Game franchises that you don't intend to touch/give a chance regardless of how good people say they are?

[Ikagura Ikagura]

No it doesn't show a list and there's nothing wrong about giving questions as answers...

Then you could simply answer my first comment. Me being a fan or not shouldn't change anything.

as long as lost ark and last crusade isn't indie im good.

Why do you care that much about it?

[Graves Ruinwalker]

-CoD (meh...)
-Yakuza (Not my kind of game)
-Uncharted (The ps1 Tomb Raider games were much better )
-All David Cage games ( except Omnicron)
-Warcraft (Kinda generic for me)
-Half-life (Ehh ... interesting to watch Civvie 11 to ramble about its games but thats it )
-Amnesia (Rather too walky and talky for my taste )

Red Dead Redemption 2, despite everyone praising it, I played it for 2 hours and got bored; too much stuff to do is not always good

I played about two hours of RDR 2 as well. It reminded me of GTA except if you had to manually fuel up the cars, give them oil changes and work on the brakes just to drive them.

 

[The Prince of Misery]

Sports games - (I think most of them are boring, especially the modern ones.)
Moba's - (Lol was already quite stressful, then are I have no interest to play others of its genre.)
Mana series - (I just don't like the visuals)
Call of duty - (they all look the same for me)
GTA - (with the exception a few games, I don't understand the obsession people have with this franchise.)
The vast majority of exclusive of the eighth generation - (they are far below average to my taste.)
Fate grand order - (Gacha mechanics)
Monster Hunter or derivatives - (I don't like craft)
The legend of Zelda - (I think your dungeons and puzzles are boring)

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Why would you not give something a chance? Honestly just those I'm not interested in like indie games yeah I'm not gonna play (probably) fear and hunger or some cutsie farming simulator number 9000.


Oh yeah most Nintendo games they look boring feel to sanitized......i hate Nintendo and dislike Nintendo adults literally just family friendly brand that's all it got , though i might try it at one point.

 

[Den MDM Den MDM]

Fckin Metal Gear Solid, and I can't even explain why, but all I hear and see about it is completely unappealing to my brain cells. For me it's all about the moe ya know

 

[Sunnyside]

Call it shallow but I just lose all interest when I see games in a realistic setting (GTA/Fallout/Hitman), or a medieval setting that's overly drab in color (Skyrim/Witcher/DarkSouls). It doesn't matter how acclaimed they are. To me games are supposed to be colorful and not bound by the rules of reality. Why would I want realism in the games I play? Reality sucks! XD

 

[Boo Man]

Persona series
i love JRPGs & turn based combat n stuff
but i cannot play a game about Japanese high school students

 

[DrunkGecko]

Anything that's story heavy, just because I don't like having to pay attention

 

[DOOP169]

FF7 remake, just think it will ruin my fondness for the title.

 

[Sir Auriel of Lionel]

Pokemon.
Never played, not even a spin off and at this point even with roms and hacks at my fingers I don't really don't feel a need to break that streak now. Double after the Palworld lawsuit which I haven't played either. I just like being stupidly contrarian sometimes.

 

[Max]

Persona and Kingdom Hearts, too cringe for me

 

[tuesday]

Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate.

Not interested, never will be.

 

[E0N]

Any game that is online based or online-multiplayer will always be a no for me.

[Letule]

Pretty much all franchises that were created after the Wii/PS3/Xbox 360 era. There's very little about them that feels compelling beyond a few interesting characters here and there.

 

[Golden Bat]

time willing, if it interests me ill play it, limiting yourself feels like a waste

 

[Dyne]

Fortnite
Minecraft
Call of Duty
Overwatch

 

[elbanano]

The Elder Scrolls too, I dont care about the remake nor how many times will skyrim be ported everywhere, they look like mid games that are only fun when you install like a thousand mods to make them playable

 

[Rox00]

Trails - Not really into any of those games that are part of a big saga of games and especially if they are RPGs since they are all really long.
Call of Duty (also any shooters that's not Halo)- Self-obligatory since they feel the same, especially CoD lol.
The Legend of Zelda - I have never played a Zelda game since never really grew up with those games and only know about the games from Smash and general common knowledge like MM and OoT. It might change in the future but I never found them interesting enough to pick up years later and my backlog is already big.
Doom - I know about Doom and it's probably really good and all but like Zelda I've never touched any Doom entries nor really was interested in playing either the original games or the newer games, I'll always give it the respect it deserves but just not my kind of game.

LOL what the hell do you play then? seems like a burnout issue.

old arcade style genres action, fighters, shmups, run'n gun, puzzle, rhythm games. like Street Fighter, DonPachi, Puyo, Beatmania for example. I also like RPGs, strategy, (2D, 2.5D) platform, board and vehicle combat games. not a burnout issue, I'm not knocking on any game mentioned, personally I'm not into them.

 

[DjQuick2008]

Halo is another 1 ive never played and ive got a series S not saying i wont play it just gotta give myself time for it.
