sometimes you play a game for a bit or even to near completion but never finish it for some reason. some of these games are even super fun but you just never feel the drive to finish or you get hardcore gatekept by a boss (not me, but I'm sure you do). also some just dont have an end so you just end up posting your thoughts about it in the friday fucker thread. i do this heaps so i thought this would be a good place to share thoughts on all those particular games deathloop this game sucks loving rear end, i managed 55 minutes before the thought of loading it again made me sick. this is like if rockstar made a bioshock sequel warhammer 40,000: space marine this game kicked rear end, gears of war that encourages rushing down enemies to chainsaw them instead of hiding behind cover. This really falls apart in the last act, they run out of original ideas and it start to get samey and tedious. i played the final boss once and it was long and boring and i had to go to berd so i left it with the intention that i would go back and finish it later for completionists sake, but now ive accepted im probably not going to do that the bureau: xcom declassified everyone sort of accepted this game as being bad but ive never actually known someone to play it. the install was goddamn huge and the game is straight up mediocre with a lot of filler and base wandering, theres a lot of fun ideas in here though. i honestly think the game copped a lot of flack from people thinking or caring about the xcom lore like anyone else gives a poo poo. squad based cover shooter with powers is badass, they even have some super tanky enemies which are actually fun to fight because it requires actual squad management and clever use of your abilities. honestly the biggest issue i have with this one is that theres no tension like a regular xcom game, missions cant be permanently failed and i played on the hardcore setting where squad mates can permanently die and i was still running my original crew at the end because you can still pick them up to save them. if they made a sequel that just straight up stole all the best bits from control and made the powers even more powerful, and added the tactical layer of xcom without a main character that cant die, it would be goated. i stopped playing sometime in the last mission with this one as well, it goes way too long and honestly id seen every interaction on repeat by this point so the whole thing just felt like a job to keep playing. im sure the story sucked rear end too but like i give a poo poo

metro last light: i got to a huge gun fight near the end of the game with no health and barely any ammo and gave up. i'd have tried to push through if it weren't for the lovely aiming your character has. sucks cause the rest of the game was fun.

i think thats where my copy came from. it's not great, but there's the idea of a good game buried in there which is both compelling, and then frustrating when you hit the point where you realise that's all there is to it

project x zone gameplay was ok but it was too long and needed a little more. you stop getting new things to do when there's still like 20 chapters to go and there's so many enemies on every map

Resident Evil 7 At least 3 times I've gotten a few hours into the game and just lost interest, only to put it down and start over several months later. The atmosphere's great but I dunno, it just doesn't click for me. I liked Village well enough but 7 just feels a bit dull to play for some reason. Transistor Can't even remember why I stopped playing this so I probably need to give it another try sometime

control i really wanted to like this, but the narration is annoying and dumb and the story just didnt grab me phantasy star 4 started this one years ago (i think in a retro games thread???), didn't finish it, tried it again this year, didn't finish it. this is not a good thing as it whips rear end, so i really need to finish it ace combat 7 loved what I played of it but unfortunately it came right as my toddler began a brutal sleep regression so lol not happening, maybe next year

Monster Hunter: World I've tried to get into MH for years, I really feel like I should love it, but there's something about this game that feels like my time is being wasted. I hear Iceborne is great but I've never made it that far. I tried again last week and I ended up reinstalling Dragon's Dogma instead. I love the GB games and was hyped for this one. I finished Red's story and then got stuck in a maze-base thing with the blonde lady. It's been two years and I haven't made any progress. game beat

Persona 4 Golden: i was really enjoying it but i burnt myself out heavily by the time i was facing Shadow Rise, think in part by playing so much of it in like a week but also i found the fusion/compendium stuff kinda overwhelming for a newb like me. it's been long enough now that i forget pretty much what every spell and persona do but i definitely don't want to start over so it's currently in some whackass limbo until i nut up and do one or the other Fallout 4: i preordered it, played just under two hours, concluded it was worse than New Vegas in every way, and dropped it like a sack of poo poo Psychonauts: i rectified this a week or two ago but when i first played it back in high school and got to the part where you need to collect 400 Arrowheads i didn't realize the Dowsing Rod let you find clumps of like 20 or 50 at once and upon thinking i would have to collect 300 individually i just gave up and shelved it for over a decade The Witness: The Shitness

The 2nd pathfinder game I bounced off of after 50 hours. I started at too hard of a difficulty and never messed with the ruleset before, so the game is bad and I moved in with my life.

I’m constantly dropping games unintentionally because I’m always juggling like 5 games at once and sometimes even games that I’m really enjoying will fall off when a new one rotates in. I think Deathloop is the only recent game that comes to mind that I’ve dropped on purpose though, just a completely miserable experience. None of the guns feel very good, the enemies are all the same and just rush straight towards you with no AI, the environments aren’t interesting, and the writing’s just godawful and grating (your hacking device is called the hackamajig and is exclusively referred to that way). The time loop/time advancing thing felt really half-baked too, I remember there’s one enemy that you can see digging a tunnel on the earliest time, and if you sneak past him instead of killing him then he keeps digging and the tunnel gets bigger as time advances, which seems like it could be cool, but I forget if there’s literally nothing in that tunnel once it’s dug or if it’s such an insulting little reward that it may as well be, like a handful of pocket change or something. Just kind of emblematic of the whole thing in my experience. I had sort of assumed that it was just crapped out halfway through since it was a PlayStation exclusive partially developed after Arkane was acquired by Microsoft but then Redfall hit so I guess Arkane just lost their touch.

I have an extremely bad habit of abandoning games because I have ADHD and get distracted and bored really easily lol. Most notably though I've tried like 5 different Tales games and have come to realize I just don't like how the series plays

Mega Man Zero. It’s ftw but the final boss rush always kicked my rear end. Maybe I’ll try again someday.
