For me, its Pikmin. I feel that these games get hyped like a huge deal and I am bored to tears whenever I see trailers for it.

Yakuza

I tried a couple of them and Ive played about a dozen hours of Like a Dragon, I like the MC but the gameplay itself is just mindlessly boring so far

I really dont get the appeal of the series

I mentioned Tomb Raider earlier today, but I would also add any MMORPG. I just have no desire to do anything outside of try a quest or two than never touch it again.

Deponia as well, played the first one, got bored after 10 minutes, never touched it again after that. By all measures, should be a series I love, but nope!

I don't really understand this cause yes there is plenty of stuff I haven't played, but it just doesn't cross my radar as a priority. Thinking in terms of having to "bring yourself to care about" is a weirdly negative framing that makes it sound like someone is externally pressuring you to play games or something

Literally any big Sony expensive franchise like Horizon, TLoU, Uncharted, etc. It's why I never got a ps4.
There's a few exclusives trapped on there I'd like to play such as Gravity Rush 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Shin Sakura Taisen, Bloodborne, Fist of the North Star, etc but nothing worth buying a system for especially if I'm not sure I'd really like the game.

I enjoyed assassination games, and also liked the history part of things. It gave an interesting world and told me to explore.

Star Fox.

All aside some of these replies amaze me: Metal Gear, Yakuza, Assassins Creed are game franchises that pretty much almost anyone would snag real quick. I was never really into aircraft games outside of a select few and hard to even admire. I always enjoyed action, stealth and sports, maybe toss in a few platformers NOT big on RPGS.

Xenoblade. I bought the first one when it came out on the Wii and it didn't jive with me at all. Tried the remaster on switch later and I still don't like it. I don't think I'm cut out for newer RPGs

  • Halo
  • Gears of War
  • Pokemon (i'm grown)
  • Fornite
  • Fallout
  • Call of Duty/Modern Warfare/Any 'War/Army FPS'
  • Many current Nintendo IPs
I'm pretty sure there are a few more as I got older.

Minecraft (just couldn't)
Fortnite (what the fuck is this combat)
Monster Hunter (clunky, heavy, messy combat with way too many RPG elements than necessary)
Kingdom Hearts (Disney characters plus anime isn't a mix that tickles my interests at all)
Final Fantasy (feel like it's far too late in the franchise for me to feel involved with characters I have no attachment to)

Souls like and rogue like. I find them really gimmicky and unnecessarily frustrating.

Also God of War. I'm sorry but the story is terrible. Literally just 'we gotta take these ashes up a mountain but oh noes there's an invisible wall in the way'

Honestly, anything Nintendo.

I guess it might just be because I missed the boat of not owning a Nintendo console when I was a kid, so now I have close to zero nostalgia for Nintendo properties. But I just do not give a shit about Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Pokemon, Mario, etc.

Of those I've played, the Metro series. The mask/filter metric added nothing to the game for me, only frustration.

FIFA.

I haven't played any in a long time, but by the time I stopped in the mid 2010s, the game play was comically bad and stupid. It felt way too arcade like with not much actual realism involved.

Thing is, I don't remember FIFA ever really being great, though I havent played them all. Every one I have played has issues, even if just to me(like in FIFA 2002, the simulated game scores don't match up with reality, meaning it is impossible to get even semi-realistic league standings and such)

Perhaps, but I played enough of all three to know, that despite on paper they sound like franchises for me, I really did not have fun with them.

COD, every year my friends insist it's the greatest one yet, I tell them they're going to play it for maybe a week or two and drop it, they always tell me I'm wrong but look and behold they stop playing it.

Anything by Ubisoft or EA.

Also I hate Sony, their games all feel homogeneous, walk through hallway with slightly tolerable child character/sidekick into a fight arena or puzzle, rinse, repeat untill the ending cinematic.
