What's a really popular game franchise you just can't get into?
I'll start. pokemon. doesn't matter if the game's old or new I just can't get into how it plays. idk the gameplay just gets old to me pretty quickly, palworld is an upgrade in every way tbh

The Witcher. I really want to like it. It seems like the kind of game I would love and I recognize that it’s an objectively well made game. However, I’ve bounced off it at least 4 times after getting 1-4 hours in.
i feel exactly the same about it, this seems like a thing. and i played the second one.
i wonder if it would be easier to get into it if i fixed the controls like people hinted at in this thread.
If you're talking about bouncing of the first one, that's completely understandable. It is absolutely not an objectively well made game, and I will die on that hill. Witcher 2 does hold up well enough though, in my opinion, and is a much better place to start. Just watch a summary video of the first one and avoid a bunch of antiquated jank.
Same actually, I got Witcher 3 as part of a console bundle and played it for a short period, not sure exactly how long but I got to the first of I'm sure many fights with a dragon. Found it really unintuitive, by the time I got frustrated enough to bother doing a web search I'd lost interest. Tried a couple of times after and just got the cbf's every time.
Same. I tried 3 times to get into Witcher 3. No success.
Doesn't matter, there's tons of other fun stuff out there.
Thank God, I am not alone. I thought something was wrong with me for having exactly your experience.
There's are dozens of us
I had to push very hard to get through the clunky controls but I do admit it was worth it eventually.
Me too. The control scheme is just awful.
My personal theory is that a lot of the love for The Witcher 3 in particular stems from the fact that very early on it has a sex scene with full nudity, with a female character who is supernaturally hot according to the lore. There's several women Geralt can seduce, and I suspect a lot of people who mostly play hentai games were in shock to play something with more exciting gameplay than match-3 grids or a jigsaw puzzle.
The Witcher 3 doesn't seem like a bad game, but I'm similar to you in that I've bounced off it a couple times after a few hours. There's nothing particularly bad about it, but nothing that really grabbed me and made me want to keep playing more either. I still plan on giving it another shot eventually.
