Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun? (kbin.cafe)

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

SimCity 2013 or whatever the full online one was.

It was bugs and lies all the way to the bottom of it.

What else was bad besides the bugs? I specifically tried to exclude games that were unfun because of bugs.

Oh I totally misread the question. My bad.

Answering the actual question. Any game that spams me with dark patterns bullshit is immediately unfun.

Oh here's your daily login reward! Ready for your dailies? Oh just fuck right off.

Agreed. Given how many people are sucked in by dark patterns, I'm very pleased there's a contingent who is actively turned off by them, who refuses to reward that kind of design. I'll let it go in a game that seems otherwise quality, but it does count against you in the "are you an actual game or just freemium/predatory bullshit" assessment.
