What games will you never play again?

+1 for finding RDR2 boring. I kept feeling guilty for not putting in the time when the internet said its such an amazing game.

Sounds like the PS4 / PS5 to me. I get a ton out of my Switch but find PS consoles dull.

Some games are just better on a specific platform. I bought GTA5 for PC before GTA6 comes out and I didn't enjoy it as much as on my PS3 which I gave away when getting a PS4.
I need to try a controller on that still as the keyboard/mouse doesn't work for me.
Doom on the other hand I have on both PS4 and PC and both are great.

It might also just be time, when you only have a few hours here and there with enough energy to do some gaming and you end up with a game like RDR2 its not great having to grind through it like that.
 
HL2, the last few times I attempted to play it I got extremely motion sick, never finished the game
 
Microsoft Flight Simulator. The last version I enjoyed was MSFS 2004: A Century of Flight. I had tons of add-ins, scenery enhancements, additional aircraft, customised AI air traffic, etc. The default install eventually expanded up to around 60 GB with all of the extras.

I ran it with Windows XP on an Intel Core2 Duo 2.0 GHz CPU PC with 4 GB RAM, an Nvidia 1GB graphics card & a 160 GB SATA HDD.

Performance was reasonable & I enjoyed creating flight plans & flying different aircraft on varying routes.

Fast forward two decades on, and if you want to use MSFS 2020 or 2024 (the 2 newest versions), you need a gaming rig PC with super-computing hardware specifications, & a high-speed fibre Internet connection, to be able to play it effectively.

This puts it out of the realm of the budget of most armchair aviators, and only dedicated aviation enthusiasts with VERY deep pockets can now play it to its full capabilities.

Maybe one day if I win the Lotto, I can then afford to play MSFS again... ;)

Not by choice, but I don't think I will ever get to play Half-life again. Very sad...

I vividly recall the first (and last) time I played that game:

My nephew was raving about it, and whilst staying here one weekend, brought the game along.

So I installed it on my PC, and started playing. Soon thereafter I (my character) entered a room, and hearing a strange sound
I turned my character around. Something jumped onto me (it). I got such a fright that I immediately exited the game right there - and never played it again!

(FTR: I suffer from extreme arachnophobia)

It's funny, I've seen a few modern games where they have a option to minimize or turn off spiders in-game for arachnophobes.

Meanwhile here I am being a total bitch whenever I see a snake in any game. Which sucks because Metal Gear Solid 3 is my favorite in the franchise and I know the remake will make those f**kers more realistic.

Only game that has ever given me extreme motion sickness was the old Duke Nukem. And that was because the game didn't have a crosshair in the center of the screen.

So another game I will never play again. Need at least a tiny little dot on the screen to prevent motion sickness.

Can't image never playing HL2 ever again. One of the best games and by far my favourite shooter. No idea why it would make someone sick :(

Big, boring open world where everything you do is super repetitive.

But hey, you might like it, we're all different. I want to try RDR2 though. Looks much better.

So no oblivion remaster then?
 
I love taking old classics for a spin, and have replayed a lot of very old games. However, there is a bit of a wall when it comes to the pre-mouse era games where you not only had mouse navigation but also had to type in everything. Like Quest for Glory II. Tried once or twice and gave up quick.

Love the series. Luckily there is the old QfGII vga remake where you don't have to type everything.

Lol, I finally have a gaming rig capable but still haven't got the latest. I have 2004 on CD's and contemplating just buying a usb cd drive to play it.

That's actually one of the most boring games I've ever played. Played it not long ago.

What game will I never play again? Red Dead Redemption. :p

Thought I was the only one who found RDR boring. Travelling between towns slowly on horse with nothing to do :sleep:

I still have my PC with FS2004 as well - I disconnected the 160 GB HDD and now have a 1 TB HDD running an 'unsupported' version of Windows 11 Enterprise on it...
