Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun? (kbin.cafe)

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

I only logged about 3-4 hours in that game and only encountered 2 battles. The story up to that point put me off too before it even picked up stream, like a classic "prince ascending to throne and hey here's your betrothed future queen who you don't quite get along with, oh hey bandits" Maybe my expectations were too high with the hype the story was getting. The dialog is so drab, it's a chore to click through.

I just wanted to play a modernized FF Tactics, but I couldn't even find the game within triangle strat.

I had also got FF7 crisis core reunion shortly before that. I put too many hours into that expecting it to evolve but the gameplay is nothing more than a grind in featureless terrain that you only have the option of fast-traveling to.

Then I realized this was my first time to play squeenix. I was expecting squaresoft.

I won't get another squeenix game.

This was EXACTLY my experience.

I'm currently playing Mercenaries Blaze. It's very similar to FFT, but heavy on combat and light on stories. Between each fight there is a 2-5 minute cut scene to push the story forward, but nothing ridiculous. The game has some balance issues, but if the main story quests are too difficulty, you can run a few training missions and level up and get caught up in no time.

Good to see some player opinions on Triangle Strategy. I've had the game on my Switch wishlist forever, hoping to snag it if it ever went on sale or I cleared some of my backlog. Now I'm not even sure I want it if it doesn't come close to the greatness of FF Tactics.

Yeah I'd say skip it and check one of the other recommendations in this thread instead.
