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.

    The side quests are cool. I can see the appeal. But yeah, I never felt excited to actually play it (or any Witcher game).

    I bet the books are a riot though

      My opinion might be more controversial than disliking the game. I only read the book the Netflix series is based on, but it was kind of a terrible book. I enjoyed the story for the most part. The issue for me is the writing style is terrible. I kept losing track of who was talking or doing something because the author never reconfirms which character said or did the thing. It ruined the book for me.

        Aghh I find that so frustrating. Honestly I don’t see an issue with writing which character did the thing every single time. It only feels weird when you’re writing it out. When you’re reading and everything’s flowing, you don’t notice it at all, it’s like punctuation.
