What's a game everyone loves but you don't like it?

The Witcher Series, they never clicked on me, and honestly like The Last of Us it makes me sleep more than anything.

Lufia 2. Everyone is always singing its praises but I just hate puzzles so much it hurts :P

You and me are beefing now. We cannot see eye to eye in anything over this. We're enemies.

Earthbound, I just hate It. Most people are just blinded by the nostalgia, and of course parrot those feelings. Within two to three hours It's just been the oppisite of fun, because who doesn't love grinding and feeling lost on what to do to progress?

What kind of sicko has enemies that steal Items as the first encounters when you have no access to a store yet?

I personally can't really understand the universal appeal of the Final Fantasy franchise.

the men are beautiful
the women are beautiful
the music is beautiful
the art is beautiful
the struggles against the self are beautiful

IKR?
It was a complete flop, and now EVERYONE claims their undying love LMAO.

Good to see Final Fantasy being a reoccurring mention.

All of them.

FF7's the victim of many translation errors, but this isn't one of them. It's actually 'addiction' in Crisis Core that's the mistranslation. 中毒 is the word, and it can mean both addiction and poisoning. Overdose would also make sense. Even without going to confirmation from outside sources, we can know it's not addiction because... addiction is never what's portrayed in the game. Cloud is never fiending for mako or showing a desire to get mako into his body. At his worst, he's almost insensate.

The matter gets more muddled when Dirge of Cerberus introduces the DG soldiers or whatever who actually are distinctly addicted to mako, lol. So mako seems to definitely be a thing you can get addicted to, but Cloud only ever regards it passively.

Have read more about FF7 than any human should but have never heard this claim about his name before.

neways I PLAYED witcher 3 recently. I played with a mod that made a noble effort to make the gameplay better. And it worked for a little bit...
I think... the open world really did the game's story a disservice. There are some nice setpieces and some interesting bits of scenario writing, but it is just bogged down in so, so much pointless crap. So much that they couldn't even conclude all the threads that were set up in the previous games.

Well I'd figured he'd been oversaturated, especially in the lifestream and have to dry out for a bit.

Perhaps Dynamite Headdy...I was never comfortable with the character control which I also disliked a bit, however the graphical style of this game is unique. The really high difficulty of the European version did the rest....

All of them.

All of the popular games? Or All games?

I only just learned the other day that game had an actual story... in Japan!

I tried very hard, but I just can't vibe with Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI
I did finish all Final Fantasy games up to FF12 + 15 (except for 11, obviously), but I can't stand FF6. I rather play FF2 (the one with Firion and Oblivion-like level up that everyone seems to hate)
