Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

Pretty much all the new AAA games. Kind of lost interested the moment games stopped being innovative. It's nice to have super dooper realistic looking game and millions of small details but I still haven't seen a game that would really improve on the game play in the last 20 years. They are still full of simple rules and mechanics. For example, 20 years ago it was common to have the "enemy spotted you but just hide and don't move for 3 seconds and they will move on" rule in games and it pisses me off when new AAA games do it. Modern games are full of this shit. "If you do A in situation B, C will happen". Just learn the rules and beat the game. There are more rules, more details, animations are nicer but I still find it boring. It's still just a bunch of fixed rules, NPCs still move like robots, you can still see the algorithms behind everything. I prefer to play an small indie game that actually tries something new than AAA game that tries to build 'realistic' world and fails at it.

I agree. I can always see through the mechanics of a game and usually break the economy too and I'm rich beyond belief usually.

As a patientgamer it's against my religion to buy at game this early for such a high price.
