So I've made a few threads over the past couple years asking about the games that have been favorites, whether recent games or the ones that give you that feel of nostalgia. Its never been about which ones were the least favorite, because of any reason.
For me it's No Man's Sky. I saw the trailers and I have to admit I jump onto the hype train, the factions and space battles looked amazing. Being the gullible cucc I am, I invested $65 into it, also pre-ordering a special edition starter ship. As we all know, NMS' release was infamous, and that ship I'd wasted real life money on got me shot out of deep space just as badly as the regular starter.

This might be an unpopular opinion, I don't know, but whatever; I hate ESO's story. In fact, I'm rarely ever a fan of stories in MMOs that're shoved into your face like I'm supposed to give even half a shit. SWTOR is an exception, but WOD, MOP, and Cata sure as hell weren't. I don't know how to explain it, I don't know how to describe it; but, it's just bad. Bad characters, bad taste in dialogue, and all-around bad writing. Setting and aesthetic are fine, but it's like using their theme park design as a crutch, and that's something I don't like. This is Lyris. This robust thunder-cunt is shoved into your face from the onset, and you have to endure her shitty character for however long in the story because I absolutely can't be fucked to endure it any longer. Her design is pretty sick, she's a half-giant Nord, which is pretty cool. But, the execution is terrible. I hate her stupid voice actor. She makes lots of weird screeches if some boss does some spectacular shit that I don't understand. There's a quest where you have to sit through her past, and I swear to god, I feel like I'm on the ground and crawling with a broken leg as I'm just waiting for this shit to end. "but character development bro--" fuck you if you cant do it right dont do it this way fuckhead moving on ASSHOLE I like the mechanics of the game, honestly. It's fun. I wish they had more classes. Having a class called Dragonknight with three other classes to choose from is kind of weird, but it's okay I guess. The game is good for roleplaying, which is ofc something of interest to everyone around here. ok so this game can be your kurt angle or ur devil so if you dont mind a story thats shoved into your face like i conditionally hate by nature go ahead and give it a try

FARENHEIT/INDIGO PROPHECY FUCK OFF FOREVER
I really hate this game with a passion, unironically. Whether it's the fact that David Cage is a hack shitlord who failed at making movies so he shoves them into his games (fucking New Game on the main menu is "New Movie" like fuck off) or that maybe the plot starts off trying to be Shakespeare's the Tempest and then goes off the fucking rails as you go into DBZ fights and a rogue AI just fucking turns up to kidnap your macguffin child, maybe it's the fact that the characterization is outright fucking awful for both men and women but women in particular, with Cage following his typical creepy-ass shit, such as the female protagonist immediately falling for the main male character who is currently a WALKING TALKING CORPSE SKELELORD, like he's cold to the fucking touch but she of course jumps right into the bone zone not long after having a two minute conversation. During their coitus which of course involves QTE's she exclaims her love for this dead guy she's known for under an hour
Oh there's also a Black Guy who seemed like he was going to affect the plot, with his entire character being a weird pseudo-mish mash of what David Cage thinks black people do (mainly a weird mixup of stereotypes and misunderstandings) and then at one point near the end of the game he just moves to Florida and exits the plot, fuck it
However, despite all that, it's ridiculous as fuck and it can be entertaining to play despite being the worst fucking shit ever. Also, all the music you can play is Theory of a Deadman, I'm so fucking sick to death of Santa Monica holy shit.
But hey it's still better than Beyond Two Souls, and I enjoy it more than the boring clusterfuck that's Heavy Rain

All the Call of Duty games past Modern Warfare 3, even MW3 wasn't all that great but it was alright. Remember all those sick missions in Vietnam during Black Ops, remember when you go into to the rat tunnel with your Python? Yeah, me too but fuck that right, we're going to space and Kevin Spacey, Connor Mcgreggor and Kit Harrington are coming with us! It's like they know COD's gone to shit and have decided to bring in actors just for the, "Oh this must be good if they've got some famous people in it."
FUCKKKKKK O FFFF SPACE SPACEY YOU CUCUUUUUUUNT

Okay so I have played this game - actually only about halfway through, and some will scream at me that I need to play it this way, that way, twice, three times but one time with your left eye closed, etc. I just never understood the appeal to this game. The art was good - music I actually liked, characters were okay to interesting.. But the actually gameplay, was something undesirable. I think every encounter with 'enemies' was copy and paste to a degree. You figure out the 'pattern' and just rinse and repeat. Okay okay, but you may be asking 'How can that make it the worst game?? There are surely worse titles out there??' What made me stop playing this game was the fanbase. The people who played this praised this game like the second coming of Jesus. And that the characters were god-like. Like the Sans/Papyrus duo was interesting, but to me they just were memes and spouted out memes that got old real quick. And this is what ruined it for me. I couldn't tell myself to enjoy the game - or even play it just to get to whatever ending. I remember on Gamefaqs (where they have their game showdown/brawl, like the best of the best games) where tumblr literally recruited droves of people to beat out all of the classic titles like Ocarina of Time. Maybe if the fanbase wasn't so active/aggressive I would've been able to atleast play it through.

