I just find BR games in general seem to bring out the worst behaviour and most involve sheer boredom in parts.
Give me a large scale conquest battlefield any day...

All mine have already been mentioned:
Sony AAA third-person stuff
Battle Royale stuff
GTA
Animal Crossing
Call of Duty
Battlefield
Surely there's no need to mention anything by Ubisoft? Other than the very rare gem their output is universally wank.Last edited by dataDave; 10-11-2021, 20:49.

I would say I'm fairly diverse in terms of types and franchises but there are quite a few I can't engage with.
Fortnite is definitely one of them. It's a very weak map, coupled with very dated gameplay slapped under a construction system that effectively rewards gameplay loop breaking.
And to get an obvious controversy out of the way.
Breath of the Wild - Whilst I wouldn't say it's in the category of being one I can't play I definitely can't get on board with the general consensus. Taking all of the elements the franchise is known for it's undoubtedly the weakest of all the 3D Zelda's. Flipping that over and looking at the 'new elements' like the open world, climbing etc. It all definitely shakes up what was a very set formula but the open world is... crap. So much praise and other than it being new to Zelda I can't think of why. It's bland as hell, contains no notable locations, dungeons, caverns etc. It's just a generic open world with a climbing stamina gauge. BOTW is the biggest free pass I've ever seen gamers give an anticipated sequel and it worries me that Nintendo will rest on their laurels with the next game as a result

DOTA 2 is even worse. It's quite a bit deeper, and after a whole couple of months I decided that I didn't want to have to invest eight hours a day on it before I could start having any fun.

They all have great music at least.

I dislike MOBAs for a different reason - the way their levelling curve results in a certain attitude to play.
This is going to piss off any MOBA fans but **** it...
I feel that the reason MOBA communities are so toxic is because a match which goes well involves getting ahead on the XP curve and trying to make sure your team rides that wave to victory.
To use an analogy - it's like a fight where you kick a person over, then repeatedly kick them while they're down for 20 minutes to make sure they can't get back up.
Now I accept that at high level play, against balanced teams, that's not how the game works and it's very much a game of nuance and skill. But at low-to-medium level (i.e. the experience for the bulk of the userbase) it's more like this. Kinda like how at high level play, Starcraft is a nuanced strategy game, but at low level, it's actually a racing game - it's about which player can execute a pre-defined strategy faster.
