2 picks for me: Stardew Valley, most boring shit ever, I don’t see the appeal, seriously how the hell did that thing sold 20 million copies?

And Witcher 3, I own that game since 2019 and I regret buying it, funny thing is that I’ve finished Dragon Age 1 and 2, which are kinda same genre but I actually enjoyed those games. I guess the old BioWare sauce carried those games unlike Witcher where there’s nothing to enjoy in its massive pointless world.

    Witcher 3 used to be like that for me. Everyone kept telling me to do the Bloody Baron quest; did it, didn’t care for it, and stopped playing the game. Four years later, I decided to give it another shot and I liked it a lot and finally understood why people like it.

      When I tried playing it there were a couple quests near the beginning where you get to choose someones fate. Nether answer is a good one and I felt bad whichever I picked. I stopped playing at that point.

        I stopped playing after I saw how slow and clunky the combat was, and how the spellcasting is basically 5 different colours of the same spell.

        Doesn’t matter how good the story is when the gameplay in between is a snoozefest.

      I didn’t really like the witcher 3. Found the combat wasn’t that great and I spent most of my time walking around talking to people or trying to repair my weapons . I didn’t get very far into the game though so I’m not sure how much that changes later in the game . I did like the card game Gwent though .
