don't know, it is a first person exploration game over ~12 planets within a small solar system. There is a core game loop that lasts about 20 minutes wherein you can fly your ship anywhere and explore until the cycle ends.

The thing I really disliked was that you only got ~10-15 minutes of exploration before you had to restart the cycle back at home and go back to where you started. There was also a plethora of environmental hazards that were instant death, all while you had oxygen and fuel to manage. Dying would also reset the cycle so it wasn't uncommon to spend 5+ minutes getting somewhere only to die and restart a few times. It just made me frustrated.

I did complete it with the help of mods that let me teleport to the key locations. People really liked the story but it really didn't hit for me. I feel like I was born with the cilantro gene for this game because I really didn't like it.

About Berserk, the comic is 10x more miserable, the show literally adapted the happiest part of the story

Game of Thrones

Tried multiple times, couldn't get into it.
