gaming What video game(s) can you not just get into, no matter how hard you try?

[Here No Longer 5,286]

I can't get into the Legend of Zelda series as a whole, and I really don't know why. I think OoT is a great game (sure overrated as f*** but still great), and I also liked Link's Awakening. But as a whole I can't get into them for some reason...

kingdome hearts... something about the main really get me annoyed.

Metroid is another one I remembered. It's weird, because even though it's always looked cool to me, and even though I've always liked Metroidvania-style Castlevania games, it just doesn't grab me. What's also really funny to me is how I was always able to get into the original NES game of Kid Icarus as a kid, enough to beat the whole game, but I just couldn't get into the original NES game of Metroid.

Fire Emblem Fates. I’m not too deep into FE, but I like the games enough. However, Fates has been a turn-off with me. Lots of talks about crappy writing and story was a first bad sign, but having a cast of one-note anime cliches, and questionable design in many of them, not helped that Fire Emblem Heroes is basically a Fates spin-off by now made me not want to ever try Fates

I can not get into the Dark Souls  series. I get they're angle is difficult game with hidden lore, but the controls and camera are infuriating.

So for me,  it was KH1, I tried to play it a few times and never got into it.   Yet  I did love KH2 in a weird way...

Any sports games really. Too much button smashing and weird combos for my liking. My buddies are super into NHL series, but I don't have the slightest interest towards it...

I can't get into traditional turn-based RPGs anymore.

[Twilight Luna 31,492]

The Witcher series. I tried the third one and the controls didn’t work for me like they did with Skyrim. 

I am liking the KIngdom Hearts series but the camera control on the first one is killing it for me. Hopefully it’s inproved in the second and third game.

Most of the games, there some Superhero games I want to try but can't get to it.

[The Historian 516]

World of Warcraft. I tried it more than once but couldn't get into it. Felt too much like work and not enough fun or engagement. It's not bad, but I can't get into it.

Metroid and Earthbound. Its genre is not my style of play.

Same, especially on Metroid. It just isn't for me.

I probably could have gotten into Earthbound, but its lack of any visualization and just using text for battles is really weird and would take a lot of getting used to for me.

Overwatch. I bought it on sale expecting to love it, but I was never able to really enjoy it. It just doesn't feel fun to me, which sucks.

Elder Scrolls Online is another. I love Skyrim (I've got 300+ hours in it), and ESO just feels like a huge disappointment.

[Steve Piranha 29,496]

Oh, I can’t get BACK to Pokémon 

[TheRockAReader 53,925]

Call Of Duty, I’ve got some of the games and I think I’ve only played them once.

 

Not really for me.
