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

[iamthemilkman]

Musou games. Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem Warriors, etc. I hate these lazily designed games and I'll never touch another one. At least Three Houses offered a little more depth than the rest.

 

[Sunnyside]

never got into doom either seems wildly popular though

Funnily enough Doom is on my list because I cannot physically play most FPS games. I get intense motion sickness. Otherwise I probably would give it a shot. I appreciate the design philosophy behind the series.

im seeing some of these answers and man....some of yall are missing out

my personal answer is monster hunter or any MMORPG basically

 

[HANK ARISEN]

Castlevania. I hate backtracking.

I hate those Hyperdimension Neptunia games. I remember back in the day I was a huge Yakuza fan, there was a point in time that 5 could have damn well not come to the west due to low traction here. We were lucky 5 came out, but it was a late ps3 title and didn't do well outside of Japan. Meanwhile those Hyperdimension games got full boxed releases and limited editions 'round the same time. At some point it turned into a permanent hate, born of spite. Now it's on sight.

Dark Souls. Cause Bandai Namco adjusted the prices in my currency so crazily that I sworn off buying anything from them ever.

You should do the classic ones then.

Honestly this is more about me giving up on franchise instead of never touching them so sorry but I can´t come up with ones that I will never touch because I wanna give all of them a chance.

GTA honestly Rockstar needs to make something else they are like one trick pony at this point.

Last of us the first game was good then it just went downhill in quallity and honestly they need to come up with something new.

Horizone Honestly They need to make a new Killzone game the shit that basically made them who they are.
Halo I did love 1-3 but honestly quality dropped and 343 and bungie both become crap.

Legend of Zelda honestly they not made a great games sense twilight princess but then again Nintendo become shit so will never happen.

 

[Retro Doomer]

Call of Duty ( I have Zero Interest in this Series)
Command and Conquer (Everyone was hipped about this game but I never jumped on the that train)
Barbie Games ;) (Obviously)
Probably some other Gaming Series that I can't remember right now.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Maybe Nier? I find the lore interesting but the idea of having to do 10 games and spinoffs to be able to appreciate the full story scares me a bit.

I will keep avoiding Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, Nier and Trails/Kiseki because I just can't care enough about whatever they're trying to do. Also avoiding every Vanillaware game because I'm not a fan of their art style.

 

[Cardboardtubeknight Cardboardtubeknight]

Those wacky cellphone games.

Anything with character designs like the Hyper Dimension Neptunia or Atelier series.

It's the actual worst shit lol. And it's so much of the JRPG aesthetic now too lol. I'll just be generous and say I suppose I'm not the target demographic haha

 

[DaeZun]

-NiER Series.
The only time i tried Replicant for the PS3 was boring as hell and had a fairly generic combat system, with the exception of the bullet hell i guess.

-All the games of quantic dream.
Heavy Rain was enough to put me off playing any of their other games.

-All xeno games after Xenogears.
The first episode of Xenosaga was quite mediocre and killed all my enthusiasm to continue.

-Digimon games.
The image laundering of Digimon World is a brainwashing campaign.

Out of all games you've decided to chose the black sheep instead of Dracula's Curse, Super IV or even Rondo.
