What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play? (lemmy.world)

I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

I enjoyed that game as a mostly solo casual from launch up until about KotFE/KotET. When they condensed stats and made a bunch of class changes that kind of erased what made classes unique I never had as much fun. After that I would pop in every few months, run through a class story again and then get bored.

I gave up on it fully when I realized the 10th anniversary stuff they hyped up just never really came to be.

Man KotFE was such a disaster of an expansion. They put in so much marketing and built up so much hype for the story at the expense of every other part of the game. Then it comes out and the story is bland and the PvEers and PvPers have no reason to stay subscribed.

Oh god and don’t get me started on the 10 year anniversary. Justice4R4

It really was. They tried to make an MMO into a single player game and really misunderstood why people play. And the story was pretty lame too, "Keeping Up with the Valkorians" and making every player character the man of the hour just didn't work well. At all.
