Anything by Rockstar. As I’ve gotten older they just seem like they are trying too hard to be edgy. — MurderOfCrows

I enjoyed the Red Dead games quite a bit, but bounced off of GTA V after it became clear that the writers have a, uh, let’s say “problem” with women. — Tsume76

Any GTA or GTA-like sandbox game. I start them up and then ask, “Now what?” every time.

Saints Row, Cyberpunk, all those sorts of games that say, “Here’s a city with lots of crime everywhere! Go do crime! Make your own fun!” They feel directionless by comparison to other games and rely on me getting a kick out of, say, stealing a car and driving it into a crowd of pedestrians. And that’s funny exactly once, then it gets dull.

I’ve never understood the hype. — staindgrey
