Torment If you could unplay an RPG, what would it be?

Any Owlcat game. Absolute degenerate shit.

 

[Arbiter]

Probably one of those modern open world games, like AC: Odyssey. Soooo much wasted time, even long after it stopped being fun. Dunno why I finished it.

I believe it was designed to be huge because of the success of Witcher 3. Later AC games are said to be smaller, but I have not played anything after Oddysey.

For the most part, I don't really regret time I've spent with bad games. In the case of something like Fallout 3, I'd always feel curious about just how bad it could be, if I hadn't played it through.

The only bad game where I feel like I got absolutely nothing out of it, and it only wasted my time, was KotOR 2.

Pathfinder Kingmaker

Stupid kingdom management and dumb card games

Was it due to buginess of the original release or did you find the content boring?

The content is shit.

Think how much time we all could save by not posting on internet forums.

I believe Free Will does not exist, everything is predetermined, as such i don't regret anything, because there was never an alternative to begin with it.

The 'mistakes' from the past are built knowledge so to you avoid repeating it again, for example, i learned the hard way that i should never cook while sleepy. I also learned after 5k hours that League of Legends is shit, as such, it was permanently deleted from my PC 3 years ago.

Maybe, but not by much. Valhalla really follows the same concept. Too much repetitive content.

Skyrim and Arcania. I brute forced myself to the end, after I passed 20 hours on each hoping it would be better. Spoiler alert: it didn't get better.

 

[KörangarTheMighty]

Inquisitor.

An insidious game that lures you deeper and deeper into depravity with an atmosphere superficially resembling Diablo 1 only to stick a shiv in your back far into Act 2 after enduring endless walls of repetitive text and giant boring dungeons with nary a town portal spell to be found. Isolated and alone, you come to realize that past the first act the plot just repeats itself over and over but utterly parched, you drink deeply from the well of sunken cost and soldier on. Don't do it friends, have no illusions about it.

 

[Abu Antar]

In reality? None.

Theoretically? Demon's Age. It took assets from Chaos Chronicles, and made one of the shittiest rpgs I have ever played.

 

[processdaemon]

I don't think I regret any of the RPGs I've played, even the bad ones. The closest would be warning my past self not to buy Pentiment assuming it was an RPG without reading anything about it so I could avoid spending the next 15 hours getting gradually more and more butthurt that it clearly wasn't.

Final Fantasy 14 A Realm Reborn+Heavensward free trial. It does not in fact "get better after 150-200 hours".

Pathfinder: Kingmaker is the only game I have ever truly hated. Felt like it was purposefully designed to waste player's time - everything was slow and sticky, there was lots of going back and forth and kingdom management got in the way of adventuring. I loathed the companions and how the game pushed them. All that and lots of smaller annoyances made it a plain terrible experience. I quit somewhere in chapter two. Then someone convinced me to get the dungeon DLC so I could focus on character builds and combat, but it was just more money and time wasted... There was not a single thing I liked about the game. Even with games I dislike I usually keep the installers on a backup disk, but not in this case. Deleted all files, including screenshots, and am never touching that piece of shit again. I very much regret backing it and I wish I'd never even heard of it.

Of the games I completed, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is one I wish I hadn't played at all. Huge disappointment after the first one and it just kept getting worse as it progressed. Lost interest in Larian after that slog.

In no order:
DA Inquisition
PF Kingmaker
Red Dead 2. It's good with mods up until Lemoyne, but everything in it and after it wrecks the entire game.

 

[Sacibengala]

Kingdom Hearts. Disgusting game. The gaming press said it was excellent. After that I've never trusted them again.

 

[VerSacrum]

I hear you. The Southern part just drags and drags and drags on and of course filled with OLD SOUTH IS LE BAD shit (I mean, yeah, slavery sort of sucked, we get it)
