2 picks for me: Stardew Valley, most boring shit ever, I don’t see the appeal, seriously how the hell did that thing sold 20 million copies?
And Witcher 3, I own that game since 2019 and I regret buying it, funny thing is that I’ve finished Dragon Age 1 and 2, which are kinda same genre but I actually enjoyed those games. I guess the old BioWare sauce carried those games unlike Witcher where there’s nothing to enjoy in its massive pointless world.
My first Mario Game was Super Mario World, as such I don’t understand why Mario 1 and 3 are so beloved. Groundbreaking they might be, fun they are not.
Any time I got the Mario All Stars Cartridge out and said to myself “I am completing Mario 3 today”, after a while my mind went “or I could actually enjoy a round of Mario World” and did that instead.
I share your sentiment; but you need to remember that SM1&3 were both originally NES games, and even the All Stars remakes are largely hampered by the original consoles limitations.
That’s why both SMW and Yoshi’s Island are such better experiences overall, they didn’t have to emulate those same limitations in order to preserve an original playstyle.
I know that, what made you think I forgot?
It’s just not fun to me, yet online people describe Mario 3 as “the best 2d Mario” and “one I could always come back to”. This has nothing to do with the NES’ limitations, it’s a difference in taste.
