I agree. I grew up with the franchise so i'm used to it but it's a terrible design choice and i'm glad the recent entries as well as most other JRPGs let you choose when to have encounters.I've sincerely tried to like the Final Fantasy series, but random battles are like telling me I can only eat broccoli dipped in sostromming fermented fish juice for the rest of my life.
This is it for me too. I swear I get every Zelda game, play for about 5 hours, then get bored.The Zelda games. Bought Breath of the Wild with my Switch at launch and sunk around fifteen hours into it before dropping it. Didn't want to give up with the entire series so I decided to buy Ocarina of time and couldn't get into that either. Didn't give up there and also bought Wind Waker and Link Between worlds, but I couldn't get into those two, too. Just not for me, I guess.
Yeah this is how it feels for me too. I really cannot understand why people liked Skyrim and then why there was enough demand for them to keep re-releasing and milking the shit out of it.Bethesda RPGs(played one, played them all)
I feel you.I've never been able to get into Zelda. I've tried so many times due to how popular the series is, but I've always found the games boring and uninspired.
If you didn't like BOTW, I doubt TOTK will change your mind. I mean, I don't like the weapon breaking aspect, specially since it's so quick to break....but the overall package is awesome so it's one of my favorite games.Breath of the Wild. It has potential but Jesus Christ is it bogged down by shit weapons and uninspiring story. It's so dull. I made a few efforts to start it but it's just not for me. Now once I wade through the bullshit media hype for the sequel and find out the issues I had were tweaked, then I'd give TOTK a shot. Im hoping this is the case. If it is more of the same then I might try BOTW one last time and if it still doesn't click, then I'm finished with the Zelda series for another while.
After much annoyance I then felt weapon breaking forces you to explore and use other abilities. I think without it I wouldn’t have bothered searching all over the place for better weapons or finding fun ways to take on enemies. Such as loving metal boxes or boulders at them or exploding them in a fiery death while listening to their screams as there whole base burns.If you didn't like BOTW, I doubt TOTK will change your mind.

Side note: I chased after the Master Sword thinking it won't "break" like all the other weapons and I had it in my head that this is why they wanted us to chase after the Master Sword but even that will 'require' a charge; the game is fun in other aspects that it more than makes up for the silly weapon breaking system.
I don't necessarily want it gone (a wood sword breaking, or a weapon wearing out overtime with use makes sense) but I would like it not to break so quickly.
Same. Just couldn’t do it.This!
I’ve tried a few times before but that piece of shit weapon breaking mechanic shuts it down for me every time.

???It all feels to 'gamey'.
The entire series? 2D, 3D, spin-offs? Maybe you just tried a bad one?I've never been able to get into Zelda. I've tried so many times due to how popular the series is, but I've always found the games boring and uninspired.
Any Nintendo game because I don't own any Nintendo console and I don't really want to considering how expensive everything is for Switch, and because of those idiotic decisions that Nintendo keeps making all the time. They genuinely trigger me. Like, why the hell would they put a limited time to buy a digital version of those Mario remasters? Or why would they consistently release an inferior hardware that only serves to hold back the entire platform?
They're so stupid that I just can't in good conscience spend any money to bankroll their bullshit.

That’s fair.The whole series. I've haven't played them all, but I've played both 3D and 2D Zelda games over the years. They just never clicked with me.
The title of the thread is "games that you want to like but can't" not "games you don't like even though you haven't played them".
No, you haven't.Bethesda RPGs(played one, played them all)
Good choice. Looks amazing, but I hate the damn Bat tank combat and apparently it's a huge part of the game.My list:
