No Man's Sky: I've tried playing it and just end up getting bored. Every once in a while I'll go back and check it out again, feeling like I somehow didn't give it a fair shake, but remain underwhelmed.
Maybe next time...

All of the Monster Hunter games. The gameplay is awful and the story drags on. I thought it was just that I picked the first one, but after trying the others it feels like a $5 game series.
And trying to play with your friends? Fuck you, do 30 minutes of boring solo stuff before we even think about letting you have fun.

Most Bethesda games.
The quality is just so low, the issues so glaring, I can't. It's like reading a fine book riddled with so many typos you give up after 2 pages because you're so distracted.
Okay, to be fair, maybe the latest Skyrim iteration is better! I haven't tried. Wouldn't bet on it, though.

Any games that have gatcha mechanics.
Everything with round based battle mechanics.
It seems like all of the answers are "I personally didn't enjoy this game therefore I can not conceive of anyone else enjoying it."
I find that interesting.

Final fantasy, FIFA, GTA, CoD, Modern warfare and Persona are the ones that spring to mind for me.

Pretty much any AAA game. It's like going to the cinema to watch a movie, just the commercials beforehand never stop
Borderlands, I always found the art style a bit off-putting.
its mindless shoot shit get loot fun. if that aint your bag you just wont get much out of it. handsome jack is hilarious though
The first time I played Borderlands 1, I didn’t understand what it was going for and I didn’t like it. I picked it up years later and blasted through the entire series. It was a riot! I’m older, so all of the stupid references are fucking hilarious to me like the ninja turtles, Star Wars, Frankenstein, Godzilla, Lord of the Rings, Moby Dick, etc.
Borderlands is a lot of wasted potential.
I blame the crack-addled, reddit-tier presentation more than anything else.
It's like watching a standup comedian who is secretly begging for their audience to laugh.
Everyone is going gaga for Peak rn (including my BF) and I don't see the appeal at all other than maybe the social aspect. The game itself looks boring AF.
I also haven't liked many AAA games since graduating high school. All these things that are cultural phenomena like The Last of Us just... Didnt like 'em. I feel like most of the AAA games that blow up in popularity are only applauded for the story and dialogue, because the game itself tends to be generic and mid and does nothing special, unique or interesting at all.
I want to see a shift from focusing on telling a story or trying to be High Art and just make a thing that is fun to play as a game that also isn't loaded with MTX and is only fun to play because it psychologically addicts you.
