Ask Lemmy

i could not stand the sgu 1st season it was so boring, doomed the whole franchise. only a few episodes in the second half the season were interesting.

Breaking Bad. Well, the episodes I watched.

Game of Thrones. There needs to be something positive, even just a sliver.

The Witcher games. Everyone tells me how great they are and I have tried playing them, but it just feels like a chore and it never hooks me.

Lord of the rings. I watched the whole trilogy of movies, and I tried to read the Hobbit. They're all so boring, I don't get the appeal.

Dr. Who

All of them. I have tried.

I could not get into Andor despite really wanting to.

I did not like Baldur's Gate 3. I have tried multiple times now and I just don't like it.

About Berserk, the comic is 10x more miserable, the show literally adapted the happiest part of the story

I tried very hard, but I did not enjoy The Outer Wilds.

For those who don't know, it is a first person exploration game over ~12 planets within a small solar system. There is a core game loop that lasts about 20 minutes wherein you can fly your ship anywhere and explore until the cycle ends.

The thing I really disliked was that you only got ~10-15 minutes of exploration before you had to restart the cycle back at home and go back to where you started. There was also a plethora of environmental hazards that were instant death, all while you had oxygen and fuel to manage. Dying would also reset the cycle so it wasn't uncommon to spend 5+ minutes getting somewhere only to die and restart a few times. It just made me frustrated.

I did complete it with the help of mods that let me teleport to the key locations. People really liked the story but it really didn't hit for me. I feel like I was born with the cilantro gene for this game because I really didn't like it.

David Duchovney had a TV show called Californication that a lot of my friends liked and thought was funny. I didn't like it because, unlike Bojack, the "antics" of the main character was the punchline and I just thought it was very sad.

The Godfather. It insists upon itself.

I never got hooked on Breaking Bad. I liked it looking back but at the time I had to make myself watch it where as with actually good series I need to stop myself from binging multiple episodes a day.

The Office

Back when it was still Twitter, I posted "when does the office get funny? I've watched about 6 episodes across 3 seasons and haven't LOLed once, I just keep wondering why this show is popular"

The Florida Project. It's a great film, but I wanted to strangle a lot of the people in the movie because they're so perfectly and realistically obnoxious. Especially the six year old. They're all great actors and I never want to see the movie ever again. Still glad I saw it once. Kinda like how I'll never rewatch The Wire, I just felt gross after.

Succession
Mulholland Drive
Kill Bill

Assassin's creed. I was okayish game, till I downloaded Hades, and I completely forgot it even existed on my pc.

A few months ago I bought Slay The Spire. I do love roguelikes, I do enjoy card games. I even like roguelike deck builders (balatro is fantastic).

But after a few months I can say for certain, I hate Slay The Spire. I would like it more if it was fun.

I couldn't watch Berserk because of all the sexual violence. We are not the same.

Titanic.

That's the movie where they show his disgusting face all the time, but I can't stand his ugly frontside that totally ruins this otherwise good movie.

Monty python

Final Fantasy. There's too much 😭

supernatural i never watched it when it first came out, like only like during the end of the pandemic i was binging on the clips. S1-S5 were the best, since its by kripke. but 6-15 were just cringey because its also gay/fiction by the fans.

ISAIP after season 12, were wierd and off putting, with mac roid use and him trying to defend it for some reason as a secret knowledge only he knows,(its not a secret people in hollywood are taking peds to make them look buff), and stretching his face to look younger.

Star trek ~ it just didn't hook me for some reason

I hate Dark Souls 3. It was just so boring to me.

I enjoyed the exploration: you can't just run through the game since death is around every corner, which made it exiting and rarely that frustrating.

But most Bosses where just so boring. You learn them once, and your reward is that you can actually play the good part of the game again. If I look at something like Monster Hunter, learning the Monster gives you a faster clear time, which makes farming easier and is satisfying that way. Learning a boss in DS reminded me when I was about to quit geometry dash - I just feel my time has been wasted.

There are a lot of cool builds! And you will probably only play one each playthrough, because leveling unlocks a playstyle, but levels get VERY expensive (and I don't think you can undo levels), so at some point you stop experimenting and just go with what you where already playing the last 20h.

These points made it hard for me to focus on the amazing parts of the game. The atmosphere, the combat and, as mentioned, exploration.

"If you hate it so much, why bother playing through it?": after beating abyss watchers, I said to my DS Friend that I don't like this game. He said "Get Good" so I did. It's still just not a fun game (for me)
