Good input. Yes doctor who is very divisive, either you like it or not.

However it's always pronounced doctor. Never Dr. Fight me, lol.

Fair. I loved breaking bad mostly because of how well it balanced crime and personal life of Walter white. But he's a horrible person, so are most characters, cause it's a crime thriller. It's just I could overlook that part cause story kept me engaged enough.

Assassin's creed. I was okayish game, till I downloaded Hades, and I completely forgot it even existed on my pc.

The first one in the series? Yeah, it’s cool for being one of the first open world games but it gets very repetitive. I quit partway through and tried AC2, and that was a big leap forward in gameplay, story, and missions. I recommend giving it a try if you liked anything about the first.

Just watched it for the first time recently and while I thought it was good it had the problem a lot of male writers/directors have of writing really flat female characters. All of the women only existed for the men to have feelings about or to motivate the men by their death/suffering. Just kinda ruined the movie for me.

I hate Dark Souls 3. It was just so boring to me.

I enjoyed the exploration: you can't just run through the game since death is around every corner, which made it exiting and rarely that frustrating.

But most Bosses where just so boring. You learn them once, and your reward is that you can actually play the good part of the game again. If I look at something like Monster Hunter, learning the Monster gives you a faster clear time, which makes farming easier and is satisfying that way. Learning a boss in DS reminded me when I was about to quit geometry dash - I just feel my time has been wasted.

There are a lot of cool builds! And you will probably only play one each playthrough, because leveling unlocks a playstyle, but levels get VERY expensive (and I don't think you can undo levels), so at some point you stop experimenting and just go with what you where already playing the last 20h.

These points made it hard for me to focus on the amazing parts of the game. The atmosphere, the combat and, as mentioned, exploration.

"If you hate it so much, why bother playing through it?": after beating abyss watchers, I said to my DS Friend that I don't like this game. He said "Get Good" so I did. It's still just not a fun game (for me)

I ended up simply running out of cards three times I tried to play.

Not a huge fan of Gwent myself, but that's basically the point of the game. The path to victory is using your cards carefully, and to collect more from around the world to have good ones so you need to play fewer to win a round.

Also, I found that the best way to win is to intentionally lose a round while making the opponent waste as many cards as possible on that.

Any specific reason? I'm curious about it as I enjoyed it enormously

FF9 will always have a place in my heart. I played it on the PS1 as a kid, on an emulator for PC as a teenager and the Steam version + Moguri Mod as an adult

I tried the first one (likely years after it was released) but didn't enjoy it at all

I never got hooked on Breaking Bad. I liked it looking back but at the time I had to make myself watch it where as with actually good series I need to stop myself from binging multiple episodes a day.

If a likeable main character is a requirement then it's no surprise Breaking Bad doesn't appeal to you, and that's fair.

I must point out one thing though.

I understand there's probably something to it, maybe the drama is interesting, maybe it's really well acted, maybe the sets are beautiful

You seem to assume Breaking Bad is loved by many people in spite of its flawed main character, but I'd argue that's one of the main reasons for its success. Shows that do an interesting exploration of a "villain" are not that common and, even rarer than that, Breaking Bad pulls off the rare stunt of having the main character of a multi-season series evolve and change dramatically over time.

So yeah, I get that disliking Walter White being a turn off for you, but for many that character and his story is precisely why they love the series.

After years of hearing about How I Met Your Mother and seeing memes and clips everywhere I finally decided to give it a go. I'm not sure I even lasted more than one episode. It's been a while but I remember it not as something that didn't click with me, but a comedy I immediately disliked

Misommar was meh. Yes, it had a new and unusual aesthetic for a horror movie, but that's about it. Cults prey on the weak and traumatized, we get it. I don't remember there being much of a plot, just weirdness and violence for sake of weirdness and violence.

But then the bigger issue is all the ignorant people who start associating flower crowns and Nordic (and even Slavic) traditions with "just like Midsommar!!". Same happened with Kazakhstan (" very naice!") and Eastern Europe (after "Hostel")

I found it slow and simply rather uninteresting. I just couldn't engage with any of the characters.

There are some successes, but they almost always immediately become overshadowed by some new, larger problem. While I personally enjoyed how obstacles were overcome, it is exhausting to watch a constant downward spiral.

An Officer And A Gentleman. Two-hour infomercial for trad.

It's A Wonderful Life. I'm just over it.

Same here.

The puzzles were the best part for me, and are undeniably good. I did do a deep dive into the settings too when I started to get frustrated and those options were key.

Nier Automata. The writing is so incredibly self-defeating.

Opening: “Oh no, a disaster. Everyone I care about could die. I wonder how I can prevent it.”

I might’ve gotten unlucky and been fed a series of episodes that were intensely related to characters developments.

More than once the Doctor was put in a spot that seemed to require an ingenious solution, and instead he banks on reputation or contacts to asspull himself from Daleks or whoever else it is that time.

Very fair and informative. Thank you for your post. 👍

Could never get into Seinfeld or Fraiser.

I remember loving the first game when it released. When the second came out I knew there would never be a reason to go back to the first lol. The unskippable cutscenes makes it feel like an interactive movie. It felt groundbreaking at the time though

I recently got into Curb Your Enthusiasm and it made me realize just how bad Seinfeld is. Not the show, but the guy. He's a terrible actor. The character isn't too bad, but next to the rest of the cast he stands out like a sore thumb. It's funny the show is named after him, because I think it would be better without him in it.

He's a pedophile too, just all around undeserved reputation.

I know!

Yes, it had a new and unusual aesthetic for a horror movie, but that's about it.

For me that was enough. I think it's fine for a movie to focus on doing one thing really well. Midsommar was memorable precisely because of it's novel aesthetic, and the world created around it.

Thanks for the breakdown, and suggestions. If i ever do pick it up it'll probably be 7, like you said.

My pleasure.

Yeah I binged the first season, said "this is the best show I've ever seen but I get it and now I'm sad" and never watched again. Same deal with Better Call Saul, actually.

kripke was the showrunner from 1-5, not that surprising. but season 6-15 was dabbs and the other guy, and they just wrote fanfiction/gay, whatever the audience were fetishizing about the cast. 6,8,11 were decent though, but the rest were just filler, and trying to shoehorn the "jack" character in the show was very telling, having an archnephilim/nephilim was interesting plot though. the show was heavily criticize how they marginalized "pagan" gods though.

especially what seinfeld is for a while. his co-stars were definitely the better actors.

and zionist, that loves to call people woke for not liking his jokes. it was pretty cringe when spoke at his daughthers graduation ceremony at dartmouth.

nutrek is the most terrible of trek, im too young for TOS, which i could never the hang of. kurtzman practically ruined the franchise+ paramount executives. i dont find SNW good either, something just doesnt fit right with the actors, writing, and acting.

i could not stand the sgu 1st season it was so boring, doomed the whole franchise. only a few episodes in the second half the season were interesting.
