Boring video games

[Quijibo69]

I just played one and it was called Ether One. It's about being some boring 69 year old lady with dementia from the UK that dreams and picks up stuff. You're mostly moving around shit, Really no puzzles at all! Why does it have a high score on Steam?

I'm glad I got it free on ps+ and I'm glad I didn't buy it on Steam years ago.

The Graveyard is pretty damn retarded, and when the old lady dies it's pretty funny

 

[Chris-Chan Cure]

Desert Bus. That's all.

Desert Bus. That's all.

Crazy Bus for the Mega Drive/Genesis is a million times more boring.

Dark Seed.

I love Alien and Giger in general, but I'd rather play Phantasmagoria tbh.

The sequel, from what I saw on Retsupurae, was absolutely hilarious. Probably unintentional, but hilarious all the same.

Anyway, for me that would probably be Minecraft. I can see the appeal and all, but I got tired of it really quickly for some reason.

That game is so goddamned fucked up

I wouldn't really call it boring though but it really comes across like someone who was extremely paranoid designed it. Plus it was full of so many Twin Peaks references.

The biggest downsides to Dark Seed is stuff like the time limit. Which prevents you from really exploring the town and makes the game more like trial and error till you find out how to do all of the puzzles and start over and try to speed run the game.

I think it's just the overall pacing that makes my mind wander. The dark world parts are cool, but before that there are only bits of unsettling imagery. The art in the game is beautiful. Then again, H R Giger was a genius in the surreal art field, and always produced mind boggling, visceral material.

I guess technically Phantasmagoria is boring too because of all the running about, but it has a great atmosphere and a slow burning story, so it keeps my interest a bit more.

Dark Seed came off as more than just it's aesthetics.

The premise of the game is the player is a guy who has a creepy as shit dream about aliens putting something in his brain. And then he regularly talks about how he feels pain in his head. And all of the towns people come across like they're totally in on the whole alien thing. And you have to beat the game before an alien burrows out of your skull.

It really does come across like someone who was crazy paranoid on medication wrote the plot of the game. It's actually why I played through Dark Seed a few years ago.

TONS of point-and-click games on Flash. Maybe I'm just not the point-and-click kinda guy, but some are definitely better than others.

 

[Petronella]

I might get some flak for this, but while I enjoy the atmosphere and lore of Five Nights at Freddy's, I find the actual gameplay kind of boring. You basically just click on the same three things over and over.

Xenosaga Ep.2:
This is the only game I almost fell asleep. The gameplay was worse then the first game. The whole game feels like a step down especially since Namco kicked out the original director/writer of the first game due to money reasons. They tried to make it more appealing to people, but it ended up killing the six part series stopping at the third game instead.

Phantasy Star Portable:
I enjoyed both Online 1 and 2 so when I saw that there was a PSP game through different side series. I thought it be awesome. The game does has some nice things like being really customizable, and you could switch to six weapons. The gameplay felt really boring. It's the lack of variety of areas, missions, and enemies that killed it for me. At least PSO has this feel to it that kept you going back to it, in Portable. It was very boring.

I also mention Minecraft since I can care less about the survival mode. I can't get into it for the life of me. Through to be honest, creative mode was awesome. I had more fun in that when I did with the rest of game.

Euro Truck Simulator 2.

But for some reason I can't stop fucking playing it.

Dark Souls 2

I was just about to ask why you found it boring, until I remembered that the base game has boring level design and inconsistent PvE.
Such a shame, I really loved the combat of that game. It was really fun to PvP, but they fucked up with the Soul Memory shit. At least all of the DLC was excellent both with lore, level design, and PvE (minus Ivory King's blizzard area and 2KATZ)

Me neither. Even on my 6 year old laptop with the graphics down low. It's boring in a perfectly pleasant way. It's just you, the radio, the traffic and whatever trailer you've got attached to your truck. If you're the kind of sperg that has a racing wheel and pedals I imagine that would only add to the fun. Simulation games like ETS2 and FS-X would be amazing with a powerful computer and an oculus rift headset.

 

[Randall Fragg]

Desert Bus. That's all.

Yeah, but that was intentionally boring. It was designed to be the absolute most unplayable, boring, and stupid video game ever produced.
The bench mark for a really horrible video game is to ask yourself "would I rather be playing Desert Bus than the game I'm playing now?"

 

[Surtur]

Half the games released these days.

 

[Van Darkholme]

I can't stand any of the Monster Hunter games.

I don't count Gone Home as a real game.
