      Really is forced enjoyment, no one played it but it somehow has a cultural impact.

      Not entirely false, but I know it is a good game, I just can't deal with the static DQ esque RPG mechanic and having no action button so I never finish it.
      I do think the aesthetic is great, the humor and artistic direction as well, the storytelling and the writing is great and the music in 3 is fantastic. I have listened to this game's ost for years, but I am by no metric a fan of Earthbound/MOTHER.

      I have tried to play them, though and I might consider playing MOTHER 3 again if it had an official NA release, but the most I've done beside playing the games to the halfpoint, is watch playthroughs for the story.

      Earthbound had a strange 90s-anime story that's still sort of interesting, but the game play is dated even for 1994. It's Dragon Warrior level grindy and there's no real incentive to do it other than you have to if you don't want to be too weak to fight the bosses.

      Secret of Mana came out a year before EB and Chrono Trigger a year after. Infinitely more fun games on every level. Read an Earthbound(Mother) manga if you're interested in the story, but don't play that shit.

      Yeah this. Was forced to play through it and it honestly sucked, except some of the music tracks and some art design.

    Pokemon. You grind levels to evolve/get stronger, there's the entire breeding thing for stats, completionism with the Pokedex, and then there's the meta of Nuzlocke.

    You're not having fun, you're clocking in time.

    Fallout Tactics because it's a game people naturally want to skip, and you'd only play it for cred-seeking hipster reasons.

    Fable 1. They pretending it's good due to old Xbox loyalism.

    And I'm also going to say Final Fantasy Tactics. It seems like a game for people who want to think they are better than the average FF fans.

      I've never been into FF, but I am really into Ogre Battle, so I have played Tactics Ogre LUCT on PS1 in the past and the terribly slow pace of those games means that you have to be a masochist to consider yourself a fan, but the aesthetic of Tactics Ogre and the music is so gorgeous that I lasted the whole way through.

      But now that TO Reborn exists, everyone now knows that with QOL improvements and fixing the pacing issues, there is a top tier game in there. Hopefully the FFT remaster will be as high quality.

      Because honesty doesn't get you any attention. This is clearly a bait thread meant to encourage trolls trolling eachother.
      This thread is relatively free of homosexualry, so even in dishonest intents, you can find the possibility for genuine discussion.

    War Thunder, World of Tanks and GTA Online. You ask the people who play these religiously why they do it and they'll be dumbfounded. Their second favorite hobby after playing these games is incessantly complaining about how shitty they are.

    Gacha games are the only ones that really apply. You're not having fun by playing vidya, you're gambling, usually with real world cash.

      Lol. Even if that were true, how does that affect whether or not you forced yourself to play it?

    Any platformer made after the formalization of twitch gameplay or kaizo level design. Having to train muscle memory on a level-by-level basis to hit pixel or frame perfect platforms is shit. After a degree of challenge in design you aren't "playing" a game anymore you're being programmed to perform correct inputs.
