YOUR Most Hated "Art" Game

It's a quite good game and definitely has better exploration and world interaction than most games... but it is MY most hated game due to what it did to a formula I loved so much.
No story, shit gameplay, sub-HD graphics. 0/10. Fucking dogshit.
Seriously though, I don't hate them, but I'd say Journey and Shadow of the Colossus. Journey because it's pretty to look at, but oh so boring to play. SotC, the PS2 and PS3 versions, for being empty, barren and boring to play. The climbing controls in the PS3 HD version were busted to boot.
Fundamentally all games are art really.
If we're talking about games trying to be artsy or high art or whatever.
Metroid Other M.
It tries so very hard to be a film and basically fails on nearly all levels except maybe on the basic movement of the character.
It's also insultingly boring, sexist, constraining, linear in the worst way, with shit music, stupid bosses and I could continue for years really.

Already saw 3 takes this week that BOTW is just a "prototype demo"game so whats a few more awful ones?
"Beyond: Two Souls"I present to you one of the worst wikipedia articles

Wow, I didn't expect this thread to have a correct answer
That's because it's the first post, and also you clearly knew what the OP was asking and ignored it to bash BotW, thus it's being called a hot take.
Anyway I don't play many of these games because they don't look fun. I guess Inside on Xbox wins almost by default. I'm sure it's a good game, just not my style. I also don't really hate it, feelings aren't that strong about it.
We get it, you came in here hot looking to make a post that would get that reply alert number to go up. No need to keep milking it.

Kinda surprised this game hasn't come up with The Last of Us 2.
Really like the gameplay of TLOU2 and Infinite tho
Honestly, I was snippy and sarcastic but that's a fair enough reason. I kinda feel that way about Skyrim and Fallout 4 as a huge Morrowind and New Vegas fan even though there's certainly fun to be had in both titles.
So criticism rescinded lol
Exactly, I don't understand why that one is being singled out. Is BOTW exempt from hate? LOL
I also believe all games are art. I'll go with Undertale. What a pretentious pile of crap. Like the show Portlandia made a game.
I agree with BOTW but I don't feel like I played it long enough to be my choice.

Well, it got a reaction out of you...
Finally, proof that this is also Art.
DuChamp was an artist too, even if he hung a toilet up in a gallery.

Oh god I remember this thing with the SNES Mouse + Pad
I remember renting this from Blockbuster. Don't think it came with the mouse pad. Mostly used it for the music creator.
I'm not sure I see how either Portlandia or Undertale are "pretentious"
Neither really take themselves that seriously at all, which I feel is a requirement for being pretentious
Hey we had a "are games art" thread not that long ago! Always fun.
But I still haven't played a commercial video game I would consider art.

I'm with you on Braid. The puzzles are cool, but I never bothered to get around to finishing it because it felt so ... sterile? Is that the word? Puzzles were creative, but the game itself was wholly uninteresting.
Of the games in this "genre" that I've played, definitely Journey. I was so thoroughly bored with that game from start to finish, did not connect with me at all
37 post for someone to name Xenoblade Chronicles 2? Era is getting slower. If everything is art, then how can any game in the last 40 years of gaming, with a decent size budged, beat the horrible, bad taste, oversexualized, and just bad art in XC2 ? (Character design in specific)
Did a reverse image search on this... Oh.
Finally, proof that this is also Art.
For a split-second I thought this was a screengrab from Ace Ventura.
"Your most hated ____ game"
of course it was gonna.
I can't really think of an answer. I'm going to need to look at my Game Library, but... ugh gimme a minute.
I guess D4? I actually hate that game.
It can be, depending on how it's presented

"What Remains of Edith Finch" wasn't nearly as clever or heart wrenching as I was lead to believe. I was pretty bored through it.
I don't even necessarily think it was bad, I just don't know if that sort of story and the weird quirky way it's told is something that I like. Maybe I was just in a bad mood that day.

I was gonna chew out the OP just a little for spending more time giving a thoughtful breakdown on criticism than actually expanding on his actual point, but man, really? Like we go from the first post dropping their one sentence hottest of takes to title drops? This is the best we can muster? List threads are against policy, right? So dang, why can't we enforce even the slightest bit of quality from our discussions. Era is brutal for me lately and this is just it entirely epitomized.

I really dislike that game as well. Goes from a pretty cool story to a damn puzzle hunt out of nowhere
I played Gris at a friends house not too long ago. Hold right, get blown by wind, hold right, but now slowly go through the wind as a heavy object.
Unbelievably boring.

It's also about 40-50% a re-tread of themes and ideas already expressed in Nier Replicant/Gestalt.
As for the topic at hand: Uh...yeah probably Dear Esther? I tend to avoid these type of games for the exact kinds of reasons listed in this thread.
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
In the beginning there's this post office or some shit with this radio that's playing random numbers, so I jotted all the numbers down thinking they'll be important later. As I played I kept finding more radios and shit playing numbers so I jotted those down as well. Then as the game progressed I eventually realized you don't do fuck all throughout the entire game so my early efforts were completely useless.
I just looked up what the code was and it's just a random quote lol.
