Numen: Contest of Heroes is a game that sits at about 50% recommended on steam. I beat it years ago and really enjoyed myself, but I knew it was a unique fit for me. I only say “bad” so that we have common ground, but I value that experience.
What are “bad” games you enjoy?
I agree that infinite didn’t feel like a BioShock game, but I still enjoyed it for what it was. But FO4 was pretty good. Writing could’ve definitely used work, but the gameplay was pretty tight. I remember having issues with the new skinny murder bot event even mid game. I didn’t experience that in New Vegas. As much as I will always love New Vegas, it had some balancing issues that 4 did well.
I try to enjoy games apart from their predecessors.
FO4 just really didn’t click for me. Maybe it was too over shadowed by FO3 and FO:NV, but the writing/story was bad, the dark humor didn’t land, and the choices you were given didn’t seem have any real consequence. I guess mechanically it was OK, but I think it just didn’t live up to the expectations I had from Bethesda. In fact, I am not sure I have truly enjoyed a game they released since then.
FO4 was also up again a massive list of great games that came out around the same time. Just from memory I know that the Witcher 3, GTA V, Metal Gear Solid V, Bloodborne, and Shovel Knight came out around the same time. I am not sure which exact game it was, I am positive that I blew off FO4 once one of the others came out.
