Folks who read my obscure games post know I go on spiels too much; though this topic was made just to make an observation and see if anyone else has felt the same way about certain games.
To start or to ask, does anyone think that any of the newer games from any platform, whether they be on the Xbox, PS4 or PS5 or even good old fashion PC; any game that has perfected something becomes too boring to play?
I sort of have 1 if not 2 examples of just the game's I have somewhat of an observation that I have given some notice. Well, games as a gamer that I either cringe at the though of playing with or don't feel like playing anymore because they just got somewhat boring.
Ratchet & Clank 2016.
If you've played the iconic duo until the game Disk's have scratches from over use over the laser of you still functioning PS2 and backwards compatible PS3 with the trilogy remaster for that same console AND for the PS vita until the contacts on the latter cartridge has bent outta shape from how OFTEN I've played the classic's of the two; you could call me a nerd or geek for the two. The reviewers and folks among all the games keep complaining that in the older titles, aliens and creatures feel more like bullet sponges when the difficulty is upped and they found it a bore to just blow things up for the sake of blowing sh*t up.
The first game, I have to strongly disagree with as combat felt more like a puzzle where you needed to use your weapons and gadget's to your advantage in a wide variety of situations. When it comes to Deadlocked, Up Your Arsenal and Going Commando; I do agree with them to certain 'extents' as the bullet sponge was never really a big problem for me as I found it all entertaining all the same as the game went from it's roots wehre you had to think before you approached a fight to just being a twitchy run and gun... Which, all the same, I still enjoyed playing; especially the insomniac museums where the museums in the PS2 Era we're actually fun to locate and enjoy with the different cut content they shoved onto the game disk to be looked over and enjoyed.
THEN when we arrive at the 2016 copy of R & C, the enemies have the right about of hit points where they don't feel like bullet sponges, the character's are on par for an HD textured game, jumping feels right, fighting feels spot on and right everything feels about as perfect as it can get with the exception of the story... Ratchet's motivation to leave Veldin was terrible and Hollywood shoe-horning in him wanting to be a Space Ranger didn't really play to his character.... and after I 100% the thing, I dumped it to the side of the road and started playing the PS2 copies again, followed by the PS3 games, especially the Co-Op focused one where I can't find 3 other players on the PS3 to help me finish it. The 2016 became the most boring version of R & C and kinda felt like a total let down. I still haven't touch or played the thing since, especially since the museum was also a let down; as the previous ones included cut content and insane ideas that while not fleshed out, we're there for the player to fool around with and enjoy.
Kingdom Heart's 3
This one feels too easy and If you haven't played it yet; just read this much as I want to spare you and your wallet from this terrible entry.
There's no coliseum, Combat is more flashy and lights + slot machine tactic's. Disney want's you to go to Disney World based on the New RIDE summons to try and entice you to spend a $3k vacation package to just GO there. Flow Motion implementation, while interesting and fleshed out in the 3DS is terrible in this installment and breaks up t he action and Traversal... In fact, the whole game feels like an annoying Youtube ad that won't go away...
At least in the first Kingdom Hearts, you had to strategize your combat and who to take out or fight and what to use, etc. Kingdom Hearts 2 felt like it was aiming to be more flashier, but kept SOME elements from the first.... Everything else approaching KH 3 was a disappointment.
Though I think I'm getting off topic.
Does anyone have a game that should technically be PERFECT or UP TO DATE in terms of mechanics and what not t hat you didn't want to play it anymore after 15 minutes in?... Or play it again after beating it?
