This makes me a bad person and/or gamer according to other threads. Of all the major franchises in gaming, it is the one I least understand the popularity of. Before you say, "have you played them", I have. I've played 1, 2, ALTTP, OoT, and Twilight Princess. I've tried to like the series. But every time I play, I'm so bored. Running around poking grass, jars, and chickens with my sword isn't fun. Never ending dungeons that look the same aren't fun. The generic story isn't fun. I just...don't get it. I've tried, more than I have for probably any series I'm not interested in or don't like. Elves and high fantasy stuff aren't cool. Definitely not fun in game form. Someone please explain to me what I'm missing. Or why you also don't like the series.
I don't like tlou.

You don't actually have to like anything.
It doesn't matter what people think of your opinions, it in no way obligates you to change your mind.
It seems more like you wanted to rant about not getting it than anything else. Which, uh, great? I also do not like several things.

It's not ranting. There is nothing rant-like about it. What the thread was asking for is for people to tell me why they do or don't like the series, because I don't get it.

You have no soul.
J/K
But really you have no soul.
Different strokes for different folks.
No. I don't like sci-fi settings in general, I also don't play shooters but understand why people would enjoy those. I just don't get what is fun about the Zelda games. My brain doesn't comprehend why they would be fun to other people.
Would not understanding that other folks may like things you don't be a lack of empathy?
Damn Muchi Muchi Pink, we really are the Last of Us.

strobogo said:Elves and high fantasy stuff aren't cool. Definitely not fun in game form.
Okay, so I'm reading and I'm following. Guy doesn't like the thing, that's fine. I don't like Call of Duty, even though lots of people do and I've tried a few of the games. So, boats are floated, strokes differ. Wouldn't say the dungeons "look the same," but sure, you could levy some of these criticisms. And then...
I mean, I'm into all sorts of shit, so I'm not saying that elves and high fantasy are just automatically great, but...what? I don't understand how you reached this conclusion. How did you get from the "point A" of elves to the "point B" of not fun in games?

people who post this image should be straight up banned. it adds fucking nothing to the discussion
OT: only zelda i liked was ocarina of time
Pretty much...
This shit is subjective as hell
I have a question for OP
do you think Midna is hot?
The thing I don't like about Zelda (though contrary to the thread starter I still enjoy the games) is that it's the same old characters again and again, for nearly 30 years. There is no more sense of wonder and discovery. This is more of a general complaint about Nintendo: In the 1980s they created all those amazing and varied characters. By the mid-1990s they were largely done creating new ones and instead started using the same ones over and over again. Imagine Disney had stopped creating new characters in 1940 and would be using Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in each and every new movie...