As an avid sims gamer, this game can fuck off lmao put under a spoiler because the rant gets real The aesthetic is unappealing in my opinion, it looks awful in it's cartoony glory. They did a one step forward, 20 steps back with this game and that pisses me off to no end. Sims 3 introduced an open neighbourhood and it's fucking IMPOSSIBLE to go back to Loading Screen Simulator over here after that revelation. The Sims 2 was the last game to have loading screens between lots and this game brought it back. For some reason.
Even though it's just a goddamn INCONVENIENCE. It makes the world/neighbourhood you're playing in feel very wooden. In the sims 3 everyone runs around between lots and locations and it feels natural as fuck. It's not like that here. There's also a huge lack of things that have always been in the base game of the Sims; Pools and Toddlers to name a few. It sounds stupid, but when it's been in the three base games for an IP and then the fourth cuts them out for seemingly no reason at all except to sell them as DLC, it gets dumb quick.
The modding scene is worse, which is where I usually dwell; I mean the creators are shitty no matter what version of the Sims you're playing (The patreon accounts are ridiculous loool) but they seem especially toxic here.
OH RIGHT. How could I forget the awful content packs?
Back in the days of Sims 2/3, you'd get expansion and stuff packs released for the game, usually 5-6 each, for a total of ten-to-twelve. There was usually a new pack every 1-2 years to keep interest in the game high. Each new pack offered new content and gameplay features and usually retailed around 20-30 bucks, a bit of a hefty investiment for a gameplay expansion but if you were heavy into the Sims like most people buying them would be it was a no-brainer. IMO, Sims 3 was the best for this system of Expansion/Stuff packs, it has an insane amount of gameplay possibilites and content with all 12 packs installed.
Sims 4 did away with that forumla, for the most part. I'm not against trying new things but they upped the price of their expansions to 40 dollars. Compared to the 20 dollars you can get the Sims 3 expansions for on Steam - And dirt-cheap during sales -that really makes me pissed off. I could buy a fucking game for 40 dollars, this is a content expansion; and not a good one. Here's a good example. The Get Together Content Expansion for the Sims 4 is 39.99$ on Origin. It adds the ability to make social clubs and you go out with your madlads, introduces bar games like darts for your sims to play, and a new world.
Let's compare that to the Island Paradise expansion for the Sims 3. Island Paradise is 19.99$ on Steam right now, so half the price of Get Together. Island Paradise introduces the ability to own Resorts and manage them in real-time, a new fully-detailed tropical world with 8 hidden islands to discover and own, various boats to use as transportation, the Mermaid race, scuba-diving as a skill and finally, the houseboat lots, allowing sims to live on the water. Comparing that to the Get Together expansion you can sort of see where the stupidity begins.
So TL;DR if you're looking to play a Sims game the Sims 3 is the best. It might not be the most stable in the series (Mac port is a fucking N I G H T M A R E) but mods can help in that regard and I've gotten the game looking better than most next-gen titles. This hot dumpster fire doesn't deserve your cash, it's just looking to devour your wallet.

Battlefield 1. I wanted a good WW1 shooter full of trench warfare, huge charges and some pretty cool horse combat.
What did I get?
-no trench maps -Terribly done tanks (they just feel like tanks from BF4) -Every fucker is able to run around with assault weapons
In short, I was hoping for an interesting take on the great war. Just got Battlefield 4 again.

