FROM Software games.
I'd say Soulslike games, but I've actually really enjoyed several of them, or atleast Souslike adjacent games (Jedi Fallen Order, Jedi Survivor, Lies of P, Stellar Blade, etc..).
But FROM just never clicks with me.

Old World.
It should be a slam dunk. I'm old, I live in the world...
I've bounced off it like three times, but I keep trying. It's supposed to have the best AI in the 4X space, so I want to have a proper go at it, but its appearance to Civ, whilst being significantly different from it, is impeding my progress. My brain simply won't let go of the Civ expectation.

Horrible battle system, boring setting. Imho.

Honestly, the Monster Hunter series. It looks crazy fun when I watch it, but it feels like shit when I play it.

Had the game for about 6 months and attempted to sit down and play it twice, just cannot get into it. Had a look at the PS app and accumulated less than an hour of playtime. Cutesy platformers are not really my genre but I thought I'd give it a go due to the hype surrounding it.
I might try it again over the holidays.

Red Dead Redemption 2.
Absolutely gorgeous by my god does it have just dull combat and trying to do anything in the game is just so slow for the sake of realism.

I tried to play it 5 different times. It's so damn slow and boring. Listening to Geralt belt out long boring dialogue just takes too much time for me.

The Outer Wilds. I have tried a few times, but I find the carrot on a stick detectice approach to be too boring. I just don't get engaged into hints written on walls and basic gameplay that feels like the default settings of generic game engine number two.
Sonic. I always disliked that you need to know the levels to run at fast speeds without bumping into things. It's counter-intuitive.

Silent Hill f
Silent Hill 2 remake was awesome, and I like Souls games. But I hit a wall of difficulty and enjoyment with SHf maybe midway through and haven't been back to it. Especially hearing that it drops off and becomes more combat focused towards the end.

Elden Ring! I don't know why but I have never had any desire to play it. I once jumped in because a bunch of friends were playing, so I wanted to get like 20-40 hours on my own. Weather they were still playing by then was secondary because I just wanted to experience the game solo, first. Bounced at 10 hours and can't remember a thing. It's clearly a brilliant game. Hopefully there is some time when I can get into it.

Anything outside of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, I still can't wrap my head around how shit Fallout 4 is.

I tried. MMOs are lame.
One of the biggest disappointments of the generation. Didn't take long for me to flush it. Understandable why Konami fired him.

Four hours in. Incredible setting, good story so far, stunning art design, and solid combat. I could not be more bored. It is just not clicking with me at all. I will give it another solid night of playing it, but I have a hankering to play Resident Evil 2 again for the umpteeth time. Open world games are not my bag. This is exactly how Red Dead Redemption 2 was for me too.

Every game I wanted to play clicked for me. That's me before but if it happens again, to save my time, I watch early walkthroughs unless it means something to me.

I had trouble getting into it back in 2016 when I played it. I keep contemplating starting the MGS series from first since I've never played any.

I admit there are multiple ways to get you hooked with these types of games, one of them is making the worst possible choices you could ever think and see how the plot progress.

1 is good, 2 is bad, 3 is decent, and 4 is good. Don't bother with Phantom Pain.

Dwarf Fortress: I'm fascinated by the game and I love watching YouTube videos about it, but I just can't bring myself to actually play it because it's so complex.
Planet Zoo: I would love to build large and interconnected habitats, but I'm simply not creative enough in that regard, and everything ends up as practical, basic setups that are anything but pretty.
The Last of Us: I keep hearing how great it is, and I think I've tried it at least five times, but I still only got about 3 hours in. It's just so boring and slow.
Yakuza: I only like the turn based games, but can't get into the real time combat games.
Current WoW: I always had a lot of fun with WoW in the past, but in recent years it feels like a completely different game that has totally lost its charm.

You do know that is the most successful MGS game and Konami did not fire him, seriously you have access to google why don't you just do some basic research it is not that hard

I played what I played. The game fucking sucks. It also cost a shit load to make. It better be the highest selling. They shit canned his ass. Dress it up however you want.

No I don't care about your opinion about the game feel free to say whatever but to think Konami fired Kojima because they didn't like MGS V is a gap in your knowledge that could have been easily fixed with a google search

There's a myriad of single player games I've bounced off of and tried to come back to that are highly praised I haven't yet completed but maybe sort of want to like:
Witcher 3
Half life 2
Yakuza 0
Skyrim
Zelda ToTK
Zelda Skyward Sword
GTA5
But the games I really want to get into, but can't are giant time sinks for competitive games like:
Age of Empires 2
Virtua Fighter 5
Deadlock
DOTA2
League of Legends
Escape from Tarkov
I've played all of the above and hell even have over 1000 hours in DOTA and League but never play them anymore. Not because some curse was broken or I hated them, no I loved them. They are the tightest most incredible moment to moment gameplay loops I've encountered. I could play either the rest of my life I imagine with nothing else and be fine but the sad truth is the climb is impossible for me. It's like wanting to be a basketball player but you're 4 feet tall lol. All the passion but none of the potential.
That said of those games listed above I'd love to learn and play Age2, but I'll stick to the casual mostly SP gamer life.

Death Stranding. It's fill with boring task to do. Just an boring life simulator.
Nier : Automata. I wanted to love it. Atmosphere and story looks great but the camera constantly changing and sometimes purposely obscuring part of the screen to make some boss harder was a big turn off.
Also the combat is extremely mashy.
And I find the save system confusing between the long intro without save, then a "manual" save system BUT sometimes the game still makes autosave despite telling you it's not.
