Pretty much any Western RPG. I feel they are SOOO hyped and everyone is "omg these games are f@cking awesome!" and then I play them...and they are boring and unimaginative. I feel like i'm playing a single player mmo, where the "main" character has no real personality and most of the games "content" is just a bunch of side quests that are irrelevant to the story. Not saying they are bad games, they just aren't for me. I definitely prefer Jrpgs.

But for sake of specificity, my friends convinced me to buy Skyrim instead of Dark Souls..lol, havn't talked to them since.

This post says it best.

It's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in my case, except that one is actually bad. WRPGs usually make up for the lack of depth in the story by brilliant combat system that keeps the player interested. Oblivion had neither, you just swing like a crazy person with absolutely no weight to the combat.

Makes me wonder why can't the main character have voice acting and and personality development, it's not even that hard considering that they do voice acting for more than 200 NPC in some WRPGs.

I can still like WRPGs style if the combat system is done, Dragon's Dogma for example.