Okay, I figured I need to actually write something serious in my life. So here goes, wish me luck.
Total War Warhammer... Where do I even start? I might not be the biggest Warhammer nerd out there but this game really, really, really grinds my gears. First off? The gameplay has been streamlined and simplified beyond relief. Sure it plays like you'd expect a Total War game to play but do you remember the classics like Rome (the first one) and Medieval 2 Total War and how in-depth and awesome the mechanics and attention to detail there was? Yeah, forget that. Total Warhammer seems to just swat that all aside so that tactics are pretty much irrelevant and favors 'let's just rush everything in and hope for the best'. The Campaign doesn't feel like a Total War game at all and feels more like a DnD style board game, which would be fine for anything else but a Total War game. All this shite has been going on the decline since Rome 2 Total War though, so it's really not much of a surprise that Sega (cause I know or at the very least HOPE that Creative Assembly aren't the ones responsible for dunking the franchise into a bucket of shit). Despite all this though, there's one thing that gets me fuming more than anything else.
And that's the business model regarding DLC.
I'll be clear, I've never had a problem with DLC. I've always enjoyed getting expansions for games like Dawn of War when Winter Assault, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm came out as well as getting DLCs for pretty much every other game I enjoyed. The only problem is that with Warhammer itself, there is such a variety of races to choose from; Empire, Chaos, Dark/High/Wood Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins, Skaven, Beastmen, Vampire Counts, Tomb Kings... The list goes on. Dawn of War had a great system where every expansion gave a new campaign and two new factions to play as which to me is perfect value for money and I had no complaints picking them up when they released. Total Warhammer however seems to have adopted the same backwards system that was brought in when Rome 2 came out; release the game with four or so races and then make underwhelming additional content and push it out onto the market at a rather ridiculous price for what you're getting. I'd also like to make note that when the Wood Elves were released, supposedly it was so damned rushed that they actually forgot to include an ability to make a unit within the DLC at all useful (although it was cleared up that it was supposedly cut content like a week or two after release). This shit has me salty to no end, especially when I can tell people to buy Mount and Blade Warband for a fraction of the price of Total Warhammer, download the Warsword Conquest mod and have more content to play around with and enjoy then a title released by a company that I've looked up to since the original Rome Total War.
I really, really wanted to like this game but the lack of dedication, attention to detail and pretty much shit tier content all added up to me playing about six hours of the game before uninstalling and feeling like I had wasted both time and money going out to get a physical copy of the game (and even that didn't come with the day one Chaos Warbands DLC... Even though I got the special edition. Screw you, Total War; we waz kangz an shiet.)

I really do try to like this game. Sometimes I do- whenever I'm in combat or exploring I'm usually having an okay time. I really like some of the characters, like Nick and Piper and Cait, and they're very fun to talk to. Everything else is honestly just garbage. I really, really don't like the premise, and how the game slaps a backstory/morality onto you. I feel literally no attachments to my husband and son, because I've only known them for 10 minutes before one of them dies and the other gets kidnapped by balding Hunter Bail. I especially hate how I can't even decide to have a wife as a woman in this game, but that's a can of worms I'll just leave closed. And my biggest gripe: I hate how this entire set up was designed for the male protagonist. The opening is even narrated by him. If you play a woman, you're a lawyer who somehow knows how to use a suit of power armor and a minigun. I try not to get riled up over issues like this because usually it's not that big of a deal, but this honestly feels like such a slap in the face to me. The writing is absolutely terrible in my opinion. The characters (excluding Preston) are some of the only redeeming qualities of the writing. Everything else is poorly written or just flat out doesn't make sense. Why did a Vault Representative show up literally minutes before the bombs dropped and sign me up for a spot in the vault just up the hill? Why is there a psychic in this game (who btw is way too accurate for a psychic) who is given no explanation for her powers other than drugs? Why did a group of scientists and a balding Hunter Bail come into a vault of over 15 people who had never been exposed to radiation, kill my husband, steal my baby, and then leave said 15+ people to die? This last one actually pisses me off the most, there was actually no reason to leave everyone to die. There wasn't even a reason to kill the spouse- what do you think a parent is going to do when you try to yank their kid from them, let you??? Fuck. Fuck this part of the game to hell I am so salty about this one part. I'm honestly more salty that Kellogg existed but I guess people empathize with him?? idfk. People are weird. (or maybe im just bitter from having rped with this character in every single rp ive been in but shrug)I hate how Bethesda completely took out skills, I tried to be okay with it but I just missed it way too much; the SPECIAL checks were never used and never important. I hate how Todd Howard stood up on stage and lied to everyone by saying settlements would be optional, then not only did Bethesda release like 3/5 settlement related DLCs, but made it so the only way you could get a peaceful ending (sans the Institute) was to work with Preston and his Minutemen, thus having to use the settlement system anyways. I hate the voiced protagonists, they completely take me out of the experience and often times the characters just sound terrible. I hate the dialogue wheel with a fucking passion and I will never, ever be okay with it because it's probably the reason we don't see as many SPECIAL checks. I hate seeing the different ideas on forums on how the game could've been made better, knowing that they could've been if the developers gave more of a shit. Most of all, I hate playing this game and remembering how much more fun I had playing New Vegas. I hate that so much, I hate being that guy who sits in their corner bitching about how the older games were better. I want to go back and play that game, but on this engine, and I know that's never going to happen. TL;DR: I like this game for the characters and the combat. I hate this game because it's a watered down RPG turned shooter with a bogus story and a main character that isn't your own. The only reason I still play is because I need to finish this game already. And because I really like Nick Valentine. I cannot believe this character hasn't existed before. Help me.
