recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

Don’t crucify me but I’ve tried HZD and did not like it. I also tried God of War (2018) and I didn’t get very far. Maybe I was not in the right headspace but both of them felt the same to me like a game forcefully trying to make me feel something but I could not connect to either.

Might be my bubble, but I don't think disliking HZD is a particularly unpopular opinion. Personally, I really enjoyed it, but I can definitely understand why someone wouldn't. Aloy can be both boring and annoying and the story didn't really live up to its potentia. I can see why it would be difficult to get into it.

For me, the gameplay more than makes up for those shortcomings. Fighting robot dinosaurs with bow and arrow is right up my alley. Also the latest DLC for the sequel made Aloy actually interesting for the first time, so I have some hopes for story in the third game.

Of all the Sony exclusives to come on PC, Days Gone has actually been my favourite.

For me same with both! I found them greatly over hyped, but that is fine - plenty of other great games to play.

Yes, plenty of other games around. Although I do tend to just replay my older favourite games. Hogwarts Legacy is the only new game I’ve played this year and I enjoyed that greatly. Now looking forward to BG3.

First time I tried HZD I didn't like it either. Found the 1st hour or so extremely boring.

The 2nd time however I really liked it.

I just can't get over how poor the bows feel.
