I have heard nothing but how that game is just suppose to be this amazing experience with a story that's made people cry & the most memorable characters & it was snubbed at awards and such.
Meanwhile, I just rolled my eyes at "HOW CAN I SERVE YOU, MASTER?" with robo-maid & "HUR HUR WOMEN & THEIR WEIGHT, AM I RITE" and felt nothing with the battle system taking 90% of the control away from me to the point I could win battles by doing NOTHING. By the time the meters filled where I was allowed to actually....ya know...PLAY THE GAME, the battle was already over or close to it where I felt like it didn't matter. Unless the game decided "SURPRISE HERE'S AN ENEMY 30 LEVELS HIGHER THAN YOU OUTTA NOWHERE FROM THE SKY" & I died.
Thus comes the part where I'm told I'm wrong & that I'm not playing it right or how I need to get to the #th chapter or ## hours in before it becomes fun but all I think about is just how poor of a first impression it left me in comparison to seeing it on GotY lists or some trying to debate game of the decade.
Man, I dunno. I don't think I ever felt this way for a game. Sure, I don't care for certain games/franchises, but not to this level. & for a game in one of my favorite genres makes the feeling even stranger. I know I should give it a 2nd chance one of these days, but at the same time, I just don't feel motivated to do so. I don't know why I'm being so bullheaded about this one particular game. At least with BotW, despite bouncing off that game hard after 30 hours, I still understand why it clicked with so many people.
