Really? Which one(s) did you play?

The first 2 are actually great games, and we're especially fortunate to even have the 2nd one considering it's insane budget.

I haven't played 3, but it looked like it tried to do things differently and that didn't work.

By the 4th gen, things started to get stale. I think most of the love was gone by that point.

Instead of going forward, I recommend looking back. Try playing Pokemon Crystal on an emulator. I started recently and it's eye-opening how enjoyable it is.

Yeah. I'm finding that literally the only Bioware game that I've enjoyed is Dragon Age: Origins.

I really enjoy it, though.

It looks good, but I honestly don't care for it because of the protagonist.

I'm old school.

Final Fantasy is about atmosphere and presentation above all else.

Their production values are some of the highest in the industry.

It's a shame so much of it was used on turn-based game, but they've since pivoted to action combat and now we can get a balance.

Halo is probably the biggest series that I never got into, because I didn't have an Xbox.

I have the MCC pirated on my PC, just waiting until I can get a full group to do the entire thing co-op.

It would be glorious if the next Persona game had action-combat.

You might like Star Citizen when it comes out.

Borderlands is a lot of wasted potential.

I blame the crack-addled, reddit-tier presentation more than anything else.

It's like watching a standup comedian who is secretly begging for their audience to laugh.

Same, but mostly as a joke. To me, i like to joke that it's a perfect "non-game."

I can still recognize why others like it, though.

Just looks like more indie-crap to me.

I'd wager a lot of the hollow knight fanboys haven't played anything classic like Megaman.

They're really quantity > quality.

Back in the day when people might not have had enough games to keep them occupied, Bethesda games were always there providing massive bang for buck.

It's different being an adult and having access to way more digital entertainment. Now we don't feel as compelled to stretch our enjoyment as much as possible.
