What series did you skip over because of one game.

Fire Emblem. I've tried The Sacred Stones and I even bought the original on the switch while it was still available. It just isn't my cup of tea at all. A lot of people told me that the newer installments are better, but I don't feel like spending $40-60 dollars to try,

 

Dark Souls/Soulsborne in general. I see why people enjoy it but I genuinely had a dreadful time trying to play the first Dark Souls, it felt so off, movement was slow and clunky and it didnt feel like I was planning my moves to combat all options, it felt like I was fighting with the control and wearing bricks for armor. I stopped at the Bell Gargoyles as that fight honestly felt poorly designed to me.

And this one is slightly different but close enough. I likely wont ever play Yakuza, or at least for a long time, due to a certain person I know who is so obsessed with the series he will literally gush about it or find an excuse to shoehorn it into every conversation, everyday. He has burned me out of a series so hard I didnt even get to play a game in the series, it was that annoying.

 

Harvest Moon, easily.

I ended up trying Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness on the DS, got through, like, two weeks in-game, and then never touched it again. There was just something about the rote repetition that annoyed me about the game, something that was mended by Animal Crossing by having, like, more interactivity with the world around you.

This is unfortunately why I also couldn't get into Stardew Valley for similar reasons. I hear that the beginning is slow, but my attention span just couldn't get into it. I just don't think farming simulators are for me.

I am, however, willing to give Rune Factory a try in the future, since the RPG fantasy elements might make the experience a bit more bearable to me.
