This post came to mind after I played the new MW3 campaign. For me personally it has to be Wolfenstein: Youngblood. That game was a complete disappointment compared to the rest of the new Wolfenstein games. The only reason I ended up finishing the game was because my friend and I were playing it together and decided to tough it out and see the end of the story. Gears of War: Judgement is another dishonorable mention. A game that I did not like at all, but continued to finish it solely because I had played every other game in the series so far.
Pokemon Sword. I wouldn’t call it bad though. I 100%ed the Pokedex both in game and in the two DLCs. It took playing Scarlet for two hours to realise that I don’t like Pokemon.
OH SHIT it’s this one for me too, i have a lovehate relationship with it because there were moments i was genuinely invested and having fun, but i cannot remember a single battle in that game outside of the legendary dynamax raids in the dlc. what i do remember is the shallow joke for “towns” this game had. and the good drip for your characters, unfortunately removed in scarlet and violet in an act of barbarism.
scarlet and violet would be next, then. and legends arceus. you have some genuinely fun gameplay changes and story elements, wrapped in the literal most poorly coded game in nintendo history. like, it makes generation 1’s code look good.
