ITT: Games you really tried to like

Has this ever happened to you, anons?
I even helped with their kickstarter, yet I played the game for 5 hours with my mate and we never spoke of it again.

It's silly as all hell and makes me ashamed of playing it but you can still squeeze some fun from it

Can you tell me how?

Really wanted to like this since I loved Gunpoint but it just felt like there was content missing and it got boring and repetitive real fucking quick

No, i just had fun playing normally for a while. But i doubt i'll ever finish it.

>tfw started playing it five times but never finished it
I mean, I like it, it's a pretty damn good RPG overall, but late game gets so fucking boring that I stop playing it for a few weeks and when I get back to it I have forgotten what I was doing.

How long did you play it for? Never played it btw.

What went wrong? It has so much content, why is it so fucking boring? Even with a matey

If you ever plan to coop this game, you absolutely need to have someone else who is equally autistic or just enough to care about reading text and roleplay to a certain degree. If you guys are going in thinking that it's another hack-n-slash game, you're going to have a bad time.

None of my friends had the patience to coop the first game with me. Thankfully, I met a new friend before the second game came out and he was into CRPGs too and we had a blast coop-ing through the entire game.

That might be part of it. It was fucking weird since I wanted to read shit, and my friend was simply watching an walktru. Which I found lame. But the game itself wasnt that fun tbqh.

Not naming it just because Sup Forums loves shitting on it.
I played both prequels of it and finished them but for some reason I couldn't find a will to ever finish this. I swear I tried but I just felt bored.

30 hours. Liberated every station and all defector missions completed, I was basically forcing myself to do it at that point.
It's fun for the first few hours but then you realize you'll spend 90% of the game on the same ship layout. There's no story missions so you're just doing procedurally generated stuff. There's only like 5 defector missions that are actually unique, all the others are "clear this ship layout but using only X weapon" gimmick.

/tg/ here, I recently purchased OS2 with my D&D group and it's great. It has the added benefit of me being able to actually play instead of having to DM, and gives us a relatively classic RPG experience where we need to plan our strategy to not die horribly. If you have any friends willing to play tabletop with you, they are likely autistic enough to play Divinity with you.

I tried cooping with randoms, but it doesn't work that well, you need to be in sync with the other guy or else you two gonna get fucked.

the characters are ugly

I would argue that the combat at least provides some semblance of fun. There's no restrictions and you're free to build whatever kind of character you want.

A pity that the story and setting are both bland and boring.

I liked the visuals, but the story and the world itself are indeed pretty lame.

I actually love this game but I feel like there's too much stuff and not enough variety. It's a great game with great writing, atmosphere, everything, there's just too much of it and the gameplay isn't varied enough to hold my interest. I'm not enough of a storyfag for that to hold my interest alone, but for storyfags it's probably perfect.

I played Witcher 1 and 2 fucking loved them. 3 was shit in comparison, and a bad game overall.
Witcher 1 is still to this day of the best games I've ever played. Easily in my TOP 10. 3 was a dead world. Filled with filler monsters and boring MMO quests that tried to look relevant. Also I couldn't give a shit about Yen, I've been in love with Triss for 2 games now, do they except me to change it?

>Basically forcing myself
I know that feel all too well.
Also, pic related. I got too bored of playing it yet, wanted to finish it for being a RE game. So I downloaded a trainer and cheated the rest of the game. Basically so I would know the story.

I'd have to disagree, but to each their own. Is that the only reason?

I really have no idea what you're talking about. Me and my friend went into it expecting to both read everything but it wasn't too long into the game when I just stopped caring about the writing completely and he just skimmed through it to know what's going on.
The mechanics both in and outside of combat are really fun and worth playing on their own. We then completed the game again when the enhanced edition was released, again barely reading the text at all. It was great fun. I never would've played the game more than the OP if I had to read all that asinine bullshit myself.

And no, it's not that I don't like reading. It's that this game's dialogue belongs in a trash can.

the backgrounds are also ugly

Pretty much the same. The game was really fun for a short while, but then I realized that playing anything but mage felt incredibly shallow, and the game kinda stops giving you new spells/interesting challenges really early on. Also the first area drags on for fucking ever, and I could never find myself interested in the story remotely.

>RE4
Same. I finished 1, 2, 3 and 5, but I always stop playing 4 for some reason. I can't really point any glaring flaw on it, I actually think it's better game than 5, I just can't bring myself to finish it.

What's worse with Heat Signature is that every now and then there are some interactions with characters and those were very well written and it just made me feel like playing Gunpoint again. Or wishing that they had put more time into Heat Signature.

>If you guys are going in thinking that it's another hack-n-slash game, you're going to have a bad time.

Nigger me and my CRPG friends fucking love DOS2. DOS1 is just shit, it's garbage in every way besides the combat.

>Trade empire
>Space piracy all the fucking time
>Fly all the ships and command a fleet
>High adventure in space
>Play one side against the other, in bed with everybody

It sounded amazing but there's so much shit to do and almost nothing in terms of orientation. Instead I just got dumped in to a very info-dense game hidden behind a UI forged of the finest German autism. I want to love this game, but I just don't know how to get past the interface screw or have an idea on where to start.

I was told many things
they were all lies

Morrowind is just overrated garbage, don't ever listen to morrofags.

I know that now but younger me was an easily influenced retard who believed dumbing down meme

Really excited for this because everyone kept saying it had the best melee combat in vydia ever.
But it didnt really.

I see...(dot)
I basically did a speedrun with cheats. Couldn't just drop it, RE3 was my fav game as a kid. I was a scared little boy and couldn't play it alone because I was too scared. 4, was just a bunch of mexicans with exploding heads...
I actually liked my only playtru of Morrowind. Installed a mod to walk faster and removed inventory weight limit. I quickly picked up to the combat, the rest just fell into place. Never finished it tho, but I never finished Oblivion and Skyrim either so w/e. I just like to walk around exploring shit and doing some minor quests.

Well it does seem promissing. I'm currently playing Stellaris, should I try to check it out or is it really shite?
I plan on playing it because of Sup Forums. What made you dislike it?

Didn't dislike it, was just disappointed. Not much bad things to say about it, I guess, story was pretty shit, some powers felt useless/unnecessary, kinda short. The thing is that I was pretty hyped about the combat but it wasn't anything special, really.
Kicking was fun, though.

Got to A2 gameplay and just gave up, the story doesn't carry the abysmal action rpg shit gameplay whatsoever

It's mind numbingly tedious

Fucking amazing ambience ost and landscape tho. The combat is really average.
I'll give it a try. I don't plan on using magic anyways.

>Has this ever happened to you, anons?
Can't say it has OP. Why would I "really wanna like" anything, a game's either good or bad. And if it's bad and I paid a lot of money for it there's the 2h period I get to return it within and if I played it longer than 2h I'm an idiot and to blame. Always pirate and never kickstart support imho, just to be sure. ...But I did expect more of GTAV.

oops refund* not return, but you must know what I meant. i always make sure to follow the 2h rule nowadays

I dropped the first one 9 hours in but I really dig the second one

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Sometimes you just want to like something because you know its supposed to be really good.
I did this with with pussy for example.
GTA V was a fucking let down.

Yup, SP was a let down but like many I ended up liking online until it got old. As for your spoiler, I agree.
