Boring video games

You probably don't even remember this one because of how boring it is.

What bores you about it in particular?

I used to enjoy HM more, but since I started playing Rune Factory games, HM seems kind of hard to enjoy playing now.

Mostly personal taste, i usually like resource managment games like SimCity or Transport Tycoon, but managing a farm isn't one of the most exciting subject matters for a videogame to be honest, also until a couple years ago i didn't played too many RPGs at all, specialy JRPGs, so i wasn't a huge fan of the genere to begin with, maybe i should give the series another try, but as it is now they don't seem to be very engaging and/or interesting to me at all.

In all fairness, the games do get repetitive after a while, and the farming aspect is actually my least favorite part. I like Harvest Moon for the characters, and also because I find it really relaxing. But after you get married and have a kid, it kinda goes downhill.
 
Phantasy Star III, mostly because it's just wandering around, being confused, and wasting hour after hour trying to figure things out.

Madden. It's not that I dislike sports games (I am rather fond of NHL and FIFA), but I can't play any Madden game for more than an hour or so without getting real damn bored.
 
I have legit put in over 5 hours this week of Virtual fucking Pool 4. I'm not even good at it, but the Snooker table keeps calling my name.

Waiting on a new mouse though. Current one died and I'm using a shitty dell optical. Passable for shooty games but absolute garbage for controlling a cuestick.
 
There's this cinematic platformer for psp called Exit. Exit is probably the slowest, clunkiest game I've ever played. It has almost everything else going for it, but Exit was so horrible to control it ruined the entire game. Even by cinematic platformer standards, Exit feels like controlling a snail.

I played Grim Fandango remastered awhile back and holy fuck it hasn't aged well. Graphic wise its still nice to look at but control and story wise it's garbage and boring. It's worse than me mums tela novelas
 
Every Call of Duty game made after 2008.

Great example for why you shouldn't overdo the animations in platform games, it just becomes a slow, unresponsive mess.
 
Most walking simulators are boring; even if one likes the story, the gameplay lacks substance and most of them try to be spooky and incorporate jump scares but they're still tedious and bland at their core. The Park, Dear Esther, Gone Home, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture etc. are really just audio diaries where you feel a sense of progression and "interaction" by picking up "collectibles" or walking forward while someone complains at you about feelings for X amount of time.

Subjectively, one game I wish wasn't boring but turned out to be just that was Murdered: Soul Suspect. It could've been an entertaining detective game but everything about it is just blase; the characters and setting aren't interesting, the gameplay is slow, the "combat" sections suck and the game patronizes you when you're trying to solve clues by making the answers the most obvious and simple ones available. Thanks, game, I had no idea that by being at the crime scene for a murder investigation, it meant someone died.
