What is the most boring video game? I don't mean joke games like pic related and Desert Bus, but games that were designed to be games and are supposed to be fun, but are actually just fucking boring. This means no Depression Quest or anything else that is intentionally unfun like it.

my opinion

Any CoD single player

Spec Ops: The Line

this

No reason to play this uninspired snorefest when we have games like DT2

Borderlands; any of them.

Haven't played eo1 but I'm many hours into 4 and loving it. The grind, the exploration, the cartography, the ass smashing difficulty. Maybe the series just improved over time but I'm having a great time.

You just don't know better.

Dragon age inquisition.
Memeing about bulls and breeches is all well and good, but a much greater crime that diversity is how consistently tepid it was. It was frankly kind of impressive, because even when it had interesting shit on paper, in practice it fell completely and utterly flat.
A doomed man, kept alive by mad experiments and flesh grafts, reduced to a barely sentient abomination, is showed maybe 5 seconds total, never frontally, and simply appearing as a bald guy anyway. Alistair and Anora show up out of the blue at the end of a quest, and it's motherfucking pic related.
And on top of that, level design aside, it fixed literally nothing from dragon age 2. It is utterly incomprehensible anyone sentient would praise it, let alone as the GOTY.

Turn-based RPGs.

Most educational games, I guess.

I actually enjoyed the first game a lot

Pic related probably has to be one of the most boring games I've ever played. I'd rather Brazillian wax my entire body rather than play this game again.

I could never get into any JRPG that wasn't Pokemon. And Pokemon is western as fuck for a JRPG so it barely qualifies. I don't think all turn based RPGs are boring though, just Jap/weebshit ones

Dude, it's japanese as fuck. Are you fucking retarded?

Once you try some better stuff like Unchained Blades, Demon Gaze or DT2 you will surely change your mind (and improve your pleb taste)

I always felt like it was more western than most other JRPGs. That is to say its not full-on weeb moeshit. The only Japanese thing about it is the anime artstyle of the Pokemon themselves and the NPCs

GTA5.
Seriously, I wanted to like it, but that tutorial is just made to spook people away.

Persona is quite infamous for having huge introductions, I think P3 and P4 are 3 hours long, and I heard P5 has 7 and half hours of intro.

I love it anyway tho.

You might be mentally retarded if you couldn't get past the prologue. Don't get me wrong, the game is still boring as fuck but for different reasons

most western computer rpgs and western mmos. I feel like a special needs child playing anything from the west made after 2001

DayZzz in my case, its also the game i regret purchasing the most since its been on early access for what? Like 3 years and they basically only managed to get few cars and couple weapons in.

inb4 "its just a beta bro"
fuck off, dean hall just pulled off the ultimate get rich quick scheme, by selling you a game that it never was or never will be

...

...

I could get past it, but it was just plain boring. Everything was so handholden, the aim was pratically automatic, and there was cutscenes every 30 seconds or something.

Seriously, if a big sign appeared in the screen saying REFUND ME IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE I wouldn't be impressed.

First, japanese people can't be weebs.
Secondly, it is full on weeb moeshit,
Third, it's responsible for creating most of the furries you see today.

It wasn't so much the introduction, it was the entire game itself.

Oh ok. I recommend checking out P1 and P2, they are way more thrilling, P2 in particular escalated so absurdly that is funny. Yes, it's the hitler one.

EO is fun, but every time I play one, I eventually wipe, lose 20+ minutes of progress, and never work up the motivation to play again.
7th Dragon was also fun until I got sick of killing dragons.
The real problem with both of these games is that planning your character builds is incredibly important, but there isn't a good way to figure out builds on your own inside the game without wasting tons of time respeccing and creating new characters on top of an already extremely long grind, so most people do the research online before they start playing, and just stealing someone else's build takes most of the fun and challenge out of it.


I broadly agree with this. Mechanically interesting turn-based RPGs exist (like Pokemon), but most are incredibly shallow and repetitive. I would not want to play a Final Fantasy ever again, so tedious.

It does and only after Anal Rodeo.

Seith gets fucking stale after you run it once along with Tomb of Giants, New londo is only good for farming chunks/slabs and the bed of chaos was a mistake. Gwyn is a fucking joke to the point where the devs didn't even bother to give him a cutscene (even Seath gets one) and also, there's no fucking reason why Black knights should only respawn there.

Got an early BK halberd? Congratulations you can kill every boss in 5 seconds, at SL 40; You killed every single burger king and couldn't get one? Remake your toon.

>I win

[Insert Dark Souls is Hard meme here]. But seriously the level design is some amazing shit.

I hate that level even more than Lost Izalith. Its gimmick is awful and the enemies suck. Then they reused it in the DLC, at least Lost Izalith knew when to stop.

Or literally any of the viable weapon types since there's so many to choose from.


Quelaag is pretty easy even if you don't use the cheesy kill methods. Plural.

what?

