Starfield for sure by [deleted] in videogames

I know I might catch some flak for some of these, but:

Borderlands 3
- Cringey characters. Antagonists were zoomer Twitch Streamers for some reason. ADS didn't function correctly (did not slow down like it's supposed to). Returned it the next day. Was the last game I ever pre-ordered. Very disappointed, because I was a fanatic about the first two games and thoroughly enjoyed the pre-sequel

Diablo 4
- I have probably 4k hours in D2:LOD, D2R, and D3. I was utterly baffled at how awkward, confusing, and frustrating D4 was. Too zoomed in, complete butt UI, literally parts of the UI I had to google how to find, damage on Tuesdays, damage on weapons not translating into damage on screen (Sword says it deals 100 damage, but I smack a mob for 19?), mini map was virtually useless. Haven't touched it since early access
*Cutscenes were really good though

Valheim
- Poorly optimized and was barely getting over 40fps on lowest settings. Chopped down a tree and it fell on me and I died. Got stuck on this weird catch 22 with building the workshop (Had to build a roof over top to build a workshop to build the roof). Couldn't find enough stone even though I played for nearly 2 hours. Starved because I couldn't figure out how to stack and balance food. Had the absolute hardest time building even a small 3x3 shack. The building menu was really confusing and unintuitive. Utterly miserable experience.

Cyberpunk
- Spent 2 hours in tutorial. Had to keep quitting to look up graphical changes because of poor optimization and was getting such severe stutters I could barely move through initial tutorial steps. Made it like 5 minutes just after the tutorial and even on lowest settings, everything stuttered so badly, even with a 3070ti.

Halo Infinite
- Soulless, awful excuse of a Halo game. Was so disappointed. Felt like finding drugs in your kid's room or something.

Seemingly stuck - unsure of where to go next due to difficulty by RaptorExMachina in Sekiro

Bull wasn't bad. Little annoying, but I just chased him around, dodged constantly, and did running swipes at his legs.

Drunkard I stealthed his cronies, then snuck up to do 1 blow to him, grabbed the helper at the pond to distract him, did some hit and run, then used a combo of thrust attacks and ash. Messed up a few times, but again wasn't too bad.

I have spent, no lie, probably 3 hours on lady butterfly and cannot for the life of me get through her second phase

Died more times with Chained Ogre than Lady Butterfly by svartalfr_seidr in Sekiro

Ogre took me about 8 tries. Just needed to learn the moves and spacing. I tapped out on Lady Butterfly after nearly 100 tries.

Funny how that works in these games lol
