Topic: Games you used to like

I remember playing Borderlands 2 back in the day and I enjoyed it quite a lot, even did all the expansions. But I wasn't all that keen on to play the Pre sequel but then I played TellTale's Tales from the Borderlands and enjoyed it so much it made me want to get the PS4 collection but while playing the Pre sequel I found myself not enjoying it at all and finding it all a bit of a grind even though it's pretty much the same as Borderlands 2. I suppose I got so invested in the TellTale game that I kinda wanted more even though it was a completely different type of game. Now I have no interest in Borderlands 3 at all, granted it's not helped by Gearbox's recent practices and certain people at that studio cough Randy Pitchford cough. So I wonder if you yourself had a game you liked but in retrospect have changed you mind.

Mass Effect as in all 3 Mass Effect games, i tried going back to them when they were added to the XB1 BC list and i just couldn't get trough any of them, they were just boring

and i used to love the games too, it's strange

@adf86 To be fair The Presequel is not a.good game to judge the Borderlands series on. Your best bet is to go back to BL2 or just wait till 3 comes out.

That topic title could do with an edit, double negative, doesn't make sense.

Back on topic. Used to enjoy Assassin's Creed & Far Cry 3. Now those games bore me to tears. Also enjoyed Cod MW2. Borrowed the next Cod and hated it. Generally more into indie games these days.

Shadow of colossus love it on ps2 but couldn't get into it lately.

Scaler.

Loved that game, but it's not exactly performing gracefully on PS2 and its the most inspired thing ever. Certainly unique but somewhat derivative.

@LieutenantFatman yeah lol wut

@Tasuki I forgot to mention in my original post that I thought about going back to Borderlands 2 with a new character but the thought of starting from the beginning felt like a chore which wasn't a good sign for me.

@adf86 It might be that you just need the third one to be released more then you being tired of the series. That's kind of whereI stand with the series now. I still love the series but the thought of going through 2 again......

I guess for me, two games come to mind. The Assassin’s Creed series and racing games, namely Gran Turismo. Despite playing AC ad nauseam through 4 games, by the time I played Black Flag I just couldn’t do it anymore. I bought Origins on sale and have not been excited enough to start it though. I think I might like it if/when I pull it out of my backlog, but the series had fallen so far that I have trouble getting over that and regaining any excitement for the franchise.
I played a tonne of Gran Turismo at one point through 3, 4, and 5. Despite pouring hundreds of hours and really enjoying it and a few other racing games, I burned out on not only GT but all racing. I tried Drive Club and just couldn’t muster any excitement for the genre. A friend even gave me his lightly used steering wheel accessory for PS4 since he got a new one. The wheel is nice and worth about $100, but I’ve never so much as hooked it up I’m embarrassed to say. I’ve seen GT sport on sale and it just hasn’t even tempted me to get into the genre again and I don’t know if I ever will.

The one that springs to mind is Battlefield. Pumped 100+ hours into each of the previous games but Battlefield 1 didn't click with me. Most likely cos I'm not so keen on the historical settings.

Literally Hundreds; Everything on the Atari 2600 - the arcade counterparts are always better and Most 8 bit games on home computers.

The game I really struggle with is Metal Gear Solid 3. An amazing game, sublime. But the cumbersome controls and prolonged conversations on static screens really suck out the enjoyment.

(TBF Ive played through the game 4 or 5 times)

This is an odd pick, but I really liked Sonic Heroes when I was younger. It was my first 3D Sonic game, and I thought it was fun to play back then. Nowadays I can see why plenty don't really like it. The control is painfully jittery, the stages can drag, and they will if you're Team Dark or Chaotix, you have to beat it 4 times and get the emeralds for the last story, which feels repetitive, and the special stages are the absolute worst in any Sonic I've played. Imagine the Sonic 2 half pipe and make it worse.

Nowadays I think Sonic Heroes was a game that didn't live up to it's potential. I thought it was close to bringing the Genesis feel to 3D.