It's not the most boring game but I've been trying real hard and utterly failing to force my way through Digital Devil Saga.
I fought three tarasques in the span of five feet earlier today, I've probably killed at least 20 of the things since they were introduced as a miniboss in the last fucking dungeon, and none of them have been even remotely a challenge since the first one as is the case for basically every enemy in the game.

Almost every jrpg.
Fuck that shit.

There are many games similar to this, like FF13 and persona 4 but i played this first, so it gets the mention. Still can't believe there was going to be 6 fucking games of this shit.

I don't understand how people can dig for hours looking for shit in this game. I can understand the base building aspect, but the commie block motherfuckers have to find something appealing.

I think its more about collecting stuff to make new gear to fight the next boss. Building just happens to be a secondary activity in the game that is well fleshed out. Rarely do I just dig right down, i tend to follow caves and explore the generated underground.

This. I literally don't get it

It gets shilled by other autistic retards that think that "digging dirt for 5 hours/armor tiers for the autistic" constitute as gameplay and that it satisfies their buyer's remorse involving those pseudogames.

Seventh generation yearly sports games. They stopped having fun secrets, tons of easter eggs and optional gameplay modes. Now they're 100% focused on simulation and riddled with microtransactions.

This has to be the most retarded thing I've ever read here, which is really saying a lot.

But it's so deep, like, whoa, you could've just not play the game, y'know!

Facts don't care about your fee-fees.

Wew.

Gotta love people shitting on genres they don't play. Plus fighting enemies is the core of the gameplay, what's wrong with that.

My old English teacher would probably have a seizure after your post but shit is boring. And cancer writing aside I think the main fault is the whole openworld focus.

If your core of the gameplay is shallow and boring then something's wrong

Me and a friend tried to beat the game on expert. It was pretty fun advancing through all the different areas, picking up new tools, trying out different weapon types, and discovering cool shit like the glowing mushroom village, and that lizard temple in the middle of the jungle. Of course we stopped playing after we beat the final boss, but I can understand how it would be pretty boring if you just play it the same way you'd play minecraft.

Nigger if you went down a fucking checklist of JRPG cliches pokemon would tick off almost every single one of them

To this day, I couldn't play more than two hours of it if you had a gun to my head and a grenade in my mouth.

PlayStation Home.

...

In the same vein as Second Life, which is just as boring.
I just can't see the appeal. The porn maybe, but I've never felt like porn games were worth the effort.

i still don't understand why this game did so well.
it was designed to be a monotonous passport checking barely game, but people ate this shit up and i have no fucking idea why.

WH40k Space Marines was the worst game Ive ever played

not a single factor is fun or interesting

i managed to finish the first by some fucking miracle of patience and autism. second was too much for me and i dropped it a few hours into it.

also pic related was too fucking boring for me to finish either


it was short enough that it didnt overstay its welcome and being that minimal sparks imagination and makes the game seem grander than it is

you're favorite game >:3

Almost every retro indie puzzle platformer. There are actually retards out there who still eat that shit up.

On one hand I really liked it because I wasn't used to games that don't hold your hand all the time. On the other hand, I can completely understand people for thinking it's boring because of the horrible game design in certain parts of the game (that one forest and everything that came after Anor Londo), the fact that it doesn't tell a real story and just relies on "muh lore" (transalation: we can't come up with something original so the people who play it can come up with their own bullshit story) is also disappointing.

I like how people are confusing infuriating games with boring ones.
My vote goes to Pokemon ORAS. I was legitimately excited for it and looked forward to an expanded Hoenn experience and I did like XY. But at some point I just got bored of it and played other games instead. Maybe it was because Gen 3 was the time in my life that I was obsessed with Pokemon so going through it again (after doing it trice) was kinda meh. I had to force myself to finish the game, and the Delta Episode especially.

Yeah I was reading the wiki on it, looking at some weapon stats recently and clicked on some boss and read the lore and honestly I don't know where it's coming from. I talked to everyone I could talk to and there isn't lore anywhere. The plot is pretty fucking simplistic which is fine but I really want to know if I'm missing something or of people just make this shit up willy nilly

Easy mode:Any VN

Gone Homo and similar walking sims are also tied for most boring video games

As for more serious candidates that count as a video game i would say themepark MMORPGs in general
Early WoW was the worst because you have to sit every fight (or every second fight based on how geared you were for the area and class) It was not hard it was fucking boring

Gone Homo and clones were intended to be boring, so they doesn't count.

I could even say that they inaugurated "boring as art" genre.

I got banned becuase i said i think jrpgs are boring

This shithole really has become worse than cuckchan

...

I took me until pokemon crystal to realize I was playing the same fucking game just with new monsters that do the same shit as the old ones. That's when pokemon got boring.
Also anything classified as "sandbox" or "survival", fuck 'em.

You going for round 2?

Night in the Woods. Any walking simulator. Horizon: Zero Dawn. Breath of the Wild. Grand majority of indie games.

Hotpockets here are pretty retarded.

What makes you say that?
Was there anything wrong with what he said?

