Then you don't hate them. You just aren't interested.

>Stardew Valley/Harvest Moon/Animal Crossing
Like watching paint dry. Would rather sit on my bed doing literally fucking nothing than play any of those boring dog-shit games.
>GTA, especially IV
This isn't a particularly contrarian opinion for /v/, but these games are pablum. None of them do any kind of gameplay well. If I wanted to shoot things or do any sort of combat there are a billion more interesting games, if I wanted to race cars I could just play Burnout or Forza or PGR or something, and if I wanted to fuck around for a couple hours there are far more amusing sandboxes. Bringing everything together in one mediocre package is just a waste of everyone's time

Legitimately baffles me that people like this. It's got an entertaining cast for the most part, but they're in service of an absolute dumb as fuck story with one of the dumbest antagonists in recorded history.
Not to mention the gameplay sucks donkey balls.

Metroid Prime. The people saying its good are trolling and it's because they only play Nintendo games so they don't realize how much better all the other first person games are. It's an incredibly slow game with one of the worst control schemes I've ever used in my life. I played the Gamecube version and beat it out of stubbornness, but by the end I was really over it. Every 2D Metroid game completely fucking sweeps it off its ass. Its only good aspect is the music.

I don't give a shit if it's been remastered or you can play it on emulator with PC controls. I played the original as is and it fucking sucks my dick and balls. Next time, leave it to the Japanese and those Spaniards that made Dread. Fucking Christ.

super mario bros 1 and 3 and super mario 64 are heads and shoulders above their contemporaries for their physics, which makes them a treat to play, people put up with the other stuff just for that, and the others just kind of get a free ride by piggybacking off the superior systems of their predecessors, even if they're dumbed down and simplified

it's much the same as spider-man 2 and ultimate spider-man are overall bad games, but their movement (the way web slinging specifically is coded) makes them so much fun to just move around in, that they're still regarded as decent

RE5 is very popular. Prior to Monster Hunter World, it was the single best selling Capcom game in history. It's also the game I'd nominate for the OP for that very reason - people loved it, but I fucking despise it.

Elden ring is so fucking shit, the gameplay hasnโ€™t evolved in anyway substantive, and the open world is just set dressing.
I understand from softs lore and art direction are top notch.

But for all intents and purposes many other studios making similar games have evolved their formula, one if not the only studio making games so mechanically drawl they could be considered โ€œrollslopโ€ is fucking from soft themselves.

i hate 4 niggas in a row games too but i think it's just because they're almost all so ridiculously slow for no good reason
>super slow battle start animation
>super slow attack animations that go one by one
>super slow battle end and triumph animation
>that individual fight took 2-5 minutes
>there will be thousands of fights just like it throughout the game
i like ffxii just because it lets you speed that up, and i think i'd like more jrpgs if they were similarly minded toward being faster, they don't need to be full real-time with character automation like ffxii, but at least just being designed from the ground up with the notion of all fights being as fast as possible i think jrpgs would be 10x more palatable

Blue Prince

There's nothing of any substance to any of it. The lore and world building goes nowhere. The amount of actual puzzles are laughably small. The solutions for like the back 40% of the game are uninspired repetition of the same mechanic. It is a soulless pseud game that uses music and cut scenes to convince midwits that it has depth and is profound when the reality is a shallow and unsatisfying experience.

Crosscode. Game is fucking terrible. From characters, to writing, to pacing, to quests, to almost everything except the combat being ok. However even that is undercut by forcing the player to be some retarded non-exsistent custom class in an MMO where one would assume you'd have options.

Witcher 3, the gameplay is dogshit, the Batham vision was ass when it released and it's even more ass now. It was never a good gameplay mechanic. And you have to be a turbo normalfaggot who never played much games to like combat. Since release, liking Witcher 3 has been a litmus test for me. Only utter boring normalniggers like it. People who play couple hours of vidya a week after wageslaving.

Persona has too many fans for what it is, and I find there's very little indignation for what essentially amounts to false advertising, looking at all promotional media combat and dungeon crawling are both very overrepresented while the gigantic segments of text and life simulation are usually downplayed or outright concealed, even the back of the boxes tends to overrepresent gameplay and downplay social aspects.
I also have a strong dislike for movie games, stuff like TLOU or God of War that seems designed to appeal to people who don't like gameplay, I don't mind long cutscenes but the movie to gameplay ratio needs to make sense, if a game is gonna have 20 hours of cutscenes it better have 80 hours of gameplay to justify it, otherwise you may as well just be watching a movie.
Souls and souls-like annoy me due to how slow, shallow and repetitive the combat is.
