Lol it's cool, we don't all have to agree. I'm curious, what are some games you do like?

The Assassins Creed series. It’s got all the things I love from the Uncharted and Tomb Raider games, I could just never get into it. Maybe I should have started from the beginning, I dunno. Arkham games were the same way, totally my preferred style of game and gameplay, but it just never grabbed me.
The original trilogy of AC games was my jam back in the day, very solid games, still a new concept at the time and not run into the ground. The story was super interesting too, lots of history imparted through the locale and story as well. If you haven't played AC Odyssey, its the only AC game in the last few years that I genuinely enjoyed. It takes a new approach on the assassin gameplay by interspersing it with some genuine Arkham-Knight-like combat. Its open world too so you kinda choose your battles and can choose to go in hot and fast or slow and sneaky, lots of greek references and even famous philosophers and leaders of the time so a fun history lesson here and there as well. Genuinely recommend you take a look if you haven't. I feel the same about the Arkham games though, Batman was never my favorite superhero anyhow

I can't stand pretty much any kind of shooter. Is that mostly because I suck? Probably, but I still don't like them.
What about games like Half Life or Metro? I don't like most mutiplayer shooters either, but storydriven singleplayer games can be great imo

That’s funny, I was thinking of finally picking up Cyberpunk since I’m winding down on tears of the kingdom. I’ll still give it a shot but if it’s like Witcher 3 I don’t think I will enjoy it.

All those Telltale episodic games, like The wolf among us and The Walking Dead. It's so boring and slow that it makes me both extremely mad and uncomfortable.
The latest PlayStation games like The Last of US and God of War. Story is fine, graphics are nice but damn is the gameplay loop boring and easy. I don't care for 'press forward for story into arena fight and back again to press forward for story.
They are great casual games, almost visual novel like, but they don't really offer anything in challenges or deep mechanics.
I hate the Persona franchise. I don't like the playstyle at all. It felt very uncomfortable to me.
For me it's the GTA games since San Andreas and Red Dead Redemption 2.
I still try GTA V and RDR2 once in a while as I love the worlds in those games. But they always feel grindy really fast and just don't manage to hold my attention. A shame, as RDR2 looks gorgeous and I love the western setting, but the gameplay just doesn't connect with me.
Also doesn't help that each time I want to try picking GTA V or RDR2 up again I end up starting from scratch as I have no idea what the control scheme was. Another thing that just doesn't resonate with me I guess. Perhaps its better with a controller, but as an avoid mouse & keyboard guy all my attempts to use one ended with utter frustration.
For me, GTA has always been like "I can play the story and get a car as a reward, or I can just steal a car". So I always start to steal my way up, until the cops become too powerful. Then it turns into a senseless shootout and once I'm dead, the game is done for me.
It's fun for an hour or so, and that's that then.

Super Smash Bros (every incarnation). Never got the hype
I think it's that Ssb is a Tekken/Street Fighter-type game for people who grew up in the nintendoverse 😊 I don't own Smash Bros but will play if i link-up with friends who do & wish to play.
I personally like: the colours; the fact it's "clean" and PG; the music (it's arcade fun!) ; the characters ive grown up with & others from games i never played but now make me curious.
As a concrete example, i never rly knew much about Starfox or Metroid but when I played smash bros with my friends who used fox & falco or Samus Aran they looked fun. It didn't lead to much but I did end up learning more about their respective games.
Ditto goes for Shiek from Zelda & that numbers guy Mr Game & Watch 🤣😭 The memories !!
ftr I like Kirby 🙈🌻
Had u already considered this or has my text helped? 😄 Have a good day :)