The tutorials do go on for that long, but I feel they integrated it well enough while making you learn that they aren't P3 and P4 in design. Hell, the action starts right off, it slows down just a bit, but you're right back in when you meet Ryuji and find Kamoshida's Palace.

Could it possibly be because Crystal is just a special edition of Silver/Gold? Dumbass.

Sure buddy

What's the best way to play the games? I know they were released on the PS1 but there's PSP versions, I heard they have different music and translations and I'm not even sure if P2's fully translated, it's frankly a mess, can you give me the run-down?

Maybe genderfluid terrain

...

It's relaxing before bed, nothing wrong with that

Why does anyone even like this slav piece of trash?

Nah, man. I haven't had a laugh like that in ages because it was so painfully obvious that the author didn't have the first fucking clue what it was like to be depressed, yet the shills on cuckchan kept telling me how stupid I was to say that since the author was a Ph.D. in psychology. My sides warped into another universe when I looked up Chelsea and found out that the closest she had ever come to a college was sucking the dicks of guys who had gone.

All women should seriously be killed tbh.

What boss? I might know

Any jrpg
It's always the same thing, same shitty turnbased combat, same shitty moeblob characters, same libtard propaganda story, same numale characters, etc
It doesnt surprise me that weebs defend that shit since their already racetraitors

How does FFT, Tales of, Secret of Mana/SD3 and Disgaea fit all those you named?

get out of here bait

Why would play more weebshit if I know their all the same?

Zeus Christ, what flaming, pungent pile of shit.

I can't wait for a piss-drinking weeb to defend this.

This is one of the few games that made me question what the hell was I doing with my time, no idea why it got that much popular

I'm gonna have to agree. I liked the metro games much, much more.

And fuck it, I'm gonna through Deus Ex in there too. That game aged like post-menopausal breast-milk. The levels are neat but the gameplay is dicks.

Keeping to AAA games that shouldn't have managed to be so bad I'd rather turn them off and sit in silence:
Vanilla Far Cry 2, depending on your tolerance for driving through samey african desert over and over.
Tomb Raider 2013
I'd have said either Kane and Lynch game but those are so bad they're enjoyable and anyway anything can be fun in coop.

CoD 1/UO and even ignoring them up to WaW the games aren't mind-numbingly boring (at least not on the first playthrough).

Nigger they aren't goblins, they're gretchin/grots. Yes, that's basically just goblins in space but still. The game does improve after the shitty start, it's worth pushing through until then particularly because of how much fun the jump pack is when it isn't out of fucking fuel or you end up in a corridor that's apparently 'too confined' to use it in. It still never gets above 6/10 and the final boss is terrible but it's just about average overall.

Those games were shit. Day of Crisis was the only good one.

I nominate Ass Creed 3.

Plot is a complete shit, gameplay is… stale to say the least (apart from naval battles - they're good), characters, especially the protagonist, are fucking bland as fuck. Ubi should've done the smart thing and let us play as the good guys - they even tease this in the opening chapter.

HERESY

That was one of the few 40K games that didn't suck.

Dawn of War 1 + expansions, Chaos Gate, Final Liberation, Squad Command, the original Space Hulk game, Exterminatus (a sourcemod rather than an official game) and perhaps the other old turn based games like Rites of War (I've not played them yet). Plenty of good 40k games.

It's amazing that DA:I managed to fuck up the old DA:O characters so bad in their appearances.

Dark souls 2, just you'll be sitting there going "Why the fuck am I doing this" slow boss fights, a delay in combat that lets me make coffee so I can stay awake. But its got good pvp.

All Bioware games are shit, NWN is their least shitty one due to module support.

If you don't have the extreme autism to grind for literally days, or the creativity to build things, or the intelligence to muck around with redstone, or friends to grief and troll, Minecraft is actually remarkably boring. There's just so little to do and much of it is just tedium to obtain the things that allow you to do more tedium to do other things. The game can be "beaten" in about 20 hours by a complete novice, and a good deal of that is just holding down a fucking mouse button for hours on end. Because of that, the actual "game" component is criminally boring.

I dont know what you're talking about nigga, FFIII is Great fun.

This entire thread is filled with bait, I wish someone actually gave a serious attempt at answering OPs question. It's pillars of eternity

Harvest Moon, all of them.

That's what you just said. Bonus points to the creativity thing considering its just legos

Guess you like linear shooters more, which makes your taste shit and everyone should ignore it.

Hearthstone. Easy.

I say this piece of shit. It's supposed to be curayzee but it ends up just being bland and fucking boring. I just couldn't do it and ended up quitting after a few hoursnof boredom.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: japanese bootleg

When I watched Leopirate's streams of this, I knew that RE was totally fucking dead. I don't care how juiced up you are on Wolverine-juice, getting shot in the head is going to take the spring out of your step, immediately. EVERYTHING is a bullet sponge. I am glad I never played it, and never will.

Warning: If absolutely everything seems boring to you, you may be experiencing clinical depression.
